Eternals Eternals at the Box Office

[Mysteryman]

I have a feeling this movie may play better in international markets than the US. So I can see the international numbers being strong enough to justify more.

FINGERS CROSSED!

$4.3 million Wednesday.

‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’ Opens To $2.3M Wednesday, Gets ‘A’ CinemaScore – Deadline

Disney’s Eternals posted a $4.3M Wednesday in first place at 4,090 locations. The pic’s weekday grosses have had solid holds to date with Monday earning $4.2M and Tuesday $5.25M. The running total through six days for the Chloe Zhao directed feature is $85.1M. The MCU title is expected to be down -60% to -65% in weekend 2 from its $71.3M opening with $25M-$28.5M.

That’s a rough drop

 

[Spider-Fan]

60-65% would be in line with a lot of blockbusters. So not a disaster. 65%+ is what we're looking to avoid

Looks like all of that cast diversity might pay off internationally.

Unless they edit some scenes out, this thing will remain banned in a few countries.

It’s rough for a Marvel movie that doesn’t have any real competition in its 2nd weekend though. I feel like anything in the 60s is rough. I don’t know why 65% drop would be ok but 66% is worrying. Seems like splitting hairs.

Because it is all about what is and what isn't in normal range. 65% isnt great either, but worst drop for MCU so far was Black Widow with 67%, and that had a D+ disadvantage. If this posts about that, not good. The MCU has had a few 60%+ drop movies. Not a ton, but a few. So it happens

South Korea seems to like the film. It’s over $18 million there, meaning it’s already surpassed Shang Chi’s entire run (15) and has also passed Venom 2, which is at 17.7 and almost done. Will be interesting to see if it can top Black Widow’s 26.3.

Nice! These big regional differences are really interesting.

Nice! These big regional differences are really interesting.

I think it's more the Don Lee factor than the movie itself.

30 seems high to me but we’ll see. Good Veterans Day number.

I was looking at this
Franchises (US & Canada) - Box Office Mojo

And they didn't even include MCU there... yet DCEU and FoX-Men are there

Decent hold all things considered.

‘Eternals’ Eyes $27M+ Second Weekend; ‘Clifford’ Woofs $20M: Box Office – Deadline

Good to know that it won't be a box office train wreck.
The haters would never have stopped talking about it if Clifford had beat Eternals.
Sounds like The Big Red Dog was no problem at all.

Looks like you were right.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Looks like you were right.

I think it would have hit 30+ in a normal week, but Veterans Day burned off a couple million in what likely would have been weekend sales.

Hopefully that means any missed numbers from that are made up later in the run.

That NA drop is slightly better than expected. Hope this keeps the Disney suits happy enough that this is an IP worth revisiting

 

[Comicbookguy339]

That's a good drop considering the low cinemascore..
