Chris Eggertsen — Sun, 06 Oct 2019 15:46:36 +0000

Monday Update: The joke’s not on Warner Bros., as their gritty R-rated Joker set the new record for highest October opening weekend with $96.2M. This breaks the previous record of $80.2M set by last October’s Venom. (That was also the prior record-holder even when adjusting historical movies for ticket price inflation.) Among R-rated superhero (or superhero-adjacent) movies, […]

Weekend Actuals: It: Chapter Two Floats to $91M in North America, $185M Global Debut

Chris Eggertsen — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 15:34:54 +0000

Sunday Update: Warner Bros. horror sequel It Chapter Two wasn’t clowning around, with a $91.0M opening to top the box office. That’s -26.2% behind its predecessor’s September 2017 debut, although the comparison is a little unfair. The predecessor came in far above expectations, and no pre-release tracking projected the sequel to open above the original. Comparisons Total box […]

Chris Eggertsen — Sun, 28 Jul 2019 15:48:26 +0000

Monday Update: Disney’s remake repeated at the box office, as Quentin Tarantino’s new release came in second place. The Lion King fell -60.0% in its sophomore frame, to $76.6M. While still good enough to repeat as the box office “king,” its second-weekend drop was far larger than other Disney remakes this decade: -53.2% for Aladdin, -48.3% for Beauty and the […]
