So we're assuming that nothing releases by Xmas now?

Right now it seems April-July is going to be effected most.   Also we can't lose sight that the after effects could still cause major problems for the box office.  Without a vaccine or treatment, people will still be cautious and paranoid of going to public places.  So even if the Theater opens back up it doesn't mean people will flock back and everything will come back to normal.   So yes 200 Million Domestic will be very hard to beat in this situation.   Even 400 + Worldwide will be hard as well.   Fast 9, Black Widow and Minions are all delayed.  Those are huge blockbusters.   "Wonder Woman 84" is on a thin thread waiting to see if things get better.   It's been a long time since 200 Million Domestic was the bar but here we are.

Ironically the original "Bad Boys" came out this year and was #23 Domestic.  "Bad Boys II" was #11 Domestic in 2003.   Again it's been a long time since 200 Domestic was  the bar but it's cool to look at this list.   I was only 15 years old in 1995 and guess what, I saw every single one of these movies on the Big Screen but "Ace Ventura 2".   Yes I saw "Casper" and till this day I think "Waterworld" is underrated.  I loved it watching it.  I understand why it bombed but it was a decent Sci-Fi film and I loved the world building.  "Die Hard" and "Apollo 13" was so good watching on the Big Screen.  I was disappointed in "Batman Forever" at the time because of no Michael Keaton but I loved the soundtrack so much.  Watching "Toy Story" was awesome, I had no idea that was the beginning of the 3D Animation Revolution but it's crazy to look the last 2D Animated film to win the year was "Hercules" in 97.  I loved the Blockbuster Diversity of the 80's and 90's.  Check out this special features preview for the Home Entertainment Release of "Bad Boys for Life".

First film to open in January and cross $200M. That's a big deal! Thrilled for everyone involved with this film. A pleasant surprise, to be sure.

 

Oh, and I just picked up the blu ray! This one's a keeper.

Well it's already at 425 now which is a bar very high to reach for this climate.   It's been on streaming now for about 3 months but that doesn't mean it can make some China dollars maybe.   Right now I have to see because with limited capacity I don't see any film doing that great in China.  With that said, Congrats to Bad Boys for being the #1 Movie domestic and Worldwide for 7 Straight Months.  I wonder what the record is?  "Black Panther" came in February and won the Year domestic but lost Worldwide to "Infinity War".

To be completely fair, this post was from March, when there was still some hope that the human race wasn't absolutely fucking moronic

Well I didn't think any more Money would be coming in 2020 but China opened up with Limited Capacity and low and behold.  "Bad Boys For Life" has about a 3.2 Million OW.    It's Global Total is 426.  So 430 is looking good for overall.  I wonder what the China Number would of been under normal circumstance.  I mean the movie has been on streaming now for 5 Months.   Also Congrats to "Bad Boys for Life" for holding the Domestic and Worldwide Crown for the 7th Straight Month in a row.  (1/17/2020-8/17/2020)
