If you look at all the animated movies released in US, all the movies that have grossed over 300 million have been PG,none PG 13

 

do you guys think that will ever change?

Nope but mainly because there is such a small amount of PG-13 animated movies compared to PG ones

Maybe a Simpsons finale movie could make money but the problem is that studios will deliberately make their movies to be PG rated so that all the children can see it even if its content is sometimes too mature for that age group

why doesn't box office mojo include the preview number in the weekend gross for dragon ball? especially since they don't include it among the other thursday numbers either. i noticed they did that w/ Jujutsu Kaisen as well. bro they must hate anime.

Box Office Mojo is really buggy. Don't worry they will correct it on Dec 31/Jan 1 when Distributor GKIDS/Funimation/Crunchyroll will publish their annual report.

Suspect it has more to do with it being an semi-automated system, and foreign distributors actually separating out Thursday from Friday when they report, unlike domestic, which roll it all up into a “Friday” total

interesting stat I found - on Anime movies for the general audience by race

 

Whites - Fav: 28% / Un-Fav: 43% - Remainder: No Op / Never heard of

 

Hispanics - Fav: 40% / Un-Fav : 34% - Remainder: No Op / Never heard of

 

African Americans -   Fav :   38% /  Un- Fav: 33% - Remainder: No Op / Never heard of

 

Others - Fav:     46% /  Un-Fav:   29%  - Remainder: No Op / Never heard of

Did Tom Cruise cement his reputation as the biggest movie star of all time? 

 

I still think in terms of an actor's run, 1992-2000 Tom Hanks is untouchable, but overall Cruise is at the apex.

I think A24 poorly handled Bodies Bodies Bodies. Maybe their horror brand has fallen off? Maybe their stock has diminished?

 

While Everything Everywhere is one of the most impressive box office runs in memory it crossed over gigantically, Marcel the Shell didn't exactly take off in July either. Men was a dud in May. X did about 11m. They're releasing Funny Pages this week with barely any notice.

 

I would have assumed a fun horror comedy with solid reviews and cast with famous names could have overperformed. This summer was low on horror, hence Black Phone truly breaking out. But it's only going to do like under 15m?

 

The slow rollout probably stunted it somewhat. Should have just gone 2500 wide August 5th.

Yeah, 0 reason this needed to do a slow rollout. A 7-9M opening would've been in the cards if it went wide immediately as buzz has kind of faded by now.

agreed. The reviews were pretty average so I don’t know why they didn’t go wide immediately like they did with X, Hereditary and Midsommar. A24 confuses me sometimes with their release strategies.

The reviews were solid for horror. It's 69 on Metacritic. The Black Phone is 65. 88% on Rotten Tomatoes with 7.30 average. Black Phone is 83% with 7.0. 

 

Orphan 2 did really well despite being dumped theatrically and those reviews aren't great. Horror can survive with weak reviews as long as the concept/marketing is there and usually A24 has the marketing/concept/buzz with their horror releases.

Clark Gable is the biggest movie star of all time. Star of the biggest film of all time. The most amount of tickets sold. 59 of his 65 starring roles hit $100m worldwide when adjusted for inflation. That's 90.76%.

[Jiffy]

This is what I've found for top 13th weekends:

 

1. Titanic - $17,578,815

2. Avatar - $6,526,421

3. MBFGW - $6,209,500

4. E.T. - $6,020,986

5. Home Alone - $6,001,085

6. TGM - $5,850,166

Box office mojo isn't an authority on BO reporting. They just report what studios tell them to.

 

Crunchy roll report THU like a full day, giving actuals instead of other studios who just give estimate for previews and roll the number in OD actuals.

It almost feels surreal seeing a Dragon Ball movie at the number one spot for the North American box office, especially when it didn’t do particularly great in Japan. Good for Crunchyroll, I guess. 
 

In other news, TGM just might end the year as the biggest movie of 2022, at least domestically. Who could’ve seen that coming?

Dragon Ball nowadays is much more popular outside of Japan than in it, especially in the Americas...

Yes. I believe one day there will be a PG-13 animated film that breaks $300M DOM.
