Wonder Woman has dropped to second place after its third week and the film sits at $571 million wordwide and has outearned Suicide Squad which opened $62 million higher and is outpacing Man of Steel. The film had the second best third week for a Warner Bros. film. In other words, it continues to kick ass.

Cars 3 Easily Speeds Into First, While Wonder Woman Crosses $570 Million

Posted on by

As expected, Cars 3 won the weekend box office earning an estimated $53.5 million in its first weekend at the domestic box office. It also earned $21.3 million form a handful of foreign markets. That opening is one of the lowest for a Pixar film, just a handful of films have done worse and the lowest opening for a Cars film by about $6.5 million. The series is made for licensing though and altogether the series has earned over $10 billion in merchandising, and that number was from six years ago! So, the box office isn’t all there’s at with this film. Audiences liked what they saw with the film earning an “A” CinemaScore and the that audience was pretty split with 51% being male, 75% families, and 35% under the age of 13.

In second place was Wonder Woman which added $40.8 million to its domestic total to bring that to $274.6 million and $39.5 million from 62 markets at the foreign box office to bring that to $297.2 million. This is the second highest third weekend ever for Warner Bros., the first being The Dark Knight which earned $42.6 million and the third being The Dark Knight Rises with $35.7 million. The film has also now earned more than Suicide Squad did at this point though that film debuted with $62.7 million more. The movie is also outpacing Man of Steel. With $571.8 million so far, the film should be making Warner Bros. and DC quite happy.

In third place was the Tupac Shakur film All Eyez on Me which opened with $27.1 million despite negative critical reviews. The audience liked it giving it an “A-” CinemaScore. We predicted the film would beat expectations and it did so.

The Mummy dropped to fourth place with $13.9 million. The film has earned just $56.5 million domestically but has earned $239.1 million at the foreign box office. Not great for a $125 million film, but not a disaster film.

Wrapping up the top five was 47 Meters Down with $11.5 million which beat the $10 million studio estimate.

Out of the top five, it was a rough night for Rough Night which earned just $8 million. The film was estimated to earn somewhere in the low teens to 20s, so expect this film to quickly go away, especially with a “C+” CinemaScore.

In other comic movie news….

Smurfs: The Lost Village added about $1.6 million to its total over the week.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added about $16.2 million to its worldwide total over the week.

Logan also continued to bring in the dollars with about $40,000 domestically and $6 million worldwide.

This coming week sees the opening of Transformers: The Last Knight which will most likely come in first place (and go on to earn 3/4 of a million by the time it’s done).

We’ll be back in an hour for further analysis of this year’s comic adaptations.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Domestic Total Crosses $1 Billion

Posted on by

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!

Already, there 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.

Here’s where this year’s movie crop stands as far as the actual numbers. The averages have dropped compared to last week due to the debut of Wonder Woman, but will likely bounce back next week (and then some):

Total Domestic Gross: $1.059 billion
Total International Gross: $1.487 billion
Worldwide Gross: $2.546 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $701 million
Total “Profit”: $1.845 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $151.2 million
Average International Gross: $247.9 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $363.7 million
Average Budget: $100.1 million
Average Profit: $263.6 million

Wonder Woman Wins the Box Office Again While The Mummy Shows a Little Life

Posted on by

Wonder Woman topped the domestic box office earning an estimated $57.2 million to bring its domestic total to $205 million. The film also earned $58.1 million from 57 markets to bring its worldwide total to $435.2 milion after two weeks. The film had a budget of $149 million so with that amount it’s doing quite fine as far as profit (even taking into account marketing budget). When all is done, the film will be one of the bright spots of the year.

Coming in second place was The Mummy starring Tom Cruise which earned an estimated $32.2 million, below the predictions. While domestically that might be a dissapointment, internationally the film did very well with a reported $141.8 million for a total of $174 million. That’s Cruise’s largest worldwide opening ever. With a budget of $125 million the film’s success will be on the shoulders of the foreign box office. The question will be how this opening will impact future films in the “Dark Universe” group of films of which Bride of Frankenstein will be next.

In third place was Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie which brought in an estimated $12.3 million to bring its domestic total to $44.6 million and worldwide to $45.4 million.

In fourth place was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales which brought in an estimated $10.7 million to raise its domestic earnings to $135.8 million and worldwide now stands at $528.8 million. Again, this is a film that’ll be saved at the foreign box office though with a hefty $230 million budget its earnings are a little less impressive.

Rounding out the top five was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which brought in $6.2 million to bring its domestic total to $366.4 million and worldwide to $828.3 million.

When it comes to other comic adaptations….

Logan added about $100,000 to its domestic total over the week.

The LEGO Batman Movie added about $140,000 to its domestic total over the week.

Smurfs: The Lost Village added about $4 million to its worldwide total over the week.

We’ll be back in an hour for a further dive into comic based films this year.

Next weekend sees the release of Cars 3 which will likely take the top spot but also expect All Eyez on Me to do well if the film gets a good word of mouth.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Wins the Weekend with Mixed Results

Posted on by

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales easily won the weekend with $62.2 million beating the competition by a mile. While it won the weekend, the film didn’t do all that well considering the fact it has a reported budget of $230 million. But, the film did earn $208.4 million at the foreign box office for a total of $270.6 million. It did set a record in Russia  for an opening.

The film received an “A-” CinemaScore from the opening day audience and was 53% male and 65% over the age of 25. 72% of all showing were in 2D. With so many blockbusters coming in the following weeks, this will be a tough battle to make a decent profit. Its future will mostly be in the hands of the foreign box office.

Dropping to second place was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which earned an estimated $19.9 million domestically bringing its total to $333.2 million. Worldwide the film has earned $783.3 million.

Another new film, Baywatch, came in third place for the weekend. The film earned an estimated $18.1 million. With a budget of $69 million, that’s not a disaster but the film will have to do well at the foreign box office. The R-rated film received a “B+” CinemaScore and was 52% female with 55% of the overall audience 25 years or older.

As expected, Alien: Covenant dropped hard earning just $10.5 million in its second weekend. That’s a 70.9% drop. The film has earned $57.3 million domestically and $158.4 million worldwide. With a budget of $97 million, the film should make a small profit when it all wraps up.

Wrapping up the top five was Everything, Everything which earned an estimated $6.2 million. The film has earned $21.5 million so far with a $10 million budget.

When it comes to other comic adaptations…

Logan came in at #27 earning $106,000. The film has earned $226.1 million domestically and $607.5 million. It, along with Deadpool, that you can do comic action films with smaller budgets and make a healthy profit.

We’ll be back in an hour with even more coverage of 2017’s comic adaptations and later this week we’ll have a review of Wonder Woman which debuts this week and definitely win the weekend box office.

Alien: Covenant Narrowly Beats Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Posted on by

We predicted last week that it’d be a close one between Alien: Covenant and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the weekend box office and we were right. Alien: Covenant debuted with an initial reported $36 million compared to Guardians‘ $35.1 million.

That $36 million was far below Prometheus‘ $51.1 million debut back in 2012, however, its budget was far less, $97 million compared to $130 million. Alien: Covenant has already earned $81.9 million at the foreign box office for $117.9 million so far total. The film should do fine in the long run overall, though it’s domestic total may be disappointing. The film earned a “B” CinemaScore and the audience was 62% male, 66% age 25 and older, and 51% Caucasian.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was second, earning an estimated $35.1 million in its third week. The film has earned $301.8 million domestically, $430.8 million at the foreign box office for $732.6 million so far. It’s possible the film crosses $1 billion. With a $200 million budget, it’s one of Marvel Studios’ more expensive films. They tend to have sequels balloon in budgets. It’s their sixth highest earning film (not adjusted for inflation).

In third place was Everything, Everything which did very well with an estimated $12 million. That was the higher end of estimates and the film earned an “A-” CinemaScore, so should do well off of word of mouth.

Snatched was anything but this weekend with an estimated $7.6 million to come in fourth place. The film cost an estimated $42 million and so far has earned $32.7 million domestically. It’ll need the foreign box office to make a profit.

Rounding out the top five was Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul which debuted with an estimated $7.2 million. That’s just half of the last film’s debut back in 2012, and that was about 50% less than the previous two films. This film will have to rely on kids getting out of school if it hopes to pick up business.

When it comes to comic adaptations…

Smurfs: The Lost Village continues to smurf along earning an estimated $520,000 to come in at #14. The film has earned $43 million domestically and $180 million worldwide. For a $60 million budget, that’s not too bad.

Logan came in at #25 and added $180,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $225.9 million. Worldwide the film has earned $607.3 million.

Though the film isn’t charting, The LEGO Batman Movie earned about $200,000 domestically over the past week to bring its total to $310.3 million.

And finally, Ghost in the Shell added about $1 million to its total to bring that to $169.6, there’s still some life in there it turns out.

We’ll be back in an hour for further analysis of 2017’s comic adaptations!
