Speaking of Sony, they have no movies on the chart. Their 3 fall releases - Mag7, Inferno and Billy Lynn aren't doing enough to even be reported. Have we had such a thing with a big 5 studio before where they literally had nothing to report despite their movies being in theaters?

Maybe it should be big 4 instead? Paramount and Sony are going down after Lionsgate anyway.

I'm sure its happened before - but when you only have 1 recently released film and it bombed in a big way - what are you to do? They will show up in the actuals tomorrow like normal.

 

I don't get the shade being thrown at films drops this weekend across the board (not just BO.Com) it's like every publication and prediction site has lost their collective minds over the last couple of months when it comes to the reality of how things work in the b.o. world. That and stubborn refusal to not allow bias to effect future predicting have made BO.Com in particular a joke of late which is sad since Shawn and Co are much better than this.

Disney Sets Industry Record At Domestic Box Office; Crosses $4B Intl For First Time link to deadline

Quote

With $2,491.4M at the domestic box office through today, The Walt Disney Studios has set a new industry record. The Mouse tops the previous record of $2.45B which Universal revved up in 2015. Overseas, Disney has crossed the $4B threshold for the first time in the studio’s history with $4,079.5M. Universal last year was the first studio ever to tilt past $4B, ending the year at $4.44B.

.. Worldwide, Disney’s stable of super and animated heroes has accumulated $6,570.9M to date.

...

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story begins its highly-anticipated rollout in 10 days’ time, kicking off in France and others on December 14, followed by Brazil, Germany, the UK, Mexico, Russia and more on the 15th and Japan and North America on December 16. A China date is not yet fully confirmed, but is likely to slot into January.

Dwayne Johnson is only a big star in America tho so maybe that explains things a bit I dunno.

 

The performance of San Andreas, especially in a market like China, suggests that the Rock has his fans OS.

Or maybe the big 2 + the medium 2.

1	Buena Vista	24.1%	$2,456.5	15	12
2	Warner Bros.	17.8%	$1,817.9	31	19
3	20th Century Fox	13.6%	$1,385.0	20	14
4	Universal	12.2%	$1,245.4	19	16
5	Sony / Columbia	8.4%	$855.1	24	19
6	Paramount	7.4%	$755.8	15	12
7	Lionsgate	6.1%	$622.2	25	22

 

Looking at next year, Disney will probably top 2b again, but won't beat 2016; WB will make about the same, with a shot at 2b. The only other studio that I see crossing 1b is Universal, with about 1.3-1.4b. Fox has a 50/50 chance. Paramount, Sony and Lionsgate - no way.

The fall started off bad and they keep the negative narrative going even though the holds say otherwise. Once on a band wagon, it's hard to get off even though something has obviously changed.

They keep saying china will pass Domestic in a a couple of years even though this year going to be near dead flat. The growth has hit a wall and the BO is at a ceiling but they don't see it and keep writing otherwise.

Wow, that seems like a really strong OS performance for a film all about an incident and person I wouldn't think got much coverage outside the U.S. 

 

People fly all over the world, a successful water landing of a jet is pretty much the holy grail of aviation. It was more of a story in America but not a non-story in other places (I remember reading BBC coverage and seeing jokes that Heathrow didn't have to build a third runway, they could just use the Thames). Eastwood directing brings additional attention. Sully isn't going to have the foreign/domestic split of a Marvel movie but it makes sense it's performing better overseas than something like The Blind Side.

Moana will make $215 million domestic, and Fantastic Beasts will make $250 million domestic. Arrival has a shot at $100 million but it's tough to tell.

How is that possible for either?

Tele's hate for animation knows no bounds, so I can't say I'm surprised.

It's hard to tell holds. Holidays give us bigger boost, Christmas holds and New Years Eve is on a Saturday this year so in between the dailies and families on Christmas Break could see some solid holds.

Zootopia had no huge names in it either. Animated movies are rarely successful because of their lead actors.

$100m for Arrival might just work out by march.

Animated movies are sucessful to what both the adults(parents) and their kids both enjoy. Kids don't just make the decision on ticket sales, the adult makes the helping.

Holiday holds(keep in mind). It makes north of $80 million by Rogue One's release and it comes close to $90 million by New Years Eve. Awards nomination(if any) could help out.

[Maxmoser3]

2016 is likely to be the new record. We are 4% ahead of last year.
