Any numbers for Arthur the King? Mexico is a dog country. I am curious to see if it can snatch a couple of millions there.

I think we should see if The Marvels can get past its giant 270M budget. In order to "objectively" end up better than Indy, it must do more than 1.25 times its budget (Indianas BO 375M)/(I5 budget 300M = 1.25). Therefore, 270M The Marvels budget * 1.25 = 337.5M. If it ends up too far below from that multiplier, I would totally agree with you. I belive that you are right but we have to wait (maybe walkups will save this movie like they did with the Flash KEKW)

In this case, I would say that the budget was: (290M - 71M) = 219M. So the movie itself didnt lose them money because they had insurance. I see the insurance as a discount from the production budget and that is why I dont consider it a flop but rather a disappointment. https://collider.com/mission-impossible-insurance-payout-71-million/

I think so. With Flash, there were higher expectations they were downgraded during the weekend, The problem with Marvels is that the expectations started on the same or below Flash's final level. That is why it is so worrisome because it seems it will end up touching rock bottom.

For me, MI7 box office performance was disappointing. I cannot call it a bomb or flop since it earned 560M at the box office. Using quick numbers we can calculate: 0.4*560 = 224 M. Yes its budget was 290 M but remember that it got a reimbursement from the COVID insurance. Thus: 224M + 70M - 290M = 5M. Of course no one wants to invest money to get nothing back but I cannot say that it was a bomb, just a disappointment (I never believed it was going to make 1B but 560M is too little for me).

My final WW prediction based on LOGICAL arguments for Barbie. Mario has 35 years of existence while Barbie 60 years. Mario made 1350M in its run. Thus 1350*60/35 = 2314M confirmed for Barbie.

Mario is eternal. He welcomes you in the airport. At this point I think it will end up outliving every other Blockbuster this year because of Japan.

600M in China alone. Highest OS of the year confirmed.

I dont know, it has been less than a week and it already did 3rd of Mario OS and it is not slowing down. Mario has 35 years of existence while Barbie 60. 1350M*(60/35) = 2314M confirmed for Barbie.😆

As a lifelong fan of Mario/Nintendo, I am quite happy that it managed to get so far. Originally I thought that as long as it could get around 500M we would get a sequel. Never thought it was going to get so far (specially in Europe or LatAm). 16th highest grossing movie of all time is quite an amazing feat for it (I am saying 16th because Barbie will obliterate it with like 1.5B or more). Hopefully, Illumination can ramp up a bit it story-wise in the sequels.

Do you know (or anyone else) if Haunted Mansion (Disney) will request PLFs as a must?

I think this is the only major market where Barbie will not do well. Even china seems that it will go around 50M+

I think it might be over Mario even if it doesnt explode

250k only for the weekend?

Ohhh so you were serious about the low ATP. 14.21 x 679100 = 9648590. Think we are getting around 45M total?
