M$824M... Studio LC Reporting.

[Purple Minion]

Just below DS2 and Avengers. Hope it goes higher with actuals.

 

$7.6M OW for Meg 2, #2 OS market. Should be at 130M lc, 8% higher than the first.

 

$2.3M total for Haunted Mansion. Were all those booked screens worth it? The chains need to start reviewing their allocation strategy.

Oppy remains the standout for me. Pesos and dollars I know but is funny how it started with similar numbers as DOM but has held better in here despite way less IMAX screens compared to overall screen count.

 

It has grossed more than Dunkirk and Interstellar combined!

OD - 23M LC

[Carlangonz]

Oppenheimer beating Quantumania and Flash is probably my most unexpected event this year. Wonder if it will start beating Barbie this weekend. 

 

Let's see how Meg legs with upcoming competition and how close ends up to Transformers which seems appropriate.

 

Elemental is crazy as well. Holding with sub-50% drops despite a sizable theater loss for two weeks now.

ATP is doing miracles for the gross but can't give a push to ticket sales. It may be the first year since 2014 (pandemic era excluded) with only two 10M+ releases.

This year is likely to see some stuff that hasn't happened in years. From top of my head:

 

1. First year since 2009 that Disney doesn't show up in the Top 3 yearly

 

2. First time since 2004 where Universal wins the year. Back then they won with another animation: Shrek 2.

Cowabunga! Previous Turtle-verse entries, I have no idea about this new animated version's performance... will it tilt more towards Super Pets than Spiderverse?

Taking a time off from tracking but doesn't seem to blow up atm. I'm thinking o/u $60M

[Purple Minion]

Oppy is now up to $15.4M, passed The Dark Knight, plus a good sign for a stable weekend ahead 

[Purple Minion]

Barbie becomes the 13th movie to cross $50M. Full estimates coming soon.

[Purple Minion]

$51.8M for Barbie, bye bye Joker.

$16.8M for Oppy.

Great $15.0M total for The Meg 2, repeating on top.

Disappointing $2.9M OW for the Turtles, may not be enough for 50M lc.

[Carlangonz]

I'd say is ok for Turtles. WOM and lack of competition should carry it past $10M.

 

Meg is nuts. It's basically repeating the performance of the first one and should top $400M and No. 6 of the year. Creature movies apparently are immune to many stuff.

 

Barbie can't catch a break as is now is looking like it's going below $950M as Oppenheimer remains on track for $330M pending to see how losing IMAX and several screens affects it.

this movie disappoint in almost everywhere?

 

I don't understand if studio have great creative talents with ideas or tech, why they still focus on these characters or franchises instead of new ip. 

[Purple Minion]

It's easier to promote known property in nostalgia-friendly markets like Mexico. There is a good awareness of the TMNT, based on the response to the 2 recent live action movies... was this animated version marketed incorrectly towards children, perhaps?

 

New IP needs to cater to all four quadrants, which only Coco has been able to do in recent years - the only movie in the all-time Top 20 that is not a sequel or based on an existing product. You need to go all the way down to #36 (local movie) , #40 (Avatar) and #55 (Inside Out) to find other originals.

I didn't thought about it but honestly does feel that way. I feel is mostly about exploiting nostalgia among adults who are familiar with the property rather than finding a new audience like Mario for example which did great both things.

 

I also think is a bit like Spiderman live action and Spiderverse movies. People accepts animated versions and they do respectable numbers but it doesn't have such a wide appeal like live-action counterparts.

Original titles are always the most fun to follow: Coco, Parasite, No se Aceptan Devoluciones, Inside Out all in the past 10 years. Elemental just recently and even though they're based on books they're not precisely IP: The Whale and Oppenheimer. The fact that these last three did what they did make me a bit hopeful for a potential breakout soon
