Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Wonder Woman Crosses $400 million.

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.

The big news is that Wonder Woman continues to impress passing $400 million at the domestic box office, just $500,000 short, and it’s $5.1 million short of $400 million internationally. 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 $400 million domestically. The best of the DC movie universe.

Atomic Blonde in its third weekend dropped to tenth place adding $4.6 million to its total. So far, the film has earned $61.8 million worldwide but in three weeks it has passed both Ghost in the Shell and Valerian domestically.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle standing at $90 million with a $177 million budget. The film will need a miracle from here on out.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is an interesting film when it comes to whether it’s a winner or loser. The film has earned $702.1 million worldwide but that’s dead last when it comes to Spider-Man films. It’s fourth when it comes to domestic (not adjusted for inflation). When we do adjust for inflation it’s fifth out of sixth. When it’s all done, the film will likely wind up in the middle of the pack when it comes to domestic earnings but be at the end of the pack for worldwide earnings. The film did pass Wonder Woman when it comes to international earnings emphasizing Warner Bros. issues at the foreign box office.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $337.1 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $433.8 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.

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

Total Domestic Gross: $1.667 billion
Total International Gross: $2.141 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.808 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.083 million
Total “Profit”: $2.725 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $166.7 million
Average International Gross: $237.9 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $380.8 million
Average Budget: $108.3 million
Average Profit: $272.5 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.

 

Annabelle: Creation Creates Scares and a Win at the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by

It was a slow weekend at the box office down 6% from the same weekend last year but it was a big weekend for Warner Bros. whose Annabelle: Creation topped it with a $35 million opening. The film also has earned $36.7 million at the foreign box office for a toal of $71.7 million. With a budget of just $15 million, that’s a great start but, it’s the lowest opening the “Conjuring” series of films domestically. The previous Annabelle film, released in 2014, opened with $37.1 million, and 2016’s The Conjuring 2 opened with $40.4 million. That’s also the second win for director David F. Sandberg whose Lights Out earned $67.1 million on a $5 million budget. He’s rumored to be directing the big budget Shazam! film for WB and New Line.

The film play to a majority female audience of 52% who were 54% 25 years or older. The film received a “B” CinemaScore which is on par with the first film though the two Conjuring films received an “A-.”

Dunkirk repeated in second place adding $11.4 million to its domestic total to bring it to $153.7 million domestically and $363.7 million worldwide.

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature opened in third place with $8.9 million. That’s the worst opening for a film playing in over 4,000 theaters. The Emoji Movie set that record a few weekends ago with $24.5 million and before that was The Mummy which opened with $31.7 million. It’s a record setting 2017!

The Dark Tower saw a 58.9% drop going from first to fourth and earning just $7.9 million domestically. The film sits at $34.3 million domestically on a $60 million budget. Its also earned $19.3 million at the foreign box office for $53.6 million total.

Finishing the top five was The Emoji Movie with $6.6 million domestically to bring its total to $63.6 million. Worldwide the film has brought in $97.2 million despite it being one of the worst reviewed films of the year.

When it comes to comic adaptations…

Spider-Man: Homecoming brought in $6.1 million to come in at #7. Domestically the film has earned $306.5 million and $702 million worldwide.

Atomic Blonde was #10 with $4.6 million. Worldwide the film has earned $61.7 million on a $30 million budget.

Wonder Woman was #16 with $1.5 million. The film has crossed the $400 million mark and sits at $402.2 million domestically and $797.1 million worldwide.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets earned $890,000 and struggles with just $90 million worldwide on a $177.2 million budget.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $262,000 to its domestic total to stand at $388.9 million domestically and $861.9 worldwide.

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

So Who Are The Best Spider-Man Movie Villains?

Posted on by

We’re taking a break from Underrated this week because sometimes a thought comes to you that you can’t quite shake, and this is one of them. Was Topher Grace as shitty as a shitty thing? Has Michael Keaton stolen his way to the top spot? Join me as I take a completely unobjective look back at the last twenty odd years of Spider-Man movies and proceed to rank the villains in a completely serious and professional manner.

Yeah, I’m being a wee bit sarcastic. This entire list is based on my opinion and nothing more.

Anyway. These villains have all appeared in one of the live action movies from Spider-Man right up until Spider-Man Homecoming, and this post will contain spoilers for all of these movies to some degree (though I’ll try to limit the  Homecoming specific ones). I’ve deliberately avoided villains that appear as cameo appearances (such as Rhino is ASM2 because they’re not exactly fleshed out enough to be more than scenery).

In reverse order:

venom_grace.jpgNine: Topher Grace as Venom (Spider-Man 3)
Did you really expect anybody else to hover around here? I mean… I’m already willing to say that Tom Hardy is a better Venom than Topher Grace – and they haven’t started filming that movie yet. If you’ve seen the movie, you know exactly what I mean. If you haven’t, save yourself the trouble. Grace was horribly miscast, and  has taken some serious flack for his role in what is widely considered the weakest movie in the franchise.

franco goblin.jpgEight: James Franco as New Goblin (Spider-Man 3)
What was the point? Honestly? What was the bloody point. If even you want to see a film waste the potential of an actor who could have carried the movie as the main villain, then this is it. Harry Osborne’s arc seems to have a rushed conclusion as he the butler confesses the truth after years of watching Harry tear himself apart… the potential for a great showdown was wasted in the same movie that turned Venom into a joke. The New Goblin could have been a fantastic foil to Spider-Man, as evidenced by the rooftop fight, and their verbal sparring throughout… but alas it was not to be.

dehaan goblin.gifSeven: Dane Dehaan as Green Goblin (Amazing Spider-Man 2)
It’s not that Dane Dehaan was a bad actor, but his Green Goblin paled in comparison to Willem Dafoe’s, and every bugger who saw the movie was painfully aware of that. The threat level seemed forced, and the character was much more sinister as Harry Osborne just before he cracked into the Goblin than at any point after the transformation – which is why he edged Franco here.

Electro-Spider-ManSix: Jamie Foxx as Electro (Amazing Spider-Man 2)
Another character where the actor wasn’t bad, indeed Foxx’s performance was really interesting, and by having the character’s insecurities play off against Spider-Man’s confidence allowed the hero/villain relationship to take a direction that we hadn’t seen in a Spider-Man movie before. Personally, I wasn’t fond of the look of the character, but I enjoyed Foxx’s performance.

Thomas_Haden_Church_Spider-Man_3.jpgFive: Thomas Haden Church as Sandman (Spider-Man 3)
Perhaps  the one redeeming villainous performance in this movie came at the gritty hands of Flint Marko, played by Thoma Haden Church. Sandman became an oddly sympathetic character doing the wrong things for the right reasons who ended up a victim of the plot more than the performance; it was a decent, almost Batman 66 style  performance in a movie that was trying to be too edgy. The two just didn’t quite go together.

rhys-ifans-the-lizard.jpgFour: Rhys Ifans as The Lizard (Amazing Spider-Man) Alright so the computer generated face wasn’t exactly as comic accurate as a lot of us would hope, and the sense of menace wasn’t exactly there, but Ifans’ Lizard isn’t bad… but it’s not great either.

dafoe goblin.PNGThree: Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin (Spider-Man) And here’s where the jump from the fourth spot to the third spot seems to be an image and a text break, but in reality it’s a lot larger. Willem Dafoe embodied everything you could ever want in a comic book movie villain, from his elastic facial expressions to the genuinely psychopathic gleam in his eyes. Whether he was Norman Osborne or the Green Goblin, Dafoe exuded a sense of menace that left viewers at the time feeling a genuine sense of unease. Shame about the costume, though.

vulture keaton.jpgTwo: Michael Keaton as the Vulture (Spider-Man: Homecoming)
If you haven’t seen this movie, then this won’t spoil anything. Keaton does the unthinable and makes the Vulture feel like a genuine, credible threat; he’s sinister when he needs to be, charming when he needs to be and has a screen dominating presence that will have you wanting so much more from Keaton and his Vulture. After only seeing this movie once, I was stunned that I was watching a performance as rich as I was, and I think there’s a genuine possibility that in a couple of years the Vulture will have stolen the top spot – as it is, he’s easily one of the best comic book movie villains, but he just wasn’t quite as good as….

molina doc ock.jpgOne: Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2)
For my money, this is not only the definitive portrayal of Doc Ock, but also one of the best antagonists in any superhero movie. Molina was able to make you care about Octavious, by giving a phenomenal performance as a sympathetic accidental villain that has yet to be equaled in any Spider-Man movie since.

raimi spiderman.jpgBonus: Sam Raimi as The Director (Spider-Man 3)
The only explanation I can think of for the massive drop off in quality from Spider-Man 2 to Spider-Man 3 is that Sam Raimi had cast himself in an absurdly meta role where,  at the behest of his evil employers, The Studio (also under the control of the symbiote, possibly?) he created the antithesis of his Spider-Man 2 masterpiece: a movie of such horrifically bad scenes that weren’t bad enough for the movie to become a cult classic Bad Movie, and instead they took a middling movie that had some bright spots down into the nether regions of the franchise. This was a well-played joke, right? Right…?

Underrated will return next week!

Where the Data Ranks 2017’s Comic Book Films. Wonder Woman Approaches $400 million.

Wonder Woman approaches $400 million, the best of the DC movie universe.

Atomic Blonde in its second weekend dropped to seventh place adding $8.2 million to its total. So far, the film has earned just shy of $46 million but in two weeks it has earned almost as much as Ghost in the Shell and Valerian domestically.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets continues to struggle standing at $65.6 million with a $177 million budget. The film will need a miracle from here on out.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is an interesting film when it comes to whether it’s a winner or loser. The film has earned $670.9 million worldwide but that’s dead last when it comes to Spider-Man films. It’s fourth when it comes to domestic (not adjusted for inflation). When we do adjust for inflation it’s fifth out of sixth.

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

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.

Dunkirk Holds at #1, Barely Holding Off Emojis

Posted on by

Dunkirk repeated in first place at the box office this past weekend bringing in an estimated $28.1 million at the domestic box office to bring its total to $102.8 million. At the foreign box office the film has earned $131.3 million to bring its total to $234.1 in just two weeks.

But… the film was barely in first place holding off The Emoji Movie which, despite overwhelmingly negative reviews, managed to come in second earning $25.7 million in its first week. With a budget of just $50 million, the film has a solid start and I’m sure we can expect a sequel down the road. Interestingly, the film played to a majority female audience 52% with 64% under the age of 25. So families and tweens?

Dropping to third was Girls Trip which added an impressive $20.1 million to its total to bring it to $65.5 million domestically and $67 million worldwide. With a budget of just $19 million, this one will absolutely get a sequel down the road.

In fourth place was another new film Atomic Blonde, the latest comic to be turned movie. That movie earned $18.6 million domestically and $6 million at the foreign box office. That might not seem like a great start but the film’s budget is just $30 million, so in its first week it has almost returned its entire budget. Still, there’s been a big push for the film and it failed to catch on with the female audience like Wonder Woman did, instead playing to 51% male. It was expected to bring in about $20 million.

Rounding out the top five was Spider-Man: Homecoming which added $13.5 million to its domestic total to bring it to $278.4 million and so far it has earned $633.8 million worldwide. The film will end up making about what all of the various Spider-Man films average.

When it comes to comic move adaptations….

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets earned $6.8 million to bring its domestic total to $30.6 million. With a budget of $177.2 million, the movie can only be called a flop.

Wonder Woman added $3.5 million to its domestic total to bring that to $395.4 million and $786 million worldwide.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 added $293,000 to its domestic total and now stands at $860.6 million with a DVD release just a few weeks away.

We’ll be back in an hour with even more info about this year’s comic movie adaptations!

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

Posted on by

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.

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 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: $1.533 billion
Total International Gross: $1.989 billion
Worldwide Gross: $3.522 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.085 million
Total “Profit”: $2.437 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $170.4 million
Average International Gross: $284.1 million
Average: Worldwide Gross: $391.4 million
Average Budget: $120.6 million
Average Profit: $270.8 million
