Moana leads the Weekend Box Office facing Choppy Waters

Posted on by
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.

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

Minions & Monsters

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.
