Jay 37,249 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 @JoeinAR used to make one of these every year, any interesting in discussion box office results this year Joe? A Quiet Place Part II and Cruella Reignite the Box Office Weekend: May 28-30 A Quiet Place Part II $47.4M Cruella $21.3M Spiral $2.2M Wrath of Man $2.1M Raya and the Last Dragon $2.1M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Those figures seem so sad but since we are just coming out of pandemic mode it is an excellent figure. With a always adapting film release schedule its hard to predict the boxoffice. Polls show prospective audiences wanted to see a Quiet Place II in the theatre while the same poll showed audiences prefer to see Cruella at home. The poll shows more or less that audiences will return for event movies like Black Widow and Top Gun. I plan to start going at least every other week this summer.

Jay 37,249 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I think Black Widow will be the first $100 Milion + opening weekend since Rise of Skywalker in December 2019 Actually no, F9 opens first, nevermind. That'll be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eighth opened with $96m, I believe. And considering not only the pandemic but also that the hype for this movie isn't really great (it had a poor reception with audiences on China), I don't think this will open to $100m. But I'd love to be proven wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd love to be proven wrong though. I won't use Chinese audiences as a bench mark. Remember two years ago they had a movie about earth blasted in space. It was garbage yet it made nearly 900mil. Plus China is experiencing another covid wave. i think we will see progressively improving numbers the deeper we get in the year. It may take till 2022 before the boxoffice returns to "Normal". I suspect a post pandemic world will welcome Spiderman and Jake Sully over the next two Christmas is extraordinary fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The first to top the $100m will be the Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard! I'm gonna watch it enough to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Jay you got me to look up Box office mojo for the first time in over a year.

badbu 123 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I find it very sad that a film which is 90% cgi is now the best film of the last year...and has even surpassed titanic where almost the entire ship was recreated and there was so much attention to detail...very sad that only marvel films seem to be so well received.

Edmilson 7,367 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Don't worry, Titanic is still ahead of Spider-Man if you adjust the box office for inflation.
