[POTUS 2020]

Looks like SS is getting to 300m+ no problem and GB, ST and JB looking to fall short of 200m.

Will this be the year of no 200m movies? First in 20 years? Maybe the fall/holiday has one but the trend could continue to bomb or explode. hmm, similar words with opposite BO meanings

off topic but worth posting:

Sing and Fantastic Beasts seem like will both end between 200M and 299M.

JB is still possible...

The Secret Life of Pets held on well enough after such a big opening and is still on track for $300M or so.

 

After becoming a hill upon which both sides died on, a solid but unspectacular opening for Ghostbusters is a fitting conclusion to that saga. Word-of-mouth should be really good though so I think it'll have relatively strong legs.

 

Big drops again for most movies, although The Legend of Tarzan is holding on well enough. Finding Dory has finally surpassed Shrek 2 to become the biggest animated movie ever. Central Intelligence also had a good drop.

 

Sparkling start for Café Society. I doubt it'll approach the heights of Blue Jasmine, let alone Midnight in Paris, but it should at least fare better than his two not-well-received Emma Stone outings.

With OS updates:

 

The Conjuring 2 crossed 300m WW.

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$101,111,661	33.6%
+ Foreign:	$200,000,000	66.4%
= Worldwide:	$301,111,661

 

Me Before You added another 15-16m, on it's way to 200m WW (still has Italy plus a few smaller markets on the way).

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$55,340,084	32.2%
+ Foreign:	$116,600,000	67.8%
= Worldwide:	$171,940,084

 

Central Intelligence reached 180m WW.

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$117,508,303	65.1%
+ Foreign:	$63,000,000	34.9%
= Worldwide:	$180,508,303

 

And Tarzan also added some solid OS numbers (it's only new big market this weekend was Italy and it still has China, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Spain and Argentina on the way):

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$103,050,257	53.2%
+ Foreign:	$90,600,000	46.8%
= Worldwide:	$193,650,257

 

Warner has a good summer and it's about to get a lot better with Suicide Squad and Lights Out on the way (plus a potential small hit in War Dogs).

The OS number for The Purge is an error. 

Always double check Mojo's international numbers.

We actually have no idea how or if Sony fudged. Practically by definition, fudging doesn't even enter the equation until actuals. We really use the term way too often. 

[Lordmandeep]

Ghostbusters did well considering it seemed a few months ago to be on the path to be a huge flop.

It was likely saved by some strong and good marketing in the past 2-3 weeks. 

[Mojoguy]

46m isn't a hit or a flop, just mediocre for WYNGC.

It seems fitting that the haters and supporters leave disappointed.

And being a good movie.

[BK007]

Dory isn't getting to $500m.

 

Probably $480m best case now.

 

As shit as IA is I think it'll drop over 50% again.

[UrosepsisFace]

For a while Box Office Mojo had Ukraine's numbers super inflated. For example, I believe, it had Gods of Egypt making over 30 million for Ukraine alone. At the time, it was significantly higher than what Gods of Egypt was making in the US. Much of Deadpool's OS seemed to come from Ukraine as well. Ditto for How to be Single. It was shocking because Ukraine didn't have too many movies crossing 1 million in 2015, let alone over 30 million. I was thinking, when did this country become a larger market than UK, France, Germany, and Mexico. It was actually contributing China-like numbers...

I hope so. I liked those movies

About the closest thing to a SH movie(Sans the tights, a cape, a mask, flying, shrinking etc) without being one.

But don't you feel all edgy when you post pictures of a buttery, chocolaty confection whenever numbers are announced?

I realize Sony probably didn't fudge but what do you call it when a studio temporary inflates an estimate to reach a milestone, like 100 m?

 

"Estimate fudging"?

[filmlover]

If only Amazing Amy (Pascal) was still at Sony to spill the beans via leaked emails.

[grey ghost]

"Hillary: Confirmation Bias" did pretty good. 

[a2k]

TARZAN made 10 on Mon-Thu and then 11 over the weekend.

It should add 14.5 (6 + 3.5 + 2 + 1.2 + 0.7 + 0.4 + 0.7 [rest of the run including dollar bump]) more in all the remaining weekends combined.

Using this week's weekday::weekend ratio of 10:11, it should make 13 in all the remaining weekdays combined.

That will take it to 103 + 14.5 + 13 = 130.5 dom
