Did Lego need a celebrity endorsement? The math ain’t mathing Universal picked up the rights to make LEGO movies until 2025 but hadn't released any until now. Piece by Piece was a (cheap) way for them to start fulfilling the contract. Edited Sunday at 04:59 PM by BoxOfficeFangrl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted Sunday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:12 PM Also, I really hope Piece by Piece ends up being the only Lego movie to ever be released by Universal. Because frankly, the only result coming out of all the money and all the time spent on the license being a fucking Pharrell biopic full of a bunch of musician cameos is too hilarious of an outcome to pass up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted Sunday at 04:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:17 PM (edited) Joker is really One of the worst flop ever. Yeah there are a lot of worst flops in terms of financial investment but most of them are movies you couldn't be sure about the success...here the shock is because of the money made but also because of the expectations. The mix of the two things makes It historical. Edited Sunday at 04:17 PM by vale9001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeSoh Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM 25 minutes ago, WebSurfer said: Big international drop as well… Thats a 74% drop from last weekend (the drop excludes Japan's number which opened this weekend). Marginally better than the DOM drop though I do wonder if WB is overestimating the numbers again like last week. The Marvels made 19.5 in its 2nd weekend internationally which was a drop of 69.2%. Joker has made 20.15m for a 74% drop. The Marvels stood at 161.3m WW after its 2nd weekend whereas Joker 2 is at 165.3m (estimated). One advantage Joker 2 has is that it is still to open in China. So even though it is dropping worse than The Marvels domestically and internationally it still can cross 200m due to China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vale9001 Posted Sunday at 04:25 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:25 PM (edited) The wild robot started so good in Continental Europe. #1 the weekend in france, Spain, Italy. Fun fact: in 4 days in Italy It already outgrossed Twisters total. Damn that movie was really more local than Garth Brooks.

Absolute insanity. Though bettle juice would do 225-250m at best and had joker 2 at 400m+. Beetlejuice is going to make roughly 6x Joker domestic take. Post COVID market has been quite ruthless to movies with toxic wom. If this came out like in 2021/2022 it wouldnt have done this bad. Bettlejuice is doing what I thought Joker 2 would be doing and vice versa. The countless reel and content online has fill up leisure time. People has become more selective of how they spend their time. WOM alone can't help the movie. White Birds got A+ cinemascore but still go ahead and drop 50%. Movie nowadays first and foremost, has to create FOMO effect to draw crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this making a run for $15M+ domestic?! Does MUBI has no power to expand theater count? It is really not a crowded market and its PTA is still higher than OW. Should warrant 1000+ locations at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It released on Friday the 13th so obviously had a huge rush to see it on that day. It's 2nd day was Valentine's day which also helped prop up its first weekend. These 2 factors alone would have ensured a big 2nd weekend drop. Add in the fact that it was a horror movie with terrible critics reviews and audience reception and it was bound to have an epic 2nd weekend drop 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The per theater average has improved since it went down to less than 700 theaters. It's feminist body horror and probably plays better in some locations than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening Sunday was also inflated by a holiday Monday. (it’s the best film in the franchise, IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
