I will have to look how these International numbers come in during the next week. Im really surprised how good it is doing overseas. Its blowing by some really big comic book movies some that even had releases in China and Russia and made big money there. I mean its going to pass Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and that thing made 90 million in China and almost 30 million in Russia.
MoM is still cleaning up overseas.
If it misses a billion it won't be by much.
That is because both fans and nonfans of Marvel movies have unrealistic expectations. A lot of people seem to think that any Marvel movie that doesn't hit a billion these days is a sign of Marvel fatigue.
The fact remains that of the 28 Marvel movies 10 of them have made over a billion most of them were Avengers movies, MOM at 803.2M place it at number 14 on Marvel's highest WW box-office gross if it makes 900M it will be ranked at number 11. Without China, Russia and a few Middle Eastern countries these numbers are very good.
It's amazing that Lost City and Everything Everywhere are chugging along and making good money. Front loaded blockbusters aren't the only way to do it!
Everything Everywhere is my favorite box office story of 2022 so far. I loved the movie and it’s had a great run. When it was around $20-million, Deadline said it would top out at $30-million. Blown past that and you’re right, chugging along is a good phrase for its performance.
^ I read that they covered the entire cost of Everything Everywhere with foreign distribution sales. So the movie started making a profit from the beginning!
