It broke the record for a video game adaptation and made more than anyone could have realistically hoped. Sonic is benefiting from the VG movie craze that Pikachu started (that is why the wisest box office watchers saw this explosion coming). its still a few millions off, its at 433m, while Warcraft is at 439m.

So its +425% with $1.84mn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu did decently (unrealistic expectations prior notwithstanding) but it takes more than one movie for there to be a "video game movie crazy".

With 1.75, 7-8 million is doable. Crazy considering that it’s already out on home video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid for Fantasy Island, horror needed a $10m+ opener. And it’s budget was $7m. Will make a quick $25-30m and be profitable in ancillaries. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because while the billion dollar predictions were silly 750m was possible if they didn't screw up. Keeping their slot the week after End Game was so stupid. They knew Infinity War did over 2B and at worst it would equal that. It underperformed by 150m in Asia and 300m WW from an optimal performance. I think 850 was peak. It did barely half that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you expected $450M worldwide for Jumanji3, does it mean that it is now the hit of the century? Pikachu did better than any video game movie ever in the US, so it is extremely strange to try and make it look like a failure just because Sonic is doing amazing. This level of analysis is why the Franchise War should still be open, because that is where it belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Birds of Prey getting under 50% would be a nice improvement. Very solid VD Friday for it. That Jumanji number though, omg I want to faint lol such good numbers we are spoiled tracking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think everything else may either dip or increase slightly. Edited February 15, 2020 by AdrianL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mixed bag; Lego Movie +58% Robocop +21% About Last Night -38% Monuments Men +20% Endless Love -52% Frozen +42% The obvious date movies decreased, but even Robocop which was in it's first weekend increased from Valentine's Day. And family films clearly were not as effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
