I usually reference the Wikipedia List of highest grossing franchises. They appear to differ in respect to the spiderverse movies (which should clearly be included imo) and Sony’s Spider-man Universe (which is a little more dubious but I do understand where they’re coming from).
I mean, if it legs well from here it could be like 1.9B WW-C, if China goes big that could be like 2.25, if you think there’s a 20% covid hit… getting kind of close. I don’t personally think it would have any chance, but it’s hardly the craziest thing I’ve read this month 🙈
Just noticed that NWH going so big means Spider-man will bump past Wizarding World on the franchise chart. NTTD also inched bond past avengers, so it’ll look like:
MCU 25B
SW 10B
Spider-man 9.4B
WizWorld 9.25B
Bond 7.83B
Avengers 7.77B
I forget the rights situation, but isn’t pretty much their most other valuable franchise Lord of the Rings?
Otherwise you’ve pretty got conjuring and monsterverse.
Movie is bad but not really in a tlj exciting divisive way, more in a boring way. It’ll be gone from the culture in a month rather than fracturing a fan base with a war raging months alter.
From same calendar:
Tron Legacy gives 92
Narnia 94
Unfortunate Events 85
Ocean’s 12 108
National Treasure 90
Blade 3 97
Yeah 100 probably not happening. Maybe 20-39-34 more realistic
Perfectly reasonable increase for the first week of a big movie+the calendar factors. Just hoping to stay above 20 tomorrow, I think that keeps the 100 in play.
Encanto screen loss showing up pretty clearly. Also kids competition. If D+ And the 25th releases don’t hit it further though —
Moana added 37x its prexmas wed when Sing 1 opened
Tangled added 29x its dec 22nd wed (when true grit and little rockers opened)
Encanto needs less than 16.5x for 100 (and I really really need it to hit 100 for winter game now that hwk and matrix are no go’s).
Thank God sing wasn't in 108 more theaters or it would have quickly ruined my "all 5 megawide A+ are Disney produced superhero movies that made top 10" trivia 🤣
Are these the 2 closest together A+s ever? Just 5 day gap so it would pretty much need 2 on the same date to be beat and I feel like I would know about that.
