I’m interested in the upcoming holiday season the most. So much potential in films. Also I’m thinking there’s a chance Silent Hill pulls an IT.

Friday, April 5th

Lilo and Stitch continue to dominate the box office with a -50.3% drop, which is great drop for an opening weekend over $100M. The film fell to a terrific $55.4M and currently sits over $190M at the box office. Look for it to hang on to its #1 spot next weekend. Penguins opened with a solid $8.2M and received an A rating from audiences. Who doesn’t love penguins. The film should hold until Earth Day. Student Film saw another terrific hold with $8.0M.

 

  1. Lilo and Stitch- $55,361,119 million (-50.3%)
  2. Penguins - $8,156,492 million
  3. Student Film- $8,018,531 million
  4. The Bronze Bow- 6,147,864 million
  5. The Storyteller - $3,341,657 million
  6. Earth Defense Force- $2,790,166 million
  7. Soul Calibur- $1,644,001 million
  8. And the Band Played On- $1,002,996 million
  9. My People- $744,940 million
  10. The Parvelli Reunion- $744,935 million

 

Friday, April 12th

Lilo and Stitch held on with $34.2M as the film continues its amazing run. It is now eyeing $250M, which it should crush next weekend. It has benefited greatly from a slow release schedule. The Lonely disappointed with $8.5M. Word of mouth from audiences was poor with a D-. The depressing film should fade out into the blackness over the next few weeks. Student Film shot into #3 with $5.8M and continues to make a name for itself. Penguins fell a better than average -33.0% with $5.5M.

 

  1. Lilo and Stitch- $34,192,901 million
  2. The Lonely – $8,513,337 million
  3. Student Film- $5,812,895 million
  4. Penguins- $5,464,926 milion (-33.0%)
  5. The Storyteller- $5,068,450 million
  6. The Bronze Bow- $3,979,564 milion
  7. Earth Defense Force- $1,618,997 million
  8. Soul Calibur- $857,070 million
  9. And the Band Played On- $722,855 million
  10. The Parvelli Reunion- $510,977 million

 

Friday, April 19th (Easter Weekend)

Easter weekend was red hot. Cataclysmic exploded with $86.0M. Excellent marketing and a box office draught helped the film reach these heights. Unfortunately, Spark 2 opens in just a few weeks so legs might be cut short. Still it is a major success story and audiences agreed with an A score. Battletoads opens with $26.9M, which is respectable given the family competition. Audiences enjoyed the film with a B+ score. It has an outside change to reach $100M if audiences keep turning out. Lilo and Stitch fell to $17.2M and is basically just throwing extra cash on its gigantic sum. The Bronze Bow surged due to the East weekend with $4.3M. The film has performed better than most religious films. The Lonely plummeted -65.8% with $2.9M. Another 60% drop next weekend is expected. Student Film fell outside of the Top 5 with $4.2M. It could pop back in next weekend given Penguins and The Bronze Bow’s primary dates are over (Earth Day and Easter).

 

  1. Cataclysmic – $86,003,584 million
  2. Battletoads - $26,912,224 million
  3. Lilo and Stitch- $17,180,345 million
  4. Penguins- $4,823,138 million
  5. The Bronze Bow- $4,336,550 million
  6. Student Film- $4,242,069 million
  7. The Lonely- $2,907,075 million (-65.8%)
  8. The Storyteller- $2,906,004 million
  9. Earth Defense Force- $695,534 million
  10. And the Band Played On- $503,452 million

 

Friday, April 26th

Cataclysmic dominated with a -43.4% drop. Audience definitely thought it was worth a strong second weekend. The film has pulled $48.7M on the eve of Spark 2. The film definitely needed a weekend like this. Cataclysmic has blasted past $150M domestic already and $200M should be locked even with Spark 2 opening next weekend. Battletoads fell gently -32.6% with $18.1M its second weekend. The film just slide past $50M domestic this weekend and $100M is kind of beginning to look slim. Unknown Sender opened with a slightly higher than forecasted $8.2M. RuPaul’s Best Friend Race bombed with $2.0M this weekend. The film will be out of theaters in 2 weeks. Lilo and Stitch fell to $12.0M

 

  1. Cataclysmic- $48,658,127 million (-43.4%)
  2. Battletoads- $18,128,431 million (-32.6%)
  3. Lilo and Stitch- $12,014,222 million
  4. Unknown Sender - $8,232,549 million
  5. Student Film- $3,558,120 million
  6. Penguins- $2,604,210 million

  8. RuPaul's Best Friend Race - $1,995,791 million
  9. The Storyteller- $1,800,851 million
  10. The Lonely- $1,050,143 million

Strong opening for Cataclysmic, should be looking at $250m or so. Battletoads was a tad disappointing but should hopefully leg out decently and at least get over $90m.

 

L&S might be able to make it to $350m if all goes well. I think around $325m is safest for it, though.

Disappointed in Battletoads since it got the best reviews out of all the GameVerse movies and It does make me a bit nervous for Crash 2 and Skylanders but it’s not all that bad. Stitch is doing $300M and My Peoples is at $175M. God of War, I really hope is a modest success, Howling Commandos I’m hope does well, Miraculous as long as it does $200M WW, I can find ways to continue the franchise, still betting on Pigeon to do bonkers. Hope it can pull a Sitting Ducks. 

 

Cataclysmic is doing really well and doing what I expected. However betting on Silent Hill to top it.

Friday, May 3rd

Spark: Homeward bound opens with a stunning $184.1M opening weekend. Summer has officially begun! Spark: Homeward not only broke ticket sales but also pulled one of the biggest opening weekends in years. The hyped sequel pulled a respectable A- from audiences and should continue to be a monster the next few weeks. Cataclysmic felt the punch of Spark 2 and dropped to $20.4M. After next weekend, Cataclysmic will face competition throughout the rest of the month. Battletoads also felt the impact of Spark 2 and dropped to $9.0M. Unlike Cataclysmic, Battletoads faces little to no competition for the rest of the month. It should stabilize over the next few weeks.

 

  1. Spark: Homeward – $184,115,091 million
  2. Cataclysmic- $20,428,884 million
  3. Battletoads- $9,015,690 million

  10. RuPaul’s Best Friend Race- $598,675 million (-70.0%)

 

Friday, May 10th (Mother’s Day Weekend)

Spark: Homeward to no surprise claimed #1 again. With a -60.2% drop, Spark 2 hauled $73.2M its second weekend. The drop was good considering how high it opened and Spark 2’s only real rival this month is He-Man 2 which opens at the end of the month. $400M+ is all but sealed. Cataclysmic fell to $11.0M and continues to perform well. Redeeming Love flopped with $6.2M opening weekend. The O$corp + DuVernay female film centric film is a rare miss fire for the duo. Their previous openings landed at $30.2M and $31.7M. No word if the duo is teaming up next year. Battletoads stabilized as expected with $5.6M and Lilo and Stitch remains in the Top 5 with $3.2M.

 

  1. Spark: Homeward- $73,237,234 million (-60.2%)
  2. Cataclysmic- $11,016,462 million

  9. The Bronze Bow- $548,800 million
  10. The Storyteller- $521,131 million

 

Friday, May 17th

BioShock slammed $59.1M opening weekend. Name brand and hype for the popular video game triggered this strong opening. Still, it was very front-loaded on Friday and audiences gave the film a B-. God of War opens next weekend as direct competition. Spark: Homeward got removed from #1 but still pulled an impressive $38.8M on its 3rd weekend. Under the Sea opened with $5.0M and thats pretty good considering we had three nature docs already this year. 

 

  1. BioShock - $59,118,020 million
  2. Spark: Homeward- $38,815,612 million
  3. Cataclysmic- $5,508,389 million

  8. Student Film- $1,035,292 million
  9. Penguins- $437,361 million
  10. The Unknown Sender- $347,749 million

 

Friday, May 24th (4-day Memorial Day Weekend)

God of War slammed $60.7M opening weekend and $71.8M over the long weekend. The film had an excellent marketing campaign and played itself as a fun popcorn action flick. Audiences gave the film a B+ however it faces He-Man II on its second weekend so legs are iffy. Spark: Homeward pulled $22.9M and $28.1M over the weekend. The film continues to impress. BioShock fell -68.2% over the weekend and racked in $18.8M/$22.8M. The film is struggling to reach a wider audience than gamers and die-hard fans. Zoldar got trampled by the crowded market and opened with $10.2M. Mediocre reviews didn’t help its case.

 

  1. God of War - $60,695,480 million/71,823,757 million/$78,509,472 million
  2. Spark: Homeward- $22,892,830 million/$28,125,003 million

  10. Student Film- $851,040 million/$1,025,300 million

 

Friday, May 31st

We weren’t joking when we reported May ticket sales were higher than last year. He-Man II opened with a strong $74.1M opening weekend. Considering all the competition over the past few weeks, this is impressive. Luckily for He-Man II, its got a week to make cash before The Odyssey 2 opens. God of War fell -63.85 with a $22.0 second weekend. This drop wasn’t a surprise to much. It still is performing well ahead of predictions. Spark: Homeward dipped to $10.3M and everything here out is gravy. Aerophobia failed to connect with audiences given its bizarre nature and opened with $6.6M.

 

  1. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor – $74,109,398 million
  2. God of War- $22,005,178 million (-63.8%)
  3. Spark: Homeward- $10,305,464 million
  4. BioShock- $8,260,010 million
  5. Aerophobia - $6,643,124 million
  6. Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $4,443,198 million (-56.3%)
  7. Battletoads- $1,431,239 million
  8. Cataclysmic- $1,375,025 million

Friday, June 7th

He-Man II lead the box office with $30.6M as the overall box office cooled after a red hot May. Ripper opened with $23.5M and was welcomed with positive reviews. Being different than most of the Year 3 summer films will help it in the weeks to come. Dan the Alpaca opened with $21.1M, which isn’t terrible even if it is below expectations. It should see a similar story as Ripper.

 

  1. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $30,557,171 million (-58.8%)
  2. Ripper - $23,451,500 million
  3. Dan the Alpaca - $21,119,482 million
  4. God of War- $11,156,003 million
  5. Spark: Homeward- $5,974,585 million
  6. BioShock- $4,076,439 million
  7. Aerophobia- $3,168,995 million (-52.3%)
  8. Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $2,202,621 million
  9. Cataclysmic- $842,680 million
  10. Battletoads- $703,329 million

 

Friday, June 14th  (My Birthday too! :) )

The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead smashed $161.3M opening weekend. The acclaimed sequel was highly anticipated by fans of the first. The film should see a nice long run in the weeks to come thanks to an A rating from audiences. Ripper dipped to $14.2M, which is very promising and Dan the Alpaca fell to $12.5M. The rest of the films fell harder do to Odyssey 2 stealing most moviegoers

 

  1. The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead – $161,285,727 million
  2. Ripper- $14,168,994 million (-39.6%)
  3. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $12,865,099 million
  4. Dan the Alpaca- $12,461,843 million (-41.0%)
  5. God of War- $4,298,777 million

  7. BioShock- $1,564,534 million
  8. Aerophobia- $1,425,001 million
  9. Zoldar: Warrior Beast from Outer Space- $976,332 million
  10. Battletoads- $514,706 million

Friday, June 21st

The Odyssey 2 dominated with $77.1M on its second weekend. It should be a close battle between Spark 2 and Odyssey 2 for biggest film of the summer. Second Wind: Stormy Seas opened with an expected $15.6M and Finding Gobi opened with $9.7M. Audiences apparently decided to see Odyssey 2 or take a weekend off from seeing films.

 

  1. The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $77,055,329 million (-52.2%)
  2. Second Wind: Stormy Seas - $15,555,296 million

  8. Spark: Homeward- $1,837,654 million
  9. BioShock- $798,116 million
  10. Aerophobia- $791,007 million

 

Friday, June 28th

Call of Duty opened below expectations with $45.1M opening weekend. Action films have dominated May and it appears audiences are tired. Mixed reviews didn’t help either. Audiences gave the film a B and legs are very much up in the air. Still it avoided being as front-loaded on Friday as BioShock so that’s promising. The Odyssey 2 pulled $40.2M on its third weekend. Amazing number and that’s a fact. Hills Abductions opened with a better than expected $15.4M. The sci-fi mockumentary provided to be something different for moviegoers.

 

  1. Call of Duty - $45,079,144 million
  2. The Odyssey: The Counsel of the Dead- $40,168,345 million
  3. Hills Abduction - $15,433,142 million
  4. Second Wind: Stormy Seas- $7,232,118 million (-53.5%)
  5. Finding Gobi- $5,430,007 million (-44.0%)
  6. Ripper- $5,195,606 million
  7. Dan the Alpaca- $5,022,783 million
  8. He-Man II: The Revenge of Skeletor- $3,710,219 million
  9. God of War- $1,049,527 million
  10. Spark: Homeward- $914,988 million

Man, looks like Odyssey will get over $450m as well, and $500m isn’t out of the cards.

 

And here is my guess for Top 15 of Y3’s first half:

 

1. The Odyssey 2 - $525m

2. Spark: Homeward - $470m

3. Lilo and Stitch - $325m

4. Cataclysmic - $255m

5. He-Man 2: $205m

6. My Peoples - $185m

7. Earth Defense Force - $170m

8. God of War - $165m

9. Call of Duty - $140m

10. BioShock - $130m

11. Student Film - $120m

12. Conductive - $95m

13. Battletoads - $90m

14. Ripper - $85m

15. Dan the Alpaca - $75m
