filmlover Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Really strong hold for Violent Night. If it can survive Christmas passing I can see it approaching a $50M total. Empire of Light making less than half of The Whale in almost 19x the number of theaters is truly lol worthy.

CJohn Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Fantastic hold for Violent Night. It deserves to make all the money. Hopefully it recovers after next week's 60%+ drop and continues to have strong days until the end of the year (it will die after New Year's Day for obvious reasons). Black Panther had a 23M WW weekend and it is still 32M away from 800M global total. Does it have any markets left? The movie is gonna tank 70% everywhere next weekend. Holiday legs afterwards should save it and push it past the mark but I think there is a chance it misses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXRDJisDoctorDoom Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 BPWF is gonna finish in that $432-438M DOM // $810-820M WW range. I consider both of those numbers lackluster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Panther 1 made 1.2 billion even without China and Russia. Overseas BP2 will come below Thor Love and Thunder even though BP1 non China/Russia gross was higher than Thor Ragnarok. Not a good sign for Black Panther 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people have discussed this already so I'm not interested in dicussion it just a fleeting thought, Maybe get russo brothers to direct more films Edited December 11, 2022 by IronJimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Bros was released in 3000+ theaters and Universal gave it $30 million in marketing. Spoiler Alert has a way more low key release and never said it was "historic" or anything. I think it would've done better had they made/released it before the pandemic. Now it gets appraised by 2020s standards of progressiveness, even though it's about real people whose lives really went that way. And Spoiler Alert is a pretty terrible title (the book isn't that famous): either explain it in the trailer or change it.

Ken Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Regarding the Avengers team: I think it's a rather tall order to go to a group of people who had just spent years of their lives crafting not just one but two multimillion dollar-budgeted epics with hundreds of actors and loads of complicated VFX, paying off multiple previous films that had to satisfy audiences around the world... and expect them to do it again and expect the same results. I know no one really likes their post-Marvel projects, but they seem to be satisfied with making those at this moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like "bad title" could be applied to most of the movies that struggled this fall, but the thing of note is that a number of those movies (Bones and All, She Said, Devotion, Spoiler Alert, Women Talking) were based on books and had to keep their titles (or at least an abbreviated version of them, ala "Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies" becoming simply "Spoiler Alert") and the books themselves weren't popular enough to ensure a level of box office success to make up for the un-marquee-friendly nature of their titles (and in most cases, their subject matter).

Ken Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 But if you all meant working on smaller non-Avengers scale projects, I guess that could work out, but people sadly generally have higher expectations from them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good enough to get the movie into the top 10. Good PostTrak scores with 91% and Rotten Tomatoes audience at 93% from those who showed up, that being 58% guys, 45% between 18-34, 66% Caucasian, 15% Latino and Hispanic, 2% Black, & 17% Asian/other." https://deadline.com/2022/12/box-office-avatar-way-of-water-wakanda-forever-second-lowest-1235195382/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Of some note, Sony mounted a rerelease of its religious drama “Father Stu” this weekend, issuing a PG-13 edition of the Mark Wahlberg drama entitled “Father Stu: Reborn.” Playing in a substantial tally of 993 theaters, the film is projecting an $108,000 haul for the weekend, marking a $109 per-theater-average. After first releasing in April, total domestic sales for “Father Stu” now stand at $20.9 million.

The cume through Sunday is $8.9M, just slightly off the start of Sing 2 when excluding previews. Had no idea this came out early overseas this weekend. Good for them I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
