Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Wonder Woman Approaches $400 million.

Posted on by

2017 feels like it’s shaping up to be a wild ride for comic adaptions. We look at who the real winners and losers are for this year’s comic films.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress approaching $400 million at the domestic box office, just $500,000 short, and it’s $6.1 million short of $400 million internationally. Wonder Woman is the top earning movie domestically for DC’s movie universe. The film however is third internationally behind both Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad and likely won’t pass either. It’s the second highest earning DC movie worldwide.

Wonder Woman approaches $400 million, the best of the DC movie universe.

Atomic Blonde in its second weekend dropped to seventh place adding $8.2 million to its total. So far, the film has earned just shy of $46 million but in two weeks it has earned almost as much as Ghost in the Shell and Valerian domestically.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle standing at $65.6 million with a $177 million budget. The film will need a miracle from here on out.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is an interesting film when it comes to whether it’s a winner or loser. The film has earned $670.9 million worldwide but that’s dead last when it comes to Spider-Man films. It’s fourth when it comes to domestic (not adjusted for inflation). When we do adjust for inflation it’s fifth out of sixth. When it’s all done, the film will likely wind up in the middle of the pack when it comes to domestic earnings but be at the end of the pack for worldwide earnings.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $336.5 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.2 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $433.6 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments.

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

Total Domestic Gross: $1.641 billion
Total International Gross: $2.091 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.733 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.083 million
Total “Profit”: $2.650 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $164.1 million
Average International Gross: $232.4 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $373.3 million
Average Budget: $108.3 million
Average Profit: $265.0 million

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Atomic Blonde Debuts

Posted on by

Atomic Blonde opened up this past weekend, the latest comic adaptation, based on the series published by Oni Press. With expectations that the film would open around $20 million, it fell short with just $18.6 million. Still, with a $30 million budget, the film will be fine in the long run and probably turn a profit.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle standing at just $30.6 million domestically in two weeks. With a budget of $209 million, the movie will need a miracle. The film has made a bit over $25 million at the foreign box office and opens in China on August 25.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to do well with a worldwide gross of $633.8 million. I say well, because while that number’s impressive it’s short the $766.2 million average Spider-Man films earn. It will likely be the lowest earning Spider-Man film to date.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and is on its way to $400 domestically, just the 27th film to do so. The movie has earned $786 million, the second highest amount for a DC movie universe film. However, due to its much lower budget, the film has the highest gross to budget return.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations and helping it catch up in a way. On average DC films earn $335.5 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.2 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $432.8 million.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments. Spider-Man: Homecoming, we’ll wait and see.

Here’s where this year’s movie crop stands as far as the actual numbers (numbers have dipped due to a new film opening):

Total Domestic Gross: $1.599 billion
Total International Gross: $2.031 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.630 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.115 million
Total “Profit”: $2.515 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $159.9 million
Average International Gross: $225.7 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $363.0 million
Average Budget: $111.5 million
Average Profit: $251.5 million

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Wonder Woman Passes Guardians

Posted on by

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was the latest comic adaptations to launch in the theaters and it’s debut is nothing but a failure. With a budget over $200 million, the film earned just $17.02 million at the domestic box office. The film needs a miracle.

Spider-Man: Homecoming in its third week dropped 50% and will likely end its run around the last two SONY Spider-Man films receiving no Marvel bump.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and passed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in domestic earnings. It’s now the top earning comic film of the year at the domestic box office. It also is challenging Logan for the best gross to budget for the year.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations and helping it catch up in a way. On average DC films earn $333.9 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.1 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $432.7 million.

Spider-Man: Homecoming in its second weekend fizzled a bit with a 61% drop from the previous week. It was dethroned to come in second for the weekend but despite a mixed two weeks the film has earned $469.4 million worldwide.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and will likely pass Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in domestic earnings in the next week or two. It also is challenging Logan for the best gross to budget for the year.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations and helping it catch up in a way. On average DC films earn $331.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.1 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $431.2 million.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Spider-Man Enters the Mix!

Posted on by

Spider-Man: Homecoming opened up this past weekend and we’ve still got two more comic adaptations to hit theaters in July alone! 2017 has seen over $3.1 billion earned by comic films making it the fifth most earned by comics and we still have about half the year to go!

Wonder Woman continues to impress and will likely pass Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in domestic earnings in the next week or two. It also is challenging Logan for the best gross to budget for the year. This week DCU films crossed $3 billion earned worldwide, an impressive amount.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations. On average DC films earn $328.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.8 million and DC lags behind with $429.4 million.

Spider-Man: Homecoming opened up with the second highest opening for a Spider-Man film (not adjusted for inflation). I’m predicting it’ll wind up with around the average earning for a Spider-Man film which is about $800 million worldwide. Though, folks will say it’s a “success” compared to those other films.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village are in that debatable area, and Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments. Spider-Man: Homecoming, we’ll wait and see.

Over the week Wonder Woman has repeated at the box office coming in first place and doubling its earnings over the week. Not too bad. With only minor competition, the film had one of the best second week drops for a comic film besting all the recent DC based releases and most of Marvel’s over the past 5 years. Wonder Woman continues to be wonderful!
