Fantastic Four fell 58.5% in its 2nd weekend, not 67%

Lilo & Stitch Hits $1 BILLION at Worldwide Box Office, Beating A Minecraft Movie #liloandstitch #boxoffice #worldwideboxoffice #disney

@HollywoodHandle That’s not even a milestone. Why are you wasting time with this X post?

And referencing the budget? Is this some form of shilling? Where you’re trying to create the perception of success for Until Dawn, when there’s nothing to crow about. It’s more disappointing than anything.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@FilmUpdates WRONG. Thunderbolts did NOT do $31.5M opening day. It did an est. $20M on Fri + $11.5M on Thu

Since Fri, May 2 is the official full release date, that means the opening day was $20M.

Although since it played nearly all day Thu, perhaps “opening day” should be reconsidered

@DiscussingFilm Why indulge these random anniversaries? … Spider-Man’s next NOTABLE anniversary is its 25th in 2027

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@ErickWeber So key that money appears to have been added to the Friday tally to maintain the optics of that $100M 5-day total.

Because it was down 45% on Monday, as I told y’all, not the 40% drop they projected.

Funny there are no updates in the trades since Sunday.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@CaptainAmerica This still hasn’t been corrected? #NeZha2 was the “#1 movie in the world” again, NOT #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld

Ne Zha 2 did ~$280M, per Comscore, versus ~$190M for Captain America.

Last I checked, we still count China as part of the world.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@BORReport Told y’all it would drop ~45% on Monday, not the 40% they projected… but where did that extra box office come from to maintain the $100M tally? 👀🤔

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@seanjs Thanks! Saw some funny business afoot in regards to #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld , so thought I’d try to get a signal boost here on X…

Still waiting on that signal boost, lol

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

Why isn’t this community noted?

#NeZha2 is still the #1 movie worldwide, according to Comscore. #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a distant 2nd.

Or is China considered so sus that we no longer count them as part of the box office world?

[Marvel Studios @MarvelStudios]

Also impacting audience scores was that post-credits scene.

It was insulting to fans or anyone who waited out that interminable scroll of credits.

If Marvel had a banger of a tease, audiences would have been more forgiving.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

If #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld wasn't sold as a Red Hulk movie, it likely wouldn’t have had the MCU’s lowest CinemaScore.

But, conversely, it needed the juice of “Cap Vs. Hulk” to get ~$100M in 5 days.

Long-term sentiment sacrificed at the altar of opening weekend headlines.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@MarvelStudios How is Captain America: Brave New World the “#1 movie in the world” when Ne Zha 2 was still the top-grossing movie worldwide?

Or is Marvel Studios now excluding China from the world?

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@DanielJGarris @BORReport Projecting only a 40% drop on Monday?

It’s not outlandish, but it’s quite optimistic… and, again, screams of grasping at the ~$100M narrative, instead of intending to be accurate.

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

Speed turns 30, and what does Disney do? What do they do?

Announce yet another Lion King re-release (for its 30th), instead of giving us what we need.

Do we have to wait until Speed hits 50 before the re-release kicks in?

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@ErikDavis @Fandango @Pixar Please be more specific.

By “advance tix sales” do you just mean $$$ or attendance?

“Highest” since Toy Story 4? So that means more or less than Toy Story 4?

How far ahead of Inside Out? And how does it compare to Lightyear & Elemental?

Please tell us the exact numbers

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@Outsold_no_one @EmpireCityBO @Deadpool @itsthewolverine Right. Audiences don’t care that Moana 2 was first meant for streaming. They will see it because of Moana 1, hoping for another fun & moving musical adventure.

Since Frozen 2 etc did a bit more $ than their predecessors, then is that the bar for success for Moana 2?

[Box Office Revival @BORevival]

@EmpireCityBO @Outsold_no_one @Deadpool @itsthewolverine So you agree then that “doing better” is not necessarily the bar for sequel success.

I did not forget Moana 2’s transition from streaming to cinema. If it suffers due to that, then that’s part of Disney’s folly: Moana 2 should have been theatrical from inception.
