Behind The US/Worldwide Weekend Box Office – 7.7.2024
OPENINGS: DESPICABLE ME 4 (Illumination/Universal) arrived at the high end of expectations with a $75M 3-day weekend and $122.6M since its July 3 opening. That was a tad below 2013’s Despicable Me 2, which also opened on a Wednesday July 3 with $83.5M/$143.1M. Despicable 4 should pass $300M in the US, which would put […]

OPENINGS: A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE (Paramount) handily exceeded expectations with $53M in the US, better than its predecessors ($50.2M and $47.5M respectively, although Part II earned $57.1M over its 4-day holiday launch). It was particularly impressive because Day One featured a different cast and creative team for the most part, suggesting that A […]

OPENINGS: Hollywood breathed a collective sign of relief as BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE (Columbia/Sony) arrived moderately above expectations with $56M. That was down just 10% from 2019’s Bad Boys For Life (although that film opened on a holiday weekend, totaling $73M in 4 days). Ride or Die faces no direct competition for weeks, […]

OPENINGS: The major studios abandoned this normally prime summer-season weekend, and a flood of indies rushed in to grab the available theaters. None were able to capitalize to a particularly notable extent, with the anime HAIKYUU: THE DUMPSTER BATTLE (Crunchyroll/Sony) faring best at $3.5M. The genre is typically very frontloaded, so Haikyuu may not […]
