Baby Driver (2. 01. Financial Information. August 3. 1st, 2.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets earned first place on the international chart with $3. The film earned first place in China with $2. The film has yet to open in South Korea and Italy so it will likely top its production budget worldwide; that’s nowhere near enough to break even, but if it can get to $2. The film pulled in $3. That’s the bad news. The depth this past weekend was terrible, as there were only two films with more than $1. The overall box office fell 4.

Read what all the top critics had to say about Baby Driver at Metacritic.com. Wright had the kernel of the idea for Baby Driver more than two decades ago while editing his debut movie, 1995’s micro-budgeted comedy.

Worse still, this is 3. Year- to- date, 2. The year has lost over $5. This is a disaster.

However, had the action flick not topped the family film, it would have been a disaster. Compared to other recent action films, Atomic Blonde underperformed Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets ($1. Baby Driver ($2. 1 million), but at least it topped King Arthur: Legend of the Sword ($1. This summer, the average action film has opened with just over 1.

Atomic Blonde, as it puts the film’s opening weekend at $1. Its reviews are good, but not great enough to really change this trend. Even $2. 0 million would be a boon after this start. War for the Planet of the Apes earned first place with a slightly better than predicted result of $5. Overall, the box office plummeted 2. This was also a little lower than the same weekend last year.

The emphasis is on “little”, as it only dropped by 0. On its own, this would be nothing to worry about.

However, 2. 01. 7’s lead over 2. We’ve lost about $2. I don’t see that turning around any time soon. To match predictions, the film needed to make between $1.

Furthermore, this is better than its previews were, so this suggests good word- of- mouth and longer than average legs. Its reviews are 9. A from Cinema. Score, so long legs wouldn’t be a shock. Perhaps it can reach $6. Anything less than $5. Splitting the difference gets us a weekend target of $5. This much is a near certainty.

However, there is some doubt if it will open in first place, or if Spider- Man: Homecoming will remain the top draw over the weekend. The only other wide release of the week is Wish Upon, a low- budget horror film, if it can just reach the top five, then the studio will be very happy. Finally, The Big Sick is expanding wide. Given its limited release run so far, it should become a sleeper hit over the summer. This weekend last year, The Secret Life of Pets and Ghostbusters had a one- two punch of nearly $1.

I think War for the Planet of the Apes and Spider- Man: Homecoming will top that figure, while the overall depth should help 2. Every film in the top five was close to our predictions, while the top two films were a little stronger. This includes Spider- Man: Homecoming, which pulled in $1.

Overall, the box office rose by 2. Unfortunately, this is still 5. Before the summer began, 2. That lead is now down to just $1. This lead could be completely gone by the weekend.

It’s the second- best debut for the Spider- Man franchise, if you ignore the effects of inflation, and makes it almost certain that the franchise will break its unfortunate streak of earning less at the domestic box office with every new outing. With, reportedly, a more constrained budget—this is the least expensive Spider- Man film, adjusted for inflation—profitability looks assured, and Sony’s partnership with Disney looks as though it’s paying off. Its opening day vs. Spider- Man: Homecoming did earn better reviews, while both movies earned a solid A from Cinema.

Score, and many more kids have no school on Monday compared to when Guardians debuted. All of this should help its legs.

On the other hand, Homecoming could have a bigger Fanboy Effect, as Spider- Man is a much more established character. Because of that, I’m going to be a little more cautious and predict a $1. Sci Fi Thriller Movies The Angry Birds Movie (2016) here.

This is still simply fantastic and the only downside is Sony and Disney have to work together to make this work in the long term. This is Sony’s second best domestic opening of all time.

Sony has a lot of reasons to work with Disney to keep Spider- Man in the MCU. In fact, it should have the biggest opening since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. The competition will put a dent in Despicable Me 3’s box office during the weekend, but even so, it will likely break even sometime over the weekend.

This weekend last year had The Secret Life of Pets at the top with just over $1. Spider- Man: Homecoming should top The Secret Life of Pets, but the depth this year won’t be as good. If 2. 01. 7 does lose the year- over- year competition, then its lead over 2. Most of the new releases / top five had weaker openings / sharper declines. Despicable Me 3 still led the way, but with a more subdued $7. Baby Driver is hoping to earn that much in total after a $2.

This is almost as much as it cost to make. The House, on the other hand, was DOA with just $8. On the positive side, Monday and Tuesday were much stronger than usual, so rather than looking at the weekend box office and saying it is weaker than anticipated, we could instead say the weekend box office was stretched out over five days. Overall, the box office grew 2.

This is down 1. 1% from the same weekend last year, but again, one could argue this is due to a misalignment in the Independence Day holiday. Year- to- date, 2. Some are releasing final numbers, some have updated Sunday’s estimates, while others are just waiting until Wednesday for final results. Despicable Me 3 is in the middle category, as Universal revised its estimate downwards to $7.

This is still a great opening, but it is also a troubling trajectory, as it has fallen a lot from Friday’s Estimates, when it looked like it was going to hit $8. Granted, this is still the sixth- biggest opening of the year, so Universal has reason to celebrate, but its internal multiplier suggests short legs for a family film. I think this is a case of franchise fatigue, as its reviews were good, even if they were not as good as the previous Despicable Me films.

Despicable Me 3 starts off festivities this weekend with a solid- but- unspectacular $7. Breaking The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s record for widest opening weekend of all time is no small feat for Universal, but it’s an ominous sign for the franchise that the only film to open in close to this number of theaters and pull in similar numbers at the box office was Shrek Forever After, which opened with $7.

That was the last Shrek movie, and this might be a good time for Gru to call it a day. This is the best single day for an animated film this year. To emphasize, this isn’t just the best opening day, but the best single day, and it should top that on Saturday. The previous record was $2. The Lego Batman Movie. This film’s reviews are not as good as The Lego Batman Movie’s reviews are (they both earned A minuses from Cinema.

Score) so it won’t have the same legs. That said, an $8. Despicable Me 2. It is the best previews for an animated film this year, topping the $2. Cars 3 earned earlier this month.

However, it is weaker than the $4. Despicable Me 2 earned and that film was a Wednesday release, so that would have depressed its previews even more, which makes this comparison even worse for Despicable Me 3. The Secret Life of Pets opened on a Friday and earned $5.

If we use that film as a gauge, then Despicable Me 3 will earn $8. Despicable Me 3 has earned weaker reviews than those The Secret Life of Petsearned, while it is also a sequel, which tends to hurt legs. We predicted $8. 2 million, but that might be a little optimistic now. It should come close, on the other hand. In fact, we haven’t had a monster hit since Wonder Woman started the month off with a bang. The House is an R- rated comedy, but since the last such film to come out bombed, I’m a little worried about its chances. Baby Driver opened on Wednesday and its early numbers are promising.

It won’t be a $1. Sony. This weekend last year, there were no monster hits at the box office, but there was solid depth.
