Weekend projections: Venom has decent second weekend as Here struggles on debut

November 3, 2024

Venom: The Last Dance is enjoying a good hold from its opening, and will easily retain top spot at the box office this weekend, according to Sony’s Sunday-morning projection. The studio’s new release, Here, is headed for a very disappointing debut, at something around $5 million. More...

Weekend predictions: Venom set to hold off Here as election distraction peaks

November 1, 2024

This weekend sees another bevy of wide releases come to theaters, but only one that has its sights set on the top three. That film is Here, a cinematic reunion for Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Robin Wright. Unfortunately, things aren’t looking that great for Here, with a spot in the top three not assured and Venom: The Last Dance not going to be troubled in its second weekend in theaters, even with a sharp decline.

Theater counts: Venom will remain on top heading into its second weekend

October 31, 2024

It was a slightly lower beginning for Venom: The Last Dance in its opening weekend at the domestic box office, but the film nevertheless bit off $51 million making it the number one film in the land, and by a large margin. The last installment in the Venom franchise now holds a six-day North American total of just over $61 million, and has propelled the franchise past $1.5 billion in global earnings. Venom: The Last Dance remains on top in theater counts in its second weekend, playing in 4,131 venues, despite the handful of newcomers entering cinemas. More...

The Numbers 2024 market forecast stands at $8.4 billion heading into the end of the year

October 28, 2024

Disappointing numbers for Joker: Folie à Deux and Transformers One put a big dent in our prediction for 2024 this month, with the two films between them coming in $270 million below our pre-release predictions. While that accounts for a big chunk of the $400-million decrease in our prediction for 2024 as a whole, it’s not the whole story.

Weekend projections: Venom debuts with disappointing $51-million weekend

October 27, 2024

On Friday, our prediction model said Venom: The Last Dance would earn $54 million this weekend. I thought the model was overly pessimistic, and that the super-hero movie will land somewhere in the 60s. Well, I was wrong and the model was right. With just $51 million projected this morning by Sony Pictures, this is another miss for the super hero genre. More...

Weekend predictions: Venom looking at opening in the 60s

October 25, 2024

Two very different films, super hero actioner Venom: The Last Dance and dramatic mystery Conclave, open in wide release this weekend. The former is looking to cash in on Halloween and stay in theaters long enough to benefit from increased audience sizes going into holiday season. The latter will hope to establish itself as an Oscar front runner with a strong theatrical run and good word of mouth. More...

Theater counts: Venom strikes in 4,131 theaters

October 24, 2024

Although The Wild Robot began last weekend as the widest release, newcomer Smile 2 took the top spot at the weekend box office, compiling just over $23 million, and surpassing the former by $13 million in its first three days. Unfortunately for the sequel, it will fall short of a repeat, as Venom: The Last Dance waltzes into cinemas this weekend. More...

Weekend projections: Smile 2 lands solid $23-million opening

October 20, 2024

Smile 2 is headed towards a very respectable $23-million opening weekend, according to Paramount’s Sunday-morning projection. A24’s romantic drama We Live in Time is also performing well on its wide expansion. More...

Weekend predictions: Smile looks to seize crown from Terrifier

October 18, 2024

Halloween season ramps up again in theaters this weekend, with Smile 2 looking to keep the horror genre firmly in control at the box office. It should do so relatively easily, even though Terrifier 3 has been enjoying a great run so far. The $2.5 million in previews on Thursday for Smile 2 isn’t spectacular, but sets the film up for $20 million or so on opening weekend. More...

Theater counts: The Wild Robot becomes widest release in its fourth weekend

October 17, 2024

It is rare that a film becomes the widest release in the land entering its fourth weekend on the big screen, but that is right where The Wild Robot has found itself, only losing 25 locations this time around. Opening on September 27th, the movie was edged out by another robot feature, as Transformers One eclipsed the newcomer by eight cinemas in its second weekend at the box office. This weekend The Wild Robot holds the top spot, playing in over 200 more theaters than the second-widest release, as Smile 2 lands in 3,619 locations. More...
