What a crazy two weeks it has been. Eternals went from being the most hyped MCU flick of all time to falling right on its face with critics panning it and a opening weekend that is not the level where it should be. Although, we should not be too worried as Eternals is doing solid at the box office. I know, I know. I just said it was not at the right level. Well, that is the domestic number. The overseas numbers are particularly strong. Eternals opened with an estimated $71M domestic and $90.7M internationally. That brings the grand total to $161.7M. Deadline reports that this global total is "26% ahead of Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings and 8% ahead of Black Widow in like-for-like markets.". So as you can see, the movie was definitely not a bomb and will most likely reach the $350M-400M mark that Shang-Chi and Venom are at right now.
Let's look at Disney's 7 other movies in the marketplace. First off, The Eyes of Tammy Faye is done with its run after 7 weekends at the box office. The film ended its run with only a $2.4M total. Ron's Gone Wrong and The French Dispatch took spots #5 and #6, respectively, and both feel less than 5%! That is very strong for both films and shows that there is some type of audience willing to see these movies even when there are big blockbusters coming out. Antlers fell 53% in its 2nd weekend showing that horror flick did not gain an audience despite its small opening. As suspected, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings fell kind of hard this weekend only making $502k this weekend. With the film hitting Disney+ this Friday, keep expecting it fall. Jungle Cruise (which made $34k this weekend) is also hitting Disney+ this Friday. However, Jungle Cruise is almost done with its run and should leaves theaters in the next 2 weekends or so. The Last Duel made $151k this weekend and fell a steep 73% percent. Lastly, Free Guy fell 9% and made $80k this weekend.
As for this coming week, Clifford the Big Red Dog will open this Wednesday to take advantage of Veterans Day. However, the film will also be available on Paramount Plus. Then on Friday, Belfast (a huge awards contender) will open.
