Bob Train Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 A strong case to be made that Barbie is the most profitable movie of the decade so far. The sheer amount of money made from toys, merchandise, Halloween costumes etc., and on a lower budget than most movies with comparable gross level. Only potential competitor could be NWH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Lasagna Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Moderation @MightyDargon this fetishistic hatred you have for WB isn't funny anymore. It seems 99% of the time you're just trying to start petty fanboy war nonsense with DC/Warner and it's beyond tired. It's not funny, never was funny, never will be funny, and frankly seems to indicate you're just here to troll. So cut this out now, or I will cut you out. And if you don't like this, take note that we aren't the only place on the Internet where you can talk about DC/WB. No reason to hang out in a place you hate.

Yeah, and I was just talking about box office. The other revenues were surely gigantic as well. Granted, that marketing budget was a lot costlier than I think they will ever let the public know, but it still doesn’t matter. There’s almost no way they didn’t make over a bil profits from all lines of revenue on that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yeah I don't think it's unreasonable to say that WB had a solid year. The DCEU disappointed (as always) but aside from small failures like Magic Mike and House Party, all of their releases did great. Even Aquaman 2 may come close to breaking even (unlikely, but possible given non-existent marketing). I do believe that WB will fare far better this year, as their slate is incredibly strong.

Better than a likely $1.5b+ profit from box office alone? I have doubts. Thats far from easy. Then again, I am thinking Joker and Beetlejuice are the two BO stories of the year and neither have break the bank budgets at all. So maybe.

ThomasNicole Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Seems like it will be at +20M before Oscar nominations at this point, super stable without never getting more than 850 theaters If Searchlight is smart enough in how to expand it fully wide and capitalize the eventual 10 or more nominations, this will have a very long and solid run until March - April 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a short term thing. Luiz never proesents the full context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only movies that held better week to week were American Fiction and All of Us Strangers, which both saw theater expansions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's chugging along fine but its PTA for so few theaters isn't impressive. It was only when it played in 8 theaters but dropped big with the first expansion and kept dropping.

DAJK Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Any chance Poor Things can out-gross The Favorite? Could see it being at 20M by Oscar noms... not sure how well the Oscars can help bump a movie in the 2020s, but it should at least come close, no?

Hard to say because of the different release schedule. PT started in more theaters and it already has holiday season behind it. TF in the same 18 days didn't even reach holiday boost stretch. I don't even know how you do the comparison, by days of release or where they were at the same time (Dec and Jan).

In my head, I thought The Favourite grossed like 25M and thought "oh yeah, that's possible." My heart sank realizing it did 35M back then. The past couple years screwed up my mind when it came to specialty box office. I don't even think Favourite was even seen as that big a hit back then either. I miss those old days. 😭 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its PTA at this stage is quite comparable to the favourite, a pre-pandemic award season player. Although I doubt poor things is more audience friendly than that movie. At this stage I would say Poor things is the first movie that have a pre-pandemic like platform release run since Licorice pizza. I was hoping the holdover to replicate a similar run like GB, only smaller but obviously the streaming ruin the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full context is it dripped 59% from a holiday Monday that basically acts like a Sunday vs a regular Monday where everyone is back to work. Its Monday hold was also great in that context. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even fuller context is Monday evening was one of the highest rated sports events of the year with the college football final, it’s not the Super Bowl but over 20 million eyeballs on a week night is nothing to scoff at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s still the best hold and last MON was a holiday, it still looks very good to me tbh This will probably ended up similar results of The Favourite back in 2018, it’s starting to outgross it daily from what i saw (TF released earlier to be fair). I’m expecting around 32-35M finish. Considering how much the landscape changed since TF and that this is probably an even weirder movie, it’s a very impressive run , one of the best for awards contenders since the pandemic for sure Let’s hope similar results will be seen once it starts the OS rollout next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
