The Box office report for this past weekend is here and there is a lot to discuss!!!
Starting with the biggest story AntMan and The Wasp Quantumanina suffered the biggest drop in the MCU history. It dropped a massive 69.7% drop in its second weekend earning a total of $32.2 Million at the domestic box office. It didn’t fare much better overseas either as it suffered 64.1% drop bring in just $46.4 million. It’s global total currently sits at $363.7 Million.
The big question is now what happens with Marvel. Well I think we have already seen the affects this has had on the studio. They already delayed The Marvels into November to give them more time to get that film exactly right. They also have delayed several Disney Plus shows to give them more time. For example they are now giving more time to the writers to work on Agatha Coven Of Chaos. I think having to put out so many projects has been Marvels downfall as Kevin Feige can’t be as involved as all of them. However with Bob Iger returning to the company and saying they are going to focus in quantity over quality, fingers crossed the MCU gets back on track.
Now for some more positive box office new, Elizabeth Banks was able to make a comeback with Cocaine Bear. After her Charlie’s Angels film bombed both critically and financially she needed a big win and here one is. It scored a big $23.1 Million at the domestic box office. Expect this film to perform similarly like Megan and don’t be surprised if some form of sequel gets announced as it only cost Universal $35 million to make.
Both Avatar 2 and Puss in Boots 2 are still making money at the box office as well. Avatar 2 has now reached $2.27 Billion and is expected to end its run around $2.3 Billion. Puss In Boots is also now at a strong total of $442.5 million which shows just how strong the word of mouth has been for this film, and clearly shows that there is still a high amount of interest in the Shrek franchise.
That’s the box office for this week. What did you watch and what do you think about the state of the MCU at the moment?
