It Looks to Regain the Top in a Close Race with American Made

Posted on by

It currently has scared up enough money to retake the top of the box office earning an estimated $17.3 million. The film had slipped to second last week. The film has earned a monstrous $291.2 million domestically on a $35 million budget. The film has also earned an estimated $262 million at the foreign box office for a worldwide total of $553.2 million.

In second place was Tom Cruise’s American Made which earned an estimated $17.02 million on a $50 budget. That total is better than Cruise’s 2012 Jack Reacher. The movie has been playing since August internationally where it has already earned $64.7 million to bring its total to $81.7 million.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle dropped to third with a 56.4% decrease in its second weekend. Domestically, the film has earned $66.7 million and internationally it has earned $126.2 million for a total of $192.9 million. Domestically the film is lagging the first at the same point in its run. But, internationally the film is ahead where the original was at this point. It still has to open in France in mid-October, China on October 20, and Japan January 5. The original earned $414.4 million for its complete run.

Things may shift a bit for the top three when the official numbers are released.

Dropping from third to fourth was The LEGO Ninjago Movie which added $12 million to its domestic total. After two weeks, the film has earned $35.6 million. Internationally, the film has earned $22.7 million for a global total of $58 million. That’s far below the previous two Lego films.

Another debut rounded out the top five. Flatliners, a remake of a 1990 film, opened with $6.7 million. That was less than the original made 27 years ago. The film had a budget of just $19 million but it had a challenge to do well with It being such a hit and the same genre. The film also brought in $3.1 million from overseas. It won’t be a disaster and will cover the budget but it’s another example of a remake that wasn’t needed or wanted. A closer opening to Halloween might have benefited the film.

When it comes to comic adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming came in at #18 adding $600,000 to its domestic total. Domestically the film has earned $332.7 million and at the foreign box office it has earned $542.4 million for a worldwide total of $875.1 million.

We’ll be back in an hour for a deeper dive into this year’s comic adaptation stats.

This coming weekend Blade Runner 2049 will likely dominate the box office while My Little Pony makes its debut.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Kingsman Debuts at #1.

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.

A new comic adaptation has hit theaters this past weekend as Kingsman: The Golden Circle debuted with an impressive $39 million domestically which increases on the original film’s debut. Worldwide, the film has already earned $100.2 million on a $104 million budget.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get a late boost and is now the top grossing comic adaptation of the year passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then some. Where I had the film as debatable, the late boost at the foreign box office has put the film in the win column for the year.

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.

Atomic Blonde is approaching $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is making a comeback and has finally crossed the threshold so that its worldwide total is greater than its budget. Still not good, but also not a disaster of Titanic proportion.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.5 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.1 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. 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: $1.754 billion
Total International Gross: $2.520 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.274 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.187 million
Total “Profit”: $3.084 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $146.1 million
Average International Gross: $229.1 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $356.2 million
Average Budget: $107.9 million
Average Profit: $248.2 million

Below is where the films released stand when it comes to being compared to this year’s averages. Those in green are above average while those below are red.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle Tops the Box Office While LEGO Ninjago Falls Short

Posted on by

Kingsman: The Golden Circle was the top of the box office this past weekend earning an estimated $39 million with a budget of $104 million. That’s an improvement on the $36.2 million opening for the first film in the series which eventually went on to earn $128.3 million domestically and $414.4 worldwide. The sequel also brought in an estimated $61.2 million overseas from 55 territories.

The film received a “B+” CinemaScore and played to an audience that was 58% male, 65% was 25 years or older, and 60% between the ages of 18 and 34.

Coming in second place was It which added $30 million to its domestic total to bring the film to $266.3 million domestically. It’s the highest grossing R-rated horror film of all-time (not adjusted for inflation). Worldwide the film has earned $478 million, a monster haul.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie looks like it’s off to a bumpy start earning $21.2 million which is the lowest opening for a movie in the LEGO franchise and short of expectations. The film received a “B+” CinemaScore, the lowest of the franchise. The film was 48% male and 52% female, and 46% under the age of 18. Internationally, the film also earned an estimated $10.5 million from 37 markets and will roll out in other markets through October. It’s possible two films in the franchise in one year was a misstep.

In fourth place was American Assassin which added $6.3 million to its domestic total to bring that to $26.2 million on a $33 million budget. Worldwide the film has earned $32.3 million after two weeks.

Rounding out the top five was Home Again which added $3.3 million to its domestic total bringing that to $22.3 million off of a $12 million budget.

When it comes to comic movie adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming came in at #11 adding $1.1 million to its total. It now stand at $331.9 million domestically and with its $6 million internationally it now stands at $875 million worldwide making it the highest grossing superhero/comic film of the year.

Atomic Blonde added $81,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $51.5 million domestically and $95.6 million worldwide.

We’ll be back in an hour for a more in-depth look at this year’s comic adaptations.
