My Thoughts
After years of trailers,
Bullet Train, finally made its way to theaters. And would you look at that, it debuted at #1, to the tune of $30.1 million. That's right on the money with the projections. It also pulled in another $32.4 mill at the international box office, for a total gross of $62.5 million. Audiences seem to like it, as it has a 7.5 on IMDb so far. Apparently "The Twins," played by Paper Boi and MCU Quicksilver, were the highlights of the movie. Shout out to Brian Tyree Henry. Also, a shout out to Zazie Beetz, who apparently had a great fight scene with Brad Pitt's character.
DC League of Super-Pets fell by 51.3% this weekend, as it took 2nd place with $11.2 million. It now stands at $45.1 million domestically and $83.4 million worldwide. It's holding strong at a 7.8 on IMDb out of 18,000 ratings.
You better knock that shyt off, Clark. Don't make me call Bruce up with the Kryptonite.
Did
Nope make $10+ million like I thought it would? Nope. It's now finished behind
Super Pets for consecutive weekends.
Nope took 3rd place with another $8.4 million, which was down 54.3% from last weekend. It was also shown in 791 fewer theaters than last week.
Nope is seeing a reduction in theaters it's 3rd weekend
AFTER it saw an increase last weekend.
It still hasn't been released Internationally yet but it's now grossed $97.9 million; it will join the $100 million club next week.
Coming in 4th was the 4th
Thor movie.
Love and Thunder grossed another $7.6 million in it's fifth weekend. Its $316 million domestic gross puts it ahead of
Thor: Ragnarok's $315 million.
Ragnarok grossed $853.9 million worldwide, with a lil bit of help ($112.2 million worth of help) from China and $23.6 mill from Russia.
Love and Thunder now stands at $698.8 worldwide without the benefit of China or Russia.
Closing out the top five with another $7.1 million was
Minions: Rise of Gru. It now stands at $334.5 million domestically and $905 million worldwide.
Rise of Gru will pass the first
Minions' domestic total of $336 million next week. This is really impressive when you consider that
Rise of Gru has only grossed $2.4 million in Russia. It was not released in China, unlike
Despicable Me 3, which grossed $184 million in China and Russia combined.
I guess you are, you little minionfukka.
Notables from Outside the Top 5
Top Gun: Maverick has now moved into 7th place all time at the Domestic Box Office with $662.5 million. It's also grossed the $1.3 billion mark.
Jurassic World Dominion is now up to $960 million worldwide, which means it has passed
Doctor Strange 2 to claim the #2 spot at Worldwide Box Office this year. It also just became #50 all time at the Domestic Box Office, moving ahead of
The Passion of the Christ.
For
@Red Shield and
@Lootpack, who mentioned A24's
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies last week: in a limited release of only 6 theaters in New York and LA, it grossed an impressive
$226,526. That's good for
$37,754 per screen. That makes for the second-best "limited screen" average debut this year, after the
$50,130 opening weekend theater average posted by A24’s
Everything Everywhere All at Once.
See y'all next week. I may start doing projection posts mid week to add to the thread as well to keep the discussion going. Let me know what y'all think.
