WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD.  Updated look at 2016 by studio.

Studio YTD 2016 as of 2016 Jul 10

 

YEAR TO DATE BOX OFFICE. Looking at North American box office, 2016 to date is now basically even with last year and now +2% above the average for this point the past four years ($5.430 billion).  Over the same period, Hollywood films have grossed $14.1 billion worldwide when we add overseas box office (that’s now -3% below the comparable worldwide box office last year at this stage but still ahead of 2014 by +4%).

A reminder: we define the start of each year as the first Monday after New Year’s Day, and our year ends on the Sunday after New Year’s Day the following calendar year.  (The most recent week’s numbers are based on weekend estimates, which are usually at worst a couple of percentage points off from the final weekend tallies.)

The past six weeks in North America are down -4% from the same period last year (better than recent weeks: -7% pace last week and -12% pace two weeks ago) and now basically even with the four-year average for the similar six-week period ($1.593 billion).
