- India's latest hit #SarkaruVaariPaata is tracking to open today at #2 nationwide across the US #boxoffice behind only #DoctorStrange. #Telugu pic stars #MaheshBabu & is now playing in 500+ thtrs incl Cinemark Tinseltown in Grapevine TX which has TWENTY-FOUR showtimes today alone!
- That sound you just heard was #AvatarTheWayOfWater cracking $300M domestic, $700M intl and ONE BILLION DOLLARS at global #boxoffice - all at the same time!! #Avatar
- Top 3 biggest #boxoffice grosses of all-time for a film in its 5th wknd: $42.8M #Avatar - JAN 2010 $31.1M #AvatarTheWayOfWater - JAN 2023 $30.0M #Titanic - JAN 1998 They seem to have some things in common, but can't put my finger on it...
- This SUN, #Superman will surpass the $291M of Man of Steel at North American #boxoffice after just 17 days.
- Today is the day that #Joker shatters the $1,000,000,000 mark at the global #boxoffice! Totals at the start of today were $317M domestic, $682.1M intl & $999.1M worldwide. Absolutely jaw-dropping achievement for an R-rated film with a moderate budget and no China release.
- Tamil language action film #Master from India has opened very well at the US #boxoffice with a gross of about $350k from 75 thtrs from TUE pre-shows thru SUN. The FRI-SUN take of about $200k+ would put it into the US Top 10 this wknd. #MasterFilm #MasterPongal
- Only once in #boxoffice history have two NOV movies in the same year broken $400M domestic each. 2013 - Hunger Games 2 and Frozen. Now it's happening again with #Wicked and #Moana2, which will both join the quadruple century club real soon!
- UPDATE - #TheBatman performed stronger than estimated on SUN dropping about 21% (vs 35% est) to roughly $34M (vs $28.2M est). That's $6M better than expected! Opening wknd #boxoffice was approx $134M - official studio numbers coming. #Batman #TheBatandTheCat $AMC
- #Superman STILL showing great weekday legs with powerful $10.9M THU, off 7% vs WED, finishing full 7-day opening week at $177.7M. 2nd wknd of around $60M looks very possible which would be 52% drop. We now can NOT rule out domestic #boxoffice BREAKING $400M! #SupermanMovie
- #Joker is on fire in intl mkts with a sensational $123.7M this wknd dropping only 29%. Stellar new totals are $351.2M overseas and $543.9M at worldwide #boxoffice. This one might just reach the Billion Dollar mark, people!
- It's official! #F1TheMovie has now surpassed #Superman at the worldwide #boxoffice! Latest totals thru AUG 27: $607.1M - F1 $606.7M - Superman
- Is Tanjiro bigger than Clark Kent? #DemonSlayerInfinityCastle continues to open in new mkts (France & Germany were huge this wknd!) and global #boxoffice is getting closer to Superman. $616M - #Superman $555M - #DemonSlayer Strong run keeps going. Infinity Castle will break
- American star #KevinCostner and Indian star #Prabhas both have new films opening this wknd. #HorizonAmericanSaga and #Kalki2898AD are both 3-hour epics that will open in Top 5 at US #boxoffice with likely $11M+ each thru SUN. #Kalki2898 released 1 day earlier but it's got 2/3rds
