Star Trek Beyond has been called a flop by some industry naysayers. However, on a weekend where 5 films are tracking above 20M, I’d say a 56M opening is still pretty solid. It’s not amazing but it’s OK. I’d be … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Lights’ Explode, ‘Ice Age’ Crashes
Depending on how you feel about 46M for Ghostbusters, it either did just fine, or it disappointed. It definitely didn’t overperform. The big question seems to be “will we see a Ghostbusters 2”, and that question will be answered once … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Ghostbusters’ in Second
Kids films usually don’t experience harsh drops week-to-week. Finding Dory’s 50% dip was a bit of an anomaly last week. Pets, at its harshest drop, won’t go lower than 55M. It likely will make higher, but this is really the … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Ghostbusters’ Won’t Bust ‘Pets’
Australia– Just saw the opening of Finding Dory, Central Intelligence, and The BFG. Nothing really surprising here. Only one of the top 10 is a local film, everything else is American. Finding Dory has already outgrossed Zootopia there, and is … Continue reading The Crazy World Of International Box Office
Illumination’s The Secret Life Of Pets opens this weekend, and is definitely hitting #1. It’s the film that’s been heavily promoted for a year, causing buzz to transform this film into a tentpole for the studio. If Dory wasn’t alive … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Pets’ Put An End To ‘Dory’ At The Top
Well, it looks like we have a few winners this weekend, and one loser. The Legend Of Tarzan and The Purge 3 both came out winners this weekend. Tarzan overperformed from its original 30M projection, and The Purge 3 actually … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Dory’ Wins, But ‘Tarzan’ and ‘Purge’ Surprise
It looks as though The Legend Of Tarzan isn’t quite the huge flop some were predicting it to be. of course, 43M over the July 4th weekend doesn’t seem to be enough for some people, but for a film starring … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Dory’ Towers Over Newcomers Over The Long Weekend
Finding Dory is still very much the film to watch out for this weekend. It should crush all three new releases. It will likely be the last weekend it sits on top, as The Secret Life Of Pets opens next … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Dory’ Blasts Fireworks At Three New Entries
1) Captain America: Civil War- 430M Total At 403M, it’s not likely it will hit quite the 430M total. It may squeak out somewhere around 410M. The way Finding Dory is performing, it might not even remain the top film … Continue reading Summer Box Office Challenge: How Am I Doing?
Man, the Independence Day franchise is dunzo. Any sequels being made without Will Smith are dunzo. Not only did Independence Day not beat the second weekend of Finding Dory, but it ended up below even the low end of its … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘ID42’ What Happened?
It is entirely possible that Independence Day 2 loses to the second weekend of Finding Dory. If Dory had a steep decline of 60%, it would be on track for 55M. Now, if Independence Day 2 disappoints, it might fall … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘ID42’ Competes With ‘Dory’ For #1
Finding Dory is tracking really well headed into the weekend. A lot of comparisons are being made to Toy Story 3, which made 100M+ in its first weekend. This is the widest Pixar release ever, and with some ticket price … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Everyone Will Find ‘Dory’ and ‘Intelligence’
Pretty much everything this summer has disappointed except Captain America. Ninja Turtles opened under, Neighbors 2 disappointed, Alice flopped. So we have two sequels now, and a franchise tentpole. Warcraft has been getting terrible reviews, yet it has been lighting … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Three New Releases Vie For #1
The Turtles are back. The first film was a bit of a surprise, managing 191M. The sequel could go bigger, as fans are already excited for the big screen debuts of Bebop and Rocksteady (and Krang). Reviews won’t factor in, … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Ninja Turtles’ Vs ‘X-Men’
Despite the reviews, X-Men Apocalypse will still open big. 52% on Rotten Tomatoes isn’t awful. It won’t be hurt too much by the poor reviews up front, but it might translate into shitty word of mouth, which will affect the … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘X-Men’ To Break The ‘Looking Glass’
