Dejana January 14, 2018 Author Share January 14, 2018 16 minutes ago, SeanC said: The Greatest Showman made $14 million on its opening weekend, and is about to cross $100 million. It may end up with like a 10x domestic multiplier, which is insane. The Greatest Showman really is turning into one of the leggiest modern runs ever: Quote With a $97.25 million domestic cume, it has already earned 11x its $8.8m Fri-Sun opening weekend and 7.25x its Wed-Sun $13.4m debut haul. And, just going by Fri-Sun opening weekend figures, it is already the 34th-leggiest movie ever among (respectively) the top 200 opening weekends of any given month. And as it continues to make more money, as it certainly will for at least the short term, it's going to move up that list very quickly. But at this moment, as of Monday, it's already the leggiest movie ever to open on more than 3,000 screens. And the vast majority of its competitors are either Oscar expansion pictures (Chicago, Imitation Game, Juno, etc.) or all-time classic hits from the 1980's and 1990's (Home Alone, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Crocodile Dundee, etc.). Hell, among movies that initially opened on at least 2,000 screens, unless I missed one, it sits behind only There's Something About Mary (which also opened on a Wednesday and then snagged a 12.8x weekend-to-final multiplier back in 1998) and Titanic (which, well, was friggin Titanic). And once it gets past $113m domestic, it'll sit behind only Titanic ($600m/$28m in 1997) among the leggiest wide releases. Even in the fabled realm of December/holiday legs, this Hugh Jackman/Zac Efron/Michelle Williams/Rebecca Ferguson/Zendaya drama is in rare territory. My takeaways are that Hollywood should make more original musicals (though can they be about less problematic people from now on, thanks) and stop blaming Rotten Tomatoes for weak theater attendance. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-3964097

The 2003 Peter Pan wasn't a hit either (alas), so who knows why anyone thought spending way more money, uglying up Hugh Jackman and Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily would make the new version a success? Jumanji's drops have been incredible and if it's not hurt too much by Black Panther, I think it can reach the $400M mark. After that, it's just a little more than $3.7 million to top the domestic unadjusted gross of Spider-Man and become Sony's all-time number one. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-4006952

methodwriter85 January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 (edited) I Tonya didn't get much of a bump. That's kind of a bummer. I really enjoyed it. It's kind of nice to see The Maze Runner finish out their trilogy on a strong note without being humiliated, like the Divergent debacle.* *Lionsgate in their infinite wisdom decided to split the final book of Divergent into two movies, despite the VERY negative reaction to that book and the fact that the box office for the first Divergent was good but not amazing. When the second movie dropped considerably (120 million to the first one's 150 million) they STILL didn't decide to cancel the two movie plan. When they filmed it, they curiously didn't film the two of them back-to-back. The third one came out and bombed pretty horribly, dropping the total down to 66 million. Production was cancelled on the 4th one. Lionsgate then decided that they would film the 4th movie for television, and then use it to launch a series on Freeform. Shailene Woodley and Theo James have both basically said hell no (and I'm guessing that their contracts are for a THEATRICAL piece) and so everything is stalled, probably for good. At this rate everybody's going to be way too old for their characters. Divergent just never should have been made into a movie in the first place. It's definitely one of those "this will only work in a book" deals. The plot was just too complicated, and so much of the action revolves around Tris's head. Also, killing off the main antagonist at the end of the second book was just stupid. I'm glad that The Maze Runner has been the little franchise that could.

I think it's a lesson in "be weary of buying the distribution rights for an in progress series by a young author with no other experience." I think the first two books of the series were pretty decent. The third book went so far off the rails however, that the movie studio tweaked the hell out of the second movie to try to create some narrative sense to support the direction the third book decided to take. But them trying to "fix" Allegiant, but setting up the other movies to support Allegiant, made the franchise hopeless. Lionsgate was so blinded by their Hunger Games income that they couldn't grasp the fact that audiences weren't just looking for "a badass female taking on a corrupt government." 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-4008423

Dejana February 4, 2018 Author Share February 4, 2018 (edited) It's Super Bowl Sunday and the box office shows it. The game is just one day, but attendance drops off sharply on Sunday and the game gets a lot of attention in pop culture that the studios would rather work with (commercials to hype upcoming movies they have higher hopes for) than fight against. Counter-programming has worked (Hannah Montana, Dear John) though not consistently.

Given the star power involved, I think it could have made more, had it been a major rather than a minor Oscar player. Granted, 2012 was a different time even in terms of streaming (not to mention everything else when it comes to a movie set in the political world), but Lincoln made $182M domestically. Abe is an extremely popular figure in the US but it was still a 2.5 hour talky drama about legislation. On 2/13/2018 at 12:14 AM, methodwriter85 said: Well, good for 50 Shades.

There are so many shocking (in a good way) box office stories with the 2017 movies. Horror had a banner year with IT, Split and Get Out, then a Jumanji sequel 20+ years later being such a bigger hit than the original version (even considering inflation). The Greatest Showman went from an opening weekend flop to Titanic-esque legs.

Dejana February 18, 2018 Author Share February 18, 2018 (edited) Box Office: 'Black Panther' Crushes Conventional Wisdom With Record $218M Debut (Forbes): Quote Marvel and Walt Disney's Black Panther has earned a smashing $192 million Fri-Sun and likely $218m Fri-Mon holiday opening. That’s the biggest February opening weekend ever, the biggest solo superhero launch (we can expect Deadpool to comment later this week), the biggest holiday opening (bigger than the $200m Wed-Sun opening of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2009), the biggest Fri-Mon launch (bigger than the $153m Fri-Mon opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End in 2007) and the biggest non-sequel launch of all time. Quote The whole “Black Panther proves that black movies can be box office dynamite!” narrative is both valuable and way overdue. We’ve known that movies fronted by minorities could be huge box office hits at least, at LEAST, since Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s Rush Hour opened with $31 million in September of 1998. That’s not even counting the likes of Eddie Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cop or Will Smith’s many, many hits. And let’s not forget those Fast and Furious moves, which proved that diverse casts were totally box office poison by earning record-breaking sums in China and around the world. So, yeah, it shouldn’t be a surprise that a movie like Black Panther is a juggernaut. Like Wonder Woman last summer, it was the kind of thing for which fans have been waiting for their entire lives. It’s unfortunate that it took this long, as Hollywood may have finally figured out the value of “not a white guy” movie stars right as the idea of movie stars as a box office draw has become a passé notion to an audience hooked on brands. Still, when black movie stars got opportunities, be it something like ID4 or Rush Hour 2 or even Ride Along or Girls Trip, the fans tended to show up in relatively large numbers. The only surprise is that anyone is still surprised. I have long argued that Hollywood erred badly by spending a decade trying to find the next Tom Cruise when it should have been looking for the next Will Smith. So, a valid question going forward is whether Chadwick Boseman will get star vehicles that aren’t biopics, whether Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler will get to grow into a team worthy of Scorsese and De Niro or whether the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright will get further opportunities to shine. It’s not just a matter of “Daniel Kaluuya should be the next 007!” or “I hope we get an all-female MCU movie!” It’s about a variety of employment opportunities in movies big and small that their white male peers take for granted.

Trini February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 Deadline's write-up: Quote Monday AM writethru after 12:05 AM post: Disney has verified this morning what we saw in the middle of the night, that T’Challa recorded the second-best Sunday ever at the domestic box office. Its $60.1 million (higher than the industry’s $59.55M estimate last night) ranks only behind the all-time record held by Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($60.5M on December 20, 2015). The total now pushes Black Panther to a three-day total of $201.8M, still the fifth-best domestic opening of all time after 2012’s Avengers ($207.4M). Disney does see Black Panther making $235M over four days, which means it will beat the Friday-Monday hauls of of Avengers ($226.3M) and Jurassic World ($234.1M). But there are those in the industry who believe T’Challa has a shot to be the second-highest four-day opener ever with as much as $242M-$245M — behind Star Wars: Force Awakens ($288M) but taking out Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($241.6M). In order for Black Panther to claw his way to that height, it would mean that Monday’s ease from Sunday would range between 30%-32%, or $40.3M, to $41.75M. Disney’s projections this morning figure today will decline 45% from Sunday, in which case Presidents Day would yield $33.2M for a $235M Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday. Black Panther has ripped up all previous pre-summer comps, which has made Monday a challenge for many to predict; the film has gotten this high at the B.O. and there’s no question about it going higher. http://deadline.com/2018/02/black-panther-thursday-night-preview-box-office-1202291093/ 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-4072516

The superhero pic set a record for top Monday domestic gross ever, with $40.2 million, edging the previous high set by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at $40.1 million. The Monday total came in $7 million above the studio’s projections and lifted the four-day haul to $242 million. ... Disney also reported Tuesday that the international total has reached $184.6 million to lift the worldwide take to $426.6 million, led by South Korea at $27.1 million and the U.K. at $26.7 million. ...

Trini February 25, 2018 Share February 25, 2018 Box Office Mojo's take: Quote With an estimated $108 million, Black Panther delivered the second largest second weekend of all-time, improving on Jurassic World's $106.5 million second weekend back in June 2015. Black Panther's domestic gross now stands at $400 million, which places it alongside Jurassic World as the second fastest film to top $400 million domestically. However, given the way Black Panther has been outperforming estimates since release, don't be surprised to see these domestic numbers climb once actuals come in on Monday afternoon. So far, Black Panther is already the fifth highest grossing title domestically in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will shortly pass both Captain America: Civil War ($408m) and Iron Man 3 ($409m). The film is also now one of the top 30 domestic releases of all-time after just ten days of release. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4374&p=.htm 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-4092240

I don't think IW is going to be a Justice League-level flop or anything, but my prediction is that BP will make more in the end. I think it might be close. Age of Ultron was a shit movie and is still the second highest grossing Marvel movie (Black Panther will no doubt pass this, but as of today...) because while there's a lot of overlap between Marvel fans, some only show up for an Iron Man movie, while others only show up for Captain America... and the greatest audience is in the sum of its parts. Added to that there has been a lot of buzz for Infinity Wars with record breaking trailer views, the promised climax of 3 phases of world building, and they'll not only get a boost of new Black Panther fans (expect T'Challa to show up a lot more in television spots and trailers for IW) but also from Guardians of the Galaxy fans (a smaller bump, but a bump none the less.) But you're right, I think IW won't get the same number of repeated viewings as Black Panther is getting. I think the top three grossing Marvel movies will be a toss up, because as of now, Black Panther is on track to dethroning the first Avengers film, and will probably set a number that will be really difficult for IW to match, but not impossible.

Moviepass CEO Brags App Tracks Your Location Before and After Movies Going on about that so publicly seems not smart on his part. Most people are aware that apps from businesses can track your location but I don't know if don't like to be reminded about it. I think the subscription model is only going to get bigger in America, but I don't know how long it will be in the form of MoviePass. They're suing a rival ticketing app (Sinemia) that on its surface doesn't offer the same bargain MoviePass does but they obviously feel threatened: https://www.google.com/amp/variety.com/2018/film/news/moviepass-sues-sinemia-1202709289/amp/ Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4142-box-office/page/23/#findComment-4132532
Dejana March 11, 2018 Author Share March 11, 2018 (edited) Four straight weekends at #1 for Black Panther—as of the estimates, the third-best fourth weekend ever. It also becomes the first MCU movie without Iron Man to cross the billion dollar mark globally. A Wrinkle In Time starts about as well as other live action, non-sequel adventures from Disney like Tommorowland, John Carter and Prince of Persia. All got reviews that...weren't the best, though the others cost around twice as much as AWIT. So it has a chance not to become a tax writeoff, and might eventually turn a profit, at least.

Dejana March 18, 2018 Author Share March 18, 2018 Black Panther takes its fifth weekend at #1, the first movie to stay at the top that long since Avatar, and also crosses the $600 million mark. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Peter Rabbit also hit major milestones, and Fifty Shades Freed isn't far behind. I had hoped Love, Simon would break out, but it's not a bad start and it might turn out not to be very frontloaded. Tomb Raider will have to hope the rest of the world likes it better, and I Can Only Imagine how many other famous contemporary Christian/gospel songs are going to be fast-tracked into movie adaptations!
