Im putting money on Earthsong bombing

Reviews are still in the positive range overall and it's the first female-oriented film since late February, so I doubt it. Maybe bad legs from disappointment in the ending.

If something happens to Odysseus, then Principal Bailey is going down with him.

 

They are one in the same.

CHAPTER 5: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

 

May 1-3: 'Gauntlet of Midas' Turns Up Fool's Gold

While the first film performed well, it was a question how the first sequel to a live action re-imagining would do in CAYOM. The first answer isn't too promising. Without strong reviews and more energy put into the studio's earlier releases in the year ('Blue and Gold' and 'Can You Imagine' especially), 'Gauntlet of Midas' opened to a disappointing $63.3m, considering the lucrative slate. The film at least managed an A- Cinemascore, so the sail could maybe be set for a decently leggy run. 'Growth' fell fairly hard due to mixed WOM, including from families, while the top 10 got pretty weak as time went on. Things got hit fairly hard by the first week of May, but some films were able to retain much of the audience TP2 would have stolen.

  1. Treasure Planet: Gauntlet of Midas - $63,271,014 (NEW)
  2. Our City: Growth - $19,420,781 (2nd week) (-48.3%)
  3. Mass Effect - $11,141,768 (4th week) (-41.2%)
  4. Can You Imagine - $9,870,438 (6th week) (-39.2%)
  5. Earth Day - $4,495,375 (3rd week) (-58.2%)
  6. Pillars of Eternity: The Hollow Vale - $1,995,013 (8th week) (-40.5%)
  7. Safari Trail - $1,417,080 (5th week) (-37.7%)
  8. Marked Up Time - $1,331,084 (7th week) (-42.8%)
  9. Carnosaur - $646,759 (6th week) (-47.1%)
  10. One Piece: The Journey Begins - $631,742 (8th week) (-46.0%)

May 8-10: 'Earthsong' Tops The Charts

With breathtaking visuals, a female focus, and more excitement, 'Earthsong' opened a little bit above expectations, scoring $57.1m, in spite of more lukewarm reviews. However, the film did recieved mixed WOM regarding its ending, reflecting in the relatively weak B+ Cinemascore. We will have to see how it holds on. TP2 dropped a bit but otherwise held well in the face of 'Earthsong', while 'Can You Imagine' dropped under 20% for the first time, offsetting 'Mass Effect' (which is otherwise stabilizing and looking to cross $250m.) Thanks to the female focus, many theaters also re-released 'The Female Man', which got a fairly decent expansion.

  1. Earthsong; Volume I - Haven's Guard - $57,096,883 (NEW)
  2. Treasure Planet: Gauntlet of Midas - $28,435,366 (2nd week) (-55.1%)
  3. Our City: Growth - $12,616,984 (3rd week) (-34.3%)
  4. Can You Imagine - $7,943,255 (7th week) (-19.6%)
  5. Mass Effect - $7,201,563 (5th week) (-35.4%)
  6. Earth Day - $2,167,729 (4th week) (-51.8%)
  7. Pillars of Eternity: The Hollow Vale - $1,283,056 (9th week) (-35.7%)
  8. Safari Trail - $1,168,303 (5th week) (-17.6%)
  9. Marked Up Time - $879,626 (8th week) (-33.9%)
  10. The Female Man - $834,347 (11th week)  (+215.7%) 

Mary 15-17: The Holdovers are Mightier than The Pen

The first weekend since the Super Bowl not to have a film over $25m. Earthsong's mixed reviews made for a harsher than expected drop, while the two openers didn't make much of a splash. Horror fans were drawn to Eli Roth, making 'Murky' a smaller breakout, but even that wasn't too impressive, while 'Frindle' did okay given its basis as a popular youth book. Probably won't set the world on fire but families do have worse options. I don't know, this weekend is boring. The openers had cinemascores of C- for Murky and A- for Frindle.

  1. Earthsong; Volume I - Haven's Guard - $24,071,682 (2nd week) (-57.8%)
  2. Treasure Planet: Gauntlet of Midas - $16,156,709 (2nd week) (-43.2%)
  3. Murky - $12,195,733 (NEW)
  4. Frindle - $9,703,428 (NEW)
  5. Our City: Growth - $8,190,227 (4th week) (-35.1%)
  6. Can You Imagine - $6,013,418 (8th week) (-24.3%)
  7. Mass Effect - $4,953,520 (6th week) (-31.2%)
  8. Earth Day - $1,132,610 (5th week) (-47.7%)
  9. Pillars of Eternity: The Hollow Vale - $923,004 (10th week) (-28.1%)
  10. Safari Trail - $736,659 (6th week) (-36.9%)

May 22-25: 'American Dragon' Breathes Fire into Holiday Weekend

He's cool, he's hot, and he's number one.

Well praised, it raised 71 million.

@Xillix should be braggin',

For the American Dragon!

 

'Cabana Boys' also struck well, despite critics' satiety,

Probably just due to a lack of comedy.

  10. Pillars of Eternity: The Hollow Vale - $550,378/$674,192 (11th week) (-41.2%)

May 29-31: 'Norris', 'Neeson', and 'Ness' Nab Next in Order

'Chuck Norris & Liam Neeson' got to town and managed a decent sum of $14.2m. The crazy premise drew in audiences who otherwise would have scoffed, and with the B Cinemascore, they are a little bit divided, but may be in it for the long haul. 'Dragon' was able to easily repeat and could go far given its strong reception, while we actually managed to avoid any films under $2m for once! Yay!

  1. American Dragon: Darkness Rising - $34,157,986 (2nd week) (-52.0%)

Yep, expected this (Midas underperforming, CB and Earthsong breaking out) but I'm really surprised at American Dragon 2 , should do about the same as Bounty Hamster ($237M).Wonder how the rest of the summer family films fare (Brave (seems like a prime candidate for an underperformance tbh, HSM4 might breakout but frontloaded, Amulet II seems likely for either way due to length)

 

Surprised at the decent legs GOM is having, should ultimately end around $180M-$200M DOM and considering how big of surprise hits Blue and Gold and Can You Imagine were I'm okay with this underperforming especially as OS will help.
