Weekend Box Office

NEW YORK — Christmas came early at the box office this year with ‘Moana 2’ leading the way to record-breaking festivities.

LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers were not exactly feeling the Christmas spirit this weekend, or at least not based on their attendance at “Red One” showings.

“Venom: The Last Dance” has been no blockbuster in North American theaters. But in a lethargic fall moviegoing season, even a so-so performing superhero sequel can rule the box office for three straight weeks.

“Venom: The Last Dance” enjoyed another weekend at the top of the box office. The Sony release starring Tom Hardy added $26.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

NEW YORK — After 10 days in theaters, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is already the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, not accounting for inflation.

Monkey Man was supposed to be the next John Wick, but instead, it’s one more piece of woke garbage that failed to perform near expectations.

Sound of Freedom is set to close the summer by out-grossing Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Nolte: The groomers, fetishists, and perverts now running Disney/Marvel can only be beside themselves with fear now that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 opened to a very disappointing $110 million.

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is the latest non-woke movie to over-perform at the box office, breaking records with a stunning domestic haul of $204.6 million for its opening weekend.

More trouble on the Disney/Marvel front as “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” takes a 71 percent dive in weekend two. That’s worse than Marvel’s previous stinkers, Thor: Love and Thunder, which dropped 68 percent in weekend two, and Eternals, which collapsed by 62%.

The Benedict Cumberbatch-Elizabeth Olsen Marvel adventure, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning $185 million this weekend in its debut, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

The Batman — starring Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz — is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning $128.5 million in receipts this weekend, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

NEW YORK — For the eighth time in the last two and a half months, a movie starring Tom Holland is No. 1 at the box office.

Not even a global pandemic or a 12-year hiatus could stop the Jackass guys at the box office. “Jackass Forever,” the fourth movie in the anarchic series earned $23.5 million in ticket sales in its first weekend in theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the No. 1 movie in North America again, earning an additional $11 million in receipts this weekend, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

Director Steven Spielberg’s woke “West Side Story” remake is a box office catastrophe expected to open in the $10 million range.

LeBron James’ basketball-themed, live-action and cartoon hybrid, Space Jam: A New Legacy, is the No. 1 movie in North America this weekend, earning $32 million in receipts in its debut, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

(UPI) — “A Quiet Place Part II” is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning $11.7 million in receipts this weekend, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday, become the first pandemic era film to top $100 million in U.S. ticket sales.

Horror flick Spiral is the No. 1 movie in North America for a second weekend after earning an additional $4.6 million in receipts, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

Raya and the Last Dragon is the No. 1 movie in North America for a third weekend, earning an additional $5.2 million in receipts, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced on Sunday.

The animated and live-action adventure Tom & Jerry is the No. 1 movie in North America this weekend, earning $13.7 million in receipts, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

Denzel Washington’s latest crime drama, The Little Things, is the No. 1 film in theaters for a second weekend, earning an additional $2.1 million in receipts, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

The Hollywood box office took a punishing blow from the coronavirus over the weekend, with ticket revenue hitting a two-decade low of about $55.3 million. While Pixar’s Onward once again took the No. 1 domestic spot, the animated movie saw its business plummet more than 70 percent from its opening weekend.

Pixar’s “Onward” raked in a lackluster $40 million in its opening weekend, which was enough to nab the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office, while Ben Affleck’s The Way Back also flopped despite receiving critical praise for Affleck’s performance as a high school basketball coach recovering from addiction.

The fact that “Toy Story” is in its fourth chapter and over-performing its predecessors is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, all this wishcasting about breaking the $180 to $200 million mark dimmed an otherwise stellar debut.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brand familiarity isn’t everything when it comes to attracting audiences to the multiplex, and Hollywood is learning that lesson the hard way this summer with a slew of underperforming sequels and reboots. That so-called franchise fatigue came to a head this weekend with the releases of “Men in Black: International” and “Shaft.”

Rogen should look into hosting the Mid-Daily Show on Comedy Central, or something — you know, something that can still be spun as a hit even if only 13 people tune in.

We are nearly four month into the year and there have only been two  breakout hits: Captain Marvel and the horror film Us. Thus far, 2019’s box office has been a five-alarm disaster.

There is also no question that a whole host of titles, product that looked sure-fire on paper, have already under-performed.

Director Damien Chazelle’s “First Man” has officially flopped, and not just here at home, but all over the world.

Despite reams of favorable press coverage, director Spike Lee’s ‘BlacKkKlansman’ debuted in fifth place well behind the whacky prehistoric shark action flick ‘The Meg.’

With no serious competition opening at the box office, Solo has officially collapsed with a catastrophic -68 percent drop in its second weekend. After grossing a measly (we are talking about a Star Wars movie here) $82 million in its debut weekend, Solo bottomed out in week two with just $28 million.

Disney murdered the Muppets with left-wing politics, and now the studio is allowing Kathleen Kennedy to kill Star Wars — a franchise that was once so bullet-proof and buried in audience goodwill, it survived the Lucas prequels.

Solo is not collapsing at this weekend’s domestic and international box office over some exotic disease known as Star Wars Fatigue. Solo is crash-landing because the franchise has been infected with divisive left-wing politics that have hurt the storytelling.

Solo, the latest entry in Disney’s new woke-ified Star Wars franchise, is projected to open at just $130 million this weekend, and this is a three-day weekend with Memorial Day. The high-end projection is $150 million.

With the flopping of ‘I Feel Pretty,’ Amy Schumer’s movie career is now in serious trouble with three flops in a row. Here are six reasons why her movie tanked.
