Wonka passed $100 million domestic yesterday, and is getting close to $275 million worldwide. Aquaman 2 slipped to #3 at the box office on Wednesday, behind Wonka and Migration.

Wonka previews at $3.5 million. Looking for $35 to $40 million weekend. EDIT: The Numbers is predicting around $32 million, but states that up to $40 million may not be "out of the question".

I think they'd figure it out. Most other entertainment has one, like stage productions. Most sporting events have a halftime or intermissions (hockey). Baseball even celebrates the seventh-inning stretch and most of those games are less than 3 hours these days. I wouldn't really care as long as...

But I think the point is that much of the audience is already making their own "intermission" by getting up and leaving the auditorium at random times along with whatever disruptions they cause to those sitting around them as they exit and re-enter in the darkness. These people are deciding when...

Theaters may start pushing back on intermission if films continue to push 3 hours or more: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/why-cinemas-want-to-bring-back-intermissions-1235712330/ That argument really holds no water (excuse the pun) as without a break people will just have...

Seems like there were some stories at the time of the first Captain Marvel painting Larson as difficult and unlikeable. It didn't seem to hurt that film, though maybe it's intensified over the years. I haven't heard much about it this time around.

No, I'm not saying it's going to come close to a billion, but it may not stumble as badly as recent DC efforts.

I'll give it a little more wait-and-see breathing room, as the first Aquaman was the only DC film so far to gross over $1 Billion ($1.152 B). Not sure if that will result in any carryover goodwill at the box office or not. Audiences seemed to love the first. Technically, even if A2 does...

Playing more like recent DC titles. Not a great result for Hunger Games, either, with a nearly 20% drop on Saturday.

Final numbers for The Marvels dropped by nearly $1 million, to $46.1 million.

Demographics from Killers' opening weekend (Deadline): Demo diagnostics for Killers of the Flower Moon on PostTrak are 62% Male/38% Female, with 46% of the audience between 18-34 years old and the largest quad being 25-34 years old at 27%, with an amazing 38% of the audience over 45. Diversity...

Yeah, I'm surprised more fans wouldn't do this. Aren't most planning to see it more than once anyway?

Thursday previews for the Taylor Swift concert film were $2.8 million. Seems kind of low, but they say the Thursday preview shows were announced at the last minute and the overall weekend is still looking like over $100 million. Seating charts at a local theater show the premium screen is...

Thursday "previews" from Deadline: The Creator and Saw X held previews last night while PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie skipped since they’re a matinee draw on the weekend while school is in session. Coming off Wednesday night premium screenings and Thursday night shows that began at 6PM, The...

Yeah, we have a couple of those around here. I imagine it's hard to stay open running art house titles exclusively.

Interesting. I wonder if that was a true sellout, or if there was some technical issue or maybe someone rented the theater for a private show? It's only reporting around $400 per screen for Wednesday. Though that is the highest mid-week average.

Bargain Tuesday allows Expend4bles to spend at least one day at #1. :D

Final numbers have a spread of about $500K.

The Conjuring Universe films have cumulatively grossed over $2 Billion worldwide. The Nun is the biggest individual success with over $365 million. The Nun 2 crossed $200 million worldwide this weekend .

And Oppenheimer still #10. Deadline reports that the actual spread between #1 and #2 is likely more than Lionsgate is reporting in their estimate.

Looks like The Nun 2 may rap the knuckles of another newcomer this weekend, with both that film and Expendables 4 looking to land somewhere around $8 million in the fight for #1. It appears that it may be so bad, Lionsgate may not even be reporting (so far) Friday estimates for Expend4bles.

Looks like the final numbers stayed about the same. Both seem to have shaved about $200K off their estimated totals, but it leaves the same slim margin for The Nun 2.

Weekend estimates have The Nun 2 taking the #1 spot over Haunting in Venice. Relatively good second weekend hold for a horror film (-55%) and a good Saturday boost to overcome the Thursday preview gross of Haunting.

Close race for #1 this weekend between Haunting in Venice and The Nun 2. The only difference in the Friday estimates ($5.5 million vs. $4.4 million) is really the Thursday preview money for Haunting. Will have to see if The Nun can make up the difference through Sat/Sun. If you remove the...

A Haunting in Venice with $1.2 million in previews. About the same as Death on the Nile ($1.1 million), and the weekend is also expected to be in the same ballpark (Death did $12.8 million opening). The difference here is Venice cost about 1/3 less to make ($60 million budget vs. $90 million...

And at about 1/3 the budget of Dial, likely will make a profit too. But it's aimed at the Asian audience and is still connecting there even if NA grosses are lower.

It looks like Barbie's daily gross dropped below $1 million for the first time yesterday, it's 47th day in release (48th if you include the first Thursday preview).

I think that's because it's over a week's worth of "previews" rather than a single day.

It will be interesting to see what happens. The discussion at Deadline seems to indicate other studios think Warner is already over-estimating Barbie by about $2 million at $17.1 mil.

Audiences have rejected most of the top tier DC character films other than Batman. I'm not sure why they kept green-lighting characters from the B-team. I'm also not sure any of the mass movie-going audience particularly cares about James Gunn or that anything he says carries any weight outside...
