Deadline also tried to push out the story that Black Adam was actually a success, despite the box office and critical reviews telling a very different story. Deadline is absolutely running PR for Dwayne Johnson.
@@brockbusterwhat does reviews have to do with something being successful? Many good movies this year flopped, reviews didn't change a thing. Stop using review scores to hate on movies. The rock lives in y'all heads rent free.
Honestly, it could have been a billion if Wicked would be better known globally, hell maybe the next Barbie. Hopefully it catches fire on streaming could see part 2 getting there.
I went to see jt on Friday. Honestly, I was very hesitant about Wicked until the reviews came out and had no intention to see it until I heard the reviews. It was a great movie. As someone who also likes the Broadway show, I’m curious to see what they will do with the second act which has always been a bit rough and rushed. It was a great movie worth seeing in a theater.
unless im mistaken, its been awhile since you've done a market share breakdown, would be cool to see a breakdown on how this year's been for each studio
They used to be good. But this was so obviously not true that every single writer there should have spotted it and questioned it and immediately debunked it. Embarrassing for them.
Dan out of all the content creators that review box offices you are easily the best. You do your research and your opinions on the films are fair and thought out. You da man.
People who hate musicals: "Adaptation of a Broadway show? No thanks. Can't stand all that singing." Also people who hate musicals: "Singing animated characters? Take my money!"
Is always like that. It is just like "Super Hero movies are dead". Everytime there is two or three flops in the genre in a roll they say that. For the last 25 years ever since X-men begin the new generation of super hero movies. No one notice that those flops happen to be horrible movies and that maybe people are not tired of super hero movies, but of bad super heroes movies. The same with movies. People went into crisis mode because Furiosa and Fall Guy flop. Well, maybe dont do a Mad Max movie without Max and maybe there is a reason why 90s actions movies belong to the 90s and dont try to do one with a huge budget today.
@ exactly there are so many variables to why movies don’t do well today versus when you see movies that do well make profit for the reasons that they did. I’m not gonna lie when I say that the holiday absolutely played a big role and why we just had a massive box office draw but that doesn’t mean the movies weren’t attainable by mass audiences for them to be excited to go see.
I still remember people saying this a lot during May of THIS YEAR, before Inside Out 2 and Deadpool 3 proved that wrong, and now we have even more proof
@@wachinimagaming4898 is so stupid some times. Like, Indiana Jones 5 didnt flop because people dont want to go to the movies. It flops because no one wants to see their hero as a sad old man that lost everything they care in life. Nothing to do with Phoebe Waller-Bridge btw. If they had made a fun adventure where we first meet Indie as a happy man with grand kids that decided to help the daughter of an old friend I think the movie would had gather a lot more good will from fans. But no, Hollywood is obsess with the sad old man trope. Eventough the only legacy sequel that really succeed didnt do it. Maverick was not a sad old man, his life was not perfect, but it was good. He was still in the navy, flying experimental jets and none his friendship with Iceman going strong. If the geniouses behind Indie had made Top Gun Maverick, he would be a drunk that was kick out of the navy. Anyway, I digress, movies fail for a reason and it is not that people dont want to go to the movies anymore.
This was such an awesome ep. Thanks for always going hard on the facts, holding publications accountable, holding yourself accountable, and digging deeps for the most interesting charts. You honestly have the best box office show and I’m thankful for it every week. Thank you.
I think Wicked is also holding so well because even people who did go to opening weekend are also going _back_ for repeat viewings. Not sure how many people are going to rewatch Moana 2, but it'll be interesting to see.
@@nubby2790 According to Box Office Mojo's Monday numbers this week, both films earned around 5-and-half million for the day. So the domestic gap between the two may be lessening quickly.
May to August: Austin Powers, The Fifth Element, Hercules, Men in Black, Contact, Air Force One, Conspiracy Theory, etc... Yet Nostalgia Critic focuses on the bad releases and includes that year in his "Dark Age of Movies" video.
After a few less-than-pleasant theater experiences at the beginning of the year, I drastically cut back on the number of movies I wanted to see in theaters, really only seeing a few of the "tent poles" to avoid spoilers. But Wicked definitely got me remembering how much fun a GOOD experience can be and I decided to take my nephew to see Moana while I was visiting for Thanksgiving. The movie was eh, but I think we've got a new tradition.
We didn’t have as much family as normal this year down for Thanksgiving so we went out for dinner and then did a movie on Thanksgiving for the first time as a family. Did Wicked and I loved it (musical junkie, but had never seen Wicked and didn’t have a connection to it, but was super impressed) and the Thanksgiving movie is a super fun family event.
I heard one person say that this was the rare year that the last five days of the month actually out grossed the first 25! And that is both remarkable and kind of sad for a November!
Such an exciting weekend to be a part of. Looking for seats in my market for Wicked and Moana 2 proved difficult, but made it out to both in very packed houses.
The Matrix reloaded , Pirares of the Carribean Dead mans Chest, Iron man 2 and Tranformers revenge of the fallen all did better than the first movie at the box office, despite not being as well reviewed as the first. So I think Moana 2 falls into this same category where the goodwill from the first movie and desiree to see the next installment is strong enough to overcome any concerns about a decline in quality. However if there is a 3rd and 4th Moana movie, and they are not as good either, that could be where we could see the box office start to fall (similar to what happended to the later matrix, transformers moviers for example).
There's a general pattern for series, franchises, etc, where the box office for one instalment is, if anything, more correlated with the quality of the previous instalment than with its own - unless a movie is so good that everyone's talking about it, people who didn't like the previous one probably won't bother - they'll check it out sooner on streaming, but won't make an effort to catch it in cinemas - but unless it's getting terrible reviews, someone who liked the last one will probably still go to see the new one.
I wonder if Wicked held so well due to people going back to see it again. I returned for a second viewing and I can't remember the last time I saw a new movie twice in the cinema in the space of a week.
37:33 Just a quick note, I would not label All We Imagine As Light as a "frontrunner" for International Feature for the simple reason that it is not eligible in that category.
Love the show, Dan! Just have one suggestion: When you round a box-office number, you’re doing it a bit wrong. Instead of automatically truncating a number right at the last digit you want to include, you should look at the digit immediately to the right, and possibly round-up if it’s 5 or greater. For example, Moana 2 grossed $139,787,385, which you had truncated to $139.7 million. What you should’ve done is, since the next number - 8 - is greater than 5, round up the last digit you’re using: $139.8 million.
Thanks for everything you’ve been doing with keeping consistent in what I must assume is a very weird time for you, your energy and passion for your work always brighten up my day. Thanks Dan for being one of the realest ones on TH-cam,
Honestly, I have very low expectations for Mufasa. Pre sales are already up at my theater and not one showing is even half full. Wicked and Moana were nearly sold out in a day for the best showings.
Sonic 3 is the only one of those 3 I think will make bank. Mufasa will make more money than it deserves just like all this pissing disney "live action" movies. Nosferstu will not make bank but by god I hope everyone talks about it, and I can't wait to see it.
Thank you for the awesome information overload Dan! I thought M2 would have a big opening since it's so popular on Disney+, but wow did not see that coming. Love the flashback BO.1989 was a great year in cinema and that Top 5 is a perfect example why.
Finally! A cumulative, year-to-date total box office chart is exactly what I've felt has been missing for a long time. Please continue to show that chart, Dan, at least monthly.
Dan if you ever want to travel to see movies, Nashville is where it’s at. The AMC Thorobred 20, Regal Opry Mills and Belcourt are all staples. Regal Opry Mills is playing Interstellar in 70mm if you were looking to travel to see it in 70MM
They really needed to restore investor confidence on this year. They did it in spades and is only gonna assure more obnoxious sequel planning as a consequence.
@@motherplayer I don't know, the money people are not stupid for long, and the trend for sequels is still not great. Also to do a sequel that won't attract rehash criticism, you need a certain kind of content like Deadpool, or the opportunity presented by a long lag like Moana and Inside Out had.
Gonna be very interesting to see the per-average numbers for the Interstellar rerelease this week since a lot of the IMAX theaters showing it are either completely sold out or are very close to selling out every showing they have.
22:28 Small fact check. Not all schools domestically were out for the US Thanksgiving weekend because the domestic box office also includes Canada which celebrated Thanksgiving in October
Hey Dan. Really enjoy following you. Just wanted to give you an FYI: All We Imagine as Light isn't India’s entry in the Best International Film Category (India submitted Lost Ladies; however, I think AWIAL will be competing in several other categories.
I work at an 8 screen theatre in Upstate NY. Going by the estimated numbers, we expected it to be busy, but not as busy as it was. We saw three times the amount of business we did last year.
If you haven’t already checked out Dan’s breakdown of “Hot Frosty” - DO IT NOW. It does not rely on you having already watched the film and it is SO FUNNY. 🔥⛄️🔥
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the Wicked sing-along screenings coming around on Christmas. They're looking for those Greatest Showman legs going into the new year.
Amazing as always Dan. I think Moana was underrated when it came out and a lot of people discovered after it came out so Moana 2 probably had a lot of good coming into theaters.
It’s interesting seeing how small all the drop-offs are. It’s like the audiences just showed up to all the movies in the top 5, enough that none of them had a terrible drop. There wasn’t audience competition, people just came out in droves.
I'll be waiting until next week to see Moana 2. My local theater had a 7:35 am showing of it over the weekend which is the earliest showing I think I've ever seen them have.
For anyone that is curious: Solo Leveling is a complete webcomic that is incredibly enjoyable! I haven't yet caught the anime version but I'm very interested to see it
The Wild Robot is an awesome movie and it's amazing to see it on the big screen. I was surprised by how much I like that movie. I wish it was doing better than it is.
300 million is honestly pretty good and Dreamworks clearly wants to do more for it. If Moana 2 proves anything it's that people chomping at the bit to go see the sequel shows how good the first one is.
Moana 2 will be my 93rd theater-going experience in 2024 tomorrow. I'm running out of interesting releases to reach 100 before the end of the year. I might have to go see Mufasa after all...
As a lover of Agatha All Along, I’m very happy to hear that the audience was large and grew as the show went on I want Disney/Marvel to hear that and give us more content of that level of quality
On that chart about consecutive weekends with $100 million openings, it is worth noting that all of the other three instances were pairs of sequels. Wicked is the only entry that wasn't a sequel.
By my back-of-the-envelope math, if "Wicked" has the same legs as "Top Gun: Maverick", then it will finish around 637.9 million dollars. That would put it ahead of "Deadpool & Wolverine" by 1.2 million dollars. That's something to watch for the next few weeks.
@@daviddelara7158I probably agree. Maverick had zero competition for all of August and September basically once the summer releases fizzled out. That said, Wicked had almost as good of a Monday as Moana, with Christmas so close because Thanksgiving was so late, 600 million is possible.
27.9% drop after an opening over $100 million, and against a juggernaut family film making a huge opening itself is a stupendous achievement. Defying Gravity is very apt.
I saw Wicked last weekend with my sisters. It was amazing! Beautiful set designs and costumes. Ariana and Cynthia were perfect for the role. I can't wait to see it again. I hope it dominate the Oscars it's so good! It's now one of my favorite movies. I think it will have long legs because it's so good.
37:33 Sadly, All We Imagine as Light is not the frontrunner for the International Feature Film Oscars because none of the five countries with the companies that co-produced this film submitted for this year's ceremony. **France* (Emilia Pérez) **India* (Laapataa Ladies) **Netherlands* (Memory Lane) **Italy* (Vermiglio) **Luxembourg* -- Not submitted any film.
All We Imagine As Light is ineligible for Best International Feature at the Oscar’s since no country submitted it. But it deserves to not only be nominated but win!
Moana 2 breaks a box office records at $389.3 million worldwide, $225.4 million domestic, and $139.8 million that’s the biggest thanksgiving weekend for an animated film that breaks frozen 2 in 2019. 💵 💶 💲
so happy wicked is doing well domestically. i wish the international numbers were better though. people keep saying it hasn’t opened in the biggest international markets yet, but i don’t know how much those will bring in (hopefully a good amount)
The Wizard of Oz and the original musical aren't that well known internationally compared to how big they are in the US. Speaking as a European, Wicked is very much a US phenomenon (you could extend it to the anglo-sphere too, but not much to where English isn't a first language). My local cinema isn't even showing it.
“An intimidating number of charts” is exactly what I love to hear at the beginning of a Dan video.
For sure! I was so happy.
Same! 😂
This is one of the best Charts with Dan episodes. When the box office wins, Charts with Dan wins. When Charts with Dan wins, we all win.

Forget Glicked, this was Moaned (Moana and Wicked)
lol
"Micked"?
Reminds me of how Italy has a different title for Moana because a famous adult video star from there is named Moana
and next year it will be Wicktopia 😂

The theater company I work for said that this past weekend was our second busiest weekend of all time, just behind endgames opening weekend
Even more than Barbenheimer? Dang

Even worse, it was eligible, but neither France nor India chose to send it as their entry.
Maybe The Rock paid them off. He needs the win cause he’s been in hot water recently 17:08
Love the show, Dan! Just have one suggestion: When you round a box-office number, you’re doing it a bit wrong.

I'm not rounding the number up mathematically, I'm just giving a shorter version of the full number verbally.

Cinemas are back baby!

Between Mufasa, Sonic 3 and Nosferatu, I'm positive 2024 will outgross 2023.
I'd be amazed if Nosferatu broke $100 million. It's a nice thought but I doubt it will even come close to the other two you mentioned.

Josh Brolin also had two number 1s in same month with Infinity War and Deadpool 2.

On that chart about consecutive weekends with $100 million openings, it is worth noting that all of the other three instances were pairs of sequels. Wicked is the only entry that wasn't a sequel.
By my back-of-the-envelope math, if "Wicked" has the same legs as "Top Gun: Maverick", then it will finish around 637.9 million dollars. That would put it ahead of "Deadpool & Wolverine" by 1.2 million dollars. That's something to watch for the next few weeks.
That’s not gonna happen
@@daviddelara7158I probably agree. Maverick had zero competition for all of August and September basically once the summer releases fizzled out.
That said, Wicked had almost as good of a Monday as Moana, with Christmas so close because Thanksgiving was so late, 600 million is possible.
I really hope we get Queer here in Australia. Looks really good from the trailer.
27.9% drop after an opening over $100 million, and against a juggernaut family film making a huge opening itself is a stupendous achievement. Defying Gravity is very apt.
Re the Dwayne Johnson/Deadline correction - well done, sir!
Harlem Nights talk about a guilty pleasure movie. everyone need to see this it is so fun
Moana 2 did way better than I expected. I love watching charts when the box office is doing well.
I saw Wicked last weekend with my sisters. It was amazing! Beautiful set designs and costumes. Ariana and Cynthia were perfect for the role. I can't wait to see it again. I hope it dominate the Oscars it's so good! It's now one of my favorite movies. I think it will have long legs because it's so good.

Sadly, All We Imagine as Light is not the frontrunner for the International Feature Film Oscars because none of the five countries with the companies that co-produced this film submitted for this year's ceremony.
**France* (Emilia Pérez)
**India* (Laapataa Ladies)
**Netherlands* (Memory Lane)
**Italy* (Vermiglio)
**Luxembourg* -- Not submitted any film.
good video thanks
I was really surprised that AMC theater made a really huge success business on Saturday.
All We Imagine As Light is ineligible for Best International Feature at the Oscar’s since no country submitted it. But it deserves to not only be nominated but win!
Moana 2 breaks a box office records at $389.3 million worldwide, $225.4 million domestic, and $139.8 million that’s the biggest thanksgiving weekend for an animated film that breaks frozen 2 in 2019. 💵 💶 💲
I saw Gladiator II. My first movie in theaters since summer. I liked it. I wish it was making more money.
This is the start of a build between The Rock and Nicholas Cage at WrestleMania
Nic Cage In A Steel Cage?
so happy wicked is doing well domestically. i wish the international numbers were better though. people keep saying it hasn’t opened in the biggest international markets yet, but i don’t know how much those will bring in (hopefully a good amount)
The Wizard of Oz and the original musical aren't that well known internationally compared to how big they are in the US. Speaking as a European, Wicked is very much a US phenomenon (you could extend it to the anglo-sphere too, but not much to where English isn't a first language). My local cinema isn't even showing it.
The #1 predictor of cinema success is previous movie in same IP’s reputation… obviously…
Deadline have now corrected their story, btw
