When you calculate the domestic totals, do you increase the film's totals by 30% or 35%?

I calculate week by week since it often depends on summer/non-summer and if specific holidays occur like Spring Break, Easter, Halloween etc.

April 6-8:

 

Audiences Refuse to Read the ‘Screwtape Letters’

 

With scathing reviews and an “F” cinemascore from audiences, “The Screwtape Letters” had a disastrous opening at the box office. Fans of the book were outraged, critics were baffled, general audiences even more so. It sounds like a movie that’s going to have its name shouted in the streets a few years from now by contrarian hipsters who berate you for just not getting Darren Aronofsky’s genius. Regardless, the film debuted under $7 million dollars. As audiences avoided it in droves, “The Knight” remained on top even with a somewhat steep drop. “Academy” also started dropping as college audiences return to class.

 

  1. The Knight - $23,755,102 (-54.9%)
  2. Action Movie - $9,754,530 (-47.8%)
  3. On the Beach - $8,347,937 (-39.1%)
  4. Torrential - $7,155,196 (-40.2%)
  5. The Screwtape Letters - $6,617,481
  6. Academy - $5,179,224 (-53.3%)
  7. The Twenty-One Balloons - $3,097,276 (-31.3%)
  8. The Human Revolution - $1,981,625 (-25.6%)
  9. Cello - $1,205,623 (-51.8%)
  10. Illusiono - $607,129 (-40.2%)

 

Top 10 gross: $67,701,123 (-43.5%)


 

April 13-15:

 

‘Skeleton’ Welcomes Many Patients over Friday the 13th, ‘Gorillas’ Solid Per Genre

 

Horror films tend to do well on Friday the 13th, and “Skeleton Crew” was no exception. The film opened to a staggering $15 million on Friday but per nature dropped fast and closed the weekend with just over $30 million, which is still a very solid number. Audience reception was a bit mixed, giving it a “B” cinemascore, but praise was leveled at its scenario and unrestrained gore effects. The nature documentary “Gorillas” opened to $9 million, enough for third place.

 

  1. The Skeleton Crew - $30,139,649
  2. The Knight - $15,199,772 (-36.0%)
  3. Gorillas - $9,176,719
  4. Action Movie - $5,660,236 (-41.2%)
  5. On the Beach - $5,634,857 (-32.5%)
  6. Torrential - $4,711,138 (-34.2%)
  7. Academy - $2,221,748 (-57.1%)
  8. The Screwtape Letters - $2,149,272 (-67.5%)
  9. The Twenty-One Balloons - $1,891,572 (-38.9%)
  10. The Human Revolution - $1,098,573 (-44.6%)

 

Top 10 gross: $77,883,536 (+15.0%)


 

April 20-22:

 

‘Dragon’, ‘Bounty’ Collect Late Spring Coin

 

After two months of no competition outside last week’s “Gorillas”, starved family audiences finally found an oasis in the desert in the form of “American Dragon: Jake Long”. Kids and adults alike responded in kind, giving it an “A” cinemascore. That should bode well for further business, but with the anticipated “Our City” coming the very next week (very unfortunate scheduling, some analysts say) competition is going to be fierce. “Bounty Hunters from Heaven” opened to $15 million, a bit above what some predicted. Reviews were mixed and audience reaction was the same, giving it a “B-” cinemascore. “Gorillas” actually saw a slight increase thanks to Earth Day, but is likely going to drop harshly afterwards.

 

  1. American Dragon: Jake Long - $48,541,222
  2. Bounty Hunters from Heaven - $15,706,334
  3. Skeleton Crew - $11,469,134 (-61.9%)
  4. Gorillas - $9,472,391 (+3.2%)
  5. The Knight - $8,104,673 (-46.7%)
  6. On the Beach - $3,933,130 (-30.2%)
  7. Torrential - $3,089,128 (-34.4%)
  8. Action Movie - $2,766,194 (-51.1%)
  9. Academy - $1,019,572 (-54.1%)
  10. The Twenty-One Balloons - $797,185 (-57.9%)

 

Top 10 gross: $104,898,963 (+34.7%)


 

April 27-29:

 

‘City’ Brings Summer Heights Early

 

The critically lauded “Our City” opened to $65 million, making it the second highest opening of the year so far after “The Human Revolution”. While its late April release date seemed suspicious at first, audiences will turn out for good and appealing films regardless of release date. The film received an “A” cinemascore and with no family competition until “Bounty Hamster” it should play very well in the first few weeks of May. Far, far lower on the scale was “The 120 Days of Sodom” which got a collected reaction from critics, audiences and the wider sphere in general in the form of a straight “NO!”. However, because of the top-heavy nature of the box office so far this year, the film still made the top 10.

 

  1. Our City - $65,153,581
  2. American Dragon: Jake Long - $22,592,873 (-53.5%)
  3. Bounty Hunters from Heaven - $6,690,551 (-57.4%)
  4. Skeleton Crew - $5,543,687 (-51.7%)
  5. The Knight - $5,002,961 (-38.3%)
  6. On the Beach - $2,961,647 (-24.7%)
  7. Gorillas - $2,760,584 (-70.9%)
  8. Torrential - $2,444,681 (-20.9%)
  9. Action Movie - $1,333,672 (-51.8%)
  10. The 120 Days of Sodom - $765,910

 

Top 10 gross: $115,250,147 (+9.8%)

Here’s a crazy thought: Pokémon over War Of The Gods.

Na, I couldn't happen! But......

 

 

As for May, I am thinking we will not have an over 60M opening weekend film. Just a hunch. Only Road to El Dorado will open with over 50M.

May 4-6:

 

‘Inferno’ Sets Box Office Ablaze

 

A high-budget remake of one of the most iconic disaster pictures of all time is going to catch people’s attention, and the 21st-century rendition of “The Towering Inferno” sure did. Opening to $83 million, unseating “The Human Revolution” as the biggest opener of the year so far, “Inferno” is already a massive success for Gold Crescent Pictures. With positive reviews and lack of direct competition before “The Road to El Dorado”, this should hold just fine. Audiences in general were pleased, giving the film a “B+” cinemascore. Once again though, the top heavy nature of the box office made the lower ranks a complete wasteland, the #10 film even grossing under $700,000.

 

  1. The Towering Inferno - $83,141,878
  2. Our City - $37,591,019 (-42.3%)
  3. American Dragon: Jake Long - $15,033,655 (-33.5%)
  4. Bounty Hunters From Heaven - $2,951,073 (-55.9%)
  5. Skeleton Crew - $2,602,195 (-53.1%)
  6. The Knight - $2,562,919 (-48.8%)
  7. On the Beach - $1,477,862 (-50.1%)
  8. Torrential - $1,132,682 (-53.7%)
  9. Gorillas - $1,043,129 (-62.2%)
  10. Action Movie - $650,139 (-51.3%)

 

Top 10 gross: $148,186,551 (+28.6%)


 

May 11-13:

 

‘Inferno’ Keeps Burning, ‘Witch’ Enchants In Second Place

 

The summer continues with “The Towering Inferno” and “The Witch of Blackbird Pond” inhabiting first and second place respectively. While critical reviews were mixed, audience reception was in “Witch”’s favor, giving it an “A-” cinemascore. With little in the way of non-blockbuster competition in the next few weeks, analysts expect “Witch” to quietly hold well.

 

  1. The Towering Inferno - $40,325,813 (-51.5%)
  2. The Witch of Blackbird Pond - $31,682,013
  3. Our City - $28,199,582 (-25.0%)
  4. American Dragon: Jake Long - $10,417,677 (-30.7%)
  5. Bounty Hunters from Heaven - $1,966,644 (-33.4%)
  6. The Knight - $1,930,549 (-24.7%)
  7. Skeleton Crew - $1,533,440 (-40.3%)
  8. On the Beach - $1,177,856 (-20.3%)
  9. Torrential - $970,522 (-14.3%)
  10. Gorillas - $875,193 (-16.1%)

‘Hamster’ Collects Box Office Bounty

 

“Meanwhile, on the other side of the Universe” - Hourglass Pictures’ “Bounty Hamster” kept summer buzz going with a hefty $67 million opening gross, a very impressive result for an adaptation of an ultimately obscure cartoon from the early 2000s. Part of this can be chalked up to cartoon adaptations wether live action or animation being all the rage in the current box office climate, just look at:

 

The Adventures of Scrooge McDuck ($300 million)

He-Man ($170 million)

Voltron: Defenders of the Universe ($320 million)

ReBoot ($210 million)

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron ($135 million)

 

To name a few. A clever marketing campaign highlighting the zany nature of the film is also said to be a major factor, plus taking advantage of an early summer lacking in post-release family competition which the film would not have if it opened against December’s “Voltron: Rise of Lotor” like originally intended. Regardless, audiences gave the film an “A” cinemascore, indicating that very strong legs and a possible sequel (like the film cheekily hints at near its end) are in store.

 

  1. Bounty Hamster - $67,163,774
  2. The Towering Inferno - $24,791,540 (-38.5%)
  3. The Witch of Blackbird Pond - $16,559,104 (-47.7%)
  4. Our City - $14,099,336 (-50.0%)
  5. American Dragon: Jake Long - $5,179,444 (-50.3%)
  6. Bounty Hunters from Heaven - $1,335,868 (-32.1%)
  7. The Knight - $1,200,698 (-37.8%)
  8. On the Beach - $1,005,876 (-14.6%)
  9. Torrential - $796,592 (-17.9%)
  10. Skeleton Crew - $677,195 (-55.8%)

May 25-28 (Memorial Day):

 

‘El Dorado’ Glimmers With Memorial Day Gold, ‘Life’ Dies

 

Who said anything about it being tough to be a god? Not Cookie Pictures as they racked up their second Memorial Day victory in a row. If there’s one thing that’s a hot item other than adaptations of TV cartoons, its adaptations of big screen cartoons as well. Despite the 2000 original failing at the box office, the Year 2 remake eclipsed the original film’s entire adjusted run in only four days. Part of this can be explained by nostalgia but also the marketing capitalizing big time on the goodwill of Cookie Pictures’ previous cartoon adaptation “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame”, which was a massive box office and awards bonanza just this past December. Even audiences who weren’t familiar with the original were drawn in by the love they had for “Hunchback” (which just went on sale on DVD and Blu-Ray to coincide with “El Dorado”’s release) and while reception were nowhere near as phenomenal as “Hunchback” audiences seemed to have a good time, giving “El Dorado” an “A-” cinemascore. Bewildered by the massive success, Cookie Pictures has told Box Office Report that a sequel is already put in motion for a possible Year 4 release, tentatively titled “The Road to Shangri-La”.

 

While this week saw riches for most releases - both “Bounty Hamster” and “The Towering Inferno” dropped under forty percent - it also saw the first real box office disaster of the year in the form of “Life After Death” which was either shunned or laughed out of most theaters. The Ron Howard-directed thriller received scathing reviews and audience reaction wasn’t far behind giving it a pathetic “D+” cinemascore. In fact its results were so embarrassing for O$corp Pictures that as early as Monday it was eclipsed by the studio’s two week old release “The Witch of Blackbird Pond”.

 

  1. The Road to El Dorado - $81,095,682 / $97,646,192
  2. Bounty Hamster - $40,870,145 / $52,055,181 (-39.1% / -22.5%)
  3. The Towering Inferno - $16,111,685 / $20,102,571 (-35.0% / -18.9%)
  4. Life After Death - $12,550,012 / 15,866,110
  5. The Witch of Blackbird Pond - $12,145,714 / $15,508,641 (-26.7% / -6.3%)
  6. Our City - $10,787,520 / $13,915,166 (-23.5% / -1.3%)
  7. American Dragon: Jake Long - $3,099,447 / $3,901,672 (-40.2% / -24.7%)
  8. The Knight - $1,009,581 / $1,214,671 (-15.9% / +1.2%)
  9. On the Beach - $802,659 / $974,540 (-20.2% / -3.1%)
  10. Bounty Hunters from Heaven - $733,119 / $870,444 (-45.1% / -34.8%)

 

Top 10 gross: $179,205,564 / $222,055,188 (+34.9% / +67.2%)

Great run for BH so far! With virtually nothing big for families until....Pokemon, it should have a nice, healthy run at the box office. $250m could be on the table, and maybe even $300m if it can survive what comes in June. Me and My Shadow legs give it $264m.
