But I can see a lot of fans watching Endgame again one last time to get themselves into the mood for Far from Home.

Next weekend, Avengers: Endgame will be re-released with additional footage.  For the fans, of course, and in no way an attempt to push it over Avatar's worldwide box office totals. 😉

The latest Toy Story movie has the franchise's highest opening weekend, but comes in below the starts of Incredibles 2 ($182M), Finding Dory ($135M) and even Disney's pre-weekend projections ($140 million). Has animation peaked at the box office or was there a lack of urgency to see an "unnecessary" sequel?

Sequel? There are four more installments scheduled!

Can Cameron become king of the box office one more time? It seems unlikely but people wrongly counted him out before.

Spider-Man: Far From Home opened on Tuesday, spreading out the gross over a 6-day period. Though part of the MCU, the Spider-Man movies are released by Sony, so another studio will finally break up Disney's box office stranglehold for the year, at least a little bit.

[AimingforYoko]

Yeah, I'd say Disney had a pretty good weekend, overall.

[methodwriter85]

Yesterday is holding really well. It looks like it's going to close out in the low/mid-60's. Pretty good for a moderate budget movie.

[sum]

'Monday Midday Update: Final domestic opening weekend for The Lion King per Disney is $191.77M, which is very close to where the industry was seeing it yesterday morning and well above the $185M that the studio reported. This is after a Sunday that was $52.8M, -13%. Lion King‘s opening completely stopped Beauty and the Beast‘s opening B.O. ball of $174.7M and was even higher than such Disney theme park IP pics like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($135.6M opening, the highest in that pic series).'

https://deadline.com/2019/07/the-lion-king-weekend-box-office-july-records-1202648944/

[Dejana]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starts with Tarantino's biggest opening weekend so far (not adjusted for inflation). On the worldwide front, it's another record for Disney: 
 

Quote

Disney set the record for the highest-grossing year for a studio ever, and it's only July.

The company has brought in an industry record $7.67 billion to date at the worldwide box office, it announced on Sunday. That passed the previous record, which was also set by Disney, when it made $7.61 billion at the global box office in 2016.

I haven't seen the yet. Why was the budget 90+ million? Was it filmed on location? Were salaries that high?

Well, there were a lot of show cars involved.  They had to come up with tons of 60s cars.

[methodwriter85]

It definitely looked like it was filmed on location, which wouldn't have been cheap.

This article doesn't have a total budget breakdown but says Leo and Brad got $10 million each (purportedly a pay cut from their usual rates). I would guess Tarantino, as a star director, got an even bigger paycheck. Plus, they had to pay everyone else, too, so salaries were likely a big chunk of the budget. According to Varierty, "insiders" claim the real number before tax rebates is $110 million.

Looks like Toy Story 4 will make it to ten figures, giving Disney 5 movies this year over a billion WW. Peering into my crystal ball, Star Wars: Episode IX is a lock, and Frozen 2 probable, which would give Disney 7 for a calendar year. That's ridiculous.

[Dejana]

The R-rated comedy lives, for now. I guess in the faceoff of Superbad successors between Good Boys and Booksmart, only one could be victorious.  The Angry Birds Movie 2 is another 2019 animated sequel that didn't retain its original audience ($107M domestic/$352M worldwide). The first movie felt late on the whole Angry Birds craze, and that was three years ago.

I'm happy for Jacob Tremblay. Also glad that Michael Jackson can't invite him to Neverland. #TooSoon?

Probably, but I laughed anyway. 

I saw the trailer for this movie when I went to see... (I can't remember which movie). It seemed somewhat funny, but I couldn't reconcile the profane language these tween boys use throughout a movie. And I'm not a prude--I listen to NSFW podcasts all day at work, but with kids, it's different. Makes me cringe. 

I do like Jacob and Keith L. Williams. I don't know the 3rd kid.

They lowered the budget on this one, but I think it will make enough for them to do at least one more. I predict that eventually, Gerard Butler's character will be the president who had to save himself. Air Force One already did that, but it was over 20 years ago and everything gets remade, so...

Heh, I really hadn't thought of that, and it's a Christian movie, too.

Re Hustlers (not so much The Goldfinch):  I've said this before and I'll say it again, I love franchises and I love tent poles and I love big budget movies from corporate monopolies where stuff blows up and Mad Titans try to destroy the universe, however, I feel like every time a modestly budgeted adult themed film does critically and commercially well, an angel gets its wings.    

[methodwriter85]

I feel bad for Ansel Elgort, though. He needs another hit after his big break with Baby Driver to really cement him as a leading man. And hey, he is doing West Side Story with Steven Spielberg, although I consider it far from a sure thing.

Being in a hit movie is always better for an actor's career than having a flop, but traditionally, Tony isn't really one of the showcase roles. I too am kind of dubious about the box office appeal of a West Side Story remake in the 2020s. Fortunately for Ansel, he is of the demo that Hollywood gives the most leeway to "underperform" before relegating them to supporting roles and direct-to-VOD roles.

It's just weird, because they want to do "woke" things like raceflip Doc so that he can be played by 80-something Rita Moreno but they're still keeping it in the 50's. They could have just done that thing the Marvel Netflix shows did and set things in present-day New York City but just completely ignore the effects of gentrification.

And again, I feel like it's being strongly hinted that they're going to be true to the show and flip back "Cool" and "Gee, Officer, Krupke" and GOD that is going to annoy me.

Another fortunate thing for Ansel is that he comes from a pretty affluent family so he's not going to have to resort to really bad B-movies , cheesy commercials, or reality shows to keep the paychecks coming in, like what's happening with Luke Wilson or Katherine Heigl.

Or, you know...Cher in the early 90's.

I don't know, people at the showing I was at seemed pretty split on if they liked it or not. I think the people who knew what this was might come back, but the people who came in expecting an action movie probably aren't coming back. I did think anyone who watched the trailer should have gotten what this was going to be.

Even the raves about Joker don't make it seem like something that general audiences will want to watch again and again in theaters, and they are clear the movie is not for everyone. It's still a hugely hyped movie, though, that has an initial rush factor. On the other hand, I think the controversies and the tone of it might attract people who don't usually see comic book adaptations. Movies that appeal to an older audience tend to have better legs and awards attention will also help extend its box office run.

[Dejana]

Joker has a very good drop: is word of mouth spreading, was the opening weekend suppressed due to the coverage about theater threats, or is all the "controversy" bringing people in? The overseas numbers are even more impressive. Gemini Man and Jexi are both stories about technology gone awry and neither managed to hit with audiences. Parasite has the highest per theater average for a movie since La La Land nearly three years ago.

I never thought that Joker would have even an outside chance at a billion WW. No superheroics, no real SFX to speak of, no real humor to lighten the mood. Warner's has been a punching bag (for good reason), this is a nice win for them.

Meanwhile, the Disney machine starts up again next week.

I thought Joker would be more of a domestic play but it's holding even better internationally. A bleak R-rated drama making a billion dollars without a China release would be one of the more impressive box office feats of the decade. 

[methodwriter85]

I'm really shocked at how well Joker held. The showing that I was at last week didn't even seem into it, although by this point, people probably know what to expect.

Looks like Toy Story 4 will make it to ten figures, giving Disney 5 movies this year over a billion WW. Peering into my crystal ball, Star Wars: Episode IX is a lock, and Frozen 2 probable, which would give Disney 7 for a calendar year. That's ridiculous.

I quoted my previous post to note that I had not picked Maleficent 2 to be one of Disney's billion-dollar grossers and it looks I was right in that assumption. Even so, that opening is softer than Alabama's non-conference schedule.

Five years is a long time for a pricey sequel when the movie did well but didn't quite reach cult or phenomenon status. Even Zombieland 2 seems a bit expensive to me for what it is, though it won't lose money in the end.

I'm guessing Zombieland 2's cast is a lot more expensive now than it was 10 years ago.
