Those 2 countries in particular seem like places where something like TG:M wouldn't do well even if they did release.

You never know. Just because it's American military propaganda doesn't mean it wouldn't make bank.

But Russian currency hasn't been worth much as it used to.

EEAAO is so close to getting a nice 69m DOM finish

Assuming it hadn't resonated with these 2 markets...atleast a bare minimum of 60-70m would have been added to its OS gross...which would have made it WW gross touch 1.17b instead of 1.11b!

Thor about to become the 7th 100M OW post-pandemic. After that it will be a while until Shang-Chi is kicked out of the list.

well crap if no one watches it, maybe we don't have to worry if it's eligible for the animated feature Oscar or not.

I don't expect it to be enormous mind you, but I'd be surprised if the Rock as a badass DC anti-hero couldn't do at least $76M. Currently I'm thinking somewhere around VLTBC.

I just saw Black Phone at a 1pm showing in its 2nd Sunday and theater was completely packed and went crazy throughout the whole thing

I don't agree but it is in fact a strong contender to do it.

That would be disappointing because of the reviews

[Gopher]

A huge sign of box office health is how the market share of each 100m opener has shifted...

 

Spiderman (260.1m): 92.4% of cumulative box office its opening weekend

The Batman (134m): 81%

Doctor Strange (187.4m): 84.1%

Top Gun (126.7m): 71.9%

Jurassic World (145.1m): 67.8%

Minions (108.51m): 56.9%

 

Sure, Minions is the smallest of those openers... but that figure is with no other opener this weekend over a million dollars...

I expect it to vastly over perform just because nothing is coming out until it.  It will be almost 3 months between Thor and BA and 2 months from Bullet Train.  People can only see TGM so many times.

It was a lot more valuable circa 2012 than it is now

Reposting this here b/c it is incredible...all Deadline info - Minions had almost no adults...has their ever been a "kid" skew this wild on any movie ever put out, especially at these huge box office numbers?

 

"However, Rise of Gru did attract a massive under-25 demographic at 89%. Even more impressive is how Universal made a brand that was unhip, hip again for the 13-17 crowd, who showed up at 34%. Alas, the power of TikTok. Scroll down for more detail."

https://deadline.com/2022/07/minions-rise-of-gru-box-office-1235055270/

 

Compared to Lightyear which opened 60% less...and had almost no kids...only 46% below 25...and at way lower numbers b/c it opened so much lower...

 

"Of those who turned out for Lightyear, 52% were men, 48% females. Some 61% of those who bought tickets were between 18-34. Men over 25 were dominant at 30%, giving the film its best grade of 87% positive. Females under 25 at 24% also gave it 87%. Females over 25 repped 24% of the audience and graded the Pixar film with an 85%. Men under 25 at 23% gave the film a 79% grade."
