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.

2018 is a record setting year for comic film adaptations. It has topped 2017’s record year and then some. Currently, comic adaptations have earned $2.697 billion domestically, $4.562 billion internationally, $7.258 billion worldwide, with a “profit” of $6.047 billion. That’s off of 10 films. 2017, with 16 films, saw domestic earnings of $2.365 billion, international earnings of $3.755 billion, worldwide earnings of $6.120 billion, and “profits” of $4.442 billion.

While 2018’s films are winding down as far as earnings, they’re still not done!

Avengers: Endgame finally dropped out of the top five this past weekend coming in at #6. The film added $6.7 million to its total to bring it to $815.5 million domestically. Internationally, the film added $18 million over the week to bring that total to $1.898 billion. The film has now earned $2.713 billion. That puts it just $75 million shy of the all time record holder Avatar which earned $2.788 billion. While it was expected Endgame would topple that giant, it’ll be close as the summer blockbusters roll in to challenge it for dollars.

Captain Marvel slipped just one spot to #18. It added an estimated $170,000 to its domestic total and bringing it to $426.2 million. Internationally, the film added about $140,000 to its total over the week. That total now stands at $701.3 million for a worldwide gross of $1.128 billion. The film is now $19 million behind Aquaman.

Shazam! didn’t chart for the weekend box office but earned about $102,000 over the week domestically. The film has earned $138.7 million domestically, $223.4 million internationally, and $362.1 million worldwide. It’s about $8.5 million behind Captain America: The First Avenger and most likely won’t pass it.

With a budget of just $100 million, the film has an average gross to the budget for a DC Cinematic film and will likely remain in the middle of the pack for that. It remains the lowest grossing big-budget DCU film and is unlikely to change that. Still, it’s hard to call the film a failure with its return on its budget.

Alita: Battle Angel has shown some life earning some dollars at the international box office. The film earned $72,000 over the week to bring that total to $319.1 million. Worldwide, the film has earned $404.9 million. It’s $3 million short of X2: X-Men United.

After a few weeks of no earnings, Dragon Ball Super: Broly received a boost at the international box office. The film added $3.3 million to that total and bringing it to $83.4 million. Worldwide the film has earned $114.1 million. It has now passed 1995’s Judge Dredd and is now #108 in worldwide earnings for a comic adaptation.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse didn’t chart this past week and looks like its earnings have been adjusted a bit. The international earnings dropped about $30,000. With a domestic earning of $190.2 million and international total of $185.2 million, the worldwide total is $375.4 million. It’s the last release on 2018 whose total is adjusting. Once it’s done, we’ll be doing our dive into the year as a whole.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers.

Total Domestic Gross: $2.697 billion
Total International Gross: $4.562 billion

In third place at the box office this past weekend was Avengers: Endgame. It added an estimated $16.8 million domestically over the three days and will be around $22 million for the four day holiday. The film crossed $800 million domestically, only the second to do so. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the first. Internationally, the film added $15.3 million from 54 markets. It’s now about $111 million behind Avatar to become the highest grossing film worldwide of all time. The film has earned $803.6 million domestically and $1.879 billion internationally for a worldwide total of $2.683 billion.

Captain Marvel came in at #18 adding an estimated $359,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $425.8 million. Internationally the film has earned $701.2 million (a gain of about $1 million over the week) for a worldwide total of $1.127 billion. It’s now about $20.7 million behind Aquaman and remains in 9th place for worldwide grosses for a comic adaptation.

Shazam! come in at #20 this past weekend with an estimated $268,000 adding to its domestic total. That now stands at $138.5 million. Internationally, the film earned about $700,000 over the week to bring that total to $223.4 million and a worldwide total of $362 million.

Hellboy didn’t make any gains over the week, so this one is officially dead in the water.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse didn’t chart this past week but earned $10,000 internationally to bring that to $185.2 million. With a domestic earning of $190.2 million the worldwide total is $375.5 million. It’s the last release on 2018 to still be earning money.

It had to happen eventually and this weekend was it. Avengers: Endgame was knocked from the top of the box office to come in second place. It earned an estimated $29.4 million after four weeks of release. Domestically, the film has earned $770.8 million and has passed Avatar to be the second highest grossing film domestically. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has the top honor having earned $936.7 million in 2015. It’s unlikely Avengers: Endgame will pass it before its run is over. Worldwide, Endgame now stands at $2.615 billion putting it about $174 million behind Avatar to become the highest grossing film worldwide. There’s a chance it’ll pass that film to take the top honor but will have to rely on the foreign box office to do so.

This past weekend Captain Marvel dropped to #14 from #11 earning $727,000 after 11 weeks at the box office. The film stands at $425.1 million domestically. Internationally, the film earned about $700,000 over the week to bring that total to $700.8 million. Worldwide, the film has earned $1.126 billion. It’s about $22 million behind Aquaman, which looks to have ended its run.

Shazam! was right behind Captain Marvel coming in at #15. The previous week the film was #12. It earned $681,000 to bring its domestic total to $137.9 million after seven weeks. It also earned $1.2 million internationally over the week to bring that total to $222.7 million and $360.6 million worldwide.

With a budget of just $100 million, the film has an average gross to the budget for a DC Cinematic film and will likely remain in the middle of the pack for that. It remains the lowest grossing big-budget DCU film so far and is unlikely to change that. Still, it’s hard to call the film a failure with its return on its budget.

Hellboy continued to not rank on the weekend box office but over the week earned about $72,000 domestically to bring that total to $21.9 million.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse didn’t chart this past week but earned $36,000 internationally to bring that to $185.2 million. With a domestic earning of $190.2 million the worldwide total is $375.4 million. It’s the last release on 2018 to still be earning money.

Avengers: Endgame has won the weekend box office for a third time in a row with an estimated $63.1 million. That brings the domestic total for the film to $723.5 million making it only the third film ever to cross $700 million. It now stands as the third highest grossing domestic release of all-time passing fellow Marvel Cinematic Film, Black Panther.

Internationally, the film added #102.3 million to bring that total to $1.762 billion. It’s the second highest grossing film internationally behind Avatar‘s $2.027 billion.

Worldwide, the film stands at $2.485 billion putting it a little over $300 million away from overtaking Avatar as the top grossing film ever. That film earned $2.788 billion. There’s a good chance the film will eventually be number one and most likely will take a month’s time, though it may be tight as the summer box office really kicks off and competition rolls out.

Captain Marvel dropped from #5 last week to come in at #10 adding $1.8 million to its domestic total after 10 weeks. The film has earned $423.8 million so far. The film is about $24 million behind Aquaman but most likely won’t pass it.

The film ranks #60 in all-time worldwide earnings for a comic based film. It’s about $12 million behind Captain America: The First Avenger which ranks #59.

With a budget of just $100 million, the film has an average gross to the budget for a DC Cinematic film and will likely remain in the middle of the pack for that. It remains the lowest grossing big-budget DCU film so far and is unlikely to change that.
