Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Three Comic Films Debut

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 and dive into the numbers… not opinions.

Thor: Ragnarok is the beginning of the holiday movie season and it started out strong domestically with a little over $121 million opening in North America. That’s the seventh largest opening for a Marvel Cinematic film and beat this year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming which opened with $117 million. Thor opened with $65.7 million to go on and gross $181 million (not adjusted) domestically and $449.3 million worldwide in 2011 while Thor: The Dark World opened with $85.7 million and went on to gross $206.3 million (not adjusted) domestically and $644.6 million worldwide in 2013.

The film received an “A” Cinemascore with an audience that was 56% male and 44% female, and 63% over the age of 25.

Overseas, the film opened with an estimated $55.6 million in China, the largest ever for a November release. It also debuted with $5.2 million in India, $10.8 million in Mexico, $8.9 million in Germany, $3.5 million in Japan, and $3.7 million in Russia.

The film’s debut has pushed Marvel over $13 billion globally and $5 billion domestically.

But, Thor: Ragnarok wasn’t the only debut for comic films this week.

My Friend Dahmer opened in four theaters earning $45,000. That’s a very healthy per-theater average. Blade of the Immortal also made its domestic debut earning $42,000 in 30 theaters. The film already has earned $6.7 million from its release in Japan earlier in the year.

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is still bringing in money adding about $100,000 to its domestic total. The film still leads this year’s comic adaptations.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is now at $389.6 million passing Captain America: The First Avenger, X-Men: First Class, and Batman Begins in worldwide earnings.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget. The film has passed the 2002 Spider-Man when it comes to worldwide gross. It now sits at #11.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $302.1 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $472.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market and it’ll be interesting to see how the new Thor and Justice League impact these totals.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Thor: Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, Logan, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year. Kingsman: The Golden Circle, 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. We’ll wait and see about My Friend Dahmer and Blade of the Immortal. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

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: $1.938 billion
Total International Gross: $3.071 billion
Worldwide Gross: $5.009 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.367 million
Total “Profit”: $3.632 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $129.2 million
Average International Gross: $236.2 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $333.9 million
Average Budget: $113.9 million
Average Profit: $220 million

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Thor Ragnarok Debuts Internationally

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 and dive into the numbers… not opinions.

Thor: Ragnarok opened in 36 international markets with $107.6 million. That opening is 4% above Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and 22% above Doctor Strange. The film opens in North American theaters this coming week as well as Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, Austria, and more (almost 100% of the global marketplace).

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is still bringing in money adding about $200,000 to its domestic total. The foreign box office was adjusted down over the week by $1 million. The film still leads this year’s comic adaptations with two more looking to dethrone it.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle added $33 million over the week worldwide. The film is still behind the original and can be considered a mediocre success. The film is now beating this year’s comic adaptation’s “profit” average.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget. It added a little over $33,000 to its total over the weekend. The film is just $74,000 behind the 2002 Spider-Man when it comes to worldwide gross. It currently sits at #12 at the all time comic adaptation list with a chance to move to #11.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market and it’ll be interesting to see how the new Thor and Justice League impact these totals.

Jigsaw Wins the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by

Did Netflix’s Stranger Things beat the weekend box office? That’s a theory for the down earnings. Which saw one of the worst weekends of the year and $18 million less than last year.

Lionsgate‘s Jigsaw won the weekend earning an estimated $16.25 million. The film is the latest in the Saw franchise. The film has just a $10 million budget so the debut was good but the franchise isn’t debuting with the strength it once had. Internationally the film earned $9.5 million from 46 markets. It still has to debut in Italy, France, Belgium, Australia, and South Korea.

The film had a “B” CinemaScore and was 51% female audience and 52% under the age of 25. Expect the film to drop quickly as far as dollars in but it’ll be a success for Lionsgate.

Lionsgate also had the number two spot with Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween which earned an estimated $10 million. The film has earned $35.5 million domestically on a $25 million budget. The first film had earned $52.5 million at the same point in its run.

Geostorm was in third place and earned an estimated $5.7 million with a domestic total of $23.5 million. The film has also earned $113.4 million at the foreign box office for a total of $137 million from a $120 million budget.

In fourth place was Happy Death Day with an estimated $5.1 million. The film has earned $68.6 million worldwide on a $4.8 million budget. Comic writer Scott Lobdell who penned this film should be very happy with these results.

Rounding out the top five was Blade Runner 2049 which earned an estimated $4 million to bring its domestic total to $81.4 million and $223.4 million worldwide on a $150 million budget. The film debuted in China and didn’t receive the boost it hoped earning just $7.6 million. The film also debuted at #1 in Japan with an estimated $2.7 million.

Thank You For Your Service opened at #6 with an estimated $3.7 million, Suburbicon opened at #9 with a disappointing $2.8 million from 2,046 theaters and Let there be Light debuted at #11 with an impressive $1.9 million from 373 theaters.

The big news though is the debut of Thor: Ragnarok which opened in 36 international markets with $107.6 million. That opening is 4% above Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and 22% above Doctor Strange. The film opens in North American theaters this coming week as well as Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, Austria, and more (almost 100% of the global marketplace).

In other comic adaptations….

Kingsman: The Golden Circle came in at #14 adding $1.6 million to its total.

We’ll be back in an hour for a deeper dive into this year’s comic adaptations!

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Kingsman: The Golden Circle Cracks the Top 50

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 and dive into the numbers… not opinions. We’re in the holding pattern until the next two big “comic” films, Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League debut. But, this year’s releases are still bringing in the dollars.

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of the two big comic stories of the year. The film is the top grossing comic adaptation of the year so far and gained about $400,000 over the past week. It sits at about $11 behind Spider-Man 3 and is #8 when it comes to top grossing comic adaptations of all time (not adjusted for inflation).

Kingsman: The Golden Circle added $3 million to its total to come in at #10 and bringing its domestic total to $94.6 million and $344.8 million worldwide. The film opened in China with $40.3 million an improvement over the original film. The first film brought in about $75 million from the market overall. The sequel lags the first film by about $70 million worldwide but doesn’t open in Japan until January 5. The first film brought in $7.5 million there. The film is now in the “green” when it comes to its international gross compared to this year’s current average though lags the domestic average.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget. It added a little over $162,000 to its total over the weekend. The film is just $107,000 behind the 2002 Spider-Man when it comes to worldwide gross. It currently sits at #12 at the all time comic adaptation list with a chance to move to #11.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is pretty done with a at home video release coming in a few weeks. The film sits at a little over $225 million for its total.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market and it’ll be interesting to see how the new Thor and Justice League impact these totals.

Wonder Woman, Logan, Spider-Man: Homecoming, 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. Things aren’t looking good but we’ll see about Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

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: $1.812 billion

Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween Wins the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by

Earning an estimated $21.7 million, Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween won the weekend box office with easy, besting the next film by over $8 million. It’s not too surprising at how well the film did as this is the creator’s films tend to open with over $20 million and this is the seventh of eight to do so. It’s unknown how well this film will do as it opened in the middle of the pack for the director’s films. All together, the director’s films have earned almost $1 billion collectively.

In second place was the $120 million budgeted Geostorm which brought in just $13.3 million in its debut weekend. At the foreign box office the film has earned $49.6 million. With poor reviews from both audiences and critics, the movie will need to rely on the foreign box office to make up ground. It opens in China next weekend followed by France and Italy on November 1. The movie’s life hangs in the balance and will likely be decided by the Chinese box office.

Happy Death Day dropped to third place with a 64% drop from its debut weekend. The movie earned an estimated $9.4 million to bring its domestic total to $40.6 million. The film has also earned $12.9 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $53.6 million on a $4.8 million budget.

Blade Runner 2049 came in fourth place adding in $7.2 million to its domestic run to bring it to $74 million. Worldwide the film has earned $194.1 million on a $150 million budget. Adjusting for inflation, domestically the film is about $9 million behind the 1982 original. It debuts in China and Japan next weekend where I expect it to do quite well.

Wrapping up the top five was another new film Only the Brave which opened with an estimated $6 million on a $38 million budget. This was despite positive reviews and an “A” CinemaScore.

Another big opener, The Snowman, opened at #8 with just $3.4 million. Bad reviews all around probably have killed this film.

This past weekend was a week one earning $30 million less than the same weekend last year. October is down about 13% compared to last year.

In comic adaptation news….

Kingsman: The Golden Circle added $3 million to its total to come in at #10 and bringing its domestic total to $94.6 million and $344.8 million worldwide. The film opened in China with $40.3 million an improvement over the original film. The first film brought in about $75 million from the market overall. The sequel lags the first film by about $70 million worldwide but doesn’t open in Japan until January 5. The first film brought in $7.5 million there.

We’ll have a more detailed look at this year’s comic movie releases in an hour.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Spider-Man Passes Dawn of Justice

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.

We’re in the holding pattern until the next two big “comic” films, Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League debut. But, this year’s releases are still bringing in the dollars.

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of the two big comic stories of the year. A late boost has seen the film surge in the rankings and the film is the top worldwide grossing comic adaptation of the year so far. The film has also passed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the numbers as of now are very similar domestically and internationally. The film now ranks as #8 in the all time grossing comic adaptations and is $11.6 million behind Spider-Man 3.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is still only a few weeks into its run and running behind the first film’s domestic run by about $40 million at the same point. It also has a higher budget by about $23 million. It’s unlikely the film will match its predecessor’s success.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is slowing down and crossed the $225 million mark. The film is not a success, but it earned more than its budget fueled by the international box office.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.7 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 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, Spider-Man: Homecomning, 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. Things aren’t looking good but we’ll see about Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films.

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.

This past week has been pretty quiet when it comes to comic adaptations. The latest film to debut, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, has been mixed as it’s running behind the previous film’s domestic run and ahead of its foreign run. So… a wash? It also keeps up the trend of the foreign box office saving this year’s movie industry.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get a late boost and is the top grossing comic adaptation of the year passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then some. The film has crossed $700 million when it comes to its budget and worldwide earnings and has a 5x multiplier. The big question is if it’ll cross $900 million at the box office.

Wonder Woman continues to impress as it winds down its run. It’s still the highest earning domestic earner for a comic film this year so far. It has a 5.51x multiplier of its budget and earnings.

Atomic Blonde will fall short of $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is slowing down and will likely end around $225 million as long as there’s no more debuts.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.7 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.3 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, Spider-Man: Homecomning, 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. We’ll see about Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Marvel’s Inhumans… got no clue and tough to debate since it’s a television show primarily with a limited film engagement.

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: $1.797 billion
Total International Gross: $2.639 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.435 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.187 million
Total “Profit”: $3.245 billion

Blade Runner 2049 Takes First Place at the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by

When does coming in first still mean you’ve failed? When it comes to the movie box office, that’s when. Blade Runner 2049 won the weekend box office bringing in an estimated $31.5 million. Expectations had the film opening somewhere between $41-$55 million. Those expectations seem to forget that the original film was considered a failure when it first opened and it has only gained popularity and a cult following over the years since.

The film debuted overseas with $50.2 million which met expectations for that. The $150 million film opened with $81.7 million. Another example of the fact the international box office is what matters now. The movie falls into the 60/40 international/domestic ratio we’d expect for modern films’ earnings.

The movie was 71% male vs. 29% female, of which 63% of the total audience was over the age of 35. It did receive an “A-” CinemaScore. It’s possible word of mouth may help the film but it has a short window to make up ground domestically.

In second place was another new film The Mountain Between Us which earned $10.1 million. The film’s budget is just $35 million so should do well enough to make that back over the long run.

In third place was It which dropped from second last weekend. The film added $9.7 million to its domestic total and has earned $304.9 million domestically and $603.7 million on a budget of just $35 million.

In fourth place was another new film, My Little Pony: The Movie which debuted with $8.8 million domestically and $3.8 million at the foreign box office. The film met or barely beat expectations.

Rounding out the top five was the comic adaptation Kingsman: The Golden Circle which dropped from first to fifth adding $8.1 million to its domestic total. The film’s domestic total is just under $80 million and foreign is $173.6 million for a total of $253.6 million on a $104 million budget. The film lags behind the original but it currently ranks about the same for the year, so it’s possible the film is suffering from the year’s issues.

We’ll be back in an hour to take a look at this year’s comic adaptations and where things stand.
