Wicked: For Good

That improves upon the first film which grossed $112 million domestically its opening weekend and then went on to gross just under $475 million domestically and $758.7 million worldwide. Will the sequel cross the billion dollar mark? It’s possible the film could be frontloaded with fans who saw the first and want to see the second half which could result in a tumble. But, with the holiday weekend coming it should do well though faces a challenge with Zootopia 2 opening this week.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t dipped to second place with an estimated $9.1 million, a 56.6% drop from the opening weekend. It has now grossed $36.8 million domestically in two weeks.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Wins the Weekend Box Office with a Series Low

Posted on by
Now You See Me: Now You Don't

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t took the top spot at the weekend box office, but did it with the lowest debut of the trilogy of films. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t opened with an estimated $21.3 million domestically and $54.2 million internationally for a worldwide opening of $75.5 million. That domestic opening is the lowest for the series.
Now You See Me opened in 2013 with $29.4 million and went on to gross $117.7 million domestically and $351.7 million worldwide. Now You See Me 2 in 2016 debuted with $22.4 million at the domestic box office and went on to gross $65.1 million domestically, $269.8 million internationally, and $334.9 million worldwide. With this film’s third film being a bit under the second film’s debut, there’s a good chance it’ll have a similar run though likely to fall short of that worldwide with some tough competition coming in the next few weeks.

The Running Man debuted in second place with $17 million domestically and $11.2 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $28.2 million. It’s hard to compare this one to 1987’s original which debuted with $8.1 million domestically and went on to gross $38.1 million domestically with no international gross reported, but this can’t be considered good. But, let’s be honest, Stephen King adaptations have a very shaky history at the box office.

Predator: Badlands dropped 67.5% to come in third place in its second week after debuting in first. The movie grossed $13 million to bring its domestic total to $66.3 million. Internationally, it grossed $30 million over the week to bring that to $70 million for a worldwide gross of $136.3 million.

Regretting You slipped to fourth place from second with $4 million domestically where it has now grossed just under $45 million. Internationally, it grossed $18.4 million over the week to bring that to $37.5 million for a worldwide total of $82.5 million.

In other comic related movies…

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc dropped to ninth place. It added $1.6 million to its domestic total which is now $41.2 million. Over the week, it grossed $7.1 million internationally and now stands at $127.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $168.3 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle grossed $186,000 domestically over the weekend and now its total is at $133.9 million. Internationally, the movie has grossed $596.1 million. Its worldwide gross is just under $730 million.

Initial numbers has 66 movies grossing $73,872,102 from 37,074 theaters for an average of $1,992.56. That compared to last week’s 67 movies grossing $81,327,290 from 37,309 theaters for an average of $2,179.83.

Posted on by
Predator: Badlands

Predator: Badlands was top of the box office in its debut weekend with an estimated $40 million domestically. It earned the same amount internationally for a worldwide debut of $80 million. It’s a petty solid opening for the nearly 40 year old franchise.

  • Predator (1987) – $12 million domestic opening, $59.7 million domestic, $98.3 million worldwide
  • Predator 2 (1990) – $8.8 million domestic opening, $30.7 million domestic, $57.1 million worldwide

  • The Predator (2018) – $24.6 million domestic opening, $51 million domestic, $160.5 million worldwide

Now, the question is how much the film has as far as legs to see if it can top previous worldwide grosses.

Regretting You held on to second place with $7.1 million domestically to lift that total to $38.6 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $19.1 million of the week to bring that to $32.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed just under $71 million.

Tron: Ares Slumps as the Leto Curse Continues

Posted on by
Tron: Ares

Tron: Ares won the weekend box office in what can only be described as a disappointment. The film opened in 4,000 theaters but grossed just $33.5 million. In 2010, Tron: Legacy opened with a little over $44 million with 3,451 theaters. Internationally, the film did even worse bringing in $27 million for a worldwide debut of $60.5 million. While Tron has always been a bit niche in audience, this performance has to wind up killing the property for a while.

The opening also continues a string of slumps for Jared Leto and is worse that 2022’s Morbius which opened with a little over $39 million. The folks behind Masters of the Universe should be shitting bricks now as Leto is playing Skeletor in the film which is in post-production.

Leto has had a string of misses:

  • Haunted Mansion – 2023 – $24.1 million debut, $117.4 million worldwide – Budget $150 million
  • Morbius – 2022 – $39 million debut, $167.5 million worldwide – Budget $75 million
  • House of Gucci – 2021 – $14.4 million debut, $153.3 million worldwide – Budget $75 million
  • Zack Snyder’s Justice League – 2017 – $93.8 million debut – $661.3 million worldwide – Budget $300 million
  • The Little Things – 2021 – $4.7 million debut – $30.8 million worldwide – Budget $30 million
  • Blade Runner 2049 – 2017 – $32.8 million debut, $277.9 million worldwide – Budget $150/$185 million
  • Suicide Squad – 2016 – $133.7 million debut, $749.2 million worldwide – Budget $175 million
  • Dallas Buyers Club – 2013 – $260,865 debut – $55.2 million worldwide – Budget $5 million

Beyond some high profile films where he was not the main draw, Leto has a spotty box office at best and if anything, seems to sink the movie’s gross. The profitability of the films just doesn’t seem to be there.

Roofman opened in second place with an estimated $8 million domestically and no international return.

One Battle After Another slipped to third place grossing $6.7 million to bring its domestic total to $54.5 million. Internationally, the film has grossed $83.5 million with a worldwide gross of $138 million.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has grossed $274.2 million domestically. Internationally, it has grossed $247.6 million. Worldwide, the movie is at $521.8 million.

On the edge of comic related films, The Toxic Avenger is at $2.9 million domestically, $462,155 internationally for $3.3 million worldwide.

The film grossed an estimated $22.4 million domestically and $26.1 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $48.5 million. With a 96% critic rating and 85% average viewers, the film might do pretty well from word of mouth.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie came in second with $13.7 million domestically and $5.7 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $19.4 million. That domestic debut was more towards the lower end of projections but it’s a family and it could have a nice long run due to that.

Him Fumbles but Wins the Weekend Box Office

Posted on by
Him

Update: The adjusted box office was quite different from the initial report:

  3. The Conjuring: Last Rites – $12.3 million
  4. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale – $6.4 million
  5. The Long Walk – $6.2 million

Him opened up this past weekend taking the top of the box office, but also debuting with one of the worst openings of the year to top the box office. The film grossed an estimated $13.5 million. That’s the third lowest top of the box office this year, Novocaine holds that title with just $8.8 million. Flight Risk was second with $11.6 million. Internationally, the film grossed just $362,000 but that’s not shocking, it’s a football film which is very much an American sport still (though making pushes abroad). Worldwide, the movie grossed $13.9 million. The film’s budget is just $27 million, so it’s not a complete disaster yet but with brutal reviews from critics and a poor reception from the audience, this is one that might have to rely on its post box office to determine success.

The Conjuring: Last Rites held on to second place with just under $13 million to bring its domestic gross to $151.2 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $151 million over the week to bring that to $248.8 million for a worldwide gross of just under $400 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle slipped to third place with $11.9 million to bring its domestic gross to $99.3 million. Over the week, it grossed $167.3 million to bring its international gross to $450.3 million for a worldwide gross of $555 million.

In other comic related movies…

The Fantastic Four: First Steps grossed an estimated $582,000 to bring its domestic total to $273.5 million. Over the week, it grossed $1.7 million to bring its international total to $246.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $519.9 million.
