It is the biggest of the franchise WW and it keeps going. I think Paramount might greenlight another one.

 

The problem is that almost half it's WW total is from China where they not only get only 25% of theatrical the post theatrical revenues are almost non existent.

The movie was already profitable last week, even though it'll make less than the first, it's still a hit.

 

 

Yup, it is a hit but it is no longer a phenomenon. They cashed in big on the first movie but there is no breakout sequel.

I think if it can keep the budget the same or lower, another xXx film could happen but it hasn't done great in most places which might give Paramount pause for thought.

xXx 4 before Star Trek 4?  

xXx is just 35M below Beyond WW. It will beat it in the end LMAO!!!! Star Trek had a 185M budget against a 85M budget of xXx. xXx is also the biggest of the franchise. If I were Paramount, I would already be in talks with Diesel and Yen for a xXx 4 set in China.

Considering Universal didn't bankroll The Great Wall they're having an exceptional 2017, with tons of potential left. A Dog's Purpose doubled its production cost domestically a couple days ago, and Split is about to do 14x its production cost domestically.

[filmlover]

The numbers for the openers range from to mediocre to crappy. No surprise there.

 

Totals look to be $180M for LEGO Batman, $115M for Fifty Shades, and $85M for John Wick. Solid all around.

 

Hidden Figures, Split, and La La Land are still killing it.

I imagine Universal wasn't expecting it to break out, the audience isn't broad enough. They only spent $55m plus marketing so they're getting a good ROI.

In terms of comps, Lego Batman will have a weekend around 3-4M ahead of Spongebob and a running total which is also 3-4M ahead. Probably headed for a  170-175M finish. 50SD will be around 3.5M ahead of The Vow coming off a weekend which is 4M lower. Headed for around 115-120M or so finish.

[MrPink]

I will accept 18 million for the Great Wall.

The UK is massive in comparison with the other territories, it's like only English-speaking territories love the movie.....

Universal is only distributing A Dog's Purpose in the US, it's more of a hit for Amblin Partners.

 

The Great Wall is a loser for Legendary, they better hope Kong does well.
