Box office discussion

Not really. It still underperformed compare to the 2019 movie.
That's why I said given where it started from, in terms of its opening weekend. It's been leggy as hell, especially over the holidays - which is a good sign for Disney.
I didn't mention the 2019 one as its obviously nowhere that one.

Its not rare for films that were released in the holiday season to have legs. Its also a family movie and didn't have much competition aside from Sonic. If Spider-Man and Avengers pulled the same numbers, after their last movie earned a billion, I highly doubt their respective studio would be happy about it.

Not even remotely the same thing seeing as this was a prequel that no one really asked for. It would be like Disney suddenly announcing a Spiderman prequel about Peter Parker in high school & he doesn't have powers for the whole film.
Looking at it on its own merits, its made its money back & probably some profit. From its opening weekend, that's not a bad place to end up.

Even if its a prequel, it should be doing more than, as a successor to a 1.6 billion dollar movie. The movie still costs more than $200 million, so its not a cheap cash grab that earned $700 million.

Its hard to look at its own merit, when the 2019 movie was such a big success. Do you think Disney bosses celebrated when they saw these numbers and now thinking of options for a third movie?
 
Yeah, I would say when Disney greenlit it, I’m sure they were expecting at least a billion haul. And much better critical reviews by hiring Barry Jenkins.

In the end, I’m sure they’re happy now it did ok after the dread of that opening weekend and seemingly good audience WOM. I doubt we’ll get a third movie though but who knows.

The Lion King 1/2!

I think Disney should just leave these remakes as one-offs. The follow up movies just don't perform that well. Maleficent 2, Alice Through the Looking Glass, now Mufasa. From $1.6 billion to $707 million is just not great to see. For other movies, $707 million would have been great but as a spin off/prequel to a $1.6 billion. Thats just not impressive. Studios don't make these spin offs and prequels just to earn less than 50% of the first film's box office numbers.
 
Word for Brave New World hasn't been great but to be fair, its top grossing movie in North America, until I guess Jurassic World/Superman comes out.

Same with worldwide, removing China movies, Brave New World would be the #1 movie of 2025 for few months. Though Mission: Impossible should gross much better than Dead Reckoning Part I in North America. It should at least clear $500 million globally.

Snow White should be interesting, I feel like it should easily outgross Brave New World but the projections aren't good.

I forgot Minecraft. It should at clear $400 million (WW) therefore outgrossing Brave New World.
 
Mickey 17 just looks like a hard sell. Not surprised. Sometimes it could be easy to predict whats gonna attract the mainstream audience.

The rest from the March line up doesn't look promising either, box office wise. I have no intention in watching Minecraft next month. Until Dawn is a "watch-at-home kind of movie when I'm bored" for me. So I have no reason to go to the cinemas until Thunderbolts*' release week.
 
I can see Snow White playing out similar to the Little Mermaid.
 
I think the prediction is it’s going more Dumbo than Little Mermaid (which actually did really well domestically).
