Some other recent notables, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was in fifth place with $4.15 million, and Straight Outta Compton dropped a bunch to sixth with $4.1 million.

For geeky films, Ant-Man was in twelfth place with $1.6 million, and Jurassic World added $1.2 million to its total as well. Minions was thirteenth with $1.56 million and Inside Out was fourteenth with $1.464 million.

Other comic book films, Fantastic Four added $430,000 to its total, where it stands at $160.8 million total worldwide. The Diary of a Teenage Girl added $57,835 to its total to bring its grand total to $1.39 million.

Here’s the 2015 top five grosses for the year so far. Inside Out has passed Furious 7 to move into third for the domestic total.

Domestic

  1. Jurassic World – $648.9 million
  2. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $458.4 million
  3. Inside Out – $351.5 million
  4. Furious 7 – $351 million
  5. Minions – $331.6 million

  1. Jurassic World – $1.6559 billion
  2. Furious 7 – $1.5117 billion
  3. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $1.4022 billion
  4. Minions – $1.0801 billion

Straight Outta Compton Falls to Second Due to Unlikely Film

Posted on by

WarRoomMoviePosterThree weeks at the top of the box-office was it for Straight Outta Compton, which fell to second place in its fourth week out adding an estimated $8.85 million to its total. It was bumped off by the faith-based film War Room, which earned $9.35 million in its second week. Faith-based films tend to have a strong grassroots marketing program, so it’s not surprising it did so well, but a first place finish is.

Also of note is the debut of Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos, a Mexican animated film which earned $3.4 million and came in seventh. The strong showing of that film and War Room show strength in niche films geared towards a specific audience.

Inside Out added $3.1 million to its total to come in tenth, Ant-Man was eleventh with $2.9 million, and Minions was twelfth and earned $2.7 million. Jurassic World continues to earn with $2.6 million more at the domestic box-office. Fantastic Four continues to tank and added $1.125 million to bring its total to $54.4 million domestically and $155.6 million worldwide.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl continues to do well and added $258,926 to bring its total to $1.3 million.

Here’s the 2015 top five grosses for the year so far:

Domestic

  1. Jurassic World – $646.6 million
  2. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $457.8 million
  3. Furious 7 – $351 million
  4. Inside Out – $348.2 million
  5. Minions – $328.6 million

Worldwide

 

  1. Jurassic World – $1.649.6 billion
  2. Furious 7 – $1.5117 billion
  3. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $1.4016 billion
  4. Minions – $1.0428 billion
  5. Inside Out – $734.4 million

 

Straight Outta Compton Takes First for the Third Week in a Row

Posted on by

Straight Outta ComptonThe competition was rather week, which had Straight Outta Compton easily sail to keep first place at the weekend box-office. The film has been in first place for three weeks in a row, in what shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. It was a slow weekend though with an estimated $68.8 million earned by the top 12 films, and that’s 22% lower than last year’s $88.2 million, and even that was an off year.

Straight Outta Compton earned an estimated $13.2 million which kept it number one, beating out War Room which earned around $11 million. In third place was another debut, No Escape, which did escape with an estimated $10.3 million. That bumped Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation into fourth.

In comic and geek related movie news, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was in sixth place with an estimated $4.4 million. Hitman: Agent 47 has already been assassinated earning just $3.9 million in its second week. Jurassic World keeps eating dollars adding $3.1 million to its impressive totals. Minions keeps multiplying adding $2.9 million to its domestic total. Ant-Man came in at tenth earning $3.1 million. Fantastic Four continues with a non-fantastic earning, bringing in $1.7 million. The Diary of a Teenage Girl added $425,000 to its total. And finally Terminator: Genisys brought in $190,000.

For the year, Jurassic World reigns supreme domestically having earned $643.1 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron is second with $457.5 million. Furious 7 is third with $351 million. Inside Out is fourth with $344.5 million, and Minions is fifth with $324.8 million.

Worldwide grosses are the same movies, but a different order. Jurassic World rules with $1.6367 billion. Furious 7 is second with $1.5117 billion. Avengers: Age of Ultron is third with $1.4013 billion. Minions has crossed the billion line and stands currently at $1.0189, and  Inside Out is fifth with $702.5 million.

Straight Outta Compton Stays on Top of the Charts

Posted on by

Straight Outta ComptonFacing weak competition, Straight Outta Compton remained in the top spot at the weekend box-office for the second week in a row. The film earned an estimated $26.76 million to stay in first place. The film’s total domestic gross currently stands at $111.5 million. The film hasn’t earned much of anything overseas, my guess is it hasn’t opened yet, if it will.

Repeating in second place was Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation which added $11.7 million to its total to bring itself to $157.8 million domestically after four weeks. In foreign markets the film has earned $280.8 million to bring its worldwide total to $438.6 million.

Other big debuts this week was Sinister 2 which came in third and earned an estimated $10.6 million, the video game based reboot Hitman: Agent 47 which earned $8.2 million for fourth, and American Ultra which earned $5.5 million to place sixth.

The other major holdover was The Man From U.N.C.L.E. which in its second week came in fifth and earned $7.4 million to bring its domestic total to a meager $26.6 million. The film has earned $26 million in foreign markets so far.

In other comic related movie news, Ant-Man added $4.1 million to its domestic total to come in eighth and bring its domestic earnings to $164.5 million. The film has also earned $196.5 million in foreign markets to bring its total to $361 million. While the film has likely made a profit with a budget of $130 million, it trails other Marvel Cinematic films to be the second worst earner just ahead of The Incredible Hulk. The film has a chance to move past Captain America: The First Avenger before it’s done, but it’ll be close.

Minions continues to rake in the money adding another $3.7 million to its domestic total. The film stands at $319.965 million domestically and is just shy of crossing the billion dollar mark worldwide. It sits at $989.365 million. If it does, it’ll be the fourth film this year to do so.

Fantastic Four continues its spiral into the negative zone (ie how much money it stands to lose when it’s all over). The film added $3.65 million to bring its domestic total to $49.6 million and worldwide total to $130.4 million.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl in its third week continues to expand the number of theaters it’s in. The film is now in 69 theaters and earned $180,000. The film has earned an estimated $425,000 at the domestic box office. It was purchased for $2 million at Sundance.

The yearly box office ranks hasn’t changed from last week. Jurassic World remains in the top spot domestically and has earned $639.568 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron is second with $457.4 million, Furious 7 is third with $351 million, Inside Out is fourth with $342.4 million and Minions is in fifth at $319.965 million.

Worldwide things are similar in rankings with slight differences. Jurassic World is still on top with $1.6229 billion, Furious 7 is second with $1.5117 billion, Age of Ultron is third with $1.4012 billion, Minions is fourth with $989.4 million, and Inside Out is fifth with $689.9 million.

Straight Outta Compton Tops Chart, Man From U.N.C.L.E. Stumbles

Posted on by

Straight Outta ComptonStraight Outta Compton ruled the weekend box-office coming in at number one with an impressive estimated earning of $56.1 million. It knocked Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation out of the top spot into second place where it added an estimated $17 million to its total. Another high profile debut, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. didn’t fair so well, earning just $13.535 million for its first week at the domestic box-office.

Straight Outta Compton looks to have debuted as the sixth best August opening of all time, and adds to a stellar year for its distributor Universal which has crossed the $2 billion mark at the box-office on Saturday. It beats the previous record holder Warner Bros. by four months. They hit that mark December 25, 2009.

When it comes to comic movies Fantastic Four dropped to fourth, losing 68.9% from the previous week. While that might seem like a lot, it’s not the worst for a movie headlined by a Marvel character. Elektra, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Hulk all did worse. Fantastic Four added $8 million to its total to bring its domestic earning up to $41.96 million. The film has earned $102.1 million worldwide so far.

Ant-Man was in sixth place adding an estimated $5.5 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $157.6 million domestically and $336.5 million worldwide. The film still sits in second to last as far as earnings for Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl which is based off a graphic novel expanded its opening to 22 theaters and earned $112,000. The film earned a lot of buzz at Sundance and was purchased by Sony Pictures Classics for $2 million. The film has earned a total for $195,000 so far in its two weeks.

For the yearly totals, Jurassic World still reigns supreme. The film is at the top of the domestic box-office grosses with $637.9 million. It’s still earning a decent chunk, so that number has a ways to go before it’s done. It’s followed by Avengers: Age of Ultron in second with $457.2 million, Furious 7 in third with $351 million, Inside Out in fourth with $339.4 million and Minions rounds out the top five with $313 million.

The worldwide grosses are a little different with Jurassic World still on top with $1.6062 billion, and Furious 7 in second with $1.5117 billion. Avengers: Age of Ultron has earned $1.3988 billion to be in third place. Minions is fourth with $957.5 million, and Inside Out is fifth with $639.5 million.

Ant-Man Falls Short, Trainwreck Overperforms

Posted on by

ant-man movie posterAnt-Man fell just short of its projection. The film brought in an estimated $58 million this past weekend. Projections had it opening between $60-$65 million.

Ant-Man had the second worst opening for a Marvel film. The worst was The Incredible Hulk which opened with $55.4 million. It also had the lowest average per screen earning, just $15,051 on average. The film has also earned $56.4 million at the foreign box-office bringing its total to $114.44 million so far.

The film does have an “A” CinemaScore, so maybe there’s hope for the film in the long run, but its debut shows a weak spot in Marvel’s impressive armor. It also makes you wonder if it’ll affect the plans for other debut characters coming up such as Black Panther and Captain Marvel.

Trainwreck, the other major debut this weekend, opened with $30.2 million placing it in third. It’s director Judd Apatow’s second best opening weekend ever. The opening is considered a strong one for the R rated film.

Minions held on to second place earning $50.2 million.

Avengers: Age of Ultron continues to earn bringing in $479,000.

When it comes to totals for the year, Jurrasic World dominates at the domestic box office earning $611.2 million so far, with Age of Ultron in second and $456 million and Furious 7 in third with $351 million.

Worldwide, Jurassic World is now in first with $1.5135 billion so far. That knocks Furious 7 to second with $1.5117 billion and Age of Ultron sits in third with $1.3935 billion.

Jurassic World and Inside Out Battle for First

Posted on by

jurassic_worldThough there’s still some arguments and it’s not 100% settled, it looks like Jurassic World has retained first place at the box-office for the fourth weekend in a row. The film earned an estimated $30.9 million. Close behind is Inside Out, which is in second after three weeks in theaters. That film earned an estimated $30.1 million. It does look like Inside Out won the five day Fourth of July frame with $45.3 million compared to Jurassic World‘s $43.8 million.

Jurassic World also added $42 million overseas to bring it’s international total to $826.9 million, which when adding its domestic total (which crossed the $550 million mark) brings its grand total to $1.385 billion so far. That puts it in fifth place as far as highest grossing films ever, and has it passing Avengers: Age of Ultron which sits at $1.37 billion. That film just opened in Japan where it earned $6.5 million.

In movie openings Terminator Genisys was an apocalypse for that film franchise earning an estimated $28.7 million for three days and $44.1 million for five days. In 2009 Terminator Salvation earned $42.6 million in three days and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines made $44 million. So, this film’s opening isn’t that great domestically. It did do decent overseas where it earned $74 million to bring its international total to $85 million, and it opened in first in a few countries. There are two more Terminator films slated to be released in 2016 and 2017, so it’ll be interesting to see if this film’s opening impacts that.

Magic Mike XXL opened with $12.04 million over three days, and $27.07 million over five, not all in ones. The film had a 96% female audience, and a budget of just $14.9 million.

Jurassic World Holds on to First, Crosses $500 million Domestically

Posted on by

jurassic_worldJurassic World three-peat, taking the top spot at the box-office for the third week in a row. It earned an estimated $54.2 million. It narrowly beat Inside Out which earned an estimated $52.1 million in its second week.

Jurassic World has turned into a monster of a summer movie, crossing the $500 million mark at the domestic box-office. It now stands at $500.1 million, and at the foreign box-office it has earned $737.5 million. It’s well over the billion dollar mark, the third film to do so this year, earning $1.24 billion so far. It’s the fastest any film has crossed the $500 million mark doing so in 17 days. The previous record was 23 days by Marvel’s The Avengers. The film is in first place by a long shot in domestic earnings this year and is closing in on second. There’s a chance the film will give the all-time earning spot a run for its money.

Mad Max: Fury Road continues to do well adding an additional $1.74 million to bring its domestic total to $147.1 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron also hung on to tenth place earning an estimated $1.64 million to bring its domestic total to $452.4 million.
