Nice number.

Wow 23.9 is huge, #12 highest monday ever, and #7 best non-holiday Monday.

[a2k]

Now the 2018 Dom chart has 4 CBMs on top - BP, AIW, DP2, I2 - as I2 goes over Solo and AQP.

Huge first Monday gross for an animated film. Whether $23.9M or $24.1M, the ~54% drop seems right after a 10.8% Sunday hold. It is commensurate to Toy Story 3 dropping 51% after a 13.5% Sunday hold.

 

Peace,

Looks like Incredibles 2 is going to have a strong first Monday. I hope to catch it soon. I'm hearing good word of mouth from people around me.

PS - Man, Niagara Falls in Canada is everything people say it is...they aren't joking (riding that boat into the spray - dang, one of the coolest things, both literally and figuratively, I've ever done:)...

It is for sure! My wife and I did the Canadian side visit to Niagara Falls two years ago. Really great trip!

Super hero fatigue is real, alive and well

Superhero movies are the only things keeping the box office afloat this year.

Incredible.

Those movies kept summer 2016 afloat too.

[Mojoguy]

So how far will Incredibles 2 go?

Most years for the past decade if we are being honest. 

 

Those calling for superhero fatigue to set in are actually calling for a collapse of the industry. Not saying movies will stop, I'm saying it'll be like a big recession hits and trickles down through Hollywood. All the TV shows, cartoons, gaming etc will be affected if people actually en masse lose their taste for superhero fare.

@TwoMisfits..I live about 2 hours away from Niagara Falls and haven't been there for about a decade.  But you are both right, it's a breathtaking trip, especially the Maid of the Mist.  Because of you both, I'm going to make sure I get out there this summer.  Niagara Falls really is a great place to visit.

The only fatigue I get is fatigue from people claiming or wanting superhero fatigue

I see what you mean but there are films like Ready Player One, Peter Rabbit, Quiet Place, 50 Shades, Rampage, I Can Only Imagine, O8, book Club, Blockers and Insidious that have done pretty well.

Somewhere between 500 and 700 million.

Pretty well vs blockbuster money though. I'm sure theater owners feel the difference.

Yes, you are correct.  I guess I was looking at it from a WW perspective.  But domestically you are correct.  

 

But here's the thing, yes super hero movies rule the roost right now, but every year you are going to have those medium sized blockbusters that fill in the gaps.  Not every film is going to make 300 million and fewer still are going to be true monsters.  So films like Rampage and RPO are very good for theatres, in fact, I'd say they did pretty much what people had hoped they would.  So supe r hero movies are dominant, but the films that come in between, at least some of them, are doing what they are supposed to be doing.

no they wouldn't... they would just watch other things. the box office overall would not change hugely.

A Quiet Place has done amazingly well nearly 200M for a horror film is excellent. Think you will see the superhero dominance be slightly mitigated from now onwards in the year... Jurassic Park coming this week, Mission impossible in July, some original tentpole films Meg & Skyscraper, and you have Mamma Mia as well which is something different that should do well. Then in the holiday period at the end of the year there are a ton of big movies that don't involve superheroes
