‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Continues Soaring to $291M, Becoming Tom Cruise’s Top-Grossing Movie at the BO!!

Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick held throughout the week, and it’s holding at a brilliant steady in weekend 2. The sequel’s -32% ease is the best for a wide release that opened to $100M+, ahead of the -40% weekend 2 posted by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December 2015 as well as 2004’s Shrek 2  (-33%).

Paramount is now calling the 4-day weekend for Top Gun: Maverick at $151M after a $38M Saturday, which is technically up 16% from Friday’s $32.7M ($52M less $19.3M Thursday previews). That uptick means a ton in today’s market, given how older skewing this movie is.

‘Doctor Strange 2’ Continues Reign at Top-Spot as ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ Opens with $16M at the BO!!

Downton Abbey: A New Era debuted at the number two spot in its first weekend with $16 million, which is lower than Friday’s $18 million forecast, but good enough for Focus Features’ best weekend debut of the pandemic era. This is less than half of the $31 million that the first Downton Abbey film opened to back in 2019, but a win nonetheless for a … Continue reading ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Continues Reign at Top-Spot as ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’ Opens with $16M at the BO!!

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Retains Top Spot with $61 Million at the BO!!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a great fall in its second weekend, down -67% for a Disney-reported $61M take (rivals are seeing $60M, -68%). While that drop is akin to the second weekend declines of recent MCU titles, the uber-successful Spider-Man: No Way Home (-67.5%) and Black Widow (-67.8%), know that all these percentile plummets are not equal. Doctor Strange 2 ranks among the MCU’s … Continue reading ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Retains Top Spot with $61 Million at the BO!!

Either way, that’s a great kickoff to … Continue reading ‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ Set for Huge $190M+ Opening at the BO!!

‘The Bad Guys’ Takes Back Top Spot with $16.1 Million at the BO!!

After all the hallelujahs about the return of theatrical at CinemaCon this past week, the major studios skipped out on programming any new wide releases this weekend. All of this is resulting in a marketplace which is seeing an estimated $68M in total ticket sales, down 28% from last weekend. Ugh. In regards to when the majors will sit on the sidelines again this year, … Continue reading ‘The Bad Guys’ Takes Back Top Spot with $16.1 Million at the BO!!

‘The Bad Guys’ Steals Top Spot from ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ with $24 Million at the BO!!

As the pandemic eases and the town questions what works on the big screen, the answers are largely family films, even if they are dated three weekends in a row. We’re talking about Universal/Dreamworks Animation’s overperformance of its $69M production The Bad Guys, which is notching a solid debut of $24M and a great A CinemaScore. Per EntTelligence, the Pierre Perifel directed animated movie drew … Continue reading ‘The Bad Guys’ Steals Top Spot from ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ with $24 Million at the BO!!

‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Opens to a Franchise-Low $43 Million at the BO!!

If there’s still a five-picture plan in place for Fantastic Beasts, clearly after this weekend’s $43M opening for The Secrets of Dumbledore, it’s time to pivot the Harry Potter franchise. That’s the lowest opening ever stateside for a J.K. Rowling Wizarding World movie, and it’s probably not prudent for the studio to go for another low opening record on the next project from the franchise. … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Opens to a Franchise-Low $43 Million at the BO!!
