It's going to make around Shazam profit for them. That would be alright if it was the first film of the franchise but considering the steep decline, there is nothing Illumination should be celebrating about. Not a huge hit either way. A moderate hit at best and a dead franchise.

Yep, they were really hoping this can take over Despicable me for them (especially since that franchise will have diminishing returns as well, very soon), it's not turning out well, hard to spin this as a win.

Embarrassing for DP and SLOP 2. How mighty have fallen. 

[titanic2187]

just in case someone cares, Aladdin'S SOuth Korea friday number jumped 125% from last friday as it looking to increase at least 40% from 2nd week. But it wont get number 1 spot there.

 

This is like Bohemian Rhapsody and Frozen all over again in SK

Only one man can save this box-office slump.

Lol, he’s going straight to Netflix here in the UK.

Honestly, the box office is so depressing this year, I have no clue what’s going on. Pretty much everything that isn’t Disney is underperforming, and that is incredibly alarming.

 

Hoping for something good from 2020 to set us up for a good decade.

Disney isn't stopping other major studios from making money, the big budgeted non-Disney blockbuster films that are suffering this year are mainly cus of them not being good enough or having a mediocre marketing campaign/release schedule.

 

Also there's Spider-Man Far From Home next month, a non-Disney blockbuster that will make over a billion dollars.

Deadline always does this. They always try and argue that the initial tracking is where the movie ends up. Endgame could have done 3M in previews, and Deadline would have still said "It's on track for a massive 300M weekend" lol

Tbf, its 'true' weekend was $297M so they weren't wrong...

I just find it funny the only surprise success we've had so far this year (The Upside) is for a movie from a now dead studio that sat on the shelf for nearly a year and a half until somebody rescued it.

[Krissykins]

The SLOP performance is not surprising considering it’s opening weekend in the UK two weeks ago

People are losing interest in stuff quicker than ever. The past 3-4 years we've seen sequels to movies as new as less than two years bleeding a significant portion of the audience due to the originals just fading into home video oblivion with no lasting impact once their theatrical runs were over. I'd say studios should be warned but they'll probably just continue to throw stuff out there in hopes something will eventually stick.

A french journalist just released a book and the subject matter/premise is this :

 

thx to/because of technology/the Internet/computers/smarphones/texts/social networks/Apps etc,

the human brain is starting to de-evolve and we will soon have the attention capabilities of a gold fish.

Endgame

Alladin

TS4

Spiderman 3

TLK 

 

will be the top films till August lol

So, the only things holding a cracking-at-the-seams box office together are a handful of mega-tentpoles, most of which come from Disney. If people lose interest even in them, cinema will implode in less than 10 years, or even quicker.

FFH is affiliated to a Disney brand though.

eh that is an exception...

 

Far From Home is only doing a billion being tied to the MCU really. 

[Jonwo]

Although SLOP was a huge hit, it didn’t really crack the mainstream like Despicable Me did. If anything it’s a good wake up call for Illumination not to rest on their laurels.

The movie is 100% made at Marvel Studios from top to bottom.
