Toy Story 5 Dominates the Weekend Box Office while Disclosure Day Stumbles

Colorful poster for 'Toy Story 5' featuring main characters like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, with a playful tablet displaying 'Hi! Let's play!'

Toy Story 5 topped the weekend box office with an estimated $160 million domestically and $152 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $312 million. That’s the best opening of any movie this year so far and a best for the film franchise.

For an opening domestic weekend, the movie crushed the previous best which was Toy Story 4‘s $120.9 million which was released in 2019.

The film has gotten a very good response, beyond the box office numbers. It currently has a 94% positive review from critics and a 95% positive review from average folks. The good word of mouth should drive the film, especially as families look for something to do in the early summer. The competition is interesting as Supergirl opens this coming week and Minions & Monsters is on July 1. While there’s potential for both to make a dent in this film’s box office, the franchise is a beloved one and there’s the Disney/Pixar die-hards that should keep it successful for quite some time.

The success of the film shows there’s still a lot of life in these toys and it’s a franchise families have embraced. Will we see Toy Story 6?

Disclosure Day topped the Weekend Box Office and Beats Expectations

Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day beat expectations to top the weekend box office. It was predicted to gross $35 million domestically and around $65 million worldwide but the film beat both with $44 million domestically and $48.9 million internationally for $92.9 million worldwide in its first weekend. With a budget of around $115 million to product and $80 to market, the film still has a bit until it’s profitable but overall, it’s not a bad start for Steven Spielberg’s latest.

Obsession moved up to second place with an estimated $19 million domestically to bring its gross to $188.4 million. Over the week, it grossed $25.4 million internationally where it has now brought in $98.1 million for a worldwide total of $286.5 million.

Scary Movie was one of two major drops this week. The film was first last weekend, but dropped 73.3% to come in third with $14.5 million to lift its domestic gross to $84.6 million. Over the week, it added $38.1 million to its international total which is now $88.6 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $173.2 million which has it in fourth place for highest grossing in the franchise and it’ll easily move into third this week.

Backrooms slipped one spot to come in fourth with $11.3 million domestically where it has now grossed $160 million since its debut. Over the week, it added $10.8 million to its international gross to bring that to $88.4 million. Worldwide, the hit indie movie stands at $248.5 million.

Masters of the Universe was the other movie to tumble, dropping 70.6% from the previous week to round out the top five. The movie added $8.7 million to its domestic total which stands at $46.7 million. Internationally, it added $14.4 million to bring that to $39.4 million. Worldwide, that’s just $86.1 million after two weeks. With a budget between $160 and $200 million, before marketing, it’s hard to call this anything but a failure, no matter how hard Amazon-MGM attempts to spin it.

Scary Movie Tops the Weekend Box Office with Franchise Best as Masters of the Universe Doesn’t Have the Power

Scary Movie

Scary Movie won the weekend box office with a $55 million domestic gross. Internationally, the film came close to matching that with $50.5 million for a worldwide debut of $105.5 million.

The R-rated film delivered a franchise best domestically having debuted 26 years ago and 13 years since the last entry in the franchise. With a $12.7 million improvement from the series’ high, it’s debut, and almost $41 million improvement from its last release, this continuation/reboot/requel, has breathed new life into the franchise. It’s also the latest of film franchises to see new releases see a domestic boost after some time off.

The film has a 24% critic reception and only 69% from audiences, so there’s a good chance it’ll see a quick drop. The lack of “controversy” as well after a lot of hype of not being “woke” also makes you wonder if there was a rush to see what the film would make fun of which leads to a first weekend front load and quick drop off after.

It’ll be interesting to see how this new film does, but there’s a good chance it could outperform the original film a franchise best. And, if it does well, coupled with The Naked Gun reboot success, we might be seeing more of the franchise and more of this type of film.

Masters of the Universe came in second place with $29.3 million domestically and $25 million internationally for an anemic $54.3 million worldwide. No matter how the studio attempts to spin it, the film’s gross is rough with a budget reported to be between $160 and $200 million. Using the 2x the budget to determine financial success, the movie is unlikely to get there. But… this might be a film that does well in streaming and with so many tie-ins, it’s possible the film does “turn a profit” as a franchise.

Kevin Wilson, the domestic distribution chief with Amazon MGM called it a “solid start” and that the PostTrak polls had kids under 12 giving it a good rating with 96% “definite recommend.” In the same comment from Wilson, he hinted a “holistic distribution strategy” which builds awareness and engagement beyond the theatrical release. The film is currently at a 67% critic review and 88% from audiences. So, Amazon MGM is absolutely looking at the bigger picture, or at least has the infrastructure to say they are and try to put a positive spin on it all.

Backrooms dropped to third place after debuting in first last week adding $25.9 million to its total which is now $135.1 million. Internationally, it added $41.1 million over the week to bring that to $77.6 million and $212.7 million worldwide. The movie also saw an addition of 123 theaters from the previous week showing a demand from audiences and faith from movie theaters in it.

Obsession came in fourth after being in second place last week adding $25.6 million domestically to bring that gross to $152.1 million. The international gross had a massive boost, over double the week. It gained $50.7 million to bring its international total to $72.7 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $224.8 million.

The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act debuted in fifth place with $11.6 million over the weekend for a total gross of $19.5 million domestically and no international gross.

Backrooms dominates the weekend box office as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu tumbles

Backrooms

Indie horror seems to be in demand as Backrooms crushed the weekend box office. Kane Parsons’ directorial debut came in first place with a reported $81.5 million domestically. The film also grossed $36.5 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $118 million. With Parsons’ success as well as other “Youtube to big screen” success stories this year, expect to see a shift as online popularity and success is transferring over to big screen success. With studios more risk adverse and wanting surefire hits, this is an easy pipeline to tap for short term gains.

Obsession, another horror film, held on to second place with $26.4 million to bring its domestic gross to $104.8 million. It about doubled its international gross adding about $22 million to that total over the week to bring it to $43.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $148 million.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu tumbled in its second week dropping 69.4% (not odd for a blockbuster like this) to gross $25 million and bring its domestic gross to $137.4 million. That’s a bigger drop than Solo: A Star Wars Story which saw a 65.2% decline. Internationally, the movie grossed about $46.2 million over the week to bring that to $109.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $246.6 million after two weeks.

Michael came in fourth place with $11.7 million to bring its domestic gross to $339.9 million. Over the week, it grossed $38.3 million internationally where the total is now $506.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $846.3 million.

The Breadwinner debuted in fifth place with $7.5 million domestically and no international return. While Nate Bargatze might be “hot” according to.. we’re not quite sure, the box office is saying otherwise.

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe added about $50,000 domestically which is now $1.1 million and has grossed about $50,000 over the week internationally which is now $17.3 million for $18.4 million worldwide.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu wins the Holiday Weekend Box Office

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

It should be no surprise, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu took the weekend box office with an estimated $81.96 million. It is expected to gross $102 million for the holiday weekend. Internationally, the movie grossed $63 million for a worldwide gross of $165 million. While that might not sound great, the film had a rather tight budget of around $165 million. Usually, films need to double their budget to be profitable, so if the film can get over $330 million it should be doing well. If it crossed $400 million or more, it’s a good return and this doesn’t count all of the tie-in money flowing in for the film. That gross is a bit under Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s $84.4 million opening in 2018, also the holiday weekend. It went on to gross $392.9 million worldwide.

Obsession moved up to second place from third with $22.4 million, a 30.3% increase. It has grossed domestically $58.6 million so far. It grossed around $16.2 million internationally over the week and now that stands at $21.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $79.8 million.

Michael dipped to third place with $20 million. Domestically, it has grossed $319.9 million after about a month. Internationally, the movie added $47 million over the week and that’s now $468.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $788 million, so now it’s wait and see if the film can slide across the billion mark.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 came in fourth place after being in second last week. It added $12.6 million to its domestic gross which is now $200 million. Over the week, it grossed $37.7 million at the international box office which is now $408 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $608 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Sheep Detective which added just under $9 million to its domestic total which is now $46.9 million. Over the week, it grossed $9.7 million to bring that total to $38.7 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $85.6 million.

In comic related movies…
