People beginning to panic because 900 M$ domestic is not sure...
Really?
That movie has already made way too much money in my opinion
MCU fans are pathetic

Bingo. Studios release and market original films every weekend. Audiences just aren’t bothering to watch them. But that doesn’t mean studios aren’t releasing original content (and more times than not it’s quality content too)
For sure we don't have to blame studios, but general audience. We still see original movies (more and more in arthouses circuits, less and less in big multiplexes...)
Serioulsly, do you think studios will continue to put money and energy in original movies (specially tentpole... look what happened to Edge of Tomorrow...) like they did in the past years?

Transformers, Warcraft, Fast and Furious, xXx, ahem.
Not great movies, I admit (I quite enjoyed Warcraft, F&F films are the same kind of popcorn films than MCU, even if you don't like them)
And may that be clear : I am certainly not saying MCU films are bad.. I will never criticize movies that I don't see (last MCU films seen : Galaxy #1 (because of my nephew) and... Iron Man 2 (no Avengers, Captain America, Thor, etc)
I am just feeling sad than the same kind of unoriginal movies fill the top 10 domestic, years after years.
Studios will be less and less willing to produce original stuff and will make Disney of themselves : remaking, rebooting, re-imagining (!) the same movies

China has never given MCU its dues. I was prepared for a Black Panther.
Its dues?!?
Why MCU movies should all do tremendous business?
Chinese audience has better taste than North American, they embrace a bigger
diversity of movies

Has Feige ever expressed anything about potentially expanding the MCU to include Marvel Comics' horror side of things? Or would that be not family-friendly enough? I would love to see characters like Son of Satan, Mephisto, Satana, Jennifer Kale, and Terror Inc in blockbuster form...

odd comps
The idea is to point that a small drama coming out of nowhere will outgross one of the biggest franchise.

China is such an unexpected market... Green Book poised to outgross The Last Jedi...
I like it

Just something that I noticed :
ASIB is only the 10th highest OW of October with its 42 M$. That first week-end of October was the one that Meet The Parents opened 18 years ago when it crushed the record (previous record holder was Antz with 17 M$, so yes the record had been crushed)
18 years later, MTP stands at #27 with its 28,6 OW. Off the 26 movies that have opened with higher numbers, only 3 have grossed more in total.
More impressive :
#119 Look whos Talking and its impressive 140M$ total. Off the 118 movies with higher OW... 6 have grossed more.
Good old times when movies had legs!

Any data about the worst multipliers ever in China?
I guess Apartment of Love will climb high on the chart
Barely have a multiplier over 2... from its opening DAY!!!

The Shape of Water opened 3 and a half months ago, and came out on DVD 4 days ago. Any money it is making now is a bonus.
Peace,

You're right, that was just an exemple
But if you take a look at the highest grossing movies of the past 10 years...
Sometimes you have a Get Out, or a Jumanji, but they are quite rare
-
Boxoffice is less and less interesting to follow, always the same, non orignal movies grossing the most.
This week-end you have Shape of Water, a totally original movie, grossing less than a million, dropping 60% from last week-end,
despite being freshly rewarded at the Oscar
And you have Black Panther, the 6th SH movies from Marvel to be released in less than 2 years (SIXTH!!), and that movie will gross 30 millions... in its FIFTH week end!
I'm losing faith in boxoffice and the lack of interest for the general audience to see original movies

I was looking at the lowest 2nd week end drop for saturation (2500 theaters) releases
Get Out is #65
If you remove all the movies on that list that had their 2nd week end during Holidays, Christmas or Thanksgiving (because it's not a proof that the movie is leggy), the same for Mother's Day (2nd week end had Mother's Day, looking at the third week end drop of 70% is an undeniable proof that the movie was not leggy)
So if we keep just the movies that had "normal" 1st and 2nd week end, Get Out is easily in the top 10.
Amazing to say the least

I have to admit that I have an "allegiance" (way of speaking) to Universal.
It started in 1998 after that horrible year they had (http://www.boxofficeguru.com/studio98_uni.htm)
That year, they ended with total gross of less than 400M$ (with 2 costly flops, Meet Joe Black and Babe 2)
After that, I was simply happy for them when they have had success. It started in 1999 with a great summer (Mummy 1, Notting Hill, American Pie) 2000 (Erin Brockovich, Meet The Parents, the Grinch)... And it never really stopped.
2015 is some kind of a change for them cause they capitalize on franchises, but I think they made their mark by having success with movies that are not part of big franchises
I'm not an "anti-other studios" because of that. The only one I'm happy when they flop is Disney... only because I'm tired of SuperHeroe movies and want to see something new.
So, because of that, seeing Jurassic World having much better sucess than Avengers 2 was a great, great new

Hard to tell, can't find any data for English canadian boxoffice

This past week-end... Minions is holding much better than in the USA, total nearly 50% more than Inside Out!
Jurassic World is a beast too here, but not as much as in the USA. Far to be top 3 all time like domestic BO... With a final gross around 9 M$, not even sure it would make top 10 (Avatar, Titanic, 3 LOTR movies, 1 or 2 Harry Potter, Spideman 1 and a couple of French Canadian movies have made more)
It's another terrible year for local movies. Ego Trip will not even make a million, which is very bad.
Mimicking domestic numbers, Ant Man is doing good, but not great
1) Minions : 633 050 -------------------- 5 820 069
2) Pixels : 478 746 (new)

What an atrocious year for Sony... and I don't think Pixels will change that. Fortunately, they will have Transylvania 2 and Spectre this fall
Kind of remind me 1998 for Universal... 2015 is a totally different story for them

For the past week end : 1- The Maza Runner : 567 057 567 057$ 2- Mommy : 466 776 466 776$ 3- A Walk... Tombstones : 158 767 158 767$ 4- Dolphin Tale 2 : 140 949 335 785$ 5- This is...

Bon Dieu : 49 646 1 215 858$ 10- 1987 : 45 426 2 322 447$ Worth noting : The past week end saw the release of Mommy, last movie from Xavier Dolan. At 25, Mommy is his 5th film and the 4th to be shown in Cannes, where it won the Jury's Prize last May. The week end numbers is the best for a local film in 3 years. It's gonna be the movie to represent Canada for Foreign movies submission. 1987, the biggest success of the year for the local movies is still in the top 10. The summer was pathetic for French canadian movies with a little bit more than 5% of the market, far far from 2005 that saw a record 18% I think. Guardians of the Galaxy, with almost 5 M$, is by far the biggest success of the year Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?, the blockbuster from France, is doing good (maybe 1,3 M$ in the end of its run), but nothing really spectacular compared to the tremendous success in France and Germany. Some movies from France (Amélie, Asterix : Mission Cleopatra), made more than 3 M$ in Quebec

i don't have data fort Canadian BO alone... I used to have in mind a ratio of 1/40 for the part of Quebec BO in the Domestic numbers. But it's an average!22 Jump Street is doing bigger numbers than Transformers 4! Dragons 2 cume is almost the same than T4...

Sorry I had difficulties with the post

The highest grossing french canadian movie so far this year is "La Petite Reine", released earlier this summer, with a little bit over 800 000$, which is... very bad.To put that in perspective, have a look at Summer 2005 : (2005 was a record year with 18% of the market for the french canadian movies, 2014 will be around 4%)C.R.A.Z.Y. : 5,2 M$Aurore : 4,4 M$Horloge Biologique : 3,6 M$ Le Survenant : 2,6 M$Every year, in July or beginning of August, there is a big movie released (usually a comedy) that is meant to be a big blockbuster. La Grande Séduction (2003 : 7,3 M$), Camping Sauvage (2004 : 3,5 M$), Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006 : 10,4 M$), De Père en Flic (2009 : 10,6 M$), Piché : Entre ciel et terre : (2010 : 4 M$)This year, it was Le Vrai du Faux. Everything was there : big names, good trailer, same director than "De père en flic"... the movie will have difficulties to reach a total of 400 000$... pathetic

Not sure to get your point
Are you trying to say that Tarantino is unoriginal the same way as Disney is?
There is not a single person, not a studio that comes close to Disney when we talk unoriginality
and repetitive movies.
