Box Office Rundown 1/6/20

By Paul Anthony

Welcome to the second edition of this blog series in the new year and now that the year has kicked off with basically one new film a horror film and a reboot. I predicted to be the number fourth film of the top ten. Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker once again took the number 1 spot but it is starting to lose steam in fact most of the films of last month are now losing steam and this upcoming week, we have 4 new films aiming to make it in the top ten but will they? I predict all four will but Under Water will barely crack the top ten. This week we don’t really have a winner, which someone who moves up a good amount of spots most of the top ten stayed pretty much intact. We do have some losers but barely, both films dropped two spots and that is Frozen 2 who went from 3 to 5 and Cats who went from 8 to 10. Now Let’s look at the top ten shall we?

1. Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker, 33.739 million
2.  Jumanji: The Next Level, 26.500 million
3. Little Women, 13.575 million
4.  The Grudge, 11.300 million
5.  Frozen 2, 11.291 million
6. Spies in Disguise, 10.081 million
7.  Knives Out, 9.025 million
8. Uncut Gems, 7.826 million
9.  Bombshell, 4.075 million
10.  Cats, 2.6 million

Here are my predictions!

1. Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
2. Just Mercy
3.  Like a Boss
4.  The Grudge
5. Jumanji: The Next Level
6.  Frozen 2
7.  Spies in Disguise
8.  Under Water
9. Little Women
10.  Knives Out

Box office Rundown 12/30/19

By Paul Anthony

welcome to the final edition of Box Office rundown for the year of 2019 and we are just days away from kicking off a new year in film but how did this weekend stack up. For Starters, Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker remains in the number 1 spot. Uncut gems got the biggest jump when it got a wide release, it went from 15th to 7th and the biggest loser is Cats which to my shock remains in the top ten but dropped from 4th to 8th, so without wasting time let’s look at our current top ten.

1. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, 72 million
2.  Jumanji: The next level, 35.300 million
3.  Little Women, 16.525 million
4.  Frozen 2, 15.500 million
5.  Spies in Disguise, 13.200 million
6.  Knives out , 9.725 million
7.  Uncut Gems, 9.552 million
8.  Cats, 4.830 million
9.  Bombshell, 4.7 million
10.  Richard Jewell, 3.010

Well for the first weekend of the year we only have 1 wide release and that is the Grudge, which should help it make some money but I don’t see it becoming the number 1 film in it’s run. Here are my predictions!

1. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
2. Jumanji: The Next Level
3. Frozen 2
4.  The Grudge
5. Spies in Disguise
6. Little Women
7.  Uncut gems
8.  Knives Out
9.  Bombshell
10.  Richard Jewell

Box office Rundown! 12/23/19

By Paul Anthony

Welcome to this week’s edition and I am super excited to give out the numbers and the reason why is because it is Star Wars week, yes that is right the release of episode 9 A.K.A Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker which as predicted debuted at number 1 which was a no brainer but we had another wide release in the movie called Cats that just looked horrible. Cats had a 95 million dollar budget and opening weekend in the states where it made just a little over 6 million and just think it will only get worse and it forced the studio to do reshoots while the film is in it’s opening week. Now I am predicting it to fall to number 10 next week and it even do worse then that. Here are the numbers for the current top 10 domestic movies.

1. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, 175.500 million
2.  Jumanji: The next Level, 26.126 million
3.  Frozen 2, 12.3 million
4.  Cats, 6.5 million
5.  Knives Out, 6.125 million
6.  Bombshell, 5.075 million
7.  Richard Jewell, 2.565 million
8.  Queen and Slim, 1.850 million
9.  Black Christmas, 1.800 million
10.  Ford V Ferrari, 1.800 million

Now the biggest winning in the sense of moving up spots goes to Bombshell which was at number 19 and moved to number 6. The Biggest losers dropped each four spots and that was Black Christmas and Ford V Ferrari. Now we have 4 shows coming this weekend, none that I think will take the number 1 spot. We have Uncut Gems, Little Women, Spies in Disguise and I don’t know why but 4 episodes of friends titled Friendsgiving Day 2. So here what I am predicting for the next box office weekend!

1. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
2.  Jumanji: The next level
3.  Frozen 2
4.  Spies in Disguise
5.  Uncut Gems
6. Little Women
7.  Knives Out
8.  Richard Jewell
9.  Knives Out
10.  Cats

Box Office Rundown 12/9/19

By Paul Anthony

Welcome to this week edition of Box office rundown and who took the number 1 spot this week? Well it should be a no brainer that Frozen 2 for the third week in a row took the top spot, in fact the top 5 did not change at all. Number 6 however was a shocker because the film Dark Waters which this weekend was its first weekend in a wide release jumped from 19th to number 6th. Which earned itself the biggest jump of the week. The Biggest loser goes to Playmobil: The Movie which failed to make the top ten. The film barely touched number 14. Now this upcoming week starts the period where things are going to get crazy, this week we have the third Jumanji film titled Jumanji: The Next Level and the reboot of the reboot Black Christmas, then you got Richard Jewell, Bombshell and Uncut Gems.

1. Frozen 2, 34.67 million
2. Knives Out, 14.15 million
3.  Ford V Ferrari, 6.537 million
4.  Queen and Slim, 6.530 million
5.  A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, 5.2 million
6.  Dark Waters, 4.1 million
7.  21 Bridges, 2.8 million
8.  Playing With Fire, 2 million
9.  Midway, 1.940 million
10.  Joker, 1.04 million

Now As I said before this week will begin an interesting period, so here are my predictions on how the box office will look next week.

1. Jumanji: The Next Level
2.  Frozen 2
3.  Knives Out
4.  Richard Jewell
5.  Black Christmas
6.  Ford v Ferrari
7.  Dark Waters
8.  21 Bridges
9. Playing With Fire
10. Midway

Box Office Rundown

By Paul Anthony

Once again we survived another holiday weekend and once again frozen 2 was reigning supreme at the box office. Frozen 2 went up against Knives Out and won the battle by 58 million. Frozen 2 made around 85 million, well Knives Out made 27 million. Queen and Slim also made the top 5 in its opening weekend with 11 million and here is a shocker. Joker after being in 10th place last week actually moved up to 9th and I predicted it that it would fall out of the top ten all together. Charlie’s Angles took a big step in the wrong direction when it was in 8th place last week and fell all the way to 14th and only grossed 16 million and now lets look at our top 10!

1. Frozen 2, 85.25 million
2. Knives Out, 27 million
3. Ford v Ferrari, 13.221 million
4.  A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, 11. 8 million
5. Queen and Slim, 11.7 million
6.  21 bridges, 5.8 million
7.  Playing With Fire, 4.2 million
8.  Midway, 3.957 million
9.  Joker, 2 million
10.  Last Christmas, 1.980 million

Now usually we would have more then just one major release coming out this weekend but this time we only have 1 and that film is Playmobil: The Movie which is an animation so this will make things a little interesting.

Now here are my predictions for this week Box Office

1. Frozen 2
2. Knives Out
3.  Playmobil: The Movie
4. Ford V Ferrari
5. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
6. Playing With Fire
7.  21 Bridges
8. Midway
9. Queen and Slim
10.  Joker

Now Let’s see how accurate I can be this week!

 

Box Office Rundown 11/25/19

By Paul Anthony

This past weekend we saw the release of one of the most anticipated animated sequels of all time and it is safe to say when people say that Frozen 2 was going to come out on November 22nd of this year you would think studios would stay away from this weekend but I guess I was wrong, besides Frozen 2 we saw A beautiful day in the neighborhood and 21 Bridges needless to say we know which film came in at number 1 which was frozen 2

1. Frozen 2, 127 million
2. Ford V Ferrari, 16 million
3. A beautiful day in the neighborhood, 13.5 million
4.  21 bridges, 9.3 million
5. Midway, 4.7 million
6. Playing With Fire, 4.6 million
7. The Good Liar, 3.375 million
8.  Charlie’s Angels, 3.175 million
9.  last Christmas, 3 million
10.  Joker, 2.8 million

Now this week we have two films opening up but they are coming out on Wednesday to get a few days on the Holiday rush but in the end I don’t see that mattering much so here are my top 10 for next week.

1. Frozen 2
2. Knives Out
3.  Ford V Ferrari
4.  21 bridges
5.  Queen and Slim
6. Midway
7. Playing with Fire
8.  The Good Liar
9.  Charlie’s Angels
10.  Last Christmas

 

Box Office Rundown 11/18/19

By Paul Anthony

This past week we saw the release of three new films. The Good Liar, Charlie’s Angels and Ford v Ferrari and of the three who took number one? It was no other then Ford v Ferrari which made over 31 million, last week surprised number 1 fell to number 2 beating out newcomer Charlie’s Angels but the totals from number 2 and 3 couldn’t reach our number 1 film. We do have some movies that took a fall and lets go with Terminator: Dark Fate took the biggest fall at 6 spots and in fact it fell out of the top 10 already. Last weeks big name Dr. Sleep took the second biggest fall when it fell from number 2 to number 6 this and with what is opening this week its going to be tough for anyone to make money. Our first R rated billion dollar film Joker still is holding strong and remains in the top ten, this time it is number 8. Now this week once again we have three new films opening this week, Frozen 2, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 21 Bridges. This week gives us a little of everything.

1. Ford V Ferrari, 31 million
2. Midway, 8.750 million
3.  Charlie’s Angels, 8.600 million
4. Playing With Fire, 8.550 million
5.  Last Christmas, 6.7 million
6. Dr. Sleep, 6.181 million
7.  The Good Liar, 5.656 million
8.  Joker, 5.635 million
9. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, 5.247 million
10.  Harriet, 4.780 million

Now here is my predictions for this upcoming week, now this will be a tricky week but I am giving it a shot.

1. Frozen 2
2.  A Beautiful Day in the neighborhood
3. Ford V Ferrari
4.  21 bridges
5.  Midway
6.  Playing With Fire
7.  Last Christmas
8.  The Good Liar
9. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
10.  Joker
