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 and dive into the numbers… not opinions.

Thor: Ragnarok opened in 36 international markets with $107.6 million. That opening is 4% above Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and 22% above Doctor Strange. The film opens in North American theaters this coming week as well as Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, Austria, and more (almost 100% of the global marketplace).

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is still bringing in money adding about $200,000 to its domestic total. The foreign box office was adjusted down over the week by $1 million. The film still leads this year’s comic adaptations with two more looking to dethrone it.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle added $33 million over the week worldwide. The film is still behind the original and can be considered a mediocre success. The film is now beating this year’s comic adaptation’s “profit” average.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget. It added a little over $33,000 to its total over the weekend. The film is just $74,000 behind the 2002 Spider-Man when it comes to worldwide gross. It currently sits at #12 at the all time comic adaptation list with a chance to move to #11.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market and it’ll be interesting to see how the new Thor and Justice League impact these totals.

Already, the year is an interesting one with three clear successes and a whole lot of mixed otherwise. Wonder Woman, Logan, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have done well this year. Kingsman: The Golden Circle, 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: $1.815 billion
Total International Gross: $2.748 billion
Worldwide Gross: $4.563 billion
Total Reported Budgets: $1.187 million
Total “Profit”: $3.373 billion

Average Domestic Gross: $151.3 million

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 and dive into the numbers… not opinions. We’re in the holding pattern until the next two big “comic” films, Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League debut. But, this year’s releases are still bringing in the dollars.

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of the two big comic stories of the year. The film is the top grossing comic adaptation of the year so far and gained about $400,000 over the past week. It sits at about $11 behind Spider-Man 3 and is #8 when it comes to top grossing comic adaptations of all time (not adjusted for inflation).

Kingsman: The Golden Circle added $3 million to its total to come in at #10 and bringing its domestic total to $94.6 million and $344.8 million worldwide. The film opened in China with $40.3 million an improvement over the original film. The first film brought in about $75 million from the market overall. The sequel lags the first film by about $70 million worldwide but doesn’t open in Japan until January 5. The first film brought in $7.5 million there. The film is now in the “green” when it comes to its international gross compared to this year’s current average though lags the domestic average.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget. It added a little over $162,000 to its total over the weekend. The film is just $107,000 behind the 2002 Spider-Man when it comes to worldwide gross. It currently sits at #12 at the all time comic adaptation list with a chance to move to #11.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is pretty done with a at home video release coming in a few weeks. The film sits at a little over $225 million for its total.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.8 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million.

We missed this last week, but Spider-Man: Homecoming is one of the two big comic stories of the year. A late boost has seen the film surge in the rankings and the film is the top worldwide grossing comic adaptation of the year so far. The film has also passed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the numbers as of now are very similar domestically and internationally. The film now ranks as #8 in the all time grossing comic adaptations and is $11.6 million behind Spider-Man 3.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is still only a few weeks into its run and running behind the first film’s domestic run by about $40 million at the same point. It also has a higher budget by about $23 million. It’s unlikely the film will match its predecessor’s success.

Wonder Woman continues to add to its total as it winds down its run. The film has the highest domestic gross of the year and second highest gross/budget.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is slowing down and crossed the $225 million mark. The film is not a success, but it earned more than its budget fueled by the international box office.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.7 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million. Internationally, Marvel rules with $476.9 million and DC lags behind with $437.4 million. There’s still work for DC when it comes to the international film market.

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.

This past week has been pretty quiet when it comes to comic adaptations. The latest film to debut, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, has been mixed as it’s running behind the previous film’s domestic run and ahead of its foreign run. So… a wash? It also keeps up the trend of the foreign box office saving this year’s movie industry.

Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to get a late boost and is the top grossing comic adaptation of the year passing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and then some. The film has crossed $700 million when it comes to its budget and worldwide earnings and has a 5x multiplier. The big question is if it’ll cross $900 million at the box office.

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. It has a 5.51x multiplier of its budget and earnings.

Atomic Blonde will fall short of $100 million and will be a moderate success.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is slowing down and will likely end around $225 million as long as there’s no more debuts.

Lets compare how the big two comic companies compare for earnings. On average DC films earn $339.7 million domestically while Marvel earns $308.3 million.

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.
