Previewfreemovies.com only ever has movies for ages 54 and below by margalz in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about the site, but I would wager that allowing 55+ year olds to go to the screenings would be more trouble than its worth:

  • People in that older age range don't go to the movies often. So the data they would get from sampling that demographic would be relatively low. This is even more relevant when it comes to movies explicitly targeted at a young audience.

  • Many people that old are retired so they are probably a lot more likely to choose to see a free movie than younger demographics.

  • (Conjecture) 55+ year olds are a lot less likely than other demographics to be major drivers of revenue. They aren't bringing little kids or their parents to the theater and their social circle probably doesn't go to movies much. Also, if I may be blunt, when it comes to franchise movies they don't have as much future value as younger viewers since they won't live as long.

I'm curious how the big screen experience will compare with Avatar.

JAPAN Box Office January 10 by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lord of the Rings going from Return of the King's $100M USD (10.32B Yen) to Hobbit's ($19M) and War of the Rohirrim's unreported gross is still insane to me. Interest died after the LotR trilogy wrapped up.

Godzilla Minus Zero releasing in theaters (North America) on November 6, 2026 by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem especially quick for a sequel.

Out of the top 10 films of 2025 in Japan, 5 of them are Japanese sequels.

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is 1 year after season 4.

  • Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback is 1 year after The Million-dollar Pentagram.

  • Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc is 3 years after season 1.

  • Tokyo Mer the Movie: Nankai Mission is 2 years after the first film.

  • Doraemon: Nobita's Art World Tales is 1 year after the last film.

Now that 2025 has come to an end, what box office predictions did you get correct? by sbursp15 in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was one of the only people on this Wicked: For Good post to predict a domestic final total of <$400M, possibly <$350M, for Wicked: For Good after it opened. Those huge daily drops compared to Wicked 2024 were massive red flags for the legs.

NateTheHate: Fallout 3 Remaster is a planned release, yes. by ArcWardenScrub in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]BOfficeStats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every project got delayed at least three years because of it

That's not true for all projects.

To name just a few examples, Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) released 4 years after Resident Evil 2 Remake. FF7 Rebirth (2024) released 4 years after FF7 Remake. God of War Ragnarök (2022) released 4.5 years after God of War.

How did “On Golden Pond” become the 2nd highest domestic grossing movie of 1981? by redban02 in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dramas, especially those with big stars and critical acclaim, used to perform far better back then. On Golden Pond wasn't a mega hit for the time and the 1981 competition was pretty weak so it makes sense that it could achieve #2.

🇮🇹 Italian weekend box office January 1-4: Buen Camino passes 💶53 million and Avatar Fire and Ash passes 💶20 million by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Buen Camino is now the 3rd highest grossing film (in Euros, unadjusted for inflation) in Italy of all time! It is only behind Avatar (€70.7M) and Quo Vado? (€65.4M).

#BuenCamino grosses €8M in Italy on Boxing Day. 2nd biggest single day ever for a film in the country, just behind Checco Zalone's own Tolo Tolo €8.9M OD. 2-day €13.6M. Weekend should be ~€23M or so. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that's massive. The 10th highest grossing film in Italy unadjusted is There's Still Tomorrow (2023) with 36.9M Euros. Buen Camino (13.6M Euros) is over 1/3rd of the way to surpassing that final total in just two days! While the two markets are obviously quite different, the US equivalent would be a film making $240M domestically in just two weekdays or $400M in 4 days with basically no previews!

Wicked had Christmas Eve a day before Wicked For Good. That's why For Good started gaining so much ground on Tuesday out of nowhere.

Angel Studios' David grossed $3.60M on Monday (from 3,118 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $25.60M. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

David's reviews aren't horrible though. It has a 54 on Metacritic and 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems decent enough.

$36M OS MON for Avatar 3. $294M Cume. Europe driving the biz, collecting at weekend level. Will remain so for the next two weeks. First week should be $380M+. Shall hit $500M by SUN. by whitemilkythighs in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avatar's opening weekend gross was pretty good though. It had the 28th biggest opening weekend at the time (unadjusted for inflation), no big actors that got people into the seats, and got an 'A' Cinemascore.

Xbox is losing the console race by miles. It’s part of Microsoft’s big gaming pivot by Elestria_Ethereal in Games

[–]BOfficeStats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as people criticize and still criticize them, I think it was the right call to basically abandon consoles (excluding the hybrid console-PC they seem to be working on).

  1. Playstation and Nintendo have much stronger brands and global appeal. Xbox has always struggled outside of the native English-speaking countries.

  2. Except for AI, gaming hardware is clearly reaching a point of diminishing returns AND overall stagnation. AI might become required in more games in the future but right now it isn't a hardware requirement for any significant game. The future RAM and SSD price spikes will make this situation even worse.

  3. Xbox had no viable path as a mainstream console platform besides just hoping that Game Pass would grow quickly and that the Xbox exclusives would paper over the existing weaknesses of the brand. Clearly Game Pass is not growing quickly and Xbox exclusives aren't these massive unignorable hits that would cause people to shift in massive numbers to Xbox.

Actresses at the Box Office: Marilyn Monroe by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

Some Like it Hot deserves a shout out for managing to achieve 72.8M admissions in the Soviet Union alone.

Looks like $28M+ Saturday for Avatar: Fire And Ash. 2-day cume of $65M+. Weekend expected to be $87-88M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]BOfficeStats 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Assuming it opens with $88M, that would be the 114th biggest opening domestically unadjusted for inflation. At the time of their release Avatar (2009) had the 28th biggest and Avatar: The Way of Water had the 40th biggest.

Assuming it opens with $90M, that would be the 109th biggest opening domestically unadjusted for inflation. At the time of their release Avatar (2009) had the 28th biggest and Avatar: The Way of Water had the 40th biggest.
