The Odyssey Dominates the Weekend Box Office

Posted on July 20, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

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.

In comic related movies…

Supergirl came in ninth place. It grossed an estimated $1.5 domestically which is now a little under $70 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $1.5 million over a week to bring that up to $50.9 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $120.6 million after two weeks.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $120,000 over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $177.5 million. Internationally, the movie remained at $163.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $340.6 million after five weeks. The film will wind up slightly short of Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity has grossed $4.3 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $731,877 which makes $5 million worldwide.

Masters of the Universe grossed $300,000 domestically which is now $64.6 million and has also grossed $48.7 million internationally for $113.4 million worldwide.

Numbers have 30 movies grossing $193,050,832 from 28,962 theaters for an average of $6,665.66. That is compared to last week’s 62 movies grossing $127,920,333 from 31,743 theaters for an average of $4,029.88.

Moana leads the Weekend Box Office facing Choppy Waters

Posted on July 13, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

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.

In comic related movies…

Supergirl came in eighth place. It grossed an estimated $3.6 domestically which is now a little above $66 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $7.4 million over a week to bring that up to $49.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $115.4 million after two weeks.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $257,000 over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $177.4 million. Internationally, the movie gained about $10.9 million to bring that to $163.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $340.5 million after five weeks. The film will wind up slightly short of Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity has grossed $4.3 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $666,183 which makes $4.9 million worldwide.

Masters of the Universe grossed $1.1 million domestically which is now $64.3 million and has also grossed $48.3 million internationally for $112.6 million worldwide.

Numbers have 62 movies grossing $127,920,333 from 31,743 theaters for an average of $4,029.88. That is compared to last week’s 61 movies grossing $156,243,872 from 33,042 theaters for an average of $4,728.65.

Minions & Monsters takes the Weekend Box Office as Supergirl sees a Sharp Drop

Posted on July 6, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

Minions & Monsters was the top of the weekend box office, grossing $36.4 million domestically. The film opened earlier in the week and so far has grossed an estimated $61.4 million in its first half week. Internationally, the movie has grossed $98.4 million for a worldwide total of $159.9 million.

Minions debuted in 2015, spinning out of Despicable Me, and opened with $115.7 million domestically and went on to gross $1.159 billion. Minions: The Rise of Gru was released in 2022 with a $107 million domestic opening and grossing $940.4 million worldwide.

This film’s opening is a sharp drop from both of those and there could be multiple factors to the poor opening. The holiday weekend was the 250th birthday of the US making it an extra special July 4th that might have had families more focused on the holiday, it could be economic issues, or it could be the property having just lost interest. It could also be a combo of all of that.

Toy Story 5 dropped to second place with $31 million lifting its domestic gross to $366.3 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $110.2 million over the week to bring that total to $398 million. Worldwide, the gross is $764.3 million.

Young Washington debuted with $20.8 million domestically and no international return.

Supergirl dropped to fourth place from second the previous week. It grossed an estimated $9.6 million which was a 74.1% drop from the previous week. Blockbusters tend to have large drops but they tend to be 60% to 65% with 70% being the higher end of things, so 74.1% is extreme for this type of film. Domestically, the movie has grossed $58.5 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $12 million over a week to bring that up to $42 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $100.5 million after two weeks.

Disclosure Day remained in fifth place with $6 million to bring its domestic gross to $105.3 million. Over the week, it grossed $10.9 million internationally which is now $111.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $216.6 million.

In comic related movies…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $600,000 over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $176.8 million. Internationally, the movie gained about $2.2 million to bring that to $152.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $329 million after five weeks. The film will wind up slight short of Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity added $177,073 to its domestic gross which is $4.3 million. Internationally, the movie has grossed $555,707 which makes $4.8 million worldwide.

Masters of the Universe grossed $1.3 million domestically which is now $63.2 million and has also grossed $47.4 million internationally for $110.5 million worldwide.

Numbers have 56 movies grossing $117,685,327 from 30,197 theaters for an average of $3,897.25. That is compared to last week’s 61 movies grossing $156,243,872 from 33,042 theaters for an average of $4,728.65.

Toy Story 5 Holds on to First while Supergirl Struggles to Take Flight

Posted on June 29, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

Toy Story 5 held on to first at the weekend box office with an estimated $70 million, a 56.20% drop from the previous weekend. That percentage drop is pretty solid as blockbusters can often see drops well over 60%. Domestically, the film has grossed $297.2 million. Internationally, the movie added $137.8 million over the week to bring that to $287.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $585 million after two weeks.

Supergirl had a rough debut with $38 million domestically and $30 million internationally for $68 million worldwide. The movie had estimates believing it’d open around $50 million domestically. It’s a rough second outing for the new DC Studios whose debut reboot film Superman opened with $125 million in 2025. Supergirl’s domestic opening is even below the much maligned comic based film Morbius which grossed $39 million in 2022.

The movie has taken a beating from rightwing clickbait reactionaries online which began well before the film’s debut. DC Studios likely knew there might be issues as it held early screenings for general audiences in hopes it’d build word of mouth. The film has a 55% critic review and 76% from audiences on Rottentomatoes so it’s not one audiences are overwhelmingly behind that potentially gives it legs. It’s hard to say what will happen to the film and if it’ll cause an adjustment to DC Studios’ plans or if it might cause potential new owners Paramount Skydance to rethink the strategy and leadership. Most likely, the film will be rushed through theaters and moved to streaming in an accelerated time frame. As a whole, there may be some shine that has rubbed off of comic based films, or blockbusters in general, with the “must see” attitude finally ending. With a new Spider-Man film and Avengers still coming, we’ll see how they fare to really determine if the gravy train has ended.

In third place was Obsession which added $9.8 million to its domestic gross which is $233.9 million. Internationally, it grossed $18.8 million over the week and stands at $136.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $370.1 million.

Jackass: Best and Last debuted in fourth place with $8.4 domestically and $1.9 internationally for $10.3 million worldwide. That’s rough for the property which last saw a film released in 2022. The first movie debuted in 2002 with $22.8 million which was the lowest domestic debut for the franchise. Based on that opening, this will likely really be the last for the franchise.

Disclosure Day rounded out the top five dropping from second place last week. The movie grossed $8.1 million to bring its domestic gross to $94.4 million. Internationally, it grossed $6 million and overall it has grossed $99.3 million there after two weeks. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $193.7 million.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity opened in eighth with $3 million domestically and no international gross reported.

In comic related movies…

Masters of the Universe grossed $2.2 million domestically where it now stands at $61.9 million domestically and has also grossed $47.4 million internationally for $109.3 million worldwide.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $1.6 million over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $175.3 million. Internationally, the movie remained at $150 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $325.3 million after five weeks. The film will wind up slight short of Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Numbers have 61 movies grossing $156,243,872 from 33,042 theaters for an average of $4,728.65. That is compared to last week’s 59 movies grossing $231,676,415 from 31,200 theaters for an average of $7,425.53.

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

Posted on June 22, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

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?

	Opening Domestic	Total Domestic	Worldwide
Toy Story (1995)	$29,140,617	$229,947,062	$401,157,969

Toy Story 4 (2019)	$120,908,065	$434,038,008	$1,073,841,394

Disclosure Day came in second place $17 million domestically, a 61.8% drop for the film. Domestically, it has grossed $78.3 million after two weeks. The film has struggled with mixed reviews, 71% from audiences and 80% from critics as of this article, a rare bump from Steven Spielberg. Over the week, it grossed $33.3 million internationally to bring that to $82.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $160.4 million.

Disclosure Day topped the Weekend Box Office and Beats Expectations

Posted on June 15, 2026 by Brett

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.

In comic related movies…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu held steady in sixth place this weekend. The movie grossed an estimated $4.7 million over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $165.1 million. Internationally, the movie grossed about $12.2 million over the week to bring that to $150 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $315.1million after four weeks. The film will wind up around where Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe remained at $1.2 million domestically and the international gross remained at $17.3 million for $18.4 million worldwide.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea remained at $1.4 million domestically and internationally it grossed $1.5 million to lift its total to $5.9 million internationally. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $7.4 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle is at $137 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $606.3 million. Its worldwide gross is $743.3 million.

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

Posted on June 8, 2026 by Brett

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.

	Domestic Opening	Domestic Total	Worldwide
Scary Movie (2000)	$42,346,669	$157,019,771	$278,023,280
Scary Movie 2 (2001)	$20,503,356	$71,308,997	$141,220,678
Scary Movie 3 (2003)	$49,700,000	$110,003,217	$220,673,217
Scary Movie 4 (2006)	$40,222,875	$90,710,620	$178,262,620
Scary Movie 5 (2013)	$14,157,367	$32,015,787	$78,378,744

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.

In comic related movies…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu already dropped from the top five coming in sixth place this weekend. The movie grossed an estimated $10 million over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $155.8 million. Internationally, the movie grossed about $28.6 million over the week to bring that to $137.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $293.6 million after three weeks.

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe added about $60,000 domestically which is now $1.2 million and the international gross remained at $17.3 million for $18.4 million worldwide.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle is at $137 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $606.3 million. Its worldwide gross is $743.3 million.

All You Need Is Kill remained at $695,290 domestically and internationally gained a little and is at $46,328 for a worldwide gross of $741,618.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution remained at $16.6 million domestically. Internationally, it also sits at $27.9 million for a worldwide gross of $44.5 million.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc remained at $43.4 million domestically. Internationally, the movie added a little and has grossed $119.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $162.7 million.

Numbers have 51 movies grossing $182,170,514 from 35,524 theaters for an average of $5,128. That is compared to last week’s 62 movies grossing $181,609,355 from 34,358 theaters for an average of $5,285.80.

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

Posted on June 1, 2026 by Brett

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.

In comic related movies…

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.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle is at $137 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $605.7 million. Its worldwide gross is $742.6 million.

All You Need Is Kill remained at $695,290 domestically and internationally gained a little and is at $46,328 for a worldwide gross of $741,618.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution remained at $16.6 million domestically. Internationally, it also sits at $27.9 million for a worldwide gross of $44.5 million.

Numbers have 62 movies grossing $181,609,355 from 34,358 theaters for an average of $5,285.80. That is compared to last week’s 57 movies grossing $177,516,733 from 33,832 theaters for an average of $5,247.01.
