Rogue One Wins the Weekend Again, Sing Holds for Second

Posted on January 2, 2017 by Brett

As expected, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was number one at the box office again this holiday weekend bringing in an estimated $49.5 million. The film has earned $424.9 million domestically after three weeks.

In second place, again as expected, was Sing which earned an additional $42.8 million domestically in its second week. That’s an improvement on the previous weekend where it earned $35.3 million. Domestically the film has earned $166.4 million after two weeks and with a budget of $75 million the film is doing quite well.

Passengers also improved upon last weekend’s $14.9 million. The film remained in third adding $16.2 million to its domestic total. The film sits at $61.5 million after two weeks and with a budget of $110 million it’ll have to fight to become profitable.

Moana improves moving to fourth from sixth and earning an estimated $10.97 million after six weeks. The film has earned $210 million domestically.

Rounding out the top five is Why Him? which added $10.6 to its domestic total. With $34.6 million earned and a $38 million budget, the film should make a small profit.

Assassin’s Creed dropped to eighth in its second week earning an estimated $8.6 million. With $39.6 million in so far the film needs a miracle.

For comics Doctor Strange was #18 earning $665,000 domestically. The film has earned $230.1 million domestically so far after nine weeks and will soon be wrapping up its domestic run.

We’ll update this as more info comes in and come back in an hour as we look at where the comic films ended up for the year.

Rogue One Tops the Box Office While Assassin’s Creed is Game Over

Posted on December 26, 2016 by Brett

Even with some big name competition Rogue One: A Star Wars Story topped the box office with an estimated $64.4 million over the weekend. That’s a drop of 58.5% from the previous weekend and with another estimated $31.7 million on Monday the film sits at $318 million domestically. With $237.4 million in foreign box offices the film has earned $555.5 million so far.

Rogue One sits at fourth in domestic earnings for Star Wars films, eighth when that’s adjusted for inflation, and sixth for worldwide earnings.

The film was followed by a bunch of new film openings. Sing was in second place earning $35.3 million over the three-day weekend and $55.9 million domestically since its opening earlier in the week. With a budget of just $75 million the film should do quite well especially with families over the holiday season especially with an “A” CinemaScore and 72% rating on RottenTomatoes.

In third was Passengers which opened with $14.9 million over the three days and $22.2 since it opened on Wednesday. At a $110 million budget and bad reviews, the film is on shaky ground. It’ll probably need the power of its stars to drive earnings in foreign box offices to come out at the other end doing well.

Why Him? opened in fourth at an estimated $11.1 million over the three days. With a budget of just $38 million the “R” rated film should do fine and make back it’s money.

Finally, in what can only be seen as a disappointment, Assassin’s Creed earned an estimated $10.3 million of the three days and $17.8 million since its open on Wednesday. The film has earned another $14.2 million in foreign box offices and with a budget of $125 million it can only be seen as a flop continuing the video game movie curse. With a 19% on RottenTomatoes and B+ CinemaScore, the film is doomed for game over.

In comic films, Doctor Strange added an estimated $634,000 to its total to drop to 16th from the previous week’s 9th. The film is at $228.3 million domestically and $656.1 million worldwide.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Dominates the Box Office with $290.5 million Worldwide

Posted on December 19, 2016 by Brett

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ruled the weekend box office earning an estimated $155 million. That’s the fourth largest December three-day weekend ever, the third largest opening of 2016, and second December opener to debut over $100 million. The other film to do that was Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’ll be interesting to see how the film does over the month as it’s going against some other high-profile openings and Oscar bait. It received an “A” CinemaScore, but was pretty male with 66% of the audience. 38% were under the age of 25. So far the film has an 84% on RottenTomatoes.

Internationally the film earned an estimated $135.5 million which brings its worldwide total to $290.5 million. These numbers will probably shift a little once the official tallies come in.

In second place was Moana giving Disney a one-two punch. That film added $11.7 million to its domestic total bringing it to $161.9 million. In third was Office Christmas Party which added $8.5 million to its domestic total to bring that to $31.5 million after two weeks.

In fourth place was Collateral Beauty which earned a disappointing $7 million. With a budget of $36 million that isn’t a disaster, but it shows how far Will Smith’s star power has dropped. It’ll be a tough road for the film as the audience that would go for it will mostly be focusing on the slate of Oscar films opening up over the month.

Rounding out the top five was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which added $5 million to its total to bring its domestic earnings to $207.7 million.

Speaking of Oscar films… Fences opened up in 4 theaters earning $128,000 giving it the second best per-theater average for the weekend.

When it comes to comic adaptations, Doctor Strange added $2 million to its domestic total bringing it to $226.1 million and worldwide it sits at $652.9 million.

This weekend sees a whole bunch of films opening (or going wider) including Passengers, Assassin’s Creed, Why Him?, Sing, and the previously mentioned Fences.

We’ll be back in an hour where we’ll dive into the 2016 comic adaptations even deeper.
