Tuesday Actuals: Jurassic World - 13.13M | Inside Out 13.04M

[Harpospoke]

Looks like JW will win the BO crown domestically, and FF7 will win internationally for the year...until (maybe) December. A big win for Universal Studio!

I wonder what Disney's response will be if that happens:

So every studio which has a bunch of hits, makes a ton of money, but doesn't finish #1 throws a temper tantrum?

 I think you are confusing studios with the fanboys who brag about various studios "winning the year".  (an odd thing to root for)

Apparently, according to Rth, studios do not split double-feature receipts. Both movies are given the full gross from double features attributed to them.

 

Those clever bastards

I'm counting on this for JP4 with Minions. Will really help JP's late legs, haha.

[TServo2049]

Which means every double-feature is fudged for both movies on the bill. So with that reasoning, why is any one movie getting singled out by us for being "fudged"?

Soon...ET will be bumped out of the top 10 DOM list, by JW.

Finishing #1 for the year is a very, very good thing to present to the executives and shareholders of the media conglomerates that own these studios, and you can be rest assured that Disney and all the suits at ABCDisney expected them to be #1 this year.

Exactly right. The double feature fudge accounting is a totally legal aspect of the industry and all studios do it.

[TServo2049]

Does this mean the operators report the complete receipts for cross-studio double features to both studios? Or do those actually get split?

Bad news. FF7 is bumped back to #4 WW...according to BOM.

The OS figure that pushed it to #3 was a mistake originating from that "the numbers" website. F7 is done overseas.

[TServo2049]

Yeah, apparently the $1.169b OS number was a mistake. (I am betting that whoever reported the number which was on BOM and the number that is still on The-Numbers meant to hit the 0 key but accidentally hit the 9 key.)

Edited June 24, 2015 by TServo2049

[MrFanaticGuy34]

True.

But what about DOM? You'd think Universal would find some ways for FF7 to dethrone TA somehow,....if they could.

BOM has become typo central recently.

[TServo2049]

This one is not BOM's fault - The-Numbers also has $1.169b.

I swear I remember another incident last year where one source reported one number and another source reported a number, and the difference came down a difference in one digit where the two numbers are right next to each other on the keyboard. But I forget what it was...

 You can't just materialize $8 million.

 

Well, Paramount would, but I digress.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Wait... Huh? F7 didn't pass TA WW?

[mahnamahna]

Underdogs is going to be this year's Epic. No way it only hits 20m.

Shaun the Sheep is closer to this year's Epic    both should do $20-30 million DOM combined. 

 

Underdogs looks awful! And it's from Weinstein... not exactly known for marketing non-Oscar fare except Paddington. 

 

Underdogs would be lucky to do more than $20 million. Especially since IO, Minions, Pixels and Ant-Man will keep family audiences well-satisfied. If Underdogs were from Blue Sky, I could see where you're coming from... but this looks as bad as Foodfight! 

[redfirebird2008]

I would say this is a good thing given the quality gap between the two.

[PDC1987]

Wait... Huh? F7 didn't pass TA WW?

No. It has been $9 million or so behind for a couple weeks, barely playing anywhere. The new number was a mistake.

[TServo2049]

No, it appears that some OS reporting source sent both BOM and Numbers a figure that was incorrect, presumably due to a single keystroke error of hitting the 9 key that is directly to the left of the 0 key...
