This was a good weekend at the box office.  A terribly reviewed and roughly 2 year delayed film is going to open up near $40m and other movies held up well.  The Lost City is going to drop 50%, but it really is more in the 40% range given there were 3 days of previews rolled into it.  The Batman and Uncharted continue to perform.  

 

 

 

Im really impressed with Uncharted performance. Its now over 360M worldwide and will turn a nice profit. Dont think many here (including me) would have considered these numbers likely before it opened.

SING 2 will cross 400M WW next week or the one after

An indie horror movie with little star power and a smutty premise was always going to be a tough sell to a broad audience. Everything Everywhere actually seems widely appealing between its sci-fi concept and the presence of icon Michelle Yeoh.

Love Michelle but she is meaningless as a box office draw.

Not to mention, it's April 1st weekend, not exactly some huge movie going weekend no matter what year it is pre or post pandemic.

 

Yes. The true event is next weekend.

The premise of Everything Everywhere All At Once reminds me of this movie

Sing 2 surpassing Dune and Eternals soon, I believe

Impressive that it will cross 400M despite opening at the absolute peak of Omicron around the world, despite being on digital only 17 days after release (it made 64M after that) and despite families not showing up in full force in theatres after the panademic. The first movie did 600M WW 5 years ago in a completely different marketplace. Solid result.

I just looked up what Sony's slate is for the rest of the year and after Father Stu (which is going to flop) they have nothing coming out until July. And they actually have an impressive slate for the rest of the year. Bullet Train looks like a hit, Where the Crawdads Sing could be a potential sleeper (the book is apparently very popular, it's been on the best sellers list for a few years), The Man from Toronto (Kevin Hart/Woody Harrelson/Kaley Cuoco action comedy) sounds like a hit on paper, Spider-Verse will obviously be a smash, The Woman King and Lyle Lyle Crocodile sound like they have potential, and the Whitney Houston biopic is destined to be among the most talked about movies of the holidays (if not the whole year).

Agreed, not just in the states.. Here in Asia as well, she is not a draw at all..

Where the Crawdads Sing is one of my most anticipated films of the year. The book was great; a slow-burn murder mystery, and the girl who plays the lead was amazing in Hulu's Normal People. Done right, it has huge appeal.

That worldwide number for Morbius isn't that bad. Might end up making 200 million worlwide.

If it doesn't collapse. I think this makes at best 210M.

Not bad at all. Considering budget is only 75M, it'll easily be a hit for Sony. Sony law continues to exist.

Good number but 800M WW is dead. Should finish around 760-770M. 

[Grebacio]

It started its overseas release on March 18th and it most countries it opened on par on Boss Baby 2 which is not good, but not awful either.
Opening Domestically 2 weeks before Doctor Strange is stupid , but it has good reviews so far, so hopefully it can perform as good counter programming.

They really should’ve moved it to March 11th or May 20th when Turning Red and League of Super Pets moved. Much better spots.

Morbius, Fantastic Beasts, Ambulance, and The Bad Guys are looking to be back to back flops. The Lost City jumped over a cliff.

 

I was told this was the "Roaring Twenties".

Shouldn't have trouble clearing 760. NTTD looks out of reach.
