'Jurassic World 3' ລື່ນກາຍ 800 ລ້ານໂດລາ ໃນຂະນະທີ່ 'Lightyear' ຍັງສືບຕໍ່ຕົກ

In box office news that isn’t about Minions: ການເພີ່ມຂື້ນຂອງ Gru or ປືນສູງສຸດ: Maverick, Warner Bros. Discovery’s Elvis held on over the holiday against some brutal competition. Baz Luhrmann’s $85 million rock biopic, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, earned another $19 million (-39%) over the Fri-Sun part of a likely $22.5 million Fri-Mon holiday haul. That will give Elvis a $71 million 11-day cume, positioning it for a domestic finish essentially tied with Dune (108 ລ້ານໂດລາ).

It earned another $15.7 million overseas (-28%) for a new $113.5 million global cume, which sets the film up (give or take huge breakouts in Latin America or South Korea on the week of July 15) for a global finish of around $190 million. However, considering the reviews, buzz and lack of (non-horror) biggies for grown-ups between now and ຝຶກອົບຮົມລູກປືນ on August 5, I’d expect a $200 million-plus finish, about in line with Rocketman ໃນລະດູຮ້ອນປີ 2019.

ຊື່ສຽງຂອງໂລກ Jurassic earned $15.65 million (-41%) in weekend four for a $331 million 24-day cume/$336 million 25-day domestic total. Colin Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael’s $185 million dino threequel has earned $492.7 million overseas for a new $824.5 million global cume. It might not make it to $1 billion (it’s only going to earn around $130 million in China versus $227 million and $267 million for the previous two ໂລກ Jurassic movies), but Amblin will cope with merely quintupling the budget purely from theatrical earnings.

Blumhouse's ໂທລະສັບ ດຳ earned $12.3 million (-48%) over the Fri-Sun frame and $14.6 million over the holiday. That gives Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill’s $19 million chiller $50 million domestic and $75 million global. DreamWorks’ ຄົນບໍ່ດີ has $96 million domestic and $244.5 million global on an $80 million budget. Universal has three films in the top five and (along with Focus Features’ Downton Abbey: ຍຸກໃໝ່) accounts for 83% of the total weekend box office.

ຂອງ Pixar ປີແສງສະຫວ່າງ earned $6.57 million (-64%) for a miserable $105.4 million 17-day total. That’s less than Minions 2’s $108.5 million Fri-Sun opening weekend. The $200 million flick has earned $191 million worldwide for a likely under-$240 million global finish. Once again, I’d argue that the culprit was sending the better, more interesting Pixar flicks (ຈິດວິນຍານ, Luca ແລະ ປ່ຽນເປັນສີແດງ) to Disney+ while saving the comparatively cynical (quality notwithstanding) IP exploitation/cash-grab for theaters only to watch it pull a Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Save for the MCU films, Walt Disney is the one big studio that hasn’t yet recovered. The few seemingly surefire pre-Covid hits that stumbled over the last two years were mostly (Raya ແລະມັງກອນສຸດທ້າຍ, ລ່ອງເຮືອລ່ອງປ່າ, ສະ​ເນ່ ແລະ ປີແສງສະຫວ່າງ) Disney biggies. Now, the MCU movies (Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder ແລະ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) may well total around $3 billion global. Moreover, they’ve got ຮູບແທນຕົວ: ທາງນ້ຳ ໃນເດືອນທັນວາ.

Nonetheless, it is depressing to see how the rush to goose Disney+ subscriptions has conditioned families to watch Walt Disney tentpoles on Disney+ (which we’ve known since Raya ແລະມັງກອນສຸດທ້າຍ skyrocketed once it became free on the service). We’ll see if Walt Disney Animation’s ໂລກແປກ can turn the ship around over Thanksgiving weekend. If not, as Minions 2 aims for $1 billion global, it’ll be hard not to argue that the commercial struggles with Disney animated films aren’t entirely about Disney.
