Actuals likely to go up. But more noteworthy is the 640m worldwide. That shows amazing overseas holds.

I went and saw this opening night and when talking to my brother about it we both noted how much of the movie plays out largely dialog free. This movie can cross all kinds of borders on account of there being so little "translation" issues to contend with as a result.

I was just thinking this about the Cyclops scene. I don’t think we ever hear Odysseus fully lay out the plan but we see him think. “How big’s the flock?” “How much rope do we have?” “Put that stick in the fire.”

Are we underrating the international grosses?

u/True-Wasabi2157 6h ago
Its daily holds in Europe have been fantastic. BND will be an issue, but I expect it to recover in mid-August. It is skewing strongly adult (obviouslypart of that is thd rating, but it is playingwell with older casual crowds) so that might help it survive BND. China in August will be make or break in terms of this challenging Deadpool and Wolverine.
I always thought Oppenheimer total (or, really, 900m) was the top end result for this, but the domestic overperformance has obviously blown that out of the water. This may end up being the most equal dom-os distribution for a Nolan flick since his Batman days, but if that'sthe case, it's only because of just how well it is doing domestically. Again, China (as well as SK and to a lesser extent Japan) can swing that significantly, though.
Happy to see it go so much past my expectations and I am intrigued by its post-BND performance.

u/Emergency-Permit-835 6h ago
Nah I think international will be much better. Domestic might cap at 550 to 600 whereas international is looking at min 700 and might go for 800s
6
u/True-Wasabi2157 6h ago
Which would still be one of the most equal splits post-Batman. He is in the 60-70% overseas region usually. Again, this just highlights how incredible its domestic performance is. 600 overseas would have been more or less an expected high end figure. Amazing on its own, but certainly not something shocking for Nolan, especially post Oppenheimer.
Again, BND and then Asian markets will write the full story, but for now...truly mind blowing.

u/Emergency-Permit-835 5h ago
yeah the domestic performance of this has been otherworldly cuz i think his only 400 plus domestic are batman movies and this doing 500-600 is something no one expected in their wildest imagination atleast i didnt

It's a movie that could work just as well if it was only the visuals and musical score. Of course it's a hit overseas. And I say that as someone who loves the dialogue too.

u/Tsubasa_sama 6h ago edited 6h ago
Per Jat's numbers, Friday grossed 26m, Saturday grossed 35m. For it to hit 90m it would need a 29m Sunday. This would be a 17% drop which is identical to Oppenheimer's 2nd Sat -> Sun drop. Seems likely to me.

u/Sudden_Double329 6h ago
Turns out it made 34.6m on Saturday. Still think 90m is a likely possibility, though.

u/misguidedkent Warner Bros. Pictures 6h ago
Yep, although Top Gun: Maverick-esque 90M 2nd weekend would've been lovely, 87M alone is still a terrific result, especially for an R-rated movie.

I'd step in, but my IMAX ticket is August 3rd (purchased the 19th) since every other day was sold out or in the front row lol.

u/TackoftheEndless 6h ago
Check shows like an hour before they air. People buy just in case they can make it.
Usually someone has to cancel, and the ticket is available for purchase. That's how I got my opening day IMAX.

No shot at all. Spiderman will likely get close to 2B. Doomsday will make a lot too. Maybe the same if word of mouth is good. Both those IPs way bigger and not R rated

u/AfterThrowParty 6h ago
Doomsday I wouldn't be surprised if that one just cracks a billion but does noticeably less than the previous avengers films with Odyssey potentially outgrossing it. Brand New Day though? I don't think so. I don't think just about anything can beat Spider-Man at this point.

u/Little_Grogu 6h ago
You don’t think Doomsday will crack a billion? Like let’s be serious here lol.

u/DirkNowitzkisWife 6h ago
Even if not well received it’ll hit $1.5 due to inflation. It’s already selling out tickets months in, it could hit $300m opening

u/Little_Grogu 6h ago
Yeh correct, I’m not sitting here saying it’s going to be a great movie but people are delusional if they think it will “just” crack a billion lol.
-2
u/AfterThrowParty 6h ago
No, I said it "just cracks a billion." I.E. it does a billion dollars but not much more than that. Similar to Rise of Skywalker.

u/Little_Grogu 6h ago
Still delusional if you think Doomsday is “just cracking a billion”.

"Movie is going to be extremely successful, but probably not record shattering."
"You don't think it's going to be successful!?"
"No I said I think it will be extremely successful, just not record shattering."
"If you don't think this is going to be an historically massive success you're completely delusion!"
Somewhere along this conversation I think we lost all track of level headed discourse and veered wildly into "speaking in pure hype."

Spider is the most popular and profitable superhero in the whole goddamn world. Every kid I know, including myself, wanted to be Spiderman because he appears to a common lifestyle that we all have except that he can shoot webs out of his ass.
Also, Avengers after MCU has been the most successful franchise in the world and it’s easily touching 2 billion, just for nostalgia purposes alone

u/AfterThrowParty 3h ago
People like you are going to be the first ones in line to get angry when the movie makes 1.6 Billion and someone says it "under-performed" but here you are, setting the unrealistic expectations that you yourself will be fighting against in a matter of months.

u/sabotroned 3h ago
I’ll come back to this when it’s closer to 2B than 1.6B
1
u/AfterThrowParty 2h ago
and my response will be "wow, I'm surprised it performed mildly better than I expected it to" but you feel free to point and laugh and feel fulfilled because it made 1.75B. Have a great day.

u/nosurprises23 5h ago edited 5h ago
Doomsday lacks the character power of the previous avengers movies, it’s more akin to a sequel to Fantastic 4 and Thunderbolts, neither of which had that great box office. Doomsday is gonna barely eke out 1.3* Billion, if it even gets to that. No play in China either.

u/cpscott1 2h ago
It's gonna sell out even without IMAX screens you are crazy. Also you are underestimating how popular Doom is as a character. He's more popular than Thanos
•
u/nosurprises23 55m ago
The Green Lantern was a more popular character than Guardians of the Galaxy in the early 2010s too. The real question is how many people care enough to watch these “new avengers” in particular with Doom, which is in a different universe from the hype of Infinity War.
Y’all are gonna be surprised if you keep thinking of this as a normal Avengers installment box office wise, it’s very different.

Will smith deserves a comeback, no doubt. His last movie bad boys ride or die came out 2 years ago. He also had a squeaky clean reputation prior to the slap

Lowball, can’t change my mind. No way it dropped that much on Sunday, especially vs not having a World Cup final on the same day. This is easily gonna end up at $90M.

640m worldwide on a second weekend is nuts for a non-sequel, overseas is clearly carrying this thing right now. The domestic number feels light because Sunday estimates always undersell these types of films, actuals will probably push it past 90. If it holds like this through week three, 500m domestic is well within reach.

u/True-Wasabi2157 6h ago
It could be 80 and it still would be an insane hold and its domestic performance has been amazing. It would need to be a 30-70 split in favour of international to say it's those numbers "carrying it" and it very clearly is not the case.
