Wkd Box Office - 8•23-25•19 - Angel Falls But Butler Overcomes All To Be #1, Hobbs and Shaw Drop Like A Rock

I mean according to the internet interest in Star Wars is non existent, so that'll probably struggle to 300 million...
Estimate gods shine light upon me.
This is a good turn out for a spin-off, even with it's $200m budge (excluding marketing)
If Hobbs and Shaw is indeed on track for $800 million it fees like the doom and gloom in this thread in recent weeks (including today's thread) is perhaps a bit excessive.
It's an unusual project for Fox Searchlight since they rarely do out-and-out genre pictures to begin with, but yeah, the smaller budget should help it squeak by with a little bit of money.
I do not know how the rest of their 2019 is slate is going to fare in terms of box office, but hopefully the trio of Lucy in the Sky, Jojo Rabbit and A Hidden Life (they're only distributing that one, but they paid a pretty penny for those rights) get the awards movement they need to help keep Searchlight in theaters.
Oh for sure. $800m is impressive considering it doesn't have the majority of the main cast. This is The Rocks 2nd biggest movie behind Jumanji.
There was like zero marketing for Ready or Not. I hope it stays in my local theater at least until I get back from my trip next week.
The hell is Overcomer?

Hopefully that means we'll see more horror movies from Fox Searchlight.
You still need a good amount of people to go see the movie to actually spread WoM. The reviews and WoM are there, but it's a small picture and didn't get the same kind of media blasting that films like Blumhouse puts out. I didn't see a trailer for it till a month ago
So I see that the answer was "Not", RIP Searchlight 😢
Brittany Runs a Marathon opened decently but I don't think it's gonna do that much in the end.
OUATIH overtaking Inglourious was not something I expected, and it's doing good internationall as well (via Deadline)
Other than that, fairly dull weekend.

Who knows? But I would like a Fly remake and 28 Days Later reboot or sequel. I have given up on Aliens at this time, and the Underwater movie trailer looks like garbage.
This is why I make the charts:
7.86 billion so far, Over 8 billion if you count the FOX films to their total.
OP
OP
Hobbs And Shaw's domestic gross was expected. F8 dropped off massively from F7 and there was no way this wouldn't have a similarly big drop-off. The series just doesn't have any real teeth in the US of A unless an actor dies and there's a top charting song.
Could make for a good Amazon series. Who has the rights currently?
Unless something cataclysmic happens that make people stop going to the movies, I can't see that happening. Frozen 2 and SW9 should get Disney to 10b by themselves, and they could fly past that if Maleficent 2 is decent and gets good WOM.
You couldn't live with your own failure
So where did it bring you?
back to Gritty
Famed flop star Gerard Butler has his own trilogy of shite action films to be John Wick's worthless stepbrother.
I vaguely remember seeing a trailer for Overcomer over a year ago. It didn't have a release date, just a website where churches could reserve showtimes in advance.
I feel Disney will hit $10b with Maleficent 2/Frozen 2. With Starwars it'll go past $11b, wether that's before or after the new year remains to be seen.
I honestly doubt we'll ever see a historical epic with this level of production quality and artistry again.
Who knows, probably nobody, I assume they have expired by now.
Lifesaver lol :3This is why I make the charts:
7.86 billion so far, Over 8 billion if you count the FOX films to their total.
Gonna be the 9th movie to make over $1b foreign gross.
Funny enough, there is another film with that distinction that is not even in top 10 worldwide. Fate of Furious
Crazy to think about.
Looking at the list and it's at #18 WW and no other movie until 10 slots up has made $1b Internationally.. wild.
The movie got me into the books and they became one of my favorites. I would kill for a sequel to that movie. Also, why I'm blocked by Crowe on Twitter!? I've never even interacted with him.
What did you do lol
That's odd
I've never seen the movie and now I'm going to.
Thread title got me confused since Hobbs and Saw is estimated to make $700-$800 million worldwide (the kinds of numbers the Hollywood Reporter said it needed to be a success) at its current trajectory, only 3rd to Fast 7 and 8 if it reaches the later. This week's drop from last isn't even a hard drop.
It's easy to forget that Fast is more massive internationally than domestically, Fast 8 despite making over a billion didn't actually gross it's production budget domestically.

insane success or surprising failure, Vin still wins because if it underperforms ha can blame H&S for poisoning the well, and if it's a huge $1-2b ww success, he can laugh @ H&S for trying. lol
Solo wasn't a fluke would be the likely scenario
And Maleficient 2 underperforming
I'm always disappointed to see these things chart. I remember British reviewer Mark Kermode reviewing Breakthrough and just sounding incredulous about how flagrantly pious the film was in its portrayal of incredulous doctors who spoke in awe of such a miracle that could only be an act of god and how such a tone was specifically American.
Like, sure, Christian movies. But do they have to be so aggressive toward non-Christians. No one can enjoy these movies except a specific subsect of the already faithful but I guess that's enough to be profitable so there's no incentive to not be that on the nose.
There are no scenario where Frozen 2 + Star Wars isn't making a combined of at least $2 billion.
Everything that needed to happen for the $10 billion goal already happened. At this point it's guaranteed.
I had no idea a new ______ Has Fallen movie had even been announced, let alone released.
Frozen 2 and Skywalker would need to be delayed to next year or WW3 begins and movie theaters close down.
