It made 19.2m on Friday the 13th and finished with 65m https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Friday-the-13th-(2009)#tab=box-office Ironically could be an almost identical run to TCP I also just realized there’s Renaissance, likely falling just short of 3x OD. I don’t really think that should count though given the weekend only nature. Edited January 3 by MovieMan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Wonka will probably do like $220M DOM and $600M WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Aquaman and Wonka will probably be the final two $400M grossers to round out the year. Crazy how no movie has done so since Barbenheimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanMB Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 So I took a peak earlier at how Anyone But You was doing in my area today, and I noticed that almost every evening showtime in my area was mostly full, which made me curious about if the multiplexes might move it to their bigger screens, and sure enough the three closest to me are upgrading it to screens with more seating than they had today. One is moving from a 73 seater to t 121 seater! How often does that happen, especially with a non-blockbuster that opened at #5? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borobudur Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 3 hours ago, MovieMan89 said: And just in case you missed it or I’ve been unclear for those who I know want to hear it… Wonka is obviously not doing a 10x+ multi or getting #3 for the year. Not even close. Way way off about that. Not even sure of it will get to 6x now Wonka's NY day is really a weak spot. 34% decrease from Christmas to NY is one of the weaker hold I've seen. Doesn't bode well for post holiday hold. NWH -27% ATOW -16% TFA -31% ITSV +10% Jumanji NL -13% Jumanji -15% MPB -24% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it’s gonna be just brutal out there in Jan/feb if we don’t even get any notable numbers from holdovers. I don’t think 2024 would be able to recover from it in terms of the year being a lock to decrease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I don't see a lot of people talking about this, but Wonka is well on its way to be Warner Bros' 3rd highest grossing movie of the 2020s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that’s not a particularly special milestone. Other studios have multiple films that grossed that amount or more, while Warner Bros also has Barbie this year that grossed significantly more than what Wonka will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just figured it was worth pointing out. 2023 has probably been WB's best year post-Covid, and on their 100th anniversary, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is indeed just saying Biden gets re-elected…well that’s not good either, but not as bad as the alternative!

HummingLemon496 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Aquaman will end higher than $375M but lower than $376M so @Relevation's long term prediction of $375M WW will be correct Edited January 3 by HummingLemon496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel M Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 9 hours ago, emoviefan said: And yet it still is a successful movie by all metrics. It just did not break out big the way we hoped it could. Having seen the movie and really liking it still does not surprise me. My guess is it being a musical really has hurt it. They were probably right to hide that fact in the end. I think it did break out, it's just that some people got too excited and set the bar so high for this movie expecting it to pull a mini-Barbie or have Jumanji and Greatest Showman legs. Like that's something that happens all the time. I don't think the pre-release expectations for Wonka were to easily fly by the 2005 movie unadjasted WW total. It's a prequel, Timothee-Paul King are nowhere near Burton-Depp 2000s fame and it had a fair amount of bad buzz before it came out. There's an alternate universe where Wonka has a more tepid reception in line with pre-release expectations, does Mary Poppins Returns boxoffice and that would still be fine for it all things considered. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying Wonka isn’t having a good performance, I’m just saying it’s not really some grand milestone. Also don’t really know if they gave it a much smaller marketing push (doubt it).
