D Disney
If you feel like a desert in the multiplex, get ready for the monsoon on Thursday night with Disney / Marvel Doctor Strange at Multiverse of Madness, which is expected to rain from $ 150 million to $ 200 million over the first weekend. Monitoring sees it at at least $ 150 million. It would not be shocking if the photo reached $ 200 million, but Disney does not want to go beyond its skis. Already, Doctor Strange 2 sees the best pre-sales of the year, higher than The Batman, with $ 42 million. This is the beginning of a very rich summer and after the lavish response of Top Gun: Maverick out of CinemaCon, Tom Cruise must prepare for the biggest global and domestic opening of his career, overcoming War of the Worlds ($ 64.8 M, his highest domestic) and The Mummy ($ 172.3 million, the biggest world debut of the 3x Oscar nominee). Therefore, this weekend we will see The Bad Guys of Universal / DreamWorks Animation again at No. 1 in Weekend 2, with $ 16.1 million, -33%, for a total of ten days at EOD $ 44.4 million. This is better than the $ 14 million Uni found yesterday. And all the other family tickets hold their top positions, e.g. Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 outperformed the fourth quarter by $ 11.35 million at 2nd -27%, for a current total of $ 160.9 million, and Warner Bros. ‘ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, valued at $ 8.3 million at Weekend 3 in 3rd place, -41%, with a total of $ 79.6 million from the EOD. A24 Continuing to prove that there is an appetite for an original ticket at the box office is the stunning hold of the A24 at the 6 Everything Everywhere All at Once weekend, which sees $ 5.5 million, a big 2%, for a total of $ 35.4 million. What is the extra juice here? In addition to increasing the number of 80 theaters, the Daniels-directed film returned to Imax at 256 knots in a special extended series, grossing $ 850,000. This AGBO production easily reaches $ 40 million +. Forget it, some say $ 50 million, which could mean it could overturn A24’s highest-grossing movie of all time, Uncut Gems ($ 50 million). «Memory» Briarcliff Entertainment Open Road is heading to the big studio, bringing their wide entry to Liam Neeson’s action film, Memory, directed by Martin Campbell, which debuted at $ 3.1 million in 2,555 theaters. While I’m sure the reporter is grateful for the new product, what’s upset here is that in an improved market, the functionality is similar to what other Neeson Open Road photos did when New York and Los Angeles closed at the duration of Covid, e.g. The Marksman ($ 3.1 million) and Honest Thief ($ 4.1 million). Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago’s top five Memory’s $ 1.1 million markets on Friday, with Ficon’s highest grossing movie of the day being the iPic Theater Market in Manhattan. Well, it all has to do with home kits and dudes for these Neeson cookie cutter action titles. Critics have satiated Neeson-with-a-gun photos at 29% Rotten, and those who decided to show up and sit in the dark and eat popcorn for almost two hours gave 66% and 49% to Comscore / Screen’s PostTrak Engine. Jeez. The turnout was 51% men, 84% over 25 years old and 46% over 45. Differences were 49% Caucasians, 20% Hispanics and Latins, 20% Blacks and 11% Asians / others. Most of the money in this photo comes from the West and South East. RelishMix says that social media awareness about Memory “exists very well under the rules of the genre for action thrillers at 18.6 million on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.” Ahead of the opening, the social media analyst said: “The conversation is mixed, with crystal clear expectations – in any Neeson film with the assumption that someone will be kidnapped and that ‘we will bring him back’. The story and filmmaking clues are random for these super fans, who also believe that Neeson would make a perfect Batman with his voice, as well as other conversations about his stock of burning phones. Super fans also consider Neeson and Denzel Washington “unanimously the best action stars of the last year.” Fans reveal the secret algorithm behind this movie. Taken + Unknown = Memory… and, Memento ÷ Unknown = Memory. ” Focus Features’s Viking epic The Northman sees a second weekend that is -49%, with $ 6.3 million for a ten-day $ 22.8 million. Lionsgate Lionsgate’s Nic Cage’s satire, Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is looking for $ 3.9 million at Weekend 2, -45%, a 10-day $ 13.5 million for what appears to be a final gross home $ 20 million when everything has been said and done. Some thoughts come out of this at CinemaCon: Despite the film’s shocking opening after its live world premiere on SXSW, rival distributors who have handled a similar product believe that this film has overestimated home entertainment, which is Cage’s bread and butter. . Although Cage is undoubtedly on the rise in his career, posting with his critically acclaimed pig has been funk at the box office for quite some time. His last live-action tent was National Treasure: Book of Secrets in 2007 ($ 220 million domestically, $ 459 million WW). Hence the limited scope for this great, critically acclaimed (87% certified fresh) comedy, which excites the audience who eventually accepts it. If Neeson made a self-parody comedy, we would expect similar results. However, congratulations to Lionsgate for bringing this film to the theater and not abandoning it to PVOD or streaming. Why is that? Chances are that the story will be on the side of Unbearable Weight and that it will turn into a cult classic with the same breath as This Is Spinal Tap ($ 4.7 million domestically by 1984) and The Big Lebowski ($ 18.2 million in 1998). If this photo was circulating directly in the house, it would not have this impact. It is also trying to fill the gap at the weekend, the action drama in Telugu Acharya, which is now poised to win about $ 1 million in 396 theaters in 117 markets, from $ 832,000 on Friday and $ 100,000 on Saturday. The photo saw some large numbers in New York, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Charlotte and Baltimore. The screenplay and direction of Koratala Siva revolves around a Naxalite who became a social reformer, who starts a fight against the Endowment Department for misuse of funds and temple donations. 1.)
