Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Atomic Blonde Debuts

Posted on by

Atomic Blonde opened up this past weekend, the latest comic adaptation, based on the series published by Oni Press. With expectations that the film would open around $20 million, it fell short with just $18.6 million. Still, with a $30 million budget, the film will be fine in the long run and probably turn a profit.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle standing at just $30.6 million domestically in two weeks. With a budget of $209 million, the movie will need a miracle. The film has made a bit over $25 million at the foreign box office and opens in China on August 25.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to do well with a worldwide gross of $633.8 million. I say well, because while that number’s impressive it’s short the $766.2 million average Spider-Man films earn. It will likely be the lowest earning Spider-Man film to date.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and is on its way to $400 domestically, just the 27th film to do so. The movie has earned $786 million, the second highest amount for a DC movie universe film. However, due to its much lower budget, the film has the highest gross to budget return.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations and helping it catch up in a way. On average DC films earn $335.5 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.2 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $432.8 million.

Already, the 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, and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments. Spider-Man: Homecoming, we’ll wait and see.

Here’s where this year’s movie crop stands as far as the actual numbers (numbers have dipped due to a new film opening):

Total Domestic Gross: $1.599 billion
Total International Gross: $2.031 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.630 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.115 million
Total “Profit”: $2.515 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $159.9 million
Average International Gross: $225.7 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $363.0 million
Average Budget: $111.5 million
Average Profit: $251.5 million

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Wonder Woman Passes Guardians

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was the latest comic adaptations to launch in the theaters and it’s debut is nothing but a failure. With a budget over $200 million, the film earned just $17.02 million at the domestic box office. The film needs a miracle.

Spider-Man: Homecoming in its third week dropped 50% and will likely end its run around the last two SONY Spider-Man films receiving no Marvel bump.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and passed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in domestic earnings. It’s now the top earning comic film of the year at the domestic box office. It also is challenging Logan for the best gross to budget for the year.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations and helping it catch up in a way. On average DC films earn $333.9 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.1 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $432.7 million.

Spider-Man: Homecoming in its second weekend fizzled a bit with a 61% drop from the previous week. It was dethroned to come in second for the weekend but despite a mixed two weeks the film has earned $469.4 million worldwide.

War for the Planet of the Apes Wins the Weekend. Spider-Man Swings and Misses.

Posted on by

I had predicted it’d be a close weekend at the box office based on good word of mouth over Spider-Man: Homecoming but looks like I was off on that one. By a wide margine, War for the Planet of the Apes won the weekend with an estimated $56.5 million. The film also earned $46 million at the foreign box office for a total of $102.5 million worldwide. That’s not bad for a first weekend with a budget of $150 million. War‘s opening was a million more than Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011 and $16 less than 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Luckily War is about $20 million cheaper than Dawn as far as budget.

The film was 57% male and 63% were 25 years or older as well as 48% Caucasian, 20% African American, 18% Hispanic, and 10% Asian. The opening day audience gave the film an “A-” CinemaScore.

Spider-Man: Homecoming in its second week dropped 61% to bring in $45.2 million. It also brought in $72.3 million at the foreign box office. The film stands at $208.3 million domestically and $261.1 million at the foreign box office for a total of $469.4 million.

Despicable Me 3 added $18.9 million to its domestic total to bring it to $188 million but the foreign box office is where it’s at. The film has earned $431.4 million for a total of $619.4 million.

In fourth place was Baby Driver which earned $8.8 million at the domestic box office. Domestically the film has earned $73.2 million and worldwide the film has earned $96.3 million. That’s a win with just a $34 million budget.

Rounding out the top five was The Big Stick which earned $7.6 million domestically and sits at $16.1 million.

In comic movie earnings…

Wonder Woman moved to sixth adding $6.9 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $380.6 million domestically and $384.2 million at the foreign box office for a total of $764.9 million.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was #13 adding $512,000 to its total. The film has earned $386.6 million domestically and $472.5 million at the foreign box office for a total of $859.1 million.

Logan added about $30,000 to its total during the week.

Smurfs: The Lost Village added $400,000 to its total over the past week.

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. Spider-Man Enters the Mix!

Posted on by

Spider-Man: Homecoming opened up this past weekend and we’ve still got two more comic adaptations to hit theaters in July alone! 2017 has seen over $3.1 billion earned by comic films making it the fifth most earned by comics and we still have about half the year to go!

Wonder Woman continues to impress and will likely pass Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in domestic earnings in the next week or two. It also is challenging Logan for the best gross to budget for the year. This week DCU films crossed $3 billion earned worldwide, an impressive amount.

Wonder Woman is also driving the gap between earning averages for the Marvel and DC adaptations. On average DC films earn $328.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.8 million and DC lags behind with $429.4 million.

Spider-Man: Homecoming opened up with the second highest opening for a Spider-Man film (not adjusted for inflation). I’m predicting it’ll wind up with around the average earning for a Spider-Man film which is about $800 million worldwide. Though, folks will say it’s a “success” compared to those other films.

Already, the 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. Spider-Man: Homecoming, we’ll wait and see.

Here’s where this year’s movie crop stands as far as the actual numbers (numbers have dipped due to a new film opening):

Total Domestic Gross: $1.359 billion
Total International Gross: $1.794 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.154 billion

Wonder Woman became the highest grossing film domestically of the new DC Universe leading Batman v Superman by about $16 million. The film has overperformed DC’s films domestically by about $23 million so far but internationally it’s lagging. Even lagging, the film crossed the $700 million mark. The film is also the best return on budget of the DC Universe so far earning a 4.75 multiplier beating Suicide Squad‘s 4.26.

Despicable Me 3 Wins the Box Office. Baby Driver Overperforms for Second

Posted on by

Despicable Me 3 won the weekend box office with $75.4 million, which is about $10 million less than Despicable Me 2. That amount is also about $8 million shy of what was predicted for its opening. The film received an “A-” CinemaScore and was about 50/50 male and female. 69% of the viewers were families and 50% were under the age of 13.

The film opene up overseas two weeks ago and added 46 new territories this past weekend. The film brougt in $95.6 million from international box offices for a total of $116.9 million internationally and $192.3 million worldwide so far. There’s still 15 territories to go.

In second place was Baby Driver for Edgar Wright which broughin about $21 million over the three-day weekend and about $30 million over five days. That’s the largest opening for a Wright film and solid buzz drove the film’s earnings higher. That openeing beat expectations, though we expected it to overpeform due to positive buzz. The film received an “A-” CinemaScore with an audience that was 55% male and 61% age 25 and older. You can read our review.

In third place was last week’s champ Transformers: The Last Knight which added $17 million to its total to bring it to $102.1 million domestically. The film also earned $68 million at the international box office with some larger markets still to open. Despite poor reviews the film has earned $429.9 million over two weeks.

Wonder Woman came in fourth place adding $16.1 million to its domestic total to bring it to $346.6 million. The film also crossed another milestone and so far sits at $708.4 million worldwide.

Rounding out the top five was Cars 3 which added $9.5 million to bring its domestic total to bring that to $120.7 million. Worldwide the film has earned $173.8 million.

As far as comic related films…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $1.4 million to its domestic total to bring that to $383.3 million domestically and $854.5 million worldwide.

Logan added $500,000 over the past week to bring its worldwide total to $615.9 million.

Smurfs: The Lost Village added about $1 million to its total over the week to bring its worldwide take to $194.8 million.

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.
