Box Office 2018

[Mandon Knight]

Surely $$$$ money is money, wherever it is earnt from ?

 

[Iceman]

Yes i understand that.

Technically you re correct. The numbers are numbers but in the spirit of Worldwide / Global competition its not right.

The list is supposed to be movies that audiences all over the world have seen.

Personally for me they dont count.

Would you count a film that made $400m but all in the U.S.?

 

[rashad]

Warner Bros.’ Crazy Rich Asians is flat out doing amazing this weekend with an unprecedented $25.5M, which is an unbelievable -4% dip from its first weekend’s $26.5M.

For Asian moviegoers, Crazy Rich is their superhero movie, with crowds seeing it easily twice, three times even more. We hear that the 60+ Asian demo, who may not attend the theater often, are making time for this seminal film on screen with their families. The running total for the Jon M. Chu-directed feature is expected to rise to $77.4M by Sunday.

Together with the third $11.6M weekend of The Meg, Warner Bros. rules the top two box office spots for the second weekend in the row, plus it’s the third consecutive weekend that the Burbank, CA lot has snatched the top spot. Meg is darting to $103.8M in U.S./Canada and $400M worldwide. And with the post Labor Day Conjuring universe spinoff title, The Nun, easily tracking for a $32M-$38M opening, it’s fair to say that Warner Bros. will own the top spot at the box office all the way until Fox’s Predator reboot opens on Sept. 14.

Well this is a hypothetical question. I dont think it will ever happen with a film.

But if it did for me it wouldnt count. Boxofficemojo would list it though.

Crazy Rich Asians holds onto the top spot with impressive second weekend
Warner Bros. Pictures‘ Crazy Rich Asians is looking to become one of the breakout hits of the summer, holding onto the top spot at the domestic box office with an impressive $25 million haul for the weekend, a drop-off of just 5.7% from its first weekend of release (the lowest drop-off for a wide release this year). Domestically the film now sits at $76.8 million. Internationally the film continues to roll out in various countries, but brought in $6 million from 18 markets, bringing the overseas total to $7.1 million, worldwide the film now stands at $83.9 million.

The large starring ensemble also includes Henry Golding, making his feature film debut, Sonoya Mizuno , Chris Pang, Jimmy O. Yang, comedian Ronny Chieng, Remi Hii, and Nico Santos Jon M. Chu directed the contemporary romantic comedy.

The Meg continues to swim upstream, hanging onto the #2 spot domestically with an additional $13 million. Domestically the film has crossed the $100 million mark with a total of $105.3 million, but internationally it continues to perform even better. The film added another $32.7 million this weekend in 65 territories, internationally it now sits at $303.3 million for a global total of $408.6 million. Directed by John Turteltaub, the film stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Cliff Curtis, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, Page Kennedy, Jessica McNamee, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Robert Taylor, Sophia Shuya Cai, and Masi Oka.

STX Films‘ The Happytime Murders debuted in third place with a total of $10 million. With an estimated budget of $40 million, the film will need to pull some strings to break even. Directed by Brian Henson, the film stars Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Joel McHale, and Elizabeth Banks

Mission: Impossible – Fallout held its grip on the #4 slot with another $8 million, bringing its domestic total to $193.9 million. Internationally the film added another $13 million for a total of $344.8 million, globally the movie now sits at $538.7 million. The sequel is slightly behind 2011’s Ghost Protocol and 2015’s Rogue Nation which finished their theatrical runs with $694.7 million worldwide and $682.7 million worldwide, respectively, but is performing better in many markets than Rogue Nation previously did. Tom Cruise leads the Christopher McQuarrie film which co-stars Henry Cavill, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Angela Bassett, Michelle Monaghan and Alec Baldwin.

Disney’s Christopher Robin moved up from sixth place to fifth with another $6.3 million and another $5.9 million internationally.

Mark Wahlberg’s latest action thriller Mile 22 fell from third to sixth place, adding another $6 million to its total. The film has now brought in $25.17 million domestically and just barely passed Wahlberg’s previous film All the Money in the World, it’s also within spitting distance of the last Wahlberg/Berg feature, Patriot’s Day (which brought in $31.8 million). The film is directed by Peter Berg and also stars Academy Award nominee John Malkovich, as well as Lauren Cohan, Iko Uwais and Ronda Rousey.

Sony Pictures and Studio 8’s Alpha slipped from fifth to seventh place with an estimated $5.6 million for the weekend. The ice age adventure now stands at $20.1 million domestically, but against a reported $51 million budget it will likely get lost in the tundra in the end. Kodi Smit-McPhee stars in the film alongside Natassia Malthe, Leonor Varela, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Mercedes de la Zerda, and Jens Hultén. Directed by Albert Hughes the film is written by Daniele Sebastian Wiedenhaupt.

Hold on... What happened for ~MI Fallout to jump that much? $90m in one weekend?

China happened.

 

[AverageMan]

China happened.

Wowzers. Helluva boost. How much did it earn in China?

 

[:eek:]

Wowzers. Helluva boost. How much did it earn in China?

Looks like around $77-78 million.

 

[8ulk87]

Wowzers. Helluva boost. How much did it earn in China?

Overseas boost.

It opened in China , Italy and Greece.

Rogue Nation opened for a combined 2,1 mil in Italy and Greece and grossed a total of 7,1 mil.
In China it opened for 86,7 mil with a total of 135,7 mil.

 

[8ulk87]

And i dont see any heavy hitters coming in September and October to challenge the top 10.

The Nun opens in September and is tracking for a 39 mil opening in US.
If its a hit OS it will probalby dethrone Paddington 2 for the n25 spot but i dont see it catching Tomb Raider.

In October A Star Is Born is tracking for a 44 mil opening in the US. Its probably gonna end up in the top 25. Somewhere between 20 and 25. Unless it bombs in Overseas markets which is unlikely.

Also in October we have Venom which is tracking for a 65 mil opening in th US. Its probably a guaranteed top 25 hit. My guess its gonna take a spot between 10 and 18.

And finally in October we have Halloween (2018) tracking for a 60 mil opening in the US.
Assuming its not gonna bomb Overseas its also heading for a top 25 placing. Anywhere from 15 to 24.

The last of the blockbusters this year arrive in November and December.

 

[AverageMan]

how do you see Shane Black's Predator doing?

 

[8ulk87]

^ Well its not tracking great.

30 mil opening in the US with a 66 mil total.

Maybe it can do 100 mil total in the US. It will have to do big numbers OS to even pass 300 mil.

Im guessing 275-325 mil WW if its OK and 350-450 mil if its great.

China really makes the difference nowdays.

Rampage owes 156,4 mil of its total (426,2 mil) to China.
Ready Player One owes 218,5 mil of its total (582 mil) to China.
The Meg owes 144 mil of its total (467,2 mil) to China.

Its not gonna be anywhere near top 25 when the year ends. Unless its a great movie.

Will have to see how long AM&W can hold on to the no.7 spot.

 

[8ulk87]

I can tell you exactly until when.

It will be after Fantastic Beast's 4th weekend. Sometime before it hits its 5th weekend or sligthly after like Monday the 17th.

Basically it will be in December. Early to mid December. Between the 3rd and the 17th of December. NOT any time sooner.

 

[Iceman]

Thanks for those projections. Where do you think it will finish on the 2018 worldwide chart once everything for 2018 has finished their runs.
