‘The Suicide Squad’ Crosses $100 Million at the International BO!!!

Over the weekend, the overseas box office gross earnings for The Suicide Squad finally crossed the $100 million mark. It was already very close at the onset of the weekend; but the extra $4.6 million it earned airing in 6,530 theaters in 73 different international markets was just enough to tip it over the edge.

‘Old’ Takes Top Spot with $16 Million, as ‘Snake Eyes’ Stumbles at the BO!!

Two releases respecting the theatrical window –Universal’s Old and Paramount’s Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins– are opening at the box office to blah results, respectively with $16.5M and $13.35M. But don’t blame the distribution strategy. However, it’s questionable whether we can blame the delta variant. These two movies, which received lackluster CinemaScores of C+ and B-, are opening roughly right in line with their estimates. If both … Continue reading ‘Old’ Takes Top Spot with $16 Million, as ‘Snake Eyes’ Stumbles at the BO!!

‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Takes Over Top Spot from ‘Black Widow’ with $31M+ Opening at the BO!!

Even with Space Jam: A New Legacy in homes on HBO Max, Warner Bros. proves again that when they shell out on TV spots, they can open the film in movie theaters to a solid number. In this case, it was the best 3-day we’ve seen for a family film during the pandemic, with $31.65M. That’s also the best for Warner Bros. during the Covid-19 era, beating … Continue reading ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Takes Over Top Spot from ‘Black Widow’ with $31M+ Opening at the BO!!

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is coming in higher over five days with $17M and a 3-day of $11.7M at 3,331 locations. It’s an OK result, and better than expected, but it’s not a result that has the town skipping about the return of the summer box office as the pandemic winds down, especially over what is typically a lucrative Father’s Day weekend.

Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II in its third weekend has beaten Warner Bros. highly-publicized Jon M. Chu-directed, Lin-Manuel Miranda musical In the Heights for the top spot at the weekend box office, $11.7M to $11.4M. It is a defeat no one really saw coming.

‘Conjuring 3’ Scares ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ From Top Position at the BO!!

It use to be that the studios would space their horror movies apart on the schedule. It’s not usual that one would open up immediately after the other for fear of cannibalizing the same audience. That didn’t happen this weekend as New Line’s The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It opened to $24M, while Paramount’s second weekend of A Quiet Place Part II took in $19.5M. … Continue reading ‘Conjuring 3’ Scares ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ From Top Position at the BO!!
