Disney animated film misses Thanksgiving record but tops US box office

Monday, November 28th, 2016

Disney’s South Pacific animated tale Moana fell short of a Frozen-sized debut but nevertheless dominated the Thanksgiving box office with an estimated $81.1m over the five-day weekend. The well-reviewed film, about a princess’s mythical journey in ancient Polynesia, earned $55.5m from Friday to Sunday in North America, according to studio estimates. Though it didn’t match the 2013 Thanksgiving release of Frozen ($93.6m over five days in 2013), Moana scored the second-highest Turkey Day debut ever.

Falling to second was JK Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which earned $65.8m over the five-day weekend and $45.1m over the three-day weekend. The Harry Potter spinoff, from Warner Bros, has brought in $156.2m in two weeks. Overseas, Fantastic Beasts debuted in China, where its $41.1m fueled a weekend haul of $132m internationally.

Those two blockbusters far outpaced more star-driven films. The Brad Pitt-Marion Cotillard second world war romance Allied opened with a mediocre $18m over five days. The Paramount Pictures release, directed by Robert Zemeckis, cost a hefty $85m to make.

Warren Beatty’s first film in 15 years, the 1950s Hollywood comedy Rules Don’t Apply, bombed with $2.2m over the five-day weekend.

Bad Santa 2, from Broad Green and Miramax, didn’t flop as badly but it pulled in a scant $9m over five days. The sequel, again starring Billy Bob Thornton, comes 13 years after the original.

In limited release, a number of potential awards contenders packed theaters. Debuting on a handful of screens were Lion ($32,092 per-screen average), with Dev Patel, and Miss Sloane ($21,000 per-screen average), with Jessica Chastain. Expanding from four to 48 screens was Manchester by the Sea, starring Casey Affleck. It took in $1.3m with a per-screen average of $26,048.

The holiday weekend was the sixth biggest Thanksgiving at the box office, according to comScore, falling slightly behind most recent years. But the fairly strong business, led by well-reviewed tent-pole releases, continued what’s been a healthy fall season, up 4.5% from last year.

Check out the Nov. 25-27 weekend box office estimates below:

1. Moana – $55.5 million ($81.1 million five-day)
2. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – $45.1 million ($65.8 million five-day)
3. Doctor Strange – $13.4 million ($18.9 million five-day)
4. Allied – $13 million ($18 million five-day)
5. Arrival – $11.3 million ($15.6 million five-day)
6. Trolls – $10.3 million ($14.3 million five-day)
7. Almost Christmas – $7.6 million ($9.5 million five-day)
8. Bad Santa 2 – $6.1 million ($9 million five-day)
9. Hacksaw Ridge – $5.5 million ($7.7 million five-day)

‘Fantastic Beasts’ No. 1 With $75M, Makes Rivals Disappear

Monday, November 21st, 2016

Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling can still cast a magic spell at the box office — although not as powerful sans the Boy Who Lived, at least in North America.

Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter spinoff and prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, from a script by Rowling, topped the weekend domestic box office with $75 million from 4,144 theaters, behind the openings of all eight Harry Potter movies but in line with other high-profile spinoffs, such as the Hobbit trilogy.

Disney and Marvel’s Doctor Strange continued to wow as it crossed the $570 million mark globally, and will soon overtake fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe title Iron Man ($585 million) after already topping several other MCU installments.

However, the post-presidential election bump the box office enjoyed last weekend didn’t last, as holdovers saw their usual drops. Doctor Strange, for example, fell 59 percent domestically to $17.7 million to place No. 2. Overseas, the pic took in another sturdy $26 million for a foreign total of $390 million and a global haul of $571.5 million. That includes $103 million in China, where Doctor Strange has exceeded the lifetime totals of superhero titles including Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

In North America, Fox and DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls followed with $17.5 million to pass the $100 million mark domestically and finish Sunday with a $116.2 million cume in North America and $261.3 million worldwide. Paramount release Arrival placed No. 4 with $11.8 million for a domestic total of $43.4 million. And Universal’s Almost Christmas rounded out the top five with $7 million for a domestic tally of $25.4 million.

Doctor Strange holds firm at US box office

Monday, November 14th, 2016

Marvel’s Doctor Strange led the North American box office for the second week with $43m, according to studio estimates. That was an especially strong hold for the Benedict Cumberbatch-led superhero blockbuster, which is now nearing $500m globally.

Trolls, a musical animated release from 20th Century Fox with Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, also held well in its second week with $35.1m, bringing its cumulative domestic total to $94m.

Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction thriller Arrival, starring Amy Adams, scored the weekend’s top debut with a better-than-expected $24m for Paramount Pictures. Opening in fourth was Universal Pictures’ Almost Christmas, the first holiday-themed release to hit theaters. The family-gathering comedy, starring Danny Glover and Gabrielle Union, debuted with $15.6m.

The weekend box office was up about 47% from last year, according to comScore. The Friday holiday, Veteran’s Day, also helped stoke business. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, said the wide variety of releases gave moviegoers plenty of choice for escapism over the post-election weekend.

The good showing for Arrival, which cost $47m to produce, was a welcome relief for Paramount. The studio has endured a string of disappointments, including Ben-Hur and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, with a relatively thin slate of releases.

Paramount paid $20m for the film’s domestic distribution rights. The film, in which a linguist is tasked by the government to communicate with newly arrived aliens, has drawn good reviews.

Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk also made its much awaited debut, albeit on just two screens. The Sony Pictures release, which opens nationwide next week, grossed $120,300 from two theaters (one in New York, one in Los Angeles).

The two locations are the only places in North America the film is screening in Lee’s innovative 120 frames-per-second version (five times the normal rate), in addition to being in 3D and at 4k resolution.

Check out the Nov. 11-13 weekend box office estimates below:

1. Doctor Strange – $43 million
2. Trolls – $35 million
3. Arrival – $24 million
4. Almost Christmas – $15.6 million
5. Hacksaw Ridge – $10.8 million
6. The Accountant – $4.6 million
7. Shut In – $3.7 million
8. Boo! A Madea Halloween – $3.6 million
9. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back – $3.3 million
10. Inferno – $3.3 million

Marvel’s Doctor Strange cures struggling US box office

Tuesday, November 8th, 2016

A strong batch of new films drew audiences to US theaters in large numbers this weekend, including Marvel’s Doctor Strange, the animated Trolls and Mel Gibson’s second world war drama Hacksaw Ridge, waking up a sleepy fall box office. The top three films all received largely positive reviews from critics.

As the superhero in the bunch, Doctor Strange easily dominated with $85m in North American theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a neurosurgeon turned sorcerer, Doctor Strange opened internationally last weekend. It has already grossed $325.4m globally.

It’s the 14th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 14th to open at No 1. As one of the lesser-known properties, it far surpassed Ant-Man’s $57.2m launch, but fell a little short of Guardians of the Galaxy’s $94.3m debut.

Much of the Doctor Strange business came from premium large format screens and 3D showings, which, according to RealD, made up 47% of the domestic gross.

DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, a family-friendly musical featuring the voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, took second place with $45.6m in North America, and $30m internationally. In addition to being one of the first new family films to hit the market in a few weeks, the film had the added benefit of an original hit song from Timberlake, Can’t Stop the Feeling.

And in third place, Hacksaw Ridge, Gibson’s film about the true story of the conscientious objector Desmond Doss’s heroics during the battle of Okinawa, earned $14.8m. The independently financed film cost a reported $40m to make.

Holdovers populated spots four and five. Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween dropped 55% in its third weekend in theaters. It made $7.8m, bringing its total earnings to $65m.

Perry managed to beat out Inferno again, which brought in only $6.3m in weekend two to take fifth place. The Tom Hanks-starrer has grossed $26.1m to date.

In limited release, the likely awards film Loving, about the true story of the couple behind the supreme court decision that invalidated laws against interracial marriage, opened in four theaters to $169,000.

Check out the Nov. 4-6 weekend box office estimates below:

1. Doctor Strange – $85 million
2. Trolls – $45.6 million
3. Hacksaw Ridge – $14.8 million
4. Boo! A Madea Halloween – $7.8 million
5. Inferno – $6.3 million
6. The Accountant – $6 million
7. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back – $5.6 million
8. Ouija: Origin of Evil – $4 million
9. The Girl on the Train – $2.8 million
10. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children – $2.1 million
