Latin - TS
Europe - DM & Frozen (Ice Age is also huge brand in Europe)
Asia - Frozen
Domestic - Incredibles
If Ice Age is a huge brand in Europe, TS is a huger brand there.

FvF going for that sub-50% drop. It is a terrific film and deserves an even smaller drop, though.
Do you think people with no interests in car racing would enjoy it?

Oh my fuck the new Mojo is even worse than I though. Jesus Christ. I can't even view what a movie that opened limited did on its wide opening weekend anymore! This really sucks.

200 is hard to achieve. The only movie in the foreseeable future that will probably hit 200 is Avatar 2 or Black Panther 2
Not even sure about these two. A5 maybe.

I don't get how TS4 has bigger opening than F2, the buzz for F2 is stronger than TS4. I guess TS4 demo is much older than .....
Is Frozen a bigger IP than Toy Story?

Wow! The box office landscape has changed so much since the last decade. 👩🏻💼
Before 2010, we had only 3 movies over $500M+ DOM, now there’s way more movies over $500M now than it was before.
only because this decade sees the rise of disney

It Chapter 2 may have dropped $200m from the first, but it’s still one of the biggest horror films of all time.
I just can’t call that a let down lol
Letdown as in the quality of course. Everyone knows this IT2 will make a load of money.

A letdown compared to It, but still big and very profitable.
most horror movies are very profitable

Either way, it's probably not going to make its budget back, domestically speaking. Big yikes, considering we're talking about a studio who usually nails horror films (It, Conjuring universe etc. ).
It2 is a letdown too

yuck, Disney fudged Mal 2 but it's gonna lose it on weekdays and Jokah already made headlines. Nobody cares about actuals.
no one cares about actuals when nothing changed. This will clearly make headline when Mal 2 ends up on top. Don't underestimate disney's strategy on lowballing Sunday estimates.

Obviously the point of my post went well over your head. Theatrical income is not the end all be all and hasnt been for 30+ years.
The massive world wide grosses of super hero films has dramatically screwed the perception of success for films not in that category.
You know there is ad and propagation cost too right? movies like Mal2 will cost a fortune on that too. DVD and home entertainment income will have to cover that. Mal2 doesn't have to have MCU level success but it seems BO income can't even cover its prod budget which means it's a flop, not just underperforming.

Like hanging chads in the state of Florida during a U.S. presidential election, the battle between Disney’s second weekend of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Warner Bros.’ fourth weekend of Joker during one of the most boring B.O. weekends of the year isn’t over yet. Warner Bros. believes there is a tie between both pics for No. 1 with $19.125M, Disney, while they haven’t reported their figures yet, sees a tie as of this morning as well. Industry calculations show Maleficent 2 ahead of Joker by a smidge, $19.12M to $19.05M. This sounds like the race will boil down to the mom and pop theater grosses which aren’t picked up by Comscore. We’ll see if Disney holds on to No. 1 later this morning, or if they concede.
disney underestimate as always

Again read the rest of the thread. Losing money theatrically alone is way more frequent than most understand. Even huge hits on paper can appear as money losers with studio accounting (lol) case in point I think it was Harry Potter 5 or 6 that WB tried to sell as a theatrical money loser do to backend stuff.
A flop is not a film that will ultimately be in the black as Mal 2 will given the normal post theatrical life. Underperformer - absolutely, even with lowered expectations taken into account given release time and age since last film. Not a flop and no where close to the cousin called a bomb.
OK I'll rephrase. Any movie what fails to cover its production budget with theatrical income is a flop. (There aren't many this year)

It was part of the 185 reported budget?? Quit being thick headed as if some are ignoring things to make one seem better. Disney is a rare player in backend deals such as the type that skews the profit line. If Jolie is pulling a bunch of money post her paycheck its been completely left out of reporting / discussion behind the scenes. ALL of which is again showing your willingness to extend a bias instead of dealing with factual data and information.
Doesnt change the film from being an under performer but again, its not a flop.
if it loses money, it's definitely a flop

Joker finally got a Halloween boost

I feel WW2 will explode OS this time. The first one was beloved. You'll see the hype when the trailer is released
It's not beloved OS. China for example give it low ratings on both Mayan and douban

maleficent has a surprisingly low theatre count, considering its budget.

It's strange that joker's holds got weaker approaching Halloween.

Don't forget Rotten Scores too.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
Aladdin (2019)
The Lion King (2019)
Batman V Superman
Suicide Squad
They all have Rotten scores from Critics but all of them had good to great legs at the box office.
BvS has a 1.99 multiplexer

This makes sense to me. Critics reviews a movie professionally while audience emotionally. Plus TLJ's CS is A, which means the audience agree with the critics.
