The Box Office

[Colossus1980]

Looks like Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse is going to take back the weekend crown after taking back top spot the last two days. Could be wrong tho. That's crazy and I wonder if it will overtake GOTG 3 for second place domestic.

Elemental is actually holding very well. The problem is that it's coming up from a such a low opening that it's going to have to have "record-making" holds from here on out.

People are predicting Indy 5 will perform like The Flash. I really can't see that happening, The Flash was in a pretty unique situation with a lot of stuff working against it. I understand that Indy 5's pre-sales aren't great but the time period it's opening is really, really going to help it.

Not to mention it's Indiana Jones, I suspect walk-ups will be strong. I have no idea how it will do internationally but I suspect it will do well enough in the US.

Indy will need Guardians of the Galaxy holding power for 2-3 months domestically. It's budget is so insane its crazy.

It's budget is crazy.

It seems to be a thing this year. Fast X- $340m, Indy 5- $300m, Mission Impossible -$290m, etc.

Deadline’s projection has Elemental neck and neck with Spider-Man for #1 with Flash dropping 75% and battling No Hard Feelings for third. Amazing. $55 million to $14 million potentially.

I am listening to people talking about elemental. Not people who have an agenda. They are loving it. I think the movie verse is looking at something different here.

Yeah, the people that actually saw it love it.

The problem is agenda reporting.

GoTG 3, The Little Mermaid and now Elemental all got A cinemascores and have been leggy domestically. One wouldn't know the way some folks talk about this stuff.

The Flash is performing like Green Lantern from 2011.

There isn't anyway to spin its performance, it's a total cluster...

Perhaps WB should have released Batgirl instead, it couldn't have performed worse than this relative to its budget.

US.

Yes, Elemental's budget is $200 million, so I suspect it will need to reach at least $450 million to make the film a profitable success.

Looks to me like Elemental would need to make at least 7 times it's opening weekend, plus a decent international performance to come even close to a break even.

Elemental has been in theaters for seven days and here are the box office grosses from box office mojo.

Grosses
DOMESTIC (74.7%)
$47,051,915
INTERNATIONAL (25.3%)
$15,925,506
WORLDWIDE
$62,977,421


That is a long shot to make the film profitable, if not a box office success, but at least to avoid being a complete box office bomb.

Elemental would need at least 90 days to reach its intended mark of $450 million .

Talking about movies led by aging icons for a moment, and because Nic Cage's Renfield bombed, I'm happy to see Russell Crowe's The Pope's Exorcist has made more than 4 times its budget just in theaters. Here's an example of the budget fairy and audiences reactions embracing each other in a theater. For being an "original" (there's been a million exorcism movies after all) horror movie, these numbers smell like roses compared to the latest Grudge remake also from Sony, which came out before the pandemic no less.

I don't see Indy doing well. I wonder why they chose to make another Indy film after the last one. The word of mouth is also dismall. Ford always looks so tired in all his new films since The Force Awakens, I want him to retire now.

The Flash's failure at the box office is a cautionary tale to industry enablers who put money first over bad behavior. It is a shame this how the DCU bows out.

Interesting, if cutting, take on The Flash and the DCEU from Comics Beat Heidi MacDonald.
