The big question going around Hollywood at the moment is if superhero fatigue has set in amongst audiences, as both Altman 3 and Shazam 2 underperformed at the box office. Well Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 arrived just in time to prove everyone wrong.
In its second weekend Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 had a magnificent hold at the box office with only a 49% drop. It made a strong $60.5 for a domestic total of $213.2 million. It also had a great hold overseas as it made a massive $91.9 million and has crossed $500 million worldwide, beating Antman and The Wasp Quantumania while box office in 2 weeks.
This strong hold for Guardians shows that there isn’t a problem with superhero fatigue but in fact is plainly based on the quality of these films. Audiences will just happily skip a film and wait for streaming if the word of mouth isn’t great. Studios just need to focus on making great movies and there won’t be any more problems.
As for the rest of the box office, Super Mario Bros continue to climb the charts surpassing Minions to become the 4th biggest animation film of all time, with a global total of $1.21 Billion.
Speaking of franchisee going strong Warner Bros Discovery have hit gold with Evil Dead Rise. It was originally set to go straight to HBO Max but has now made over $131 million worldwide and only cost $19 million to produce. With these bug numbers you know for a fact they are brainstorming ways to keep this success going.
That’s it for the box office this week. What did you watch and what do you think about the idea of Superhero fatigue?
