Is this the 1st time we've ever had 2+ wide openers with Caucasians not in the #1 spot for any of the openers?  And it wasn't close?

I doubt it’s the first time, but (depending on definition of wide), only ~16 of last 41 weekends (since Eternals) have even had 2 wide openings in the first place. Whole lot of single release or even empty weeks

What are Dragon Ball's chances of $40 million domestic total?

 

Decent but not locked. Should only need about 1.9x to make it happen. Now, to be fair, JJK0 only did 1.77x its OW so it could still miss....

According to BOM JJK0 opened to $17.7 million and according to The Numbers finished with $33.9 million which makes for 1.91x.

 

A $21 million OW and the same multiplier would get it there.

lol that's a good PTA for Orphan. Paramount should've gone wider with with or had a one week theatrical exclusive window.

 

Crawdads might also overtake Minions/Nope/Thor next weekend? Didn't see that coming.

Seems BOM totals are incomplete then. Ah well, like I said it will take 1.9x and it's fairly decent but not locked.

$90M might be out of reach now but it's pretty much locked to finish with 5x its opening. Definitely going down as one of the brightest spots about this summer.

Sony is better off giving it doubles with The Invitation than Bullet Train since both are PG-13 and female-skewing.

Anime movies seem to have a ceiling of $25 Million OW, $50 Million Domestic

I don't think there's a particular ceiling on the genre, it's just a matter of an IP catching on domestically. If something new from Japan was able to recreate a Pokemon-type craze for a new generation, it could be quite big. Pokemon the first movie opened on a Wednesday and made $51M through Sunday. For comparison, The Phantom Menace made $106M over the same time frame that year. A film of similar interest/scale to PTFM in 2022 would make $150M+ in 5 days. 

[JustLurking]

Pokemon was an exception though, Crunchyroll can't possibly match WB as a distributor. Anyway, I think AoT could've done better than DS had they released a film for the final part, and CSM has solid chances of beating it domestically if it receives a film. Beyond those, I don't think there's anything. Even MHA falls behind it in manga sales these days in the US (can't even match its gaiden volume or its...coloring book, lol).

Up 112% from yesterday, I wonder how much is from the Amandla Stenberg/New York Times critic drama, 2% maybe? I guess Everything Everywhere All At Once used up all of this year's box office luck for A24.

 

I doubt that had any effect. 

[Eric the Ape]

Is that Lord of the Rings anime movie still happening? That feels like the one that could really breakout and gross like 80M or whatever.

Movies are all about execution, but the premise of The Whale is a bit yikes honestly, even if done well, it doesn't scream crossover potential.

Needs some oscar love, that’s what saves most of these a24 films. It’s rare that they have a breakout like Everything Everywhere

[Flip]

Maverick making 10x more than the ending of one of the biggest franchises ever on its 13th Friday despite opening 2 weeks earlier is crazy

[Krissykins]

THR going with “slays Beast” too lol.

 

That picture lol, looks like something from a Saturday morning cartoon in the early 80’s. 

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

I used to be obsessed with DBZ. I had all the Boudakai games. But that was like 17 years ago

Assuming nothing has changed due to the WBD brouhaha, it's coming in April 2024.
