It wasn’t all that long ago that theaters aspired to it Black Adam to become the big boom they needed to sustain numbers through the fall season, and this film will surely be the highest-grossing film of the fall. Ultimately, theaters also paid some of the bills to smile, The Woman Kingand even Halloween ends for about a weekend. Overall, however, this fall season will drop nearly $100 million from 2021, which had help from poison, James Bond, Shang Chiand Halloween kills (for about a week.) Black Adam will lead the way for another weekend but it is now Black Panther that they have in mind.
King of the Harvest: Black Adam Threepeats over a slow weekend
Where is that Black Adam then? Certainly a third straight week at number one, which is about the only thing DC and WB can do in their headlines. It earned $18.5 million in its third frame, bringing its 17-day total to $137 million, good enough for ninth-all-time among October releases. But that’s still no further than last year no time to die ($133.2 million) and still far behind Marvel’s eternal ($150.7 million). Optimistically, the third weekend was higher than those films’ $12.2 and $11 million, respectively, but the final estimate of between $160 million and $170 million is still the likely scenario and nowhere near what Warner Bros. needs , as the international total currently stands at another $182 million. The global total is $319 million and a minimum of $500 million is needed to break even. This is now the fourth Warner Bros. film since 2020 to top the box office for three straight weeks and not march to $200 million. Hard to blame principle, Wonder Woman 1984and Godzilla vs Kong for not achieving that during the pandemic. Crazy rich Asians was the last to do that for the studio in 2019, and that only cost $30 million compared to Adams’ budget of almost $200 million.
The top 10 and beyond: One Piece Movie: Red Offers another strong anime debut
crunchy rolls One Piece Movie: Red may not quite have the fan base that theirs dragon ball and Demon Hunter Movies have started at over $21 million a piece in the last two years. But $9.4 million is nothing to shake a stick at given what they’ve been up to lately One piece Movie, rush, opened in 541 theaters in October 2019 for just $357,740, for an average per theater of just $661. A $4,003 PTA in 2,367 is more like that. Red even surpassed Black Adam on Friday. The last two major releases from the anime studio, Dragon Ball Super: Superhero and My Hero Academia: World Hero MissionShe did not double her opening weekend Red may end up with less than $20 million, but that’s still quite a win and we should see them in the future.
The comedy on the big screen was considered barely breathing a month ago but the vehicle of George Clooney/Julia Roberts Entrance ticket to paradise continues to hold its audience. A 14% drop to $8.5 million this weekend brings the total to over $46 million. That puts it over a million ahead of the horse racing drama office, which also had a $7 million third weekend, ending with $59.7 million. If the numbers hold up paradise should get just over $60 million. The film will eventually gross over $150 million worldwide. It now sits at $137.2 million and, thanks to a $60 million price tag, will need about $170 million to turn a profit in cinemas. But still good for theater.
Over in the Now Post-Halloween horror arena, to smile continues its run toward $100 million, a milestone the film should hit next weekend. It grossed another $4 million this weekend to hit over $99 million. In his sixth weekend, he managed to surpass the second weekend booty for the devil, which grossed $3.8 million for a total of $13.6 million. Daniel Stamm’s last major release, The Last Exorcismgrossed over $41 million in 2010 after opening at $20.3 million. horror 2 continues to be one of the horror stories of the year, with a fifth straight week in the top 10. It is now just under $10 million after earning another $1.2 million. Halloween ends, meanwhile, only earned another $1.1 million, bringing his grand total to $63.4 million. The film must reach $64.16 million or else it holds the record for worst multiple from opening weekend to final gross for a feature film released in over 3,000 theaters. 2009 Friday the 13th currently holds that record at 1.6022.
Finally, let’s update on the limited releases that have been spreading across the country as of late. James Grays Armageddon period jumped into 1,006 theaters this weekend and grossed just $810,000 for Focus. The same studio was hoping for more from its big Oscar hopeful, Todd Field’s tar, which raked in another $670,000 this weekend to bring its total to just $3.7 million. You might be wondering if they should hold it back for another month and let it culminate in the heart of awards season. UA releases until fell 31% to $1.87 million, bringing total gross to $6.5 million. Martin McDonagh fared better on his first wide launch The Banshees by Inisherin, which grossed $2 million in 895 theaters to finish sixth and also tops $3 million. This is a similar way as Mary, Queen of Scots with Saoirse Ronan in December 2018. A $194,777 opening in four theaters (banshees $184,454 in four), followed by $699,745 in 66 theaters (banshees grossed $535,170 in 58) and then $2.27 million in 795 theaters its third weekend. Maria Had some help over the holidays then but Searchlight would certainly like to see that banshees continue on the same path as this film ended up grossing $16.4 million.
On the vine: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Looks to dominate
The holiday movie season starts in earnest next week with the first of its two guaranteed box office hits. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The first film opened in February 2018 with over $202 million and was the third-highest-grossing film of all time up to that point Avengers, Endgame, Spider-Man: No Way Homeand Top Gun: Maverick exceeded it. Still one of only six films to gross over $700 million domestically, the film promises to be an emotional one after losing its king, Chadwick Boseman. How far will the audience take it?
