Square Enix is Launching a U.S. Publishing Line for Comics, Books, and Art Books

Square Enix

This fall, the worlds of Square Enix are coming to comics, books, and art books. The video game publisher has announced a deal with Penguin Random House Publisher Services. They’ll bring iconic game properties like Space Invaders, Final Fantasy, and Tomb Raider to the American market under their own banner for the first time. Currently, some of these properties have comics and manga released from other publishers.

In Japan, Square Enix is more than a video company. They also release books, magazines, and manga, so it’s not a stretch for them to bring their material to the U.S. themselves.

The new line will launch this fall with one prose book, Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future, and three manga: Hi Score Girl, A Man and His Cat, and the complete edition of Soul Eaters.

Pacific Rim: Uprising Beats Black Panther but Black Panther Beats The Avengers

Posted on by

Pacific Rim: Uprising won the weekend knocking Black Panther from the top of the box office. The film earned an estimated $28 million which beat the estimates. It’s far short of the original’s $37.3 million and that film went on to earn $101.8 million domestically and $411 worldwide. Uprising has earned $122.5 million at the foreign box office for a total of $150.5 million. The film did quite well in China where it earned $65 million which was around $20 million more than the original. The film has a budget of $150 million.

After five weeks at the top of the box office, Black Panther dropped to second earning an estimated $16.7 million domestically. Domestically, the film has earned $630.9 million. It’s now the highest earning comic adaptation domestically beating The Avengers which earned $623.3 million. It’s the fifth largest domestic release of all-time and will likely climb higher.

Internationally, Black Panther added an estimated $12.9 million to bring its international total to $606.4 million to bring its worldwide total to $1.237 billion. It’s now the twelfth highest worldwide release of all time passing The Fate of the Furious and it will likely pass last year’s Beauty and the Beast. It’s now the third highest grossing comic adaptation passing Iron Man 3.

In third place was I Can Only Imagine which brought in an estimated $13.8 million domestically to bring its total to $38.3 million. That’s a solid return on its $7 million budget.

In fourth place was another new film, Sherlock Gnomes which brought in an estimated $10.6 million domestically from a budget of $59 million. It also earned $4.6 million at the foreign box office for a total of $15.2 million. That total is a disappointment compared to the original Gnomeo and Juliet which earned $25.3 million in its debut in 2011.

Rounding out the top five was Tomb Raider which added $10.4 million domestically and pushing its domestic total to $41 million after ten days. Internationally it added $34.1 million from 66 markets for an international total of $170 million and $211.7 million worldwide.

In other comic film news…

The Death of Stalin expanded into 140 theaters (up 108 from last week) and earned $1.1 million to bring its domestic total to $2.1 million.

Also debuting was I Kill Giants but that was mostly digitally and a very limited theater release. We’ll have updates if available.

We’ll back in an hour for a deeper dive into comic adaptations at the theater.

Black Panther Wins the Weekend for the Fifth Time in a Row

Posted on by

Black Panther again won the weekend making it five in a row. It’s the first film to do that since Avatar in 2009. It also crossed $600 million domestically, the seventh film to do so. With an estimated $27 million, the film now stands at $605.4 million domestically. The film is $18 million shy of passing Marvel’s The Avengers at the domestic box office at which point it’ll be the highest grossing superhero movie of all-time. The film still has a bit to go to gain that title for worldwide totals. There it’s $400 million shy.

Internationally, Black Panther earned $30 million which pushes its foreign box office to $577.1 million. Worldwide the film has earned $1.183 billion.

In second place was Tomb Raider which brought in an estimated $23.5 million domestically. Overseas, the film is now in 65 territories and earned $84.5 million bringing its foreign box office total to $102.5 million. Its grand total is $126 million off of a $94 million budget. The previous two Tomb Raider films earned $274.7 million and $156.5 million with similar budgets.

In third place was another new film, I Can Only Imagine. The “faith-based” film earned an estimated $17.1 million off of a $7 million budget. That was earned off of 1,629 locations with an impressive $10,476 per theater average.

A Wrinkle in Time dropped to fourth from last week’s second place. It added an estimated $16.6 million to its domestic total to bring that to $61.1 million domestically. Worldwide the film has earned $71.7 million.

Wrapping up the top five was Love, Simon which earned an estimated $11.5 million off of a $17 million budget.

In other comic related films…

The Death of Stalin expanded into 32 theaters bringing in an estimated $580,576 to bring its total to $843,967. Per theater the film earned $18,143 a weekend best.

This coming weekend sees the opening of Pacific Rim: Uprising which we’ll see if it can defeat Kaiju as well as Black Panther.
