Weekdays (June 26 - 30) | Spiderverse 2.78M, Flash 1.66M, Feelings 1.65M

D&D was just way too niche. It had good critical reviews, good audience reception, and made a decent splash online even. It's just that nobody beyond fantasy fans and D&D fans cared.

Eh, it will play on Disney+ and Disney related channels for decades.  In the end it will make more for them than most of the stuff they produced to go direct to OTT

That's very true. I guess more than anything I'm happy that its box office haul will be a good sign for the future of Pixar's big screen business.

I'm not prepared to say it'll do $150 DOM yet, that would be better than Finding Nemo legs

 

But Disney/Pixar definitely have to be encouraged by its recovery both here and worldwide. I'm hoping it can hit $400m, the mark I thought was the satisfactory benchmark before it was released. At least this performance may take the heat off the creative team and more on the marketing department, who advertised it in an almost aggressively off-putting way. They need to avoid that mistake with Elio's campaign.

Box office has not recovered full. Summer is too packed.

 

i would argue March as well; hence Shazam and D&D suffered..

 

I was just thinking yesterday about comparing March to this June...another month where nothing outright sucked quality wise, so some movies (which ended up as the ones without ticket promos) just suffered...and then got annihilated by the wave movie the following month...

 

April had Mario as the wave...and July is gonna have the Oppenheimer/Barbie combo, which will kick almost all holdovers not named MI 7 out of small and midsize theaters just by default b/c of how much space they seem like they'll need OW...

Yeah still very early to say 150M for Elemental, but the drops has been great and getting even better as it goes. 
 

I’m still worried how the MI7 / Barbie / Oppenheimer fight for screens can hurt this movie. 
 

But at this rate, 120M seems rather locked, +130M very likely and 150M definitely achievable if it just manage to keep screens until Ninja Turtles 

 

If it ended up with 150M DOM, 400M WW also can happen since the great WOM is kicking in globally

Yeah Elemental's SK run is one of the more fascinating single-market ones this year. We're on day 15 now and its OD and second day have been the lowest of its entire run so far. Its OW was bettered by its second and If the third weekend beats the second weekend, which its tracking to do based on the second set of weekdays beating the first, then 4m+ admissions seems close to locked. There's a good chance it will beat GOTG3 as the highest Hollywood grosser of the year (4.2m admissions) with potential to go higher as long as it can co-exist with Mission Impossible 7 which releases in its 4th weekend.

$1M CLUB: DISCOUNT TUESDAY

 

1. ELEMENTAL ($4M)

2. SPIDER-MAN ($3.6M)

3. THE FLASH ($2.4M)

4. NO HARD FEELINGS ($2.2M)

5. TRANSFORMERS ($1.9M)

6. THE LITTLE MERMAID ($1.8M)

7. ASTEROID CITY ($1.2M)

Excellent hold for Elemental, it's doing exactly how it needs to do in order to try and mitigate that poor OW. I'm wondering if the stellar WOM will actually help it once it hits the rest of Europe and Japan.

Second week in a row where The Flash has a decent Tuesday hold. Pretty sure it's fuelled by the curious who want to watch it for the memes but don't want to pay the full price

I think it will, the staggered international release is actually working in its favor. It just opened pretty well in Germany, for example

At least it's chugging along. Will pass Bumblebee domestically before Friday and TLK this weekend.

 

Honestly, I think it's time for theatres to start building multiple of each premium screen per theater. I think a lot of these movies could have performed better if they had more acces to premium screens (except for the Flash. RIP Flash).

This is likely all it needed to do. This will tell Paramount that there is still an audience and all it will mean is that Rise of the Beasts 2 or whatever it's called will likely have a lower budget to compensate.
