The Odyssey

Everything old is new again as The Odyssey topped the weekend box office with an impressive $124.5 million domestically. Internationally, the movie grossed $139.6 million giving it $264.1 million worldwide in its first weekend. The film’s success is another win for Christopher Nolan and the film is driving viewers into premium screenings showing that if you create “event viewing,” audiences will show up. It’s going so well that IMAX is extending its screenings for another week. It is reported that half of the moviegoers were aged 18 to 34, showing the film has found success across ages and generations.

In second place was Moana, which is hard to call anything but a flop. The movie added $19 million domestically, a 56% drop from the previous week bringing that total to just $82.1 million. Internationally, it grossed $44.4 million over the week to bring that total to $96.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $178.5 million. With a reported production budget of $250 million, it’s hard to see it making a profit unless it’s tie-ins bring it across the goal line.

Minions & Monsters slipped to third place with a possible tie with Toy Story 5. Minions & Monsters and Toy Story 5 both grossed an estimated $14.8 million, so we’ll see what the end numbers wind up being.

Minions & Monsters domestically has now grossed $137.6 million. Over the week, it grossed $48.5 million internationally which is now $220.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $357.9 million.

Toy Story 5 has grossed $430.9 million domestically and over the week it added $52.2 million internationally which is now $527.5 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $958.4 million and sure to cross the billion dollar mark before its run is over.

Evil Dead Burn rounded out the top five with $5 million domestically to bring its total to $24.2 million. It’s international total is $27.2 million for a worldwide total of $51.4 million.

Moana leads the Weekend Box Office facing Choppy Waters

Moana

Moana wasn’t likely the opening hit Disney was looking for. The latest animated film turned live-action remake opened with $43 million domestically. That’s far below the projected $75 million the movie was believed it’d open with. Other projections had $45 million to $55 million which is also didn’t achieve. Internationally, the movie grossed $52 million delivering a worldwide debut of $95 million. The belief is the film’s live-action adaptation was too soon. While other films had 20-plus years since their animated debuts, the original Moana opened just a decade ago. Those who originally enjoyed it are likely teenagers now, and not the parents with their own families like other remakes. Add in poor reviews and it all comes together for a film many will likely wait to watch on streaming.

Minions & Monsters slipped to second place with $20.5 million domestically, a 44.6% drop from the previous week. The movie has grossed $108.3 million domestically after two weeks. Internationally, the movie added $73.4 million over the week to bring that to $171.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $280 million.

Toy Story 5 slipped to third place with $18.5 million to bring its domestic gross to $403.8 million. Internationally, it added $77.3 million over the week to bring that to $475.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $879.1 million giving it a good chance to cross the billion dollar mark before it’s time in theaters is over.

Evil Dead Burn opened in fourth place with $13.7 million domestically and $27 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $40.7 million.

Young Washington rounded out the top five with $6.4 million domestically where it has grossed $33.1 million. There’s no international gross.
