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

    I dunno, I just don't see it. Thunderbolts is sitting now at $370 Million after this weekend, it had weak legs throughout its entire run, it did not do well overseas, and going into its 6th week it has now flatlined at the box office. Unless they hold that turkey in 500 theaters through...

    Will it though? It would seem to be more on a trajectory towards $850 Million or less, even with Japan's debut next weekend. Regardless of whether it makes $800 Million or $1 Billion at the global box office, it's a huge money maker for Burbank and the Rideback Ranch kids over the hill. Thanks...

    Here's the first pass at weekend box office, gang! Lilo & Stitch dropped 57% and Thunderbolts dropped 50% from last weekend. It does not appear as though Thunderbolts will hit $400 Million globally at this point. And with a production budget of $180 Million, that means it will lose a...

    Thank you for the reminder! Even I sometimes can be convinced I'm chatting with "experts" in the topic's field, when clearly none of us are experts at anything we discuss here; E Ticket hourly capacity, box office trends, executive strategy for mature park development, WDI priorities in modern...

    I'm not in the movie industry. I was in the industrial supply industry, but I retired. So now I'm here. :cool: Yes, we'll know the totals for Lilo & Stitch about two months from now. Currently, it's foreign box office is at only 98% of its domestic box office, which is a comparatively weak...

    Yeah, Thunderbolts is about to flatline, and it will be a money loser at the box office for Burbank. Even with the asterisk. Thunderbolts: $180 Production, $90 Marketing, $106 Domestic, $73 Foreign = $91 Million Loss So Far https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Thunderbolts-(2025)#tab=summary

    You probably got tipped off when I said this about an hour ago... Otherwise... It's not a final total obviously because it's only been out a week. Instead, it's a current comparison and view at the overseas box office trajectory. It won't work if a movie is opening overseas in different...

    I know, I hate math too. Try Google, it's so much easier! Just don't tell Miss Voight my 8th grade math teacher, she didn't allow slide rules in class. :mad: Lilo & Stitch Mufasa The Little Mermaid Aladdin Beauty & The Beast

    Yes I can. In fact, I just did it. It's easy. And it's made easier by the fact Lilo & Stitch opened in all overseas markets except Japan at the same time it opened in the USA. The global box office data is updated daily. It opens in Japan next Friday. There are about 25 Million women under age...

    See my post above. Lilo & Stitch is underperforming overseas as of May 29th, heading into its second weekend in all markets except Japan (where it opens June 6th, and will likely do well but not make up for the rest of the planet's underperformance). Lilo & Stitch's foreign box office is...

    Based on some of the most popular live action remakes from Disney the past few years. Lilo & Stitch's foreign box office is currently at 98% of its domestic box office. That's not good. Barely over half what it should be doing, compared to other recent popular live action remakes. (I think we...

    Well, true. But Minecraft didn't open on a holiday weekend. The domestic box office for Minecraft was stronger than Lilo & Stitch over its first weekend, until Memorial Day Monday hit for Lilo & Stitch which allowed it to pull ahead. The first Monday for Minecraft was April 7th, a random...

    Random Thought Post-Nightcap; That little girl who they cast as Lilo is adorable! I've only seen her in the ads obviously, but she's spot on perfect for the live action remake and a total sweetheart! What a cutie! :) I put a few snarky comments above about children crashing some Memorial Day...

    No worries, I'm sure it's not your fault. I'm likely to blame as much as anyone as I skimmed and caught up on this thread randomly for 20 or 30 minutes at a time over the long holiday weekend, while salads chilled and coals heated up and I tried to remember if the next event was Adults Only for...

    Thank you! This should be fun, at least for me during my nightcap... Yup! How do you figure? Variety says they only spent $100 Million on global marketing for Lilo & Stitch. Uh... I've heard that phrase before, but have no idea what it means in a financial sense. Should I Google? Okay, I at...
