ThomasNicole Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Venice opened higher than Nile both DOM and OS Nile ended up with 137M, without much competition i think Venice can leg to 150M which would be acceptable for a 60M budget, let´s see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Happy to see Nun II number 1 again, with only a -55% drop and already at $158.8m worldwide. Should be headed for $220m+ at least. Budget: $38.5m 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanic2187 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Quote Even though A Haunting in Venice had PLFs and Imax, which propelled 36% of its weekend, Nun 2 had a better Saturday than the Branagh movie, $6.25M to $5.4M. The sequel’s overall hold this weekend is -55%, which is great for a horror pic (they typically drop -60% or worse in weekend 2). I think the data from the past 2 years is enough to declare that horror genre is no longer a frontloaded genre at the BO like how people assume.

Pinacolada Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 A disappointing domestic OW for Haunting in Venice, but the overall international opening weekend is pretty solid. Should easily be able to pass $100m WW at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringedmortality Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The hyperbole of "why would they spend 60M on this" people were on about earlier is crazy to me. Especially since this will outgross Death on the Nile and will make a killing on VOD. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think if there is another Poirot film, go for a known title. The ABC Murders would allow them to cast a name as Hastings as well as the murderer and Evil Under The Sun you can go for starry cast in a sunny location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUTS plot is by the numbers and reveal is basically the same as Nile. Come to think of it, it is the poor man's Death on the Nile. Would be money burned. Not that Branaugh will get another theatrical turn. ABC Murders will make for a fun Saturday afternoon tune in on Hulu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 4M WE for Barbie means it was the right call to release digital on 9/12. There was barely an impact. I would say 30% drop is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was playing like a young-skewing horror, Nun 2 would have dropped a lot harder than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the next film in the universe to also do it and BOT to act shocked it happened like it came out of nowhere.

Chrysaor Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Below's a comparison of Death in the Nile vs. A Haunting in Venice's opening weekend grosses both domestically and in the latter's top 10 foreign markets. For me, one of the big questions was whether the inclusion of Camille Cottin (who's starred or co-starred in a number of French theatrical hits), Riccardo Scamarcio (who's recently starred in some very successful Netflix films in Italy), and Michelle Yeoh (who's never been a big box office draw in China but tapped into a groundswell of support there after her Best Actress Oscar win) would improve the film's openings in those markets. The short answer is, unfortunately no. Italy held even, France dropped 19% which might largely be due to going up directly against the opening weekend of The Nun II, and China dropped a whopping 59%. I think the lesson from this is not at all to avoid an international cast, but rather when you cast international actors, you really ought to cast ones that are legitimate box office draws in their home countries. Some bright spots including the 13% domestic increase as well as a 27% increase in Spain and a 76% increase in Mexico. I'm not sure offhand what to attribute the bump in Spanish language countries to. Death on the Nile's offshore opening weekend didn't include China, so if you back that out, it's roughly $20.7 (DotN) vs. $20.3 (AHiV). So we'll see how holds go. Based on this limited dataset, it looks like WW final might end up slightly under DotN's (hopefully I'm wrong), but again we'll see how holds go, and either way it's bound to be more profitable considering that the budget was $30-40 MM less than DotN's. USA $12.8 -----> $14.5 MM. +13% UK $2.6 -----> $2.6 MM +0% China $5.8 MM -----> $2.4 MM -59% Italy $2.1 MM -----> $2.1 MM +0% France $2.1 MM -----> $1.7 MM -19% Spain $942,000 -----> $1.2 MM +27% Korea $1.15 -----> $1.0 MM -13% Japan $1.07 MM -----> $900k -16% Germany $1.252 MM -----> $800k -36% Mexico $398k -----> $700k +76% Australia $1.17 -----> 700k -40% Edited September 18, 2023 by Chrysaor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
