For films specifically in the $300 million range, the last one was probably American Sniper. $350 million DOM and $197 million OS.

Slightly lower than Aladdin on the same day ($12 million). Slightly better in terms of percentage drop (-51.6% vs -52.5%)

Agreed. Almost doubling Tom Cruise's previous highest-grossing film, Fallout. I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount is already planning a sequel.

It's so close to $1.5 billion WW now, but I guess it won't reach it without a re-release. Is it still playing anywhere outside Japan?

It took 3 months to make that last ten million yen, but it was worth claiming that title.

FFH grossed $200 million in China, so that was the conservative target for NWH had it gotten an ideal release date. Legs probably would have been poor since NWH had noticeably worse ratings compared to FFH.

They do have Frozen 3 coming up too. Even if it doesn't make as much as Frozen 2, it should be a hit at the very least.

Seems very doable. Minions 2 had a similar opening and grossed $12 million, although that was in the heart of summer.

Mena made a comment on Twitter that TLM wouldn't hit $1 billion WW like Aladdin because it wouldn't have as many repeat viewings or something to that effect.

The question is why were Disney so confident in both Elemental and Indy? This is like Eternals all over again where Disney thought they had something truly good on their hands.

Mario had a similar share to Fast X, with only 30% Caucasian.

At least they still have the Minions and now the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.

It would be the only movie between the $1.35-1.4 billion WW range, as well as the only one between $550-600 million DOM.

I assume Disney dropped the dwarves after being publicly dragged by Peter Dinklage when news of the remake broke.

Reportedly, it was the underwater effects and COVID delays. Sadly, the money they spent doesn't show on the screen (especially compared to Avatar 2).

Agreed. It also helps that BatB has a very masculine villain in Gaston whereas TLM has another female as the villain.

It should go over since it still has Japan, and several European markets were deflated because of the weather. Still, this is a disaster compared to the other Renaissance remakes.

At this point, thinking a finish around $775 million OS and $585 million DOM for $1.36 billion WW.

$30 million Saturday for TLM according to Deadline.

Pixar and WDAS both need to do some serious soul-searching, especially if Wish disappoints too. They can't keep producing $200 million bombs one after another.

Don't see it passing Bad Guys, let alone get anywhere close to Puss. Those had more GA appeal (especially Puss), while Ruby Gillman seems female-skewing. The trailers have also been pretty meh, and I get the feeling Universal is dumping it. Too many films this summer for this one to stand out.

Elemental under Suzume WW ($321 million).

I don't really see female-skewing being the limiting factor. At least, I don't see how TLM is any more female-skewing than Beauty and the Beast (and that ended up grossing $1.26 billion WW).
