Could all the MTV Movie Award wins for Black Panther help push it over $700M this week?

It only made about $12K yesterday, so left to its own devices, I don't think it would, even though it's only about $400K short. But if Disney decides they want it to hit $700M, it will, since we've seen they have the power to get A Wrinkle in Time a couple million in a weekend after it's home video release (it officially crossed $100M yesterday). A few double features here and there and Black Panther is at $700M.

What would really be impressive is if they somehow get Avengers to $700M domestic. It's at basically $665M right now.

I wouldn't think they're below having people buy a bunch of tickets on corporate cards just to reach the number.

Incredibles 2 made $27m on Tuesday, the 4th biggest non-opening Tuesday to date, behind #1. The Force Awakens, #2. The Force Awakens and #3. The Last Jedi.

(6th if you count openings as well, #2. Amazing Spider-man and #4. Transformers, both on July 3rd)

Granted the kids are out of school now which helps with the numbers but yes, this great film is just making money hand over fist.

I know it's made more than BP globally, but who would have thought a year ago that BP would outgross Avengers: IW? It'll likely be the top domestic grossing movie of the year too.

So Deadline has updated their box office article and Incredibles 2 is looking at low 80s for the second weekend (still a boffo second weekend) and JW: FK does indeed look like it will make $135 million...even if this number is off by 5-15 million I do not see it going past $155-60 million.

I wonder if Universal should have waited to release next weekend because it seems that the studios left it wide open before the floodgates open starting on June 29.

somehow, i don't believe that budget # for Fallen Kingdom. 5/10 in top ten $150 or more. that is pretty amazing...

Some places have its production budget listed as high as $185m, but it's about inline with Jurassic World's $150m with some higher pay checks for talent.

just figured with effects driven movie as this is would be much higher...

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is currently at $715m worldwide. Deadpool 2 is now the 3rd highest grossing R rated movie (Worldwide, behind #1. Deadpool and #2. The Matrix Reloaded).

Didn’t think DP2 had it in it. Glad I was wrong. Liked this one more than 1st and I loved 1st. Can’t wait for another with this cast...

Looks like The Incredibles 2 will be at least $450M and could get close to 500M by the end of its run domestically

Monday Numbers:

Jurassic World:FK - $14.725m
Incredibles 2 - $10.4m

Incredibles 2 is haping up to have some killer legs with the kids out of school. Jurassic World had an "OK" first monday for a $148m opening.

Also worth noting, Solo has crossed $200m domestic.

Incredibles 2 should be knocking at $450m by mid next week.

It's currently #17 on the all time domestic list. Just a little over $90 million more and it can crack the top 10 list.

Less than $184K to go for the Black Panther. It's only in 80 theaters now. Wonder if it will hit the number. I suppose they could bring it back for a limited weekend in 3D if they wanted to get that last boost.

I really thought Ant-Man and the Wasp would exceed expectations, instead it was a little bit lower then the high estimate which is surprising to me. Especially since most I know seemed to really enjoy it.

I do remember some thinking it could get $90M+, probably based on the glowing reviews. Although disappointing, especially if you play the HSX market , it's still something like a 40-45% increase in OW over the first and not bad for a C-list superhero.

Also noticed Sicario 2 took quite the tumble.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? beat Deadpool 2 in the box office this weekend! Go Mr. Rogers!

I2 beat Dory for highest grossing Pixar, i think i heard...

It did and will in a week or so even when adjusted for ticket inflation (Finding Nemo - $516M, Finding Dory - $514M). Could be short-lived, though, with Toy Story 4 opening next year.
