no shot in hell it tops Minecrafts 160mil.

Kinda of insane to look at the dailies in April, outside April 1st-3rd before Minecraft opened WB has had the highest grossing movie everyday, which is impressive but even more impressive when you realize the lowest grossing day they've had was still over 5mil.

I think that was last Thursday that dropped

at least Sith will hit 30mil before it leaves theaters. Between that and Accountant 2 we are going to be at 22 movies to hit 30mil for the year by the time Thunderbolts releases.... maybe might take till friday. Not half bad when last year only had 52 movies hit that mark and 2023 64. Getting there in just the first 4 months of the year bodes well. Even at a pessimistic take for the rest of the year they get past that without much issue.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The road chip was a true masterpiece.

April is good but it's still gonna be down from 2023. May though should be the best May since 2019 i think, 785mil is the barrier with MI:8, Lilo & Stitch and Thunderbolts probably contributing near 300mil just from their combined OWs.

June looks pretty meh tbh Ballerina has some major headwinds, namely i'm not sure people will realize it's John Wick universe unless they see the trailer where it says very loudly that it is HTTYD could be good but it didn't get near the hype Lilo & Stitch did so ehh..... 28 years later could be decent Elio probably has a low ceiling.... July's gonna be big though.

I have doubts, the people interested in a period drama aren't going to be interested in a horror movie and the people interested in a horror movie won't be interested in a period drama. It being 2.5 hours long isn't going to help it at all either.

Theaters don't really care if the movie is considered a bomb or a hit so long as it puts butts in seats. That said theaters are probably very happy with Snow White at the moment considering how dead March has been. Even if it only hits 40mil for the weekend it'll probably be the top grossing movie for March by the end of Sunday, it's sad but it's the most business theaters have had in a weekend since CA:NWO. The next big weekend is going to be Minecraft in 2 weeks (personally i'm expecting it to go under Snow White OW). And then there isn't much else till Thunderbolts in May.

Barbenheimer certainly didn't help but i'd argue Sound of Freedom did more direct damage, still insane that it outgrossed MI7, domestically at least.

Tron: Ares will be PG-13 i imagine.....

I think the last one was Venom 3, and before that Twisters..... it's been pretty dry for that bracket.

This January should be ahead of last January at least, February should also beat last year since last February only made around 360mil

Is this a hollywood problem or are overseas markets just weak in general due to economic issues? China had a 28% YoY decrease in ticket sales as of Tuesday, the dollar value of those tickets i'm less sure on. Granted even the US is down 20%~ as of Friday. November was up 300mil~ compared to last year and the number to beat for December 750mil which should be beaten though.

It'll be well past that for the year, the total Digital animation gross for 2024 is currently at 1.78bil (Moana data through Friday). it'll pass Animation will pass 2bil by next weekend and i'd be surprised if it doesn't pass 2016s total by the end of the year.
