It Repeats at #1 at the Weekend Box Office Setting a September Record

Posted on by

It has broken records in just eight days with a second weekend haul of $60 million for close to $220 million in ten days domestically. The cume of $218.7 million in ten days is the largest September release ever beating Crocodile Dundee‘s $174.8 million back in 1986. That’s not adjusted for inflation, which when happens, still puts the film in the top ten. It’s just $14.2 million shy of becoming the largest R-rated horror movie of all time.

The film also opened in ten more overseas markets for a total of 56. It grossed an estimated $60.3 million for an international total of $152.6 million bringing the global total to $370 million.

In second place was the new film American Assassin which brought in an estimated $14.8 million. That beat some forecasts and the film received a “B+” CinemaScore from an opening day audience that was 55% male and 45% female with 29% under the age of 35. The film also grossed an estimated $6.2 million internationally.

Darren Aronofsky’s mother! was the talk of the weekend in third place. The film received an “F” CinemaScore, one of only 19 films to ever receive that score. The movie earned an estimated $7.5 million from an audience that was 44% male and 56% female with 18% under the age of 25. Th efilm also earned $6 million internationally for what is a failure all around. Don’t expect this one to last in theaters long, but expect it to become a cult classic in its own way.

Fourth place was held by Home Again which added $5.3 million to its domestic total to bring that to $17.1 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Hitman’s Bodyguard which earned an estimated $3.6 million to its domestic total to bring it to $70.4 million.

When it comes to comic adaptations domestically….

Spider-Man: Homecoming slipped a couple of spots to come in at #9 adding $1.9 million to its total and bring its domestic gross to $330.3 million.

At #25 was Atomic Blonde which added $167,000 to its total to bring it to $51.3 million domestically.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was #44 adding $28,000 to its domestic total to bring that to $389.8 million.

This coming weekend sees the opening of the next comic adaptation, Kingsman: The Golden Circle which will have stiff competition from The LEGO Ninjago Movie. We’ll have a deeper dive into this year’s comic adaptations in an hour.

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Homecoming Gets a Big Swing

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.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the big news this week with its China debut. The film saw a massive boost that has it going from a debatable success to an actual one. The movie is now $30 million above Spider-Man film averages after getting an influx of $70.8 million from China.

Wonder Woman continues to impress and is now the fifth highest grossing superhero film domestically.

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 $339.3 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $436.6 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.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers:

Total Domestic Gross: $1.709 billion
Total International Gross: $2.398 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.107 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.083 million
Total “Profit”: $3.021 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $155.4 million
Average International Gross: $239.8 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $373.4 million
Average Budget: $108.3 million
Average Profit: $302.1 million

It Floats to the Top With Record-Breaking $123 Million Opening

Posted on by

It had a monster of an opening with a record-setting opening that may have given some life to a anemic domestic box office.

The film had the largest September opening, largest Fall opening, largest opening for an R-rated horror film, and largest opening weekend for a horror film of any MPAA rating. The film accounted for 75% of the combined gross for the top twelve of the weekend.

On top of its $123 domestic earning, It brought in an estimated $62 million form 46 markets for a $185 million total in its first weekend.

In second place was another new film, Home Again, which earned an estimated $9 million.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard was finally bumped from first place winding up in third with an estimated $4.9 million to its total.

In fourth place was Annabelle: Creation which brought in an estimated $4 million domestically.

Finally, rounding out the top five was Wind River which earned $3.2 million domestically.

When it comes to comic movie adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming held steady at #7 adding $2 million to its domestic total. The film opened in China with an estimated $70.8 million.

Wonder Woman added $662,000 to its domestic total and is now the fifth biggest superhero release of all-time.

Atomic Blonde remained at #26 adding $274,000 to its domestic total.

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

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Inhumans Debuts at IMAX.

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.

Marvel’s Inhumans debuted this past weekend earning $1.5 million domestically and $1.1 million internationally. This is a tough one to include, but I’m going to, as it’s a hybrid television show and movie produced by IMAX, Marvel, and ABC. It’ll be included in the totals for now even though there’s no budget to figure everything out. That may change in the future and be treated like other special releases from previous years.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress passing $400 million at the foreign box office. The movie is the top earning movie domestically for DC’s movie universe by a solid $78 million (and counting). The film however is third internationally behind both Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad and likely won’t pass either. It’s the second highest earning DC movie worldwide. Wonder Woman is also the top earning comic film domestically for the year so far.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is at $324.1 million domestically, and with its $422.1 million, the film has earned $746.2 million worldwide. The film has now passed Suicide Squad worldwide. While the film has done better than average domestically for a Spider-Man film it lags internationally.

Atomic Blonde is at $89.8 million worldwide. The film has a 2.99 multiplier which is not bad, especially for a rough year at the box office.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is at $863.1 million worldwide. It’ll settle around $864 million before it’s done in the next few weeks.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is making a comeback and stands at $172.8 million on a $177.2 million budget. The film is almost even with its budget which isn’t good, but it’s not the world class disaster it looked like, just a disaster.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $338.9 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $436.0 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 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, Spider-Man: Homecoming 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.

Here’s where this year’s comic films stand as far as the actual numbers:

Total Domestic Gross: $1.703 billion
Total International Gross: $2.280 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.982 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.083 million
Total “Profit”: $2.896 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $154.8 million
Average International Gross: $228.0 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $362.0 million
Average Budget: $108.3 million
Average Profit: $289.6 million

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Wins the Worst Labor Day Weekend in 17 Years

Posted on by

It was another bad weekend at the box office but The Hitman’s Bodyguard won it again in the worst Labor Day three day weekend in 17 years. The top twelve films grossed $51.5 million and you have to go back to 2000 to get a worst weekend. That weekend grossed $47 million.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard did a three-peat earning an estimated $10.25 million to bring its total to $54.9 million on a $30 million budget.

Annabelle: Creation held the number two spot again earning an estimated $7.3 million to bring its domestic total to $89.0 million and worldwide is $253.4 million. That’s impressive for a $15 million budget.

In third place was Wind River which added $5.8 million to its domestic total. That film switched spots with Leap! which dropped to fourth adding $4.9 million to its total.

Rounding out the top five was Logan Lucky which holds that position adding $4.4 million to its domestic total bringing it to $21.5 million and $24.6 million worldwide on a $29 million budget.

When it comes to comic adaptations…

Spider-Man: Homecoming remained at #7 adding $3.7 million to its domestic total to bring it to $324.1 million. With its $422.1 million at the foreign box office the film sits at $746.2 million.

Wonder Woman improved some spots moving from #15 to #12 adding $1.9 million to its domestic total. The film has earned $408.9 million domestically and $403.7 million at the foreign box office for a total of $812.6 million total.

Inhumans is one I’ll add to the list coming in at #18 with $1.5 million. The “film” is a hybrid movie/television show between Marvel, ABC, and IMAX. It’s an IMAX only “film” limiting its reach and money in. It also brought in $1.1 million from 274 international runs in 65 markets with Germany, Italy, and South Korea still to come.

Atomic Blonde came in #26 with $887,145 to its domestic total. The domestic total is $50.4 million and $89.8 million worldwide. Not bad for a $30 million budget.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $210,000 to its domestic total. Domestically the film has earned $389.6 million and a worldwide total of $863 million to be the top comic adaptation of the year worldwide so far.

We’ll be back in an hour with even more of a look at this year’s comic adaptations.

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.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress passing $400 million at the foreign box office. The movie is the top earning movie domestically for DC’s movie universe by a solid $76 million (and counting). The film however is third internationally behind both Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad and likely won’t pass either. It’s the second highest earning DC movie worldwide. Wonder Woman is also the top earning comic film domestically for the year so far.

Wonder Woman crosses $400 million at the foreign box office.

Spider-Man: Homecoming earned $4.7 million over the week to bring its domestic total to $318.8 million, and with its $418.2 million, the film has earned $737.0 million worldwide. That’s about $13 million over the past week. The film has now passed the original Spider-Man for international earnings. While the film has done better than average domestically for a Spider-Man film it lags internationally.

Atomic Blonde added about $7 million over the past week to bring its worldwide total to $80.9 million. The film has a 2.7 multiplier which is not bad, especially for a rough year at the box office.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $400,000 to its overall total over the week which is about what it earned last week. The film sits at $862.8 million and will wind up between $863 and $864 million before it’s done.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets added $17 million to its worldwide total over the week bringing it to $132.9 million which is still far short of its $177.2 million budget. The film is still a disaster but not quite the trainwreck it once was.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $338.2 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $435.1 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 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year, The LEGO Batman Movie and Smurfs: The Lost Village, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Atomic Blonde are in that debatable area, and Valerian, Wilson and Ghost in the Shell are generally disappointments.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Repeats at Number One During the Worst Weekend in Over 15 Years

Posted on by

The Hitman’s Bodyguard repeated at the top of the box office in its second weekend adding $10.1 million domestically to its earnings bringing that to $39.6 million off of a $30 million budget. That’s the best of what is the worst August weekend in 20 years and worst overall weekend since the end of September 2001.

The top twelve films failed to bring in over $50 million. That hasn’t happened in August in over 20 years. The films totaled $49 million which is the worst since late September 2001. The next few weeks will be rough as the next major release isn’t until September 8 with It. The weekend’s total of $64 million is also the worst overall weekend since September 2001.

Annabelle: Creation came in second place for the second weekend in a row adding $7.4 million to its total for $77.9 million domestically and $215.1 million worldwide on a budget of just $15 million.

In third place was new film Leap! which brought in $5 million. Fourth was held by Wind River with $4.4 million and a massive expansion to almost 2100 theaters.

Finally, the top five was rounded out by Logan Lucky with $4.4 million to bring its total to $15 million domestically and $16 million worldwide.

Of note, speculation is that the much hyped Mayweather vs. McGregor fight played into the down box office and interestingly that fight brought in $2.6 million through Fathom Events to come in eighth.

When it comes to comic adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming held steady at #7 adding $2.7 million to its domestic total.

Wonder Woman improved in the ranking going from #16 to #13 adding $1.7 million to its domestic total.

Atomic Blonde dropped from #13 to #21 with $861,875 added to its domestic total.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $117,000 to its domestic total.

We’ll be back in an hour for a further break down of comic adaptations for the year.

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.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress passing $800 million at the box office worldwide. The film is $4 million short of crossing the $400 million mark at the foreign box office. It may pull that off still. The movie has earned Wonder Woman is the top earning movie domestically for DC’s movie universe. The film however is third internationally behind both Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad and likely won’t pass either. It’s the second highest earning DC movie worldwide.

Wonder Woman crosses $800 million worldwide. The most successful film of the DC movie universe.

Spider-Man: Homecoming earned $4.3 million to bring its domestic total to $314.1 million, and with its $410.8 million, the film has earned $724.9 million worldwide. That’s about $22 million over the past week. The film has now passed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for worldwide earnings, but is far below the average of all of the Spider-Man films released to date. This film will be debated as to its success. It’s the middle of the pack when it comes to domestic earnings but due to it dragging at the international box office the film is the second lowest earner worldwide for Spider-Man films.

Atomic Blonde added $2.2 million to its total for a domestic total of $47.2 million and $73.2 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. That’s an increase of about $12 million over the week.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $185,000 to its total to bring that to $389.2 million and $862.3 million worldwide. That’s a gain of about $400,000 over the past week. That’s the fifth highest grossing Marvel film (not adjusted).

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets didn’t make it in the weekend box office roundup but earned $500,000 domestically and about $24 million at the foreign box office over the past week. The film is still far short of its budget and unlikely to make it back.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard Tops One of the Worst Weekends of 2017

Posted on by

In another poor weekend at the box office, The Hitman’s Bodyguard topped it with an estimated debut of $21.6 million, ahead of expectations for the film. That’s not pad for a film with a $29 million budget and despite poor reviews of the film. It did get a “B+” CinemaScore from an audience that was 52% male and 70% over the age of 25.

Annabelle: Creation dipped to second place adding $15.5 million to its domestic total which now stands at $64 million. The film has earned $96.7 million at the foreign box office for a total of $160.7 million, beyond impressive for a $15 million film.

In third place was another new film, Logan Lucky which brought in $8.1 million. The film hasn’t been pushed well receiving little advertising and advace word. While the film has received good critic reviews, the audience graded it “B” for CinemaScore.

Dunkirk dropped from second to fourth adding $6.7 million to its total. The film has earned $392.7 million total on a $100 million budget.

Rounding out the top five was The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature which brought in $5.1 million. In two weeks the film has earned $17.7 million domestically on a $40 million budget. No international returns have been reported.

Overall, the weekend was a poor one with a combination of $81.5 million, less than $1 million more than the worst weekend of 2017 and adding to a summer season that’s behind the previous year by almost 13%.

When it comes to comic film adaptations….

Spider-Man: Homecoming earned $4.3 million to bring its domestic total to $314.1 million, and with its $410.8 million, the film has earned $724.9 million worldwide. That’s about $22 million over the past week. The film has now passed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for worldwide earnings, but is far below the average of all of the Spider-Man films released to date.

Wonder Woman added $1.1 million to its domestic total bringing it to $404 million and $800 million worldwide. That’s $3 million over the past week and the film has inched closed to $400 million at the foreign box office where it stands at $396 million.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $185,000 to its total to bring that to $389.2 million and $862.3 million worldwide. That’s a gain of about $400,000 over the past week.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets didn’t make it in the weekend box office roundup but earned $500,000 domestically and about $24 million at the foreign box office over the past week.
