Eric Atreides Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/05/spiral-demon-slayer-weekend-box-office-1234762411/ Quote The domestic box office isn’t going to get interesting until next weekend when Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II and Disney’s Cruella launch the summer season. From that point on, we largely won’t have any weekends where the major studios are taking a break from releasing wide entries, which is the case this weekend as Lionsgate’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw repeats in its second frame with $1.38M yesterday, -63%, and an expected 3-day of $4.7M, -46% (actually a pretty good hold for a horror film which typically drops -60% or greater) and a running total of $15.9M. Spiral is booked at 2,997 theaters (+186). All the action is overseas where Universal’s F9 is heading to $160M this weekend in 8 markets, charged by China where it’s set to become the second biggest opener for the studio and the Fast franchise, already counting $105M. F9 parks itself at U.S. theaters on June 25. Spiral should ultimately hit $30M at the domestic B.O. In addition, Funimation/Aniplex’s Demon Slayer, has officially become the second-highest grossing anime film at the domestic B.O. behind Warner Bros.’ 1999 film Pokemon ($85.7M) and overtaking 2000’s Pokemon 2 ($43.7M) with $43.956M through yesterday. The Haruo Sotozaki directed feature hopes to hook 5th place this weekend with $1.34M in its 5th frame, -31%, with a running total of $44.9M by Sunday at 1,800 locations (-130). A $50M final domestic gross is within reason. No. 2 for the weekend is MGM/United Artists Releasing/Miramax’s Guy Ritchie movie Wrath of Man with a third Friday of $818K, -22%, at 3,007 locations on its way to a 3-day of $2.9M, -21% for a running total of $18.78M. The pic is headed for $25M stateside. No. 3 belongs to Bron/New Line’s Angelina Jolie action thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead which did around $560K yesterday, for an estimated second weekend of $1.7M, -39%, and a $5.4M running total. Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon, which is also available on Disney+ Premier at $29.99, is ranking 4th this weekend with an estimated $1.68M, -1%, in its 12th session at 2,375 (+90) and a running total of $48.3M. Other highlights from this weekend: Bleecker Street’s Toni Collette drama Dream Horse, which made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last year, grossed around $261K yesterday at 1,254 theaters on its way to an estimated FSS of $796K for a $634 theater average. Rotten Tomatoes was 91% fresh from critics with solid PostTrak exits of 81% positive and a 57% recommend. Females turned out at 62%, with 85% over 25, 66% over 35 and 45% over 45 years old. Diversity breakdown was 70% Caucasian, 16% Hispanic, 6% Black and 8% Asian/other. The most active business came from the West and Midwest. Other limited releases include NEON’s Spanish-language Michel Franco-directed drama thriller New Order at 236 locations which earned an estimated $49K for a projected 3-day of $155K ($657 theater average), Focus Features’ Luke Holland documentary Final Account at 308 sites which opened to $45K for a $150K weekend ($486 theater average), and IFC’s Eric Bana Australian thriller, a hit Down Under, The Dry with $35,5Kon Friday at 186 venues, a $113K 3-day for a $608 theater average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Again Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Raya keeps on keeping on, that Tenet target is very real. DS continues holding pretty well — this is actually the record anime 5th weekend, pretty sure. Finally over Pikachu at the same point. Very sleep weekend overall though, yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we have studios ests tomorrow gonna do an updated post with current gross and projected finish for stuff going over 30M DOM — seems like WoM could actually make it there.

titanic2187 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Most of them hold well for an obvious reason. Even MK is posting some solid hold. As for GvK, with that small drop, I don't think it will need to crawl past 100m, probably finish at 102m-103m if WW84 is any guide. Raya is having its 6th weekend of 1m+, it was previously drop to 1.38m but Mother Day's expansion mean it have to redo its decline. 1.) Spiral (LG) 2,991 theaters (+180) Fri $1.4M/Sat $1.9M/Sun $1.2M/3-day $4.55M (-48%)/Total: $15.8M/ Wk 2 2.) Wrath of Man (UAR) 3,007 theaters /Fri $818K/Sat $1.28M/Sun $834K/3-day $2.9M (-21%)/Total: $18.8M Wk 3 3.) Those Who Wish Me Dead (WB) 3,379 theaters (+191)/3-day $1.8M (-35%)/ Total: $5.5M/Wk 2 4.) Raya and the Last Dragon (Dis) 2,375 theaters (+90), Fri $414K/Sat $725K/Sun $523k/ 3-day: $1.66M (-2%), Total: $48.3M/Wk 12 5.)

charlie Jatinder Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) GvK I guess $105-110M. Canada opening whenever may take above KoTM INT total was $332.1M last week. Will probably do $10-15M in Europe release. $3-4M in current fiddle markets, giving it $345-350M. Now if Japan could lend $40M or Europe overperforms a bit, it can still get $500M.

filmlover Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Scoob!'s numbers seem rather decent considering it was released for home viewing a year ago (when its original theatrical release was cancelled) and it was added to the theater release schedule at the last minute. Might have made a couple of million had they put any effort into selling it despite no longer actually being a "new" movie given that the family marketplace has been completely empty since Raya.

charlie Jatinder Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Demon Slayer had unusually big weekdays for some reason, almost $1.4M after a weekend of $1.92M. This is after having bad weekdays last week. Anyhow, if this manage 30% drops for coming weeks, has a shot at $50M. Ofcourse, if any week has weekdays like last week, that will help things a lot.

Krissykins Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 With “Spiral” at #1 again, the Saw franchise officially passes $1bn. The most expensive one to make was $17m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterpepp Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Probably a random boring fun fact, but I believe this is the first time ever that a Saw movie has been #1 at the domestic box office for more than one weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
