Sony deserves credit for a successful Venom franchise and Into the Spider-verse.

 

But it was also smart to let Spidey play in the MCU sandbox.

 

ASM2: 709 m and 52% on RT

 

FFH: 1.13 billion and 90% on RT

One movie is a masterpiece the other is a really mediocre movie

So almost all studio are now back to pre-covid time, except WB, who can't even get their box office reporting back to normal.   

Is that true?

 

Both Shang-Chi and Black Widow grossed 170-200M. They should have been significantly higher than that pre-covid. 

 

Fast & Furious 9 still had a reasonable drop from previous installments.

 

Cruella grossed less than Dumbo and imo had a lot more going for it.

 

Conjuring & Purge both dropped by 30-40% from previous films.

 

Family films in particular seem to be really struggling:

Boss Baby 2 dropped by 70% from the first film.

Peter Rabbit dropped by 65% from the first film.

Jungle Cruise completely flopped (imo it was on track to do well before pandemic)

 

In fact, the only films that seem to have performed on par with what they would have done pre-pandemic, are Quiet Place 2, Godzilla v Kong, and Space Jam 2... two of which are Warner Bros releases.

 

 

Not to mention the international box office has absolutely not recovered, all the films mentioned above did very badly overseas.

Oh so 31. The SAT PS did suggest that, was sort of cautious with that 29. 90 is certainly possible.

I mean I’d hardly call ASM2 a masterpiece but it is an experience. Spot on FFH being mediocre though lol.

[Krissykins]

That’s actually good for Addams Family 2. Cute that the official estimate is $18,007,000. 
 

Great for Venom. 

[XO21]

$90m is a number that sparks joy.

Venom 2‘s Saturday is $31.6M, -15% from Friday/Thursday previews total of $37.29M, and Sunday is projected to be $21.2M.

[Krissykins]

Godzilla Vs Kong broke $30m.
A Quiet Place 2 broke $40m.

Fast 9 broke $50-70m.

Black Widow broke $80m

and now Venom 2 has broken $90m.
 

 

Pressure is on for Eternals to break $100m.
