Once it gets past those two though it's pretty clear sailing since most of the big movies of October are more adult-aimed, plus the spooky season will make it an easy pick for families or more squeamish friend groups looking for appropriate viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingLemon496 Posted Sunday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:35 PM If Spider-Man 4 is released on Dec 18, 2026 and is a multiverse movie, I think it can go above Last Jedi domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingLemon496 Posted Sunday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:42 PM There's a chance the four out of the top 5 movies of the year domestically are animated movies, I'm serious 1. Inside Out 2 - $652M 2. Deadpool 3 - $635M 3. Moana 2 - $600M (ish) 4. DM4 - $370M 5. Mufasa - $325M 6. Beetlejuice - $300M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan C Posted Sunday at 05:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:02 PM (edited) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/15/business/media/beetlejuice-warner-bros-lifeline.html I think you guys are gonna want to read this article about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It talks about how the co-chairs of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group wanted to greenlight the movie, but Warners thought it was too expensive and said they would only give it a massive theatrical release if the budget was below $100M. The article actually lists the budget at being $99M, so this film probably wouldn't even exist if it just cost a couple more million dollars. Also, there was at one point (and I know this is insane) where Warner Bros. tried to push Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as something to be released on Max. No joke. It was only through the efforts of Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy (knowing a streaming release wouldn't work) that this movie was able to get released in theaters. I'm sorry, but this is an even crazier case than Alien: Romulus. Just the fact that a movie that has made almost $200M domestically at this point was destined to go straight to streaming is completely insane.

miketheavenger Posted Sunday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:25 PM How high are the chances of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice ending up as the second-highest grossing film DOM for fall and winter seasons? Aside from Moana 2, nothing seems locked to get to 300m and Mufasa is the only one that is more likely than not to get there. That would be quite the upset, wouldn't it?

vale9001 Posted Sunday at 05:26 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:26 PM (edited) Incredible numbers for Beetlejuice. Really one of the biggest surprise of the year if not of last years. Going near to 300M is beyond great. Less than 5M for Yes you are racist. Good. Edited Sunday at 05:27 PM by vale9001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted Sunday at 05:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:32 PM Deadpool at 621.5M with a 5.4M weekend Barbie was at 620.2M with a 5.7m weekend. The point is Barbie was released in IMAX for the First time in the 10th weekend so It lost only 13% from weekend 9 to weekend 10. Seems like Barbie could win but It's gonna be really on thin ice.

Contenders would be probably Mufasa. I think Sonic only does 250-260m i have Mufasa at 360m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie will win, there are 3 $40-50m+ openers the next 3 weeks, whereas at the same point in Barbie's run, the highest opener only opened to $22m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyDargon Posted Sunday at 05:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:56 PM (edited) My issue with saying TF One has "high" review totals is that it only has 50 reviews on RT. When will the list get more populated? Edited Sunday at 05:58 PM by MightyDargon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted Sunday at 07:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:17 PM Despicable Me 4 passes Minions 2 WW today (and is going to finish only like 7-8M behind it domestically). The fact that that film had the whole Gentleminions trend propelling it while this really had… nothing (not to mention Inside Out 2 to contend with) is pretty astonishing. Bring back Vector for the 5th movie as a final hook, and you’ve got another billion dollars. Truly remarkable staying power for the franchise. Even Ice Age was long gone by now.

lorddemaxus Posted Sunday at 07:37 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:37 PM Anyone know why Trap jumped 72% last weekend? Seems to have held up relatively well this weekend too. Don’t think I’ve seen this kind of jump happen on a random weekend in a long time (especially after a holiday weekend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
