‘Uncharted’ Sticks to Top Spot as the World Prepares for ‘The Batman’ to Rule at the BO!!

Before a big tentpole comes into the marketplace, there’s typically a lull at the box office. But it’s an even bigger lull when the major studios don’t have any new wide entries. Everyone is waiting for Warner Bros. The Batman next weekend, and many sources tell me it’s bound easily for a $100M+ opening, in fact $115M+, and the advance ticket sales are there to … Continue reading ‘Uncharted’ Sticks to Top Spot as the World Prepares for ‘The Batman’ to Rule at the BO!!

‘Death On The Nile’ Drowns Competition With a Quiet $12.8M at the BO!!

Two major studios this weekend took a bold swing and decided to go after the challenged older female demo over Valentine’s Day weekend in a continued pandemic. While the results were in line with projections, they wouldn’t be anything to brag about in a pre-pandemic marketplace. There’s also an argument that the Super Bowl today slows Sunday business. However, both these titles were aimed at … Continue reading ‘Death On The Nile’ Drowns Competition With a Quiet $12.8M at the BO!!

In a fight between a 22 year old reality brand and a over-the-hill disaster genre at the box office, Paramount’s Jackass Forever wins, punking its mid-teen pre-weekend estimates for a $23.5M opening to Lionsgate’s Moonfall which fell to Earth with $10M.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Reclaims Top Spot from ‘SCREAM’ with $14.1 Million at the BO!!

Some studio distribution bosses used to say that moviegoing is a 52-week business. Well, that’s not the philosophy this weekend, and it’s even grimmer next weekend, as most majors figured in the wake of MLK weekend, and a traditional box office dead zone like January with omicron flying around, that it’s not worth the P&A spend to release any movies. Back in the good ole … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Reclaims Top Spot from ‘SCREAM’ with $14.1 Million at the BO!!

‘Scream’ Dethrones ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ with Strong $36M 4-Day Debut at the BO!!

We can complain about omicron. But I wouldn’t necessarily complain that the variant is spoiling the top films at the box office, as Paramount/Spyglass Media/Project X’s Scream had a robust first day of $13.3M (including $3.5M Thursday previews), and it eased accordingly on Saturday, just like horror movies do, with $10.1M, on its way to a $31.5M 3-day and $36M 4-day at 3,664 theaters. “This opening … Continue reading ‘Scream’ Dethrones ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ with Strong $36M 4-Day Debut at the BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Continues to Break Records While ‘The 355’ Flops at the BO!!

Despite Omicron sending many back to the comfort of their households for January, people are still going to the movies. Specifically, Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is snatching a fourth weekend of $33M at 4,012 locations, a -41% ease from weekend 3. Proof that Spidey is immune to Omicron: He’s coming in higher than the $30M everyone was expecting yesterday.

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Becomes 10th Highest-Grosser of All Time at the Domestic BO!!

Comscore has estimated the 2021 domestic box office at $4.55B, which is +100% from last year’s $2.28 billion and off 60% from 2019’s $11.4 billion. While it would be impossible to think we’d come raging back to 2019 norms, it is arguable that the domestic box office recovery isn’t as robust as many expected. No 1 Exhibitor Boss Adam Aron of AMC forecasted 2021 ending … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Becomes 10th Highest-Grosser of All Time at the Domestic BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Continues Domination While ‘Matrix 4’ Struggles at the BO!!

For all the headlines about Omicron, in many ways the Christmas box office isn’t unlike others pre-pandemic, where one film is driving the majority of business. With the 3-day for all films estimated to ring up around $154M, Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is driving 53% of that figure.

As is typical, the weekend following the Thanksgiving stretch is a downer. And even duly so over omicron headlines, coupled with a Disney animated movie that isn’t as mass-appealing as its predecessors. Read Encanto, which grossed $12.7M estimated second weekend, -53%. That second weekend is lower than the pre-pandemic second weekend takes of some of Disney’s lowest grossing Thanksgiving titles, i.e. The Good Dinosaur ($15.3M) and Tangled … Continue reading ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Crosses $100M as ‘Encanto’ Leads Post-Holiday Weekend BO!!
