The Lion King: $155 million

Now if you’re talking about just this summer alone yes it kinda has been. Lack of breakouts of smaller films. However, as above mentioned, Yesterday and Rocketman have both turned in a decent amount of cash already. I think Hobbs & Shaw and Hollywood should both pull in a decent amount of cash for the end of the summer as well!

Probably in front of Crawl

Far From Home will be fine overall. Sony has done quite strong with it! It’s turn out has been fantastic!

Hobbs will do $65-$75 million opening weekend with $185-$195 million domestic total. And that’s with the benefit of late summer legs. As for the weekend, I should have changed my box office projections on Stuber and Crawl. Crawl’s preview number is great for its type of film, also word of mouth should hopefully pull people in. Probably a debut close to or around $15 million would be solid! Stuber is probably going to be another Fox misfire. It’s preview number isn’t that good. I may have been too generous last weekend on it saying it will do $16 million. This should probably debut in the high single digits to $10 million.

This will make more than half of Stuber by a milestone

Spider-Man’s Monday is great! Toy Story 4 as well! Today will probably be crazy considering it’s discount Tuesday. dailies are all over the place.

Is Midsommar like The Green Inferno? If so I’m gonna pass, I hated that movie.

Spider-Man’s debut is great! The 3-day debut may be lower than the 3-day of Homecoming, but hey it’s worldwide total is almost $600 million on opening weekend and its 6-day total is amazing! Sony should be easily satisfied with its turnout. Domestic total and worldwide I won’t predict yet, but possibly a total close to the 2002 film is an easy target with a strong possibly a lock at $1 billion worldwide! Heck, it’s crazy to see this increase on a Saturday which is a rarity for today’s day and age. Overall, no complaints on this turnout. Toy Story 4 still holding up, as it passed $300 million this past weekend. Pixar films typically hold up decently. This will definitely make past $400 million domestic. Other than Spider-Man’s massive success this weekend, Yesterday was another success story this weekend as it had decent 2nd weekend hold. For a little film without having big stars nowadays that’s great, I wouldn’t be surprised if analysts call this one of the summer’s sleeper hits if this still holds up. This is also director Danny Boyle’s biggest hit since Slumdog Millionaire, as he’s mainly directed flops for the past few years such as Trance and Steve Jobs. $60 million should be the high domestic note for this. Annabelle Comes Home is surely coming home in a typical horror film decline. The film is still pulling in profit with its low budget and it’s international pull out will save it. Overall a total on-par with The First Purge and Lights Out seem likely at this point. Aladdin still hanging on the top five! It’s domestic total isn’t far away from edging out Suicide Squad to Will Smith’s highest grossing domestic film unadjusted(without including the adjusted totals of Men In Black or Independence Day). And it is almost near $1 billion worldwide. Midsommar debuted dead in comparison to the debut of last year’s Hereditary. The debut is even lower than Deliver Us From Evil which debuted around the 4th Of July back in 2014. The debut was on-par with summer 2017’s It Comes At Night. The reason why Midsommar didn’t pull out like Hereditary was probably the true audience turnout as people I’ve seen on YouTube call Hereditary “The Best Horror Film Of 2018!” didn’t wanna pay the big bucks. Also in all honesty, audiences wanna see a horror film and have fun with it not something that’s downbeat or too strange for the general public. However, the film should do close to $20 million domestic. Secret Life Of Pets 2 holding up decent. While it’s a strong decrease from a predecessor by a landslide, it should make a small profit above $150 million domestic. Men In Black:International is another story it’s worldwide total isn’t even at the break-even point Sony wanted but hey after the success of Spider-Man:Far From Home, this and Brightburn will be like nothing ever happened. Still aiming for in the Pixels vicinity. Endgame’s boost from last weekend still has it remaining on the top 10 this weekend! Almost $850 million domestic is coming it’s way very soon! Rocketman almost singing towards $90 million domestic this weekend. Hopefully $100 million does happen for it. John Wick 3 pushing in big numbers and it could gross on-par with the unadjusted total of the original Matrix fillm, which is possibly outside of Disney/Marvel, and Yesterday/Rocketman’s success this is one of the few success stories of the summer! Child’s Play dropping off steadily like a horror film coming out on the first weekend in January! When you count the films starring Chucky with the original franchise, by their third weekends: Child’s Play ‘88 dropped with 11%(that’s with Thanksgiving weekend) Child’s Play 2 dropped steeper on the Thanksgiving holiday with almost 36% Child’s Play 3 was at almost 53%, and that was with the opening release of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare that weekend. Bride Of Chucky drooped less than 3 and also had competition with John Carpenter’s Vampires that weekend and a decent 43% drop. Seed Of Chucky suffered blue balls with 60% decline on Thanksgiving weekend 2004. So Overall on the bright side the budget is small and should sneak past $30 million domestic. 2019 overall is lagging behind just 2018 by almost 6%. Hopefully July can bring in audiences back to the cinema. But we need studios other than Disney to be pulling big cash for the rest of the year. So hopefully, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood & Hobbs & Shaw among others pull in decent cash.

Spidey will be fine. Midsommar is too weird, so it wasn’t going to be another Hereditary.

Nah. Star Wars will hit it, $300-$335 million domestic may be the bar for it. But Star Wars will decrease too.

Next week: Stuber: $16 million Crawl: $12 million

Well at least this should bring in some light this week and this weekend. This summer has been trash

The film will pull in decent numbers either way, R-rated adult movies are rare for the summer. If it can do Inglorious Basterds numbers that would be great!

there end of story...

Came out of nowhere big time, fun movie no doubt about that. Jim Carrey did not have a comedy hit(discluding Grinch) since 1998 with The Truman Show. Universal positioned it in a solid slot on Memorial Day which was right after The Matrix Reloaded, and it was shown to play as strong counter-programming against it but wasn’t expected to be the winner. Films involving comedy and religion is a gamble as films like Oh God! Was just a definite one and done back in the 70’s as the sequels were stinkers or bombs like Wholly Moses! Which was a summer film back in ‘81 or even Bruce’s sequel/spinoff Evan Almighty was a major financial failure 4 years later. so in conclusion, the film’s success contributed to a crowd-pleasing storyline, some originality, and solid tent-poling in a summer that was quite sequel heavy.

I’d say for this year probably The Upside considering it’s issues with studios and dumped in January. Alita’s final domestic gross wasn’t bad for its genre although it was quite far away from its budget. For the 90’s I’d probably say the turn out for horror films like Halloween H20 or I Know What You Did Last Summer outgrossing bombs such as Alien:Ressurrection among other titles for example. However, that’s been discussed on the 90’s box office retrospective years ago when @baumer made that thread, which I had fun talking in that thread and miss it.

Really not bad. Typical for a horror film

Spidey is off to a fantastic start! Midsommar’s preview number is good, we”ll see how front-loaded it is though.

Rob Zombie’s 3 Days In Hell

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Best: American History X Big Lebowski Wild Things Good: BASEketball Halloween H20 Big Hit Deep Rising Half Baked Wedding Singer Bride Of Chucky(it’s a fun movie guys I liked it) John Carpenter’s Vampires The Waterboy Enemy Of The State Urban Legend Snake Eyes Blade Rush Hour The Faculty Can’t Hardly Wait Armageddon Lethal Weapon 4 Eh: Apt Pupil sucked: Disturbing Behavior Dean Koontz’s Phantoms Psycho remake

It’s Deadline.

Music seems to be the most successful thing of the summer. Aladdin(even though I wasn’t a fan), Rocketman, and now Yesterday are all doing well! Maybe Blinded By The Light will do well in August next.

Spider Man: $109 million 3-day($171 million 6-day) Midsommar: $9 million 3-day($14 million 5-day)
