I'm not too surprised about The Flash. It actually ended up being a very good movie.

Unless I'm mistaken, this movie is a hit. Remember, there were talks about them shelving the movie and writing it off as a loss.

Theaters going to have to get creative. And let people bring in they own food or something.

and the way these movies are coming out 3 weeks later to on-demand and streaming people better off waiting. :manny:

Miles Raping Sony Stans Till He's the $500M Spider-Man

Screenshot-20230622-180529.png

:wow:

Congratulations to Miles for joining the $500M Club. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is the 18th highest grossing animated film ever at the domestic box office. It's $294.2M passes Up's $293M. Shrek the Third's $322.7M is the next to fall from a Miles Venom Strike.

Worldwide, Across the Spider-Verse is now the 56th highest grossing animated film of all time. It's $506.3M trails Aladdin's and its $504M in 55th place. It'll probably be in 50th place after the weekend, passing How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World's $521.5M.

With the inevitable Flash fall off, can Miles regain the number 1 spot this weekend? It'll have the No Hard Feelings to contend with, as the Jennifer Lawrence comedy makes its debut in around 3,000 theaters. I like Miles' chances.

Miles Venom Strikes Back with a Vengeance. Spider-Man 1610 is #1 Again: Weekend Box Office Results (Jun. 23-25)


After a 2-week respite, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, is back in the number one spot in the box office. :wow: Shades of last year when No Way Home dropped to the second spot when Scream came out and snatched the top spot back the very next week. This is the first time since the weekend of February 12th that a sub-$20M grossing movie claimed the top spot.

With $317M domestically, Across the Spider-Verse is just $17.2M away from tying Homecoming's $334.2M total. It just passed Jumanji: The Next Level's $316.8M to become Sony's 8th biggest domestic movie ever. It's $5.7M away from becoming the 16th highest grossing animated movie ever. Like I mentioned on Thursday, Shrek the Third holds the 16th spot down right now.

Did he end up having to pay for that beef patty? :jbhmm: who gives a f***. Keep swinging, Miles. :salute:

Holding on strong for back-to-back second place finishes was Elemental with $18.4M. That was better than Lightyear's $18.1 million second weekend. And that represented a 64.1% drop for Lightyear from its $50.5 million debut. Elemental's 37.6% drop was, and forgive the pun here, light years better than what Buzz managed. :skip: with $121 million, Elemental is the 16th highest grossing movie this year world.

The Flash was gone in a flash, tumbling down to third place with only $15.2 million in its second weekend. That's a 72.3% decline. Are you f****** kidding me? :huhldup: Black Adam, which got a lot of hate, held the number one spot three weekends in a row. It was only down by 59% in its 2nd weekend, when it brought home $27.4 million. After 2 weeks, The Flash's $87.6M is 21% off of Black Adam's $110.9M pace. :wow:

Still love you, Sasha. :whew:
Flying off like 50 :skip:

Now we get to No Hard Feelings, which opened in fourth place with $15.1 million. The Jennifer Lawrence comedy scored a tepid B cinemascore. It's sitting at a 68% on the tomato meter and 58% on Metacritic. It won Friday with $6.2 million but $2.1M of that came from Thursday previews so, technically, it lost every day of the weekend. It finished 4th on Saturday and Sunday. It's a movie that I had absolutely no interest in. I've never liked the American Pie movies. I think I've only seen the first one once and No Hard Feelings was compared to those films. So, nah, I'm good.

On second thought :jbhmm: @humminbird, @PAWG Life, I know y'all got a Siskel and Ebert level review for this. :russ: Does J-Law still have it? Inquiring minds wanna know. :patrice:

Rounding out the top five was Transformers: Rise of the Beast with $11.6 million. It's running total of $122.9 million is on the verge of surpassing Bumblebee's 127.1M and Transformers: The Last Knight's $130.1M domestic totals. Bumblebee was only down 36.8% in its third weekend when it made $13.2 million so Rise of the Beasts is a little bit off that pace.

The Little Mermaid sits at $499.3M worldwide.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 passed the $350M mark. It's at $351.1M.

Looks like Transformers will do well enough to warrant a greenlit sequel from Paramount and hopefully release the next one during a month that’s not as busy.

Elemental is an underdog right now, cool to see it holding on despite the weak opening. Guess it got tired of being grouped with The Flash.

Feel like a broken record talking about how much of a hit Across the Spider-Verse is at this point. Could see the next one breaking $800mil WW depending on whenever it drops…

Flabbiana Jones and the Dial of Disappointment: Weekend Box Office Results (Jun. 30 - Jul. 2)


Harrison Ford's send off as :flabbynsick: ana Jones in  The Dial of Destiny is here and it's number one at the box office with $60 million. That's actually an improvement from the $55 million it was looking at after it's $24 million Friday opening. This was the 6th widest opening in history as the movie played in 4,600 theaters. All five movies that open wider open bigger. Matter fact, of the 10 widest openings in history, The Dial of Destiny only beat out The Secret Life of Pets 2's $46.6 million opening from 4,561 theaters. :lolbron:

How does this Indy compared to the prior Indy? The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had a $100.1 million opening weekend back in May of 2008. It ended up doing $126.9 million over Memorial Day weekend. And that movie only had a B cinemascore. If you remember it, it wasn't that good and I haven't seen it since maybe 2010. The dial of destiny actually ended up with a B+ cinemascore. So better word of mouth but a much worse showing in its opening weekend. It makes sense when Dial of Destiny is coming off of Crystal Skull and Crystal Skull was coming off of the beloved Last Crusade.

What's even more perplexing is the fact that Dial of Destiny is rocking a gargantuan $300 million production budget.

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had a $185 million budget back in 2008. Adjusted for inflation, that's $259 million. That is just inexcusable. You know, we talked about Fast X's and Black Adam's budgets. Fast X: $340M and Black Adam: $200M *$260M w/ reshoots, respectively. Black Adam was an unknown superhero origin story that opened on fewer screens and still made $67 million. Like Indiana Jones, Fast X has the history. It opened in even fewer theaters than Black Adam and still made $67 million. That's a flop for The Dial of Destiny no matter how you slice it. :yeshrug:

At least it'll do $82 million over the 5-day holiday weekend.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse edges out Elemental for the second weekend in a row. With another 11.5 million in the bank, Miles and the rest of the Spider-Men have totaled $339.8 million domestically and $607.2 million globally. It's now just a couple of million shy of surpassing Zootopia's $341.2 million to become the 15th highest grossing animated movie ever domestically. It's running 8.5% ahead of Guardians 3, which made made $10.6 million in its fifth weekend. :obama:

Elemental dropped to third place with $11.3 million. It's closing in on $100 million domestically with $93.6 million after the holiday weekend. It's looking to catch light years $118.3 million total. For Elemental it's all but elementary at this point. :wow:

thumbs-up-bernie-lumen.gif


Remaining in fourth place was No Hard Feelings with $7.5 million down 50% from its opening weekend. With $29.3 million, it's already passed Sony's The Invitation which made $25.1 million last year. In its second weekend of wide release, Sony's last comedy, A man called Otto, had made $19 million. That movie liked its way to 64.2 million so maybe Jennifer Lawrence and her rear naked suplexes can do what Tom Hanks did.

Jennifer-Lawrence-.gif


Transformers: Rise of the Beasts took 5th with $7 million. So it officially passes The Last Knight's $130.1 million and Bumblebee's $127.1 million totals. I don't foresee it passing Age of Extinction's $245.4 million domestic total but can it pass Bumblebee's $465.1 global total? It's made $379 million so far.

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, which @Lootpack mentioned last week, and I saw an ad for on my firestick, opened with $5.2 million. They got an A-cinemascore, not far off of Elemental's straight A. :leon: If you don't know about this movie, I can't blame you. It's an animated DreamWorks pic.





The Flash, which I saw on Tuesday and very much enjoyed, is at $99.2 million after a $5 million 3rd weekend.

The Boogeyman will total $41.5 million after the holiday weekend including $62.3 million worldwide. Without the holiday weekend, it's at $40.9 million which is enough to pass Barbarian's 40.8 million domestic total.

Not defending the movie but Like who actually gives a fukk about box office receipts. It's like retards and their obsession with album sales, it don't mean shyt at the end of the day if the album sucks and that artist happens to be the hottest thing out yet they keep dropping overhyped garbage everyone anticipates (drake)

Thought the movie was decent. Maybe the second best after raiders. It’s just hard to have that grittyness in movies like the 80s had.
