    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Worth noting Way of Water’s Xmas day was the second Sunday (the $29M day).

    I saw Way of Water when it came out and I have no recollection of how that movie ended. I remember a whale with subtitles, but there was no compelling cliffhanger that left me saying I wanted to see what was next.

    Avatar (the movie) and its Sequels

    Disagree on all that but it hardly matters. Major studios aren’t reintroducing intermissions anytime soon.

    Intermissions would be fine but not if they’re treated like commercial breaks. The ads at the start are bad enough.

    Interesting that domestically Zoo 2 is lagging behind Moana 2’s pace by a not-insignificant amount.

    Would be surprised if the ‘77 theatrical Star Wars isn’t the highest grossing rerelease in history.

    It’s wild that a Disney animated film did so much more business in China than in the U.S. (during a long holiday weekend, no less). Got me wondering, is there any precedent for a Disney animated title opening to more in China than in the U.S.?

    Box office mojo has $7.57B for 2025 vs $7.48B for 2024 in the YTD comparison

    I’m most curious to see if the domestic box office for 2025 equals 2024 when inflation is factored in. After this weekend, it’s going to be about 1.5-2% ahead of 2024 in flat numbers.

    So vague as to be practically meaningless.

    Live-Action reimagining of Moana

    Looks like a new low point

    Finally saw the Springsteen pic which was better than expected based on the trailer. Nice surprise!
