With the only two movies that have opened so far in the ShowBuzzDaily Summer Movie Draft, Team Metcalf has expanded the early lead to $402.8 million. Dark Shadows (the #17 pick overall) opened this past weekend with an okay $29.7 million, but no one expects the Tim Burton film to have much impact long term. However, Marvel’s The […]
Now 19 full weeks into 2012, year-to-date domestic box office is now running 21% ahead of last year’s pace and now 17% ahead of the comparable period’s average for the last several years. Marvel’s The Avengers turned in $103.052 million in its second weekend, a mere 0.1% below what Disney estimated Sunday morning and only $1 million away from the ShowBuzzDaily […]
Marvel’s The Avengers continues to tear up the record books. The studio is projecting the second weekend will come in at $103.2 million (now almost exactly hitting the $104 million in our ShowBuzzDaily Weekend Predictions) and leaving the old second-weekend record in the dust ($75.6 million for Avatar in December 2009). Avengers now also holds the record […]
Marvel’s The Avengers (distributed by Disney) has jumped again to $629 million to date overseas (up from $441.5 million last week). United Kingdom continue to lead the way overseas ($48.2 million so far now — up from $25.7 million this time last week). Mexico moved up to the second-biggest territory ($40.7 million to date — up from […]
THE AVENGERS: Simply spectacular. The 50% drop in Weekend 2 ripped past the $75M record to an amazing $103M. The level of the weekly decline isn’t unprecedented (Avatar dropped an insane 2%, Shrek 2 33%, the original Spider-Man 38%, Alice In Wonderland and Toy Story 3 46% each), but it’s better than […]
THE AVENGERS (Disney) just won’t slow down. If preliminary numbers at Deadline hold, Avengers made $44.5M on Saturday, up 50% from the prior day and down only 36% from the Saturday of its opening weekend, an extraordinarily good result. (In comparison, on The Hunger Games‘s 2d weekend, its Saturday was up only 33% from […]
The 19th weekend of 2012 is looking like a solid $155 million for the Top 12 films, up 20% from both this weekend last year and the four-year average for the same weekend. Marvel’s The Avengers will definitely smash the second weekend record — the only question is by how much. Dark Shadows opened below […]
The movie that set the all-time highest opening weekend record last week? It’s gonna win this weekend, too. THE AVENGERS: Disney‘s estimate of a $100M weekend may be aggressive (although with Mother’s Day in the mix, maybe not), but it hardly matters, since Avengers will barrel past the $75M current 2d weekend record with […]
