The Box Office thread

it's impressive especially because "Demon Hunter" has a much wider appeal. "Chainsaw Man" is very much NOT for kids. You can take the entire family to "Demon Hunter".
 
Pleasantly surprised that Black Phone 2 had a solid hold too.
 
Black Phone 2 is quickly zeroing in on $100 Million worldwide while Tron Ares is going to be an unmitigated flop (it costing $180 Million is a death knell).

Demon Slayer The Movie: Infinity Castle has cracked $666 Million (an insane $132 Million domestic) and already ranks Top 8 in All-Time Worldwide Box Office Gross for an R Rated Movie. Chainsaw Man: The Movie Reze Arc will also likely crack $25 Million by the end of the week domestically with a wider international release in Europe this weekend (Finland, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine).

I posted in the chat but this year's Halloween weekend may be the 4th, 5th, or 6th (depending on final ticket sales) lowest weekend of all-time since 1982 in terms of actual tickets sold. The vast majority of the Top 10 list was 2022-2025 with only 1987 cracking it.
 
I will have to investigate on Box Office Mojo or some site, but isn't the box office always terrible when Halloween falls on a Friday or Saturday? I can see why the studios didn't release anything because with Halloween being on a weekend, people will want to attend parties or whatever instead of going to theaters.

It's weird how the studios released almost zero horror movies in October besides The Black Phone 2 and a couple of indies like Good Boy and Shelby Oaks. Conjuring could've come out in October and made the same money if not more. And, Five Night's At Freddy's 2 will make money, but opening it in a stacked December instead of an October that had no real big releases (With Mortal Kombat 2 moving to next year) is a baffling decision from Blumhouse.

I also think "Black Phone 2" is the only real hit Blumhouse has had this year, as they've become mostly overshadowed other studios (Neon, A24 and even Shudder feel like they get more hype-hell, stuff like "Clown in a Cornfield" and "Good Boy" feel like they got more attention than "The Woman in the Yard" or "Drop") and the like of "Sinners", "Weapons" and "Final Destination: Bloodlines".
 
I'm not usually a fan of Christopher Landon's style and humor. Happy Death Day 1 was solid and carried by the lead actress, but Part 2 pushed the concept to annoyance for me. I think I'm the only person online not to enjoy or have fun watching Freaky or Heart Eyes (He wrote it and didn't direct, but his fingerprints were all over it), which I usually see get nothing but glowing praise. I didn't like We Have A Ghost or Scout's Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse either. His Paranormal Activity movie (The Marked Ones) might be my favorite movie he's done, and it's pretty much devoid of comedy for the most part.

With that said, Drop deserved so much better. I really enjoyed that one, and it felt like his most locked in movie. I think it had some juice to connect with an audience, but it wasn't marketed very well. Although, that waiter that kept interrupting the dinner to plug his improv classes was classic Landon humor. I got tired of that character pretty quick, but he was in the entire movie because I guess he was supposed to be hilarious. Still, Landon was really confident in his directing throughout, and I'm excited to see what he does next.

Sentimental Value (Neon) $200,000
Peter Hujar's Day (Janus) $47,100

This is apparently the biggest debut for a "Predator" movie in the US and Worldwide ($80 Million). "Black Phone 2" is still making cash even though it's now on PVOD, and man that Springsteen movie really underperformed.

Next week is "The Running Man", "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" and "Keeper". The two weeks after should be interesting, with "Wicked: For Good" on the 21st and "Zootopia 2" on the 26th. The 21st also gets a sequel to "Sisu", and the 26th is "Eternity"
 
If you told me an Anime Chainsaw Man movie would nearly double the domestic BO of a Springsteen biopic I'd have laughed in your face. Sounds like it only covering an album and not his whole career didn't help with interest even amongst Springsteen diehards.
 
Black Phone 2 has to be making Blumhouse happy as it's now hit $123 Million worldwide. Also One Battle After Another is closing in on $200 Million worldwide.
 
I see Edgar Wright getting more blame for this than Glen Powell on the box office subreddit and I don't get it. Powell has been everywhere for a month promoting the movie, and I can't escape all the bullshit "I got Tom Cruise on speed dial giving me (THE NEXT TOM CRUISE) advice" articles from his relentless PR team. I'm not a fan of him, but it seems like his niche is more rom coms like Anyone But You and Set It Up than action star. He should probably try to lean into the type of romcom roles McConaughey was doing in the 00's instead of putting this annoying "Next Tom Cruise" label on himself. Cruise was already a megastar and got oscar nominated for Magnolia by the time he was Powell's age.
 
Cruise was also doing a lot of thrillers too and wasn't really an "action" star in the way they are trying to push as Powell's trying to be.

Top Gun was 1986, Days of Thunder was 1990, Mission Impossible was 1996, and Mission Impossible 2 was 2000 (which IMO Cruise really started leaning into his current action star persona with that movie and Minority Report/War of the Worlds immediately afterwards).

In between he did Rain Man, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview With the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, Eyes Wide Shut, and Magnolia. A lot of different fare and pretty far from "action star" Tom Cruise as we know him more today.

"Now You See Me" also made $75 million overseas in its first week. Correct me if I'm wrong but is "The Running Man" the second Stephen King adaptation this year to underperform (I think "The Long Walk" ended up doing okay but I'm not sure). Also, one of two adaptations of his work as Richard Bachman.

Next week is "Wicked: For Good", "Rental Family" and "Sisu: Road to Vengeance" (wanna see this one, as the first was a blast), with the classic Anime "Angel's Egg" getting a limited rerelease. The week after is "Zootopia 2" and "Eternity". December starts with "Five Nights at Freddy's 2", "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair", "Merrily We Go Along", anime in "Jujitsu Kaisen: Execution" and a limited opening for "Hamnet".

I think The Long Walk did a profit (not including post-theatrical release as somebody who did rent it POD on Prime) doing $62.178 Million worldwide. Its budget was around $20 Million.

One of the things about Lionsgate is 1.) a lot of their movies don't cost a lot to make, and 2.) ones that do (the new "Now You See Me" movie cost $90 million) tend to get a lot of that money from foreign investors. Granted, most of the films they release nowadays either underperform or aren't given huge releases, but in this case it works out for them
 
Wicked: For Good is getting a lot of middling reviews from critics with the majority of IMDB being 6-8 scores but it made $68.8 Million on Friday alone so I'm sure the theaters are ecstatic. The more concerning thing is that this is basically a 1 movie weekend as the other movies didn't do much at all on Friday so we'll see how the overall weekend box office looks.

"Zootopia 2" has the third highest three-day domestic opening for a Disney animated movie behind the sequels to "Moana" and "Frozen".

Next week is "Five Nights at Freddy's 2", "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" and "Jujitsu Kaisen: Execution". The week after is the remake of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and anime in "Scarlet". The 19th is "Avatar: Fire and Ash", "The Housemaid", a new "Spongebob" movie and "David" (faith based animated movie)

It really feels like we’re in the dual-season era now: summer for action, winter for family/fantasy. Over the past decade or so, studios finally realized the holiday window has built-in legs with long weekends, school breaks, repeat viewings. It’s basically free money if the movie hits.

That's a big debut for "Chuck E Cheese but evil", and some impressive numbers for "Jujutsu Kasen: Execution". "Eternity" seems to be a bit of a sleeper hit for A24.

Not much next week outside of the remake of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and Anime in "Scarlet". The week after will be bigger with "Avatar: Fire and Ash", "The Housemaid", a new "Spongebob" movie and a wider release for "Resurrection" (released by Criterion owner Janus Films). Christmas is "Song Sung Blue", a wide release for "Marty Supreme" and that shitty looking "Anaconda" movie with Paul Rudd and Jack Black.
 
I've heard Hamnet is getting buzz as an Oscar worthy movie so it wouldn't surprise me if that gets a larger theater push around the Holiday weekend.
 
Sounds like this weekend could be a bit of a lull (I've heard it could be down anywhere from 6-10% from last year) before the Avatar movie hits and the newest Spongebob movie comes out, both of which should help the end of year surpass last year but it's gonna be a tough hill to even reach 2023 numbers.

The current annual box office as of 12/13/25. Other years are full year for context. 2019 was also with average tickets being about $2.20 cheaper than today.

I don't think they'll be big hits, but I am interested in seeing how "Marty Supreme" and "Song Sung Blue" do. For the most part, it's gonna be a lull outside of "Avatar" and "Spongebob", though I'm just hoping "Anaconda" bombs.
 
Not surprised Ella McCay bombed hard. Rumor has it Disney only agreed to release the film so Jim Brooks would make another Simpsons movie. Which is kind of a lose-lose situation imo.
