Aladdin live action movie | 24 MAY 2019 | Disney | 7th most profitable movie of 2019. Disney does it again!

I don't think I've ever been so pleased for a movie to cross $1 billion that I thought was merely decent. Even more impressive is the fact that it did so while competing in an incredibly crowded market. The main reason I'm happy is that it's a welcome lesson to not write things off prematurely which many of us, myself included, were doing with this movie for months up until its release. 
What a couple of years for Guy Ritchie. 2017 saw him direct one of the biggest flops in years, and now he has his first billion dollar grosser.

I was bullish enough for the success of the film to join the $900M club after the first weekend, but I don't think I would have ever predicted $1B. It's amazing to see it leg out like this. 

 

This film is up there with Aquaman of films that hit a billion that took people by surprise in recent years.

I feel that's not hard.

This is a well deserved billion dollar hit, the opening was good but nothing special and people were skeptical from the trailers so it was really WOM that got it here.

Will Smith's Genie is the best. I can't wait for part 2.

OW ranked 68th (now 69 after TS4).

2nd weekend ranked 81st (now 82nd after TS4).

3rd weekend ranked 76th.

4th weekend ranked 58th.

5th weekend ranked 36th.

6th weekend ranks 40th.

7th weekend ranked 39th.

8th weekend ranked 39th.

9th weekend ranked 65th.

10th weekend ranked 64th. 

To stay flat at 64 needs 2.4M, think it’ll be around there.   

 

Heading toward 360+ DOM and 1.06+ WW.

Are the chances of this passing TJB WW relatively decent by the end of its run?

Finally! Ritchie will deliver as usual, soon the <$200M predictions will look foolish.

Well, TJB is below 1B. And Aladdin is already above 1B. So... prettttttty decent, yeah.

TLJ did $11.3m more after a $2.76m w/e - a 5x multi off that w/e.

 

Aladdin would have to do $17.8m after a $3m w/e - almost a 7 multi - chances slim

 

Edit:     As WW it's already happened which is why my mind automatically went to Dom.

Regarding DOM, I think you had the wrong weekend (9th vs 10th)?  

 

I prefer looking at weekly multis, in this case I’ll just take the last 7 days. TJB made 3.22, added 8.09, 3.51 multi.     

 

Aladdin would need to add 17.83 off a 5.85 week, 4.05x multi or about 25% weekly drops. Quite possible with the way things have gone and the way August looks imo.

do you mean domestic not ww?

It passed TJB a couple of weeks ago?

[meriodejaneiro]

IRRC, TJB had spring weekdays while Aladdin has summer weekdays ... that can play in Aladdin's favor. 

365 dom for Aladdin would be like 

 

edit: late legs for TJB were already in summer season.

This movie gets to its 1B$ through powerful WOM. Deserve every dollar.

[NYer4Life]

Congrats to Aladdin $1 billion!

 

Well deserved. Out of the 3 Disney releases this summer Aladdin takes it as the best.

 

Over 2 months later and I’m still listening to Speechless.

The Shay cries like a lil bitch EVERY time when this plays in cinema (10 viewings and counting).

 

Guy Ritchie should be making mainly musicals from now on!!

If it's the music you love, Pasek and Paul get the praise for Speechless. They did the songs for La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and Dear Evan Hansen.

 

I do adore the movie as a whole though.
