Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Blows ‘Battleship’ Out of the Water

Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Blows ‘Battleship’ Out of the Water

Nothing too surprising went on at the box office this weekend. For the third consecutive weekend, ‘The Avengers’ dominated. Not only has the film added another $55 million to its domestic run, it nabbed the worldwide all-time #4 spot with $1.18 billion and the domestic #6 spot with $457 million (which will be bumped up to #4 by next weekend as it passes both the original 1977 ‘Star Wars’ and ‘The Phantom Menace’). The geek shall indeed inherit the Earth.

Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide

Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide

Unsurprisingly, Tim Burton’s latest joint venture with Johnny Depp was shadowed by the continued record-breaking success of ‘The Avengers’. Earning another $103 million domestically, Marvel’s superhero epic crossed the worldwide $1 billion mark this weekend. That second-weekend total crushed the previous second-weekend record held by the $75.6 million of ‘Avatar‘. Box Office Mojo also notes that ‘The Avengers’ broke other records, including fastest movie to $300 million and $350 million, and the highest eight-day, nine-day and ten-day grosses.

Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Crush Opening Weekend Record

Weekend Box Office: ‘Avengers’ Crush Opening Weekend Record

There was no doubt that Marvel’s superhero team-up movie would open very strong, but I don’t think that anyone predicted it to shatter the previous $169 million opening weekend record set by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2‘ by more than $30 million. Sure, the movie has been performing very well overseas for the last two weeks, but a $200 million opening still seemed unimaginable.

Weekend Box Office: International Audiences “Assemble,” Domestic Fall Flat

Weekend Box Office: International Audiences “Assemble,” Domestic Fall Flat

What a sad weekend for the domestic box office. The domestic reports are embarrassing compared to the international reports, which praise the overseas opening success of ‘The Avengers’. In only 39 markets (which don’t even include major players China, Russia or Japan), ‘The Avengers’ brought in an amazing $178.4 million, sinking ‘Battleship’ in all markets where the two went head-to-head. What happened stateside? Not much. The movie predicted to finish in the #1 spot with $22.5 million actually finished in fifth with only $11.1 million.

Weekend Box Office: Four in a Row!

Weekend Box Office: Four in a Row!

Once again, ‘The Hunger Games’ walked away with the weekend box office crown. The film has finished in first place for four consecutive weekends. The last movie to perform this well was 2010′s ‘Avatar‘. Down only 35% from last weekend, ‘The Hunger Games’ made another $21.5 million, which brings its domestic gross to $337 million. Analysts predict that it just might finish its theatrical run around the $400 million mark.

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hunger Games’ Passes $300 Million in 17 Days

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hunger Games’ Passes $300 Million in 17 Days

No surprise, folks, ‘The Hunger Games’ is still killing it. In fact, that was the only movie in the Top 3 this weekend to actually defy box office expectations. While predicted to close the weekend in second place with a 51% decline at $28.9 million, ‘The Hunger Games’ fell only 42.8% and drew another $33.5 million. That pushes it over the $300 million mark in its third weekend. Here’s hoping that Lionsgate hires a director for the second film who can match the quality of the first.

Weekend Box Office: Audiences ‘Hunger’ for More

Weekend Box Office: Audiences ‘Hunger’ for More

Was there any doubt that ‘The Hunger Games’ would follow up its $155 million opening weekend in any spot other than first again? Of course not, but the drop-off was not as friendly as the studio hoped it would be. Lionsgate predicted a 53% drop that would have given the film a $71.7 million second weekend. Actually, it fell 59.9% to only bring in another $61.1 million. After just ten days on the big screen, this $78-million movie has already brought in $251 million. Strong work, Lionsgate!

Weekend Box Office: ‘Hunger Games’ Filmmakers Will Never Starve Again

With only one major opener this weekend, there was no doubt as to which film would walk away in the #1 spot. Even so, I don’t think anyone expected it to pull in the numbers that it did. Continue Reading

Weekend Box Office: Final Numbers Make Sony ‘Jump’

With only one nationwide release opening against a two-week-old animated flick, it was no question as to which would walk away the winner. Yet despite the better-than-expected win, the box office totals for this weekend were lower overall than this time last year.
