THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD
kswiston replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Numbers and Data
So Mario potentially over BvS's easter weekend record if we toss in Thursday evening shows to make it comparable. Maybe without Thursday if Sat is closer to flat 👀 -
THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD
kswiston replied to Eric Atreides's topic in Numbers and Data
Wolf of Wall Street got a C and its highest drop in the first 8 weekends was 38%. Only two others were above 30%. Even for the winter holidays, those were good legs. -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)
kswiston replied to Cap's topic in Numbers and Data
From the perspective of moviegoers, Bad guys doesn't really register either. Lightyear passes its total in a few days. Lightyear cost 3x as much, so financially it flopped. Audience wise, they are basically the same. Sonic is the only thing approaching a blockbuster for kids a bit too young for Marvel/DC since theatres returned. And that was 3 months ago. All of this seems to be benefiting Minions 2. -
Some of you put way too much stock in cinemascores, especially post-covid. Eternals with its B had better legs than Civil War with its A. The Batman is sitting at 2.75x with a traditionally low for superheroes A-. Audiences don't exactly have an abundance of blockbuster choices right now. There is one other film between now and six weeks from now when Jurassic hits.

Hitting Rogue One domestic is dead. Rogue One will go from being 50M behind on Tuesday to being maybe 10M behind this coming Monday. My guess is that Rogue One pulls ahead by the end of weekend 4, and that weekend 4 for RO is 8-10M higher than TROS. I still think that Disney pushes TROS to 500 if it looks to get close (which it does), but I am not expecting much better than BatB domestic.

Disney's eventual 11B+ worldwide this year is pretty insane. Beating their own record by over 45%. Worldwide annual studio record has doubled in the past 5 years.

Some of the legs difference between BvS and JL is due to the fact that BvS opened easter weekend and JL opened the week before Thanksgiving. Some of it was the audience not caring to rush out to see it. By the logic above the Mockingjay films had a better audience reception than The Hunger Games or Catching Fire.

AQUAMAN | 813.4 M overseas ● 1148.5 M worldwide
kswiston replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
Ignoring China, Justice League hit 273M internationally after its third weekend. Aquaman will top that in the next 5 days with holiday legs in many territories, plus Australia opening. Also, many territories will only be in their second weekend internationally, while JL had a more global launch. Domestic ultimately will pass 300M unless it starts collapsing quickly. This weekend could hit 200M (I am thinking 195M at worst), and then Aquaman will have NYE and New Years, plus at least some schools off until Jan 6th. China is looking like maybe 275M. If not, pretty close. If Aquaman just matched JL internationally outside of China, it will hit at least 900M worldwide with those figures. But JL only made 26M outside of China internationally in weekend #3. Aquaman clearly has a lot more momentum, given that just Xmas wasn't far below that. If 1B doesn't happen, it will be close. -
BUMBLEBEE | 340.8 M overseas ● 468.0 M worldwide
kswiston replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
Are people expecting great legs? Because The Last Knight only did around 250M outside of China internationally, and Bumblebee seems way down in most comparisons so far. -
The Hobbit 1 only did 4x its Wed-Sun on this same set up in 2012, so I don't think that better legs than openers is a given. The dates don't line up, but last year The Last Jedi did around 3.5x its Wed-Sun and Ferdinand did 6.5x. If you do the same for Rogue One, Collateral Beauty, TFA, Sisters, Alvin 4, Hobbit 3, Night at the Museum 3, Annie, Hobbit 2, and Madea, you will find that Ferdinand had by far the best multiplier of the bunch. The rest didn't even hit 5x that Wed-Sun for their post-first tuesday run, and most were under 4x. That's every major third weekend of Dec release since 2012. You can definitely argue that Spider-verse reviewed a lot better than most of those, and doesn't have the Star Wars first week rush, but 8-9x seems more based on optimism than past data.
