Mercy

Mercy was the top of the weekend box office knocking Avatar: Fire and Ash from the position which it held since it opened. Mercy grossed $11.1 million domestically and no international returns have been reported. While first place might seem good, the film had a reported budget of $60 million. Overall, first place is good, but that amount is rough and it’ll be a tough run to be profitable. Around the same time last year Flight Risk topped the box office with $12 million, so it’s not exactly a great weekend historically.

Avatar: Fire and Ash came in second place with an estimated $7 million to bring its domestic gross to $378.5 million. Over the week, it grossed $44.9 million internationally to bring that to just above $1.000 billion. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $1.379 billion. It’s far short where the previous two films wound up and unlikely to reach the original’s $2.924 billion and sequel’s $2.334 billion. We might finally know the answer to “when does a film gross a billion dollars and be considered a failure?”

Zootopia 2 remained in third place with $5.7 million domestically which has now totaled $401.4 million. Internationally, it grossed $29.6 million over the week to bring that to $1.343 billion, guaranteeing we’ll see a third film.

The Housemaid held on to fourth place with $4.2 million to bring its domestic gross to $115.5 million. Over the week, it grossed $33.8 million internationally where it has now grossed $102.4 million. The worldwide total is $217.9 million.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple cropped to fifth place after debuting in second place last weekend. It saw a 71.2% drop grossing $3.6 million to bring that to $20.8 million. Internationally, it grossed $9.2 million over the week to bring that to $25.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $46.1 million.

In sort of comic related, Return to Silent Hill opened with $3.3 million domestically. If a movie isn’t promoted, does it make any money?

In other comic related movies…

All You Need Is Kill which grossed around $100,000 domestically over the week and now$652,684 total. There’s no international gross.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution remained at $16.6 million domestically. Internationally, it also remained at $24.9 million for a worldwide gross of just over $41.5 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle has grossed $134.5 million domestically. Internationally, the movie added about $200,000 and is at $588.1 million. Its worldwide gross is $722.6 million.

Numbers have 71 movies grossing $54,792,025 from 40,521 theaters for an average of $1,352.19. That compared to last week’s 66 movies grossing $85,674,336 from 43,575 theaters for an average of $1,966.14.

Avatar: Fire and Ash tops the weekend box office as four debuts take the top four spots

It was a weekend of debuts topping the box office with Avatar: Fire and Ash by far the top film with nearly four times the second place movie. Avatar: Fire and Ash debuted with an estimated $88 million which is a fraction of the $257 million it has earned internationally for a worldwide opening of $345 million.

The first Avatar opened in 2009 with $77 million and went on to gross $785.2 million domestically and $2.924 billion worldwide. The second film in 2022 opened with $134.1 million to end with $688.5 million domestically and $2.343 billion worldwide.

It’s hard to judge this third film as it’s a bit above the first not adjusted for inflation but far below the second film. SO, the final worldwide gross will be the real way to judge it and will be interesting to see how it might impact the two films that are scheduled to be released.

David opened in second place with $22 million domestically, not too surprising as it’ll play to the holiday season.

The Housemaid came in third place with just under $19 million domestically.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants opened in fourth place with $16 million domestically and $957 internationally. The answer is Colombia if you’re wondering what country.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie opened in 2004 with $32 million domestically and went on to gross $85.4 million domestically and $141.1 million worldwide. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water opened in 2015 with $55.4 million domestically and went on to gross $163 million domestically and $325.2 million worldwide. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run opened with $865,824 domestically in 2020 and grossed $4.8 million. So, overall, this latest film is a bit of a disappointment for the franchise.

Rounding out the top five was Zootopia 2 with $14.5 million to bring its domestic gross to $282.8 million. Over the week, it grossed $112.3 million to bring that to $990 million. The film has grossed $1.273 billion worldwide, passing the first film which grossed $1.044 billion in 2016.

In other comic related movies…

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution grossed $274,020 domestically to bring that total to $15.9 million. Internationally, remained at $34.4 million for a worldwide gross of $50.3 million.
