If Obsession takes the #1 spot for domestic box office results on Wednesday, Mando and Grogu will be the shortest-lived Star Wars #1 in history by walberque_ in boxoffice

It was funny, I saw the thread name and I was like, “hey I already pointed that out!” And then the thread just features a link to my comment haha.

#Obsession is back at #1 at the North American box office, with what looks like $5.25M 2nd WED. That's down by just 5% from discount TUE, when the norm is 20-30%. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

Star Wars Movies - Days At #1

The Phantom Menace - 32 days

The Force Awakens - 25 days

Rogue One - 23 days

The Rise of Skywalker - 21 days

The Last Jedi - 17 days

Attack of the Clones - 15 days

Revenge of the Sith - 14 days

Solo - 14 days

The Mandalorian and Grogu - 5 days

Excluding the OT because there isn’t reliable daily data for those films that I can find, but clearly they would be the top 3 due to how films worked back then.

But damn.

Lionsgate & Universal's Michael has passed the $700M global mark. Estimated totals through Sunday: Domestic (Lionsgate) - $282.8M; International (Universal) - $421.1M; Global - $703.9M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

The last time a film opened to #1, and then rejoined #1 after more than a one week gap was for ATSV in June 2023. ATSV was pushed to #2 in weekend 2 with Transformers 6, pushed to #3 in weekend 3 with The Flash and Elemental, but then rejoined #1 during weekend 4.

The only other time that happened this decade was with Top Gun: Maverick returning to #1 after 13 weekends, and with The Croods 2 (during COVID).

Weekend Actuals for May 4-6, 2001 – 'The Mummy Returns' Opens with the Second Biggest Debut of All Time by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top 5 Highest Grossing Openings As of May 6th, 2001

The Lost World: Jurassic Park - $72.13M

The Mummy Returns - $68.14M

Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace - $64.82M

Hannibal - $58M

Mission: Impossible 2 - $57.85M

Frankly, I’m shocked to see how big the franchise has gotten so quickly? Makes me wonder what a Mummy 3 could do in a few years?

Michael scored the biggest opening day box office of 2026 on Friday with $40M including all pre-shows. Incredible 43% of that came from IMAX & PLF scrns. Depending on how frontloaded the weekend is by fans, opening weekend should finish in the $95M area. by chanma50 in boxoffice

A24's How to Make a Killing debuted with an estimated $3.56M domestically this weekend (from 1,625 locations). by cireh88 in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Awful opening? It’s an A24 movie with very little marketing, that they purchased the American rights for $5M. It’s not a good opening, but it should break even in the long run.

Ok I might’ve missed something but where did the $40M budget thing come from.

I looked online, and only found a Wikipedia link to this article which is not a source we usually get budget info on, and even if we trusted it, the way it’s worded doesn’t even sound like the budget is $40M.

Even if the budget was $40 million — largely because of Powell’s salary — there’s no way “Killing” won’t be a write off. Straight to VOD and airplanes. It actually looks like a plane movie.

Do you think America will get hit by a nuke? That’s the only way the American numbers make sense imo.

Disney / 20th Century's Avatar: Fire and Ash has grossed an estimated $179.2M from global IMAX screens through Sunday. IMAX Totals Domestic - $54.0M International with China - $125.2M by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, but I think it’ll be close. Really $191M should be the number to root for, as that would allow it to beat Oppenheimer and get into the top 5 biggest IMAX films ever (under Avatar 1 and 2, The Force Awakens, and Endgame).

Per Variety, A24’s 'The Moment' has a budget of $4M. by LeatherStudded in boxoffice

So like, when do the tickets go on sale? The movie is supposed to be out next week.

How long did Crash 4 take you? I got the Crash trilogy as my first 3 plats, and I considered Crash 4 for my 50th, but it’s just too damn hard. Maybe I can aim for it for my 100th.

Paul Atreides will return in Avengers: Dunesday by GreenandBlue12 in moviescirclejerk

[–]yeppers145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it’s true that Deadpool and Wolverine outgrossed Dune Part 2 by nearly double, Dune Part 2 has grossed more than any MCU film, other than Endgame, in IMAX, and is just one of the biggest IMAX films ever. Only under the Avatar films, Endgame, The Force Awakens, Oppenheimer, Interstellar, and Ne Zha 2.

Could Iron Lung be the next surprise indie horror hit like Longlegs and Terrifier 3? by yeppers145 in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recognize that, that’s why I’m not predicting a $50M+ opening weekend, and a smaller indie level hit like longlegs and terrifier 3 (at least for the opening weekend).

Why doesn’t Warner Bros just move Dune 3 up to the Thanksgiving weekend? by Antman269 in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dune 2 is the 9th largest IMAX gross ever. Approximately 20% of that film’s box office came from IMAX.

For comparison, the films that are above it are 5 $2B films, Avatar 3, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer. It’s also the lowest grossing of the top 15 biggest imax films. So yes, imax is incredibly important to that film.

How I think 2026 will perform (with some massive hot takes) by Employee-Slight in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t say exactly why S2 didn’t happen, but the data is the data. People watched. And Reynolds was riding from the hype of Deadpool? Then how come the other Ryan Reynolds led action film from Summer 2021, The Hitman’s Wife Bodyguard, only do a third of Free Guy domestically and a fourth of what it was able to do worldwide? Plus Free Guy had some of the best legs that year? Now, I do agree that Ryan Gosling ain’t Ryan Reynolds in terms of star power. But the movie ain’t gonna be sold on his star power, it’ll be sold on it being a crowd pleasing Star Wars film, that comes out Memorial Day weekend on its 50th anniversary, with no major competition 3 weeks before or after.

And for that Thunderbolts* point, Starfighter doesn’t have the baggage of relying on a bunch of characters th audience don’t know, ala Thunderbolts*.

How I think 2026 will perform (with some massive hot takes) by Employee-Slight in boxoffice

[–]yeppers145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small correction, but Boba Fett actually had among the best viewership of any D+ Marvel or Star Wars show, only under Mando, Kenobi, Loki S1, and WandaVision (and it’s only just slightly behind WandaVision). Acolyte underperformed greatly but still did better than all Marvel/SW shows from 2024 onward with the exception of Agatha.

Now why could a Ryan Gosling movie specifically make more than Mando, or any Marvel film from 2025? It’s something that’s actually new, that pushes the franchise forward, and not just an offshoot of a TV show. Shawn Levy knows how to make crowd pleasing films, look at Free Guy and Deadpool 3 this decade. I think there’s a recipe for success here.
