Wow! What a great weekend at the box office (and it's not over yet!!!). Uncharted blew projections out of the water with a $44.5M 3-day total and $51M 4-day total. This shows the potential of the franchise as 3.5M people came out to support the film over the 3-day weekend. Plus, as Deadline states, Tom Holland is a star that can bring people to the theaters. Uncharted was not the only winner. Dog was able to win big with a $15.1M 3-day total and $18M 4-day total. With the film only costing $15M to make, Channing Tatum's directorial debut will be one of the few films that will break even and maybe even make a profit. Dog was able to bring in 1.4M people over the 3-day weekend. These two movies succeeding is a great sign for the films coming soon. I will post another post if the numbers change drastically over the next few days.

As for this Friday, there is a small break before The Batman hits theaters. The only wide release is Studio 666. There is also the 2022 re-release of The Godfather and the expansion of Cyrano.

This weekend at the box office was the calm before the storm, as the already released films were trying to make as much money as they could before The Batman hits this Thursday night. Speaking of, The Batman is projected to open anywhere from $100M-$115M. Two weeks ago, I said no way. However, now that we are closer to the release date, I am more confident it will reach that $100M threshold. However, I do think that it will be close. Both Uncharted and Dog, which opened considerably strong for their genre, had solid falls at 47% and 32%, respectively. Yes, the numbers are still not back to what they used to be, but it is moving in that direction. As for new movies, Studio 666 opened with a detrimental $1.58M. Cyrano did a soft $1.4M in a little less than 800 theaters, showing that the adult movie crowd is still is not back. The Godfather re-release did a solid $900k in 156 theaters. And once again, Deadline questions Disney for placing Turning Red on Disney+, as Sing 2 just crossed $351.4M worldwide.

As mentioned, the only wide release this weekend is The Batman.

1.) Uncharted (Sony) 4,275 theaters, Fri $6M (-61%)/Sat $10.6M/Sun $6.7M/3-day $23.2M (-47%)/Total $83.3M/Wk 2

2.) Dog (UAR) 3,827 (+150) theaters, Fri $2.4M (-51%)/Sat $4.78M/Sun $2.8M/3-day $10.1M (-32%)/Total $30.8M/Wk 2

3.) Spider-Man: No Way Home (Sony) 3,002 (+46) theaters, Fri $1.3M (-24%)/Sat $2.7M/Sun $1.7M/3-day $5.75M (-23%)/Total $779.88M/Wk 11

Well, the time finally came! The Batman was released almost everywhere around the globe this weekend. Domestically, it gathered $128.5M in its opening weekend. That is spectacular, as it makes the film the highest opening of this year so far and the second-highest opening in the pandemic era. Even with the gritter take and 3-hour runtime, it did not stop people from seeing it. As I mentioned, I already went twice! As for the coming weeks, The Batman has no competition until March 25 (The Lost City). With Turning Red now on Disney+ and only smaller films releasing in between this and The Lost City, The Batman should rake in a lot more cash. As for the holdovers, they weren't too bad. Uncharted and Dog fell 52% and 41%, respectively. These numbers are not terrible considering the loss of a lot of theaters for both films. Meanwhile, Sing 2 and No Way Home continue to stay near the top of the charts with falls of 32% and 24%, respectively.

Like I stated before, there are only smaller films coming out this Friday. With Turning Red on Disney+, that leaves only limited releases for The Batman to overshadow.

Notable Totals:
  • 13 films fell more than 50% this week. They are listed in the BoxOfficePro article listed below.

It makes me wonder what the next Disney 150 million plus movie will will be. Even their big budget action releases (outside of the couple of Marvel movies last year) or animation branding films have not been able to do that since the pandemic.

If we're talking non-MCU, then it will be Lightyear. If we are including Fox, then Avatar 2 of course. If we are excluding MCU, animated, and Fox, then it won't be until Little Mermaid in 2023.

Are we talking about opening weekends only? Non-MCU? Then both Avatar 2 and Little Mermaid will make over $150 million OW.

So...
Doctor Strange 2 will make over $150 million OW and could make upwards of $500 million domestic.
Lightyear may make close to$100 million OW and likely over $250 million domestic.
Thor L and T will open around $150 million and make probably over $400 million domestic.
Black Panther 2 will NOT be out in 2022. That's pretty much a 100% guarantee. When it does come out, it will be HUGE.
Avatar 2 will be huge and probably make over $200 million OW and over $600 million domestic. It has the Christmas holiday.

In 2023,
Marvels may end up a little less than the first Captain Marvel.
GOTG3 will probably be bumped to July and BP2 will take the May slot. BP2 will probably open well over $150 million and make over $500 million domestic. GOTG3 will do around the same as last GOTG movie (my prediction).
I predict Little Mermaid to be HUGE as well. It will have been 4 years since the last theatrical live action and they've spent a LONG time on this one. I think people will fall in love with Hallie Bailey's Ariel portrayal.

Along with No Way Home still making decent box office plus virtually all of the top films of 2021 being coming book movies, can we all finally agree that superhero fatigue isn’t a thing?

Just when it looked like we have a solid slate of 2022 movies, Warner Brothers has shifted a handful of their films. Here they are:
  • DC League of Super-Pets moves from May 20 to July 29.
  • The Flash moves from November 4 to June 23, 2023.
  • Aquaman moves from December 16 to March 17, 2023.
  • Wonka moves from March 17, 2023, to December 15, 2023.
  • Shazam! Fury of the Gods moves up from June 2, 2023, to December 16, 2022
  • Meg 2: The Trench has been set for August 4, 2023.
The main reason for the DC movies being moved is that the VFX are not ready, while Shazam 2 is basically ready to go. Although, it is placed against Avatar 2. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

Meanwhile, The Batman has crossed $300M worldwide. It is projected to make $60M-$70M in its second weekend.

I knew Aquaman would move. But the flash moving back 8 months? I guess they are afraid of it going up against Black Panther 2 which is NOT coming out in November. So, I guess it's The Marvels they are worried about (will probably switch with BP2).

And Shazam will go against Star Wars Rogue Squadron?

Nope. Shazam got moved up to this December.

Oh I misread. So, in WB's brilliant wisdom, they moved Aquaman2 out of the way of Avatar2's destruction and moved a different movie into its path?

I guess in their mind it's better to move another water-based move away from Avatar2 and put in something else to fail?
