Pretty good for a spin-off and that stars aren't the box office draw they once were (which is why the first one adjusts to something like $62M OW, have to think it'd be in the $40M range today IMO.

I think Deadpool 2 pulls ahead of Solo this weekend.

It'll be close.

Solo will be lucky to make it to $200 million at this rate with Incredibles 2 out next week, than Jurassic World 2 after that.

It probably will, though it sure will be losing a lot of screens by the time Jurassic World opens. I think it'll sneak past $200M.

Damn, Action Point is bombing hard.

I didn't know anything about it until it came out. Was it supposed to be a big summer release for Paramount?

Not really, it's just bombing hard. Considering what the Jackass franchise used to pull, it's interesting to see where it kind of lands now - even very far removed. But it was a weird premise that looked oddly executed with a lead that I more or less feel sorry for now.

And for those playing the "Disney will do anything to get xxx above $xxx" game:

<<Last Weekend <Last Year	View Index: By Year | By Weekend
TW LW Title (click to view) Studio Weekend Gross % Change Theater Count / Change Average Total Gross Budget* Week # 25 19 Black Panther BV $138,693 -43.8% 186 -98 $746 $699,389,760 - 17 30 29 A Wrinkle in Time BV $101,661 -22.6% 157 -30 $648 $98,141,968 - 14

Ready Player One is at $580m Worldwide, Solo is at $313m WW.

Infinity War, on the other hand, is about to step over the $2 billion mark world wide.

And...done, Deadline reports that it is now only the 4th film to have crossed this threshold. It is still up for debate if it will beat Black Panther's domestic gross (which is less than $600,000 from hitting $700 million) but wow...it is basically James Cameron films, Star Wars, and Marvel Universe films that are only part of this elite club.

BP is going to be down into the thousands any day now. They should just pull it and rerelease for a few days before BP2.

Yeah too bad. It was so close to 700 million. I know it doesn't matter but I like round numbers. They should just wait until it hits $699,500,000 so they can round it up to 700 million.

Only $699 million? Failure.

Incredibles 2 appears to be headed for an opening above $174m:

https://deadline.com/2018/06/incredi...ce-1202411262/

#1. The Incredibles 2 - $174m
#2. Ocean's 8 - $21.6m (-48%)
#3. Tag - $14m
#4/5 - Solo (-41%, $192m)/Deadpool 2 (-35%, $295m) - $9.2m
#6 - Superfly - $7m

In terms of opening weekends, Disney is responsible for 9 of the top 10. #4 - Jurassic World ($208.8m) is the only exception.

Obviously this is Disney’s biggest year ever at the BO. The year is only half over and they are creeping towards 2 billion domestic. They still have 5 major releases left in the year.

And no sign of slowing down next year either. Just a matter of time where that figure is the norm annually.

So would you look at this--after weeks of major drops and the DVD release, all of the sudden A Wrinkle in Time moved up to the #9 position for Friday, earning a solid $750,000 on Friday. If that holds, it will easily clear $100 million by Sunday. (It actually had a healthy jump on Thursday compared to the previous days, but only up to $45,000 or so.)

I'm guessing it was added as a double feature with Incredibles 2 in select markets and drive-ins, proving there are still tricks to be played.

It has cleared $699,512,354 now, so round it up!

https://www.google.com/search?q=a+wr...hrome&ie=UTF-8

Paired up with Infinity War, Incredibles 2 and/or Black Panther in certain markets.

Nice googling! Forbes even had an article pop up suggesting that Disney pair up Wrinkle and Panther--glad to see some of us aren't the only ones interested in such a pointless thing:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottme.../#977244a77c6e

Also, Wrinkle is apparently paired up with Hurricane Heist as well. Weird!

Woot!

The $700 million dollar box office smash from the same studio that brought you Thor the Dark World. Bring it home on Blu-Ray today!

Also PLEASE give Solo a chance.

-The Mouse

So it looks like Incredibles 2 came in with $180 million shattering Finding Dory's previous record of $135 million.

I have to hand it to Disney. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not but they sure timed this sequel perfectly. I cannot for the life of me understand why they didn't make this sooner. It was really the only Pixar film that was begging for a sequel but instead they produced a bunch of sequels that no one really asked for. But the timing is just perfect with superhero hype at an all time high, paired with the fact that there hasn't been a cartoon in the theaters for families to go to for quite some time. It's like this was the antithesis of Solo.
