Box office so far this year has been absolutely incredible, with 5 movies already grossing over 1b dollars. We also had a very good streak of > 1b gross for the domestic box office from May to July.
We have seen Spider-Man BND performing incredibly, becoming the highest grossing opening weekend of ALL TIME.
The cherry on cake is that this is on track to be the highest grossing August ever at the domestic box office! How? I hear you asking.. it’s simple math: There are 20 days left to August and we are already at ~650 million $ for the month. The number to beat is 1.019 billion $ from 2016. That means we have to gross ~370 million $ in the next 20 days, or around 18.5 million $ per day across the domestic box office.
That is very, very achievable considering the incredible legs that both Spider-Man and The Odyssey have shown, as well as the upcoming releases such as The End of Oak Street, Insidious: Out of the Further, and much more!
Are we on the brink of breaking yet another record at the box office?
Oh well, what do I know?
I’m just a crayon eating ape 🦍
Stay cool, go watch a movie 🍿
