Where the Data Ranks 2018’s Comic Book Films. Black Panther Rules 2018 as it Winds Down

Posted on by

Comic film adaptations are big dollars and we track how they do each week to see trends and what’s working and what’s not. This past weekend, Ant-Man and the Wasp came in at #13 earning an estimated $2.6 million to bring its domestic total to $208.4 million. Internationally the film has earned $257.2 million for a worldwide total of $465.6 million. The film is still shy of the original’s total though it has earned $28 million more domestically unadjusted for ticket price inflation. Worldwide the sequel is shy $54 million.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies dipped a few spots to come in at #18. The film added $710,000 to its total to bring its domestic earnings to $27.3 million. Internationally the film stands at $5.3 million for a worldwide total of $32.6 million off of a $10 million budget. While the film’s earnings might seem low, it has a multiplier of 3.26, better than Ant-Man and the Wasp. That means the film should be profitable at this point and with earnings still coming in, it’ll continue to be the film of 2018 which in the surface seems like a dud but overall is a winner.

Despite its home release, Avengers: Infinity War continues to bring in money. The film was #32 with $97,000 to bring its domestic total to $678.6 million. Worldwide the film has earned $2.046 billion.

Deadpool 2 wasn’t on the chart for the weekend, but the film added about $500,000 to its total over the week. Domestically, the film has earned $318.3 million and also $415.3 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $733.6 million. The sequel lags the original in every way and with a much higher budget, it’s unlikely it’ll be as profitable as the original. It is the second most successful “X” film domestically behind the original (not adjusted for inflation) and worldwide the film is in third place (again unadjusted).

Black Panther has slowed down finally ending its theatrical run. The film is the top grossing domestic film of 2018 so far and isn’t likely to be passed. The film added about $20,000 internationally over the week. Worldwide, the film has brought in $1.347 billion. The movie is the rare blockbuster that has earned more domestically than it has internationally.

The Death of Stalin didn’t shift at all and looks like it’ll stay at earning $8,041,828 domestically.

I Kill Giants continues to be a weird one when it comes to numbers. Some more numbers have come in. According to what little we could find, it looks like the film’s domestic box office has brought in $183,754. All together, the film has earned a reported $263,621 at the foreign box office. The movie was released on demand at the same time in theaters, so the film has made money it’s just unknown how much.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers. With a new film opening the averages have dipped.

Total Domestic Gross: $1.941 billion
Total International Gross: $2.705 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.646 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $797.1 million
Total “Profit”: $3.828 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $277.3 million
Average International Gross: $386.4 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $663.7 million
Average Budget: $132.9 million

Crazy Rich Asians Helps Warner Bros. Deliver a One Two Punch

Posted on by

Crazy Rich Asians won the weekend beating most industry expectations. The film earned an estimated $34 million over its five-day opening. Made on a reported $30 million budget, the film has a strong 74 rating on Metacritic and an “A” Cinemascore.

For the three day weekend, the film earned $25.2 million and will likely cross $100 million before it’s done. The film opened in just six foreign markets where it earned $730,000. The movie is getting a staggered release schedule with Australia opening on August 30 and mid-September in the UK.

The second spot was held by last weekend’s winner, The Meg. The film earned an estimated $21.2 million to bring its domestic total to $83.8 million. Internationally, the film added $67 million from 55 markets to bring the foreign gross to $230.4 million.

Mile 22 opened in third place with a slightly below expectation earning of $13.6 million.

The fourth and fifth place is a photo finish. New film Alpha and Mission: Impossible – Fallout both have an estimated $10.5 million as of reporting. Those totals may change when the final numbers come in.

When it comes to comic film adaptations…

Ant-Man and the Wasp came in at #13 earning an estimated $2.6 million to bring its domestic total to $208.4 million. Internationally the film has earned $257.2 million for a worldwide total of $465.6 million.

The Meg Dominates the Weekend with a $44.5 Million Debut

Posted on by

It was a monster of a weekend that shows giant sharks can still drive audiences into the theater. The Meg won the weekend with an estimated $44.5 million debut at 4,118 screens for an average of $10,806. That debut is well above the estimates which expected it to be in the $20s million range.

The film received a “B+” CinemaScore, nothing that really shows this is a film driven by positive word of mouth. But, with a lack of giant monster films, this is one that could just be the right release at the right time.

The film has also earned $97 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $141.5 million, already passing the $130 million budget.

In second place was the box office champ for the past two weekend, Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The movie earned an estimated $20 million to bring its domestic total to $162 million. With $275.6 million at the foreign box office the film is showing sequels can mean success with a worldwide total of $437.6 million on its $178 million budget.

In third place was Disney’s Christopher Robin which dropped 49.4% from its debut weekend. The film earned an estimated $12.4 million to bring its domestic total to $50 million. Internationally the film has earned $12.1 million for $62.1 million total.

Rounding out the top five were two new films.

Slender Man came in fourth with an estimated $11.3 million off of a $10 million budget. There’s lots of money to be made in low budget horror and the films seem to do well no matter the time of year that they’re released.

Rounding out the top five was BlacKKKlansman from Spike Lee. The film earned an estimated $10.8 million from a $15 million budget. It has also earned $400,000 at the foreign box office. This is on the higher end of openings for Lee whose best was 2006’s Inside Man. It’s close to his second best opening which was The Original Kinds of Comedy’s $11.1 million in 2000. That film went on to earn $38.2 million.

In comic movie earnings…

Ant-Man and the Wasp rounded out the top 10 earning an estimated $4 million to bring its domestic total to $203.5 million. The film has also earned $245.4 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $448.9 million after six weeks. The film is still shy of the original’s total though it has earned $23 million more domestically unadjusted for ticket price inflation. Worldwide the sequel is shy $71 million.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies came in at #15 earning an estimated $1.8 million to bring its domestic total to $25.5 million off of a $10 million budget. The film has also earned $4.5 million at the foreign box office for a total of $30 million.

Despite being released for home, Avengers: Infinity War was #25 for the weekend earning an estimated $196,000 to bring its domestic total to $678.4 million. The film has also earned $1.367 billion for a worldwide total of $2.046 billion.

Where the Data Ranks 2018’s Comic Book Films. Black Panther Crosses $700 Million

Comic film adaptations are big dollars and we track how they do each week to see trends and what’s working and what’s not. This past weekend, Ant-Man and the Wasp dropped one spot to bring in $6.2 million and lift its domestic total to $195.5 million after five weeks. While the sequel has topped the original by $15 million, if you adjust the original for inflation, it’s still behind by $9 million. Internationally, the film has earned $230.8 million for a total of $426.3 million. Worldwide, the sequel still needs at least $93 million to move past the original.

In its second week, Teen Titans Go! To The Movies dropped 53.3% and brought in $4.9 million domestically. While the group might be going to the movies, it doesn’t look like audiences are to see it. Its total is now $20.8 million, over double the budget of $10 million. Internationally the film has brought in $2.4 million for a total of $23.2 million.

Avengers: Infinity War was #22 slipping one spot earning an estimated $240,000 to bring its domestic total to $678.1 million. Internationally the film has earned $1.367 billion for a worldwide total of $2.045 billion. The film is $23.1 million shy of moving into third place of all time and there’s a chance the film could do it, though unlikely.

Deadpool 2 dropped four spots to come in at #27 for the weekend. The film earned $177,000 domestically to bring that total to $318 million. With $414.6 million earned internationally, the film has brought in a worldwide total of $732.6 million. The sequel lags the original in every way and with a much higher budget, it’s unlikely it’ll be as profitable as the original. It is the second most successful “X” film domestically behind the original (not adjusted for inflation) and worldwide the film is in third place (again unadjusted).

In the biggest news, Black Panther was #33 for the weekend bringing in $35,000 and crossing the $700 line. The film is only the third movie to do so. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the top film with $936.7 million and Avatar is second with $760.5 million. Internationally, Black Panther has earned $646.7 million for a worldwide total of $1.347 billion. The movie is the rare blockbuster that has earned more domestically than it has internationally.

Mission Impossible – Fallout Repeats in First While Black Panther Crosses $700 Million

Posted on by

With an estimated $35 million, Mission: Impossible – Fallout repeated at the top of the box office. It also brought in $76 million from 56 markets which included 20 new openings. The film’s domestic gross is $124.5 million so far. It has earned $205 million at the foreign box office for a total of $329.5 million worldwide. The film is doing very well compared to past Mission: Impossible films.

In second place was Disney’s Christopher Robin which fell short of expectations. The film earned an estimated $25 million. Things aren’t too bad as the film got an “A” CinemaScore and doesn’t have a lot of competition over the next few weeks. Still, disappointing. Internationally, the film opened in 18 markets where it brought in $4.8 million.

In third place was another debut, The Spy Who Dumped Me which earned an estimated $12.35 million. This too was a bit below expectations. With a budget of $40 million, the film shouldn’t do too bad and received a “B” CinemaScore.

In fourth place was Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again which added an estimated $9 million to its domestic total. Domestically it has earned $91 million. Internationally, it added $19.3 million as it opened in seven new markets. Overseas it has earned $139.2 million for a global total of $230 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Equalizer 2 which brought in an estimated $8.8 million to bring its domestic total to $79.9 million. The film doesn’t have much of an international footprint yet but will be expanding over the next three months.

Ant-Man and the Wasp dropped one spot to bring in $6.2 million and lift its domestic total to $195.5 million after five weeks.

Where the Data Ranks 2018’s Comic Book Films. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies But Viewers Don’t

Posted on by

Despite a positive word of mouth, people didn’t go to see Teen Titans Go! To the Movies during its debut weekend. The film brought in an estimated $10.5 million. That’s far short of expectation which had the film opening in the mid-teens. We expected the film to easily be second for the weekend but it came in a distant fifth. The film has a budget of just $10 million, so the poor performance isn’t a disaster. The film also opened in eight small markets internationally bringing in an estimated $1 million. What’s strange is the film has a very positive word of mouth receiving a “B+” Cinemscore, 90% on Rottentomatoes, and 70 on Metacritic.

Ant-Man and the Wasp brought in an estimated $8.4 million bringing the domestic total to $183.2 million which pushed it past the original. The film has a reported budget of $162-$195 million more than $30 million than the original which had a budget of $130 million. Worldwide the film stands at $394.2 million where the original earned $519.3 million. The film opens in the UK August 2nd, Italy on August 14th, and Japan on August 31st. The film seems to be outpacing the original domestically but internationally we’ll have to wait and see after some of those openings. The UK drove a decent amount of earnings for the original which makes the comparison difficult.

Avengers: Infinity War earned an estimated $388,000 to bring its domestic total to $677.5 million and come in at #21 for the weekend. Worldwide, the film has earned $2,044,151,008 which is about $1 million more than the previous week.

Deadpool 2 brought in an estimated $270,000 to come in at #24 for the weekend. Its domestic total is $317.7 million so far and worldwide it has earned $731.6 million. It dipped from the previous week due to some adjustments. The original earned $363.1 million domestically ($387.4 million adjusted for inflation). The budgets are the biggest difference for the two films. The original’s was just $58 million while the sequel ballooned to $110 million. The sequel would have to cross well in to $825 million to equal the success of the original.

Black Panther gets closer to that elusive $700 million domestically by bringing in an estimated $3,000 and coming in at #44 for the weekend. It stands at $699,955,434 domestically. We’re on our edge to see if it can cross $700 million domestically. Worldwide the film stands at $1.347 billion. It increased about $20,000 over the past week.

The Death of Stalin wasn’t on the chart but still brought dollars in over the week bringing its total to $8,041,828 about a $4,000 increase. That’s about the same amount as the previous week.

I Kill Giants continues to be a weird one when it comes to numbers. Some more numbers have come in. According to what little we could find, it looks like the film’s domestic box office has brought in $183,754. All together, the film has earned a reported $263,621 at the foreign box office. The movie was released on demand at the same time in theaters, so the film has made money it’s just unknown how much.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers. With a new film opening the averages have dipped.

Total Domestic Gross: $1.897 billion
Total International Gross: $2.652 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.550 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $797.1 million
Total “Profit”: $3.731 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $271 million
Average International Gross: $378.9 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $649.9 million

Mission: Impossible – Fallout Debuts with a Franchise Best while Teen Titans Go! to the Movies Struggles

Posted on by

Mission: Impossible – Fallout topped the box office with an estimated $61.5 million, which is the franchise’s largest three-day opening. It’s also the second largest opening for a Tom Cruise film.

The film earned the best reviews for the franchise, a 97% on RottenTomatoes and 86 on Metacritic as of writing. The opending day audience gave the film a franchise-best of “A” CinemaScore. Not suprisingly, the film was 55% male.

The film debuted in 36 markets delivering an estimated $92 million which is the biggest opening for the franchise.

With a positive reaction from audiences and it being at the tail end of the summer, the film should do quite well.

In second place was Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again with an estimated $15 million. Domestically the film has topped $70 million. It too has little competition for its demographic so should be interesting to see what legs it has.

The Equalizer 2 dropped to third place after topping the box office last weeked. With a $14 million estimate, the film dropped a lot more than original. It’s just short of $65 million after ten days.

In fourth place was Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation which brought in an estimated $12.3 million to bring its domestic total to $119.2 million after three weekends.

Rounding out the top five was Teen Titans Go! To the Movies which brought in an estimated $10.5 million. That’s far short of expectation which had the film opening in the mid-teens. We expected the film to easily be second for the weekend. The film has a budget of just $10 million, so the poor performance isn’t a disaster. What’s strange is the film has a very positive word of mouth. The film also opened in eight small markets internationally bringing in an estimated $1 million.

In other comic films…

Ant-Man and the Wasp brought in an estimated $8.4 million bringing the domestic total to $183.2 million which pushed it past the original. The film has a reported budget of $162-$195 million more than $30 million than the original which had a budget of $130 million. Worldwide the film stands at $394.2 million where the original earned $519.3 million.

Avengers: Infinity War earned an estimated $388,000 to bring its domestic total to $677.5 million and come in at #21 for the weekend.

Deadpool 2 brought in an estimated $270,000 to come in at #24 for the weekend. Its domestic total is $317.7 million so far.

Black Panther gets closer to that elusive $700 million domestically by bringing in an estimated $3,000 and coming in at #44 for the weekend. It stands at $699,955,434 domestically.
