Deadpool (2. 01. 6) - Financial Information. January 2. 4th, 2. The Oscar nominations were announced starting at 5: 1. Pacific time. Nothing is good that early in the morning. Worse still, it’s a boring year for nominations with very few surprises worth talking about, especially in the biggest categories. Leading the way was La La Land with 1. That movie is Deadpool. I’m joking of course, but it did get yet another nomination. At this point, it could earn a Best Picture Oscar nomination and I wouldn’t be surprised. The film that is dominating Awards Season is La La Land and frankly I’ve lost count of the number of nominations it has received. We appear to be settling into a predictable Awards Season. There are a lot of categories that WGA hand out awards, but only three of them are theatrical releases. The list of nominees include several major Awards Season players, like Hidden Figures, but there are also some surprises. La La Land led the way with seven nominations, but Moonlight was right behind with six and Manchester by the Sea earned five. You will be hearing those three names over and over and over again this Awards Season. It is one of the biggest hits of the year so far and earned Oscar- worthy reviews. Will my voice be added to choir of praise? Or will I be part of the dissenting minority? There are updates below with the extras. On a side note, the film is so good, I was tempted to make it the Pick of the Week for the second week in a row. However, in the end I went with Dark Passage, a classic Film Noir with a famous hook. The Blu- ray is the Pick of the Week. This is the best opening for any film this year, so Disney should be more than happy with this result. Overall, the box office pulled in $2. Granted, it is the official start of summer, so an increase like that is to be expected. More importantly, it is 8. Even if you compare this weekend to the start of summer last year, 2. Year- to- date, 2. We are usually flooded with duds from January and February. However, this year we have the biggest hit of the year so far, Deadpool, which is coming out on DVD, Blu- ray Combo Pack, and 4. K. Unless your eyesight is better than 2. Blu- ray is the Pick of the Week. It isn't the only contender for that title. Mustang (DVD or Blu- ray) and The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (Blu- ray) are also must haves. A Deadpool film with Ryan Reynolds was first proposed more than a decade ago, while this version has been in some form of production on and off since 2. Now that the film has finally been made, was the wait worth it? And is the DVD / Blu- ray worth picking up? I won't be able to answer that second question, because I only have a digital screener. This also means I have to watch the movie on my computer, which is a pain. At least I don't have to stream it. Joy is worth at least a rental. The other two are not. There are no major releases that are contenders for Pick of the Week, so that title will go to a smaller release, East Side Sushi on DVD. It has earned unanimously positive reviews, but no buzz. The last of the monster Christmas hits were released weeks ago and none of the yearly year hits have come out yet.
Ironically, the biggest release of the week is actually a Christmas film, Krampus, and its Blu- ray Combo Pack is a contender for Pick of the Week. Son of Saul won the Oscar this year for Best Foreign- Language Film, but I'm going with Phoenix instead. As expected, The Jungle Book easily won first place on the box office chart, but did so with a much, much better than anticipated result of $1. This is more than the rest of the box office earned. Barbershop: The Next Cut did well as counter- programming earning $2. On the other hand, Criminal missed the top five and barely managed to avoid the Mendoza Line. The overall box office was $1. Year- to- date, 2. I didn't think 2. I'm really getting optimistic now. This film is expected to dominate the box office this weekend and possibly next weekend as well. Barbershop: The Next Cut is also expected to do well, perhaps earning the biggest opening in the franchise, not taking into account inflation. Finally there's Criminal, which should just be happy with a spot in the top five. This weekend last year, Furious 7 led the way, but Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and Unfriended were close behind. Fortunately, it looks like The Jungle Book will earn more than those three made combined. The fact that Bv. S couldn't get first place three weekends in a row despite the lack of top- tier competition is really bad news. It's not the only film struggling at the box office, as Hardcore Henry missed the Mendoza Line during its opening. The overall box office fell 2. It was also down 2. Year- to- date, 2. That's still a good figure, one that should grow next weekend when The Jungle Book opens. The Stinger trope as used in popular culture. A name for any post-credits scene. It's often used as a type of Easter Egg for people who stick around for the.Golden Globes. Golden Globes 2017: Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Stun in Classy Silhouettes on Red Carpet. Among recent Melissa Mc. Carthy outings, that’s a little ahead of Tammy ($2. Spy! Of more immediate interest, it’s almost exactly tied with Batman v Superman at the top of the chart. On the positive side, the competition is a lot weaker than it should be. On the negative side, so are the reviews. The Boss's reviews are weaker than Tammy's are. Additionally, Hardcore Henry's reviews went from more than 8. It is playing in a lot more theaters than anticipated, so that's good news. This weekend last year, Furious 7 led the way with nearly $6. That's not much less than the top five will earn this weekend. Unfortunately, it had the worst sophomore stint decline of any major super hero movie, plummeting to just $5. God's Not Dead 2 only managed fourth place over the weekend with $7. Overall, the box office fell 4. The decline from last year was almost as big at 4. Easter holiday and Easter 2. Easter 2. 01. 5 by 1. I'm going to call that a victory. Year- to- date, 2. It only managed $1. Deadpool earned during its second Friday of its release. Granted, Bv. S still has a nearly $3. Deadpool after 8 days of release, but unless it bounces back on Saturday, that lead isn't safe. Look for between $5. Also look out for panicked Warner Bros. Extended Universe upcoming releases. Not been a fun day. Fortunately, there's only one new wide release, God's Not Dead 2, so there's not a lot to talk about. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will remain in first place, but all eyes will be on its sophomore stint drop- off. This weekend last year, Furious 7 debuted with $1. There's no chance the total box office will top that this year, so 2. Worldwide, the film made $4. That's the good news. The bad news is the film's legs. Like its domestic run, the film started out amazingly, but saw its fortunes fall as the weekend went on. China is a good example of this. The film started out as well as expected, but by the end it pulled in $5. I read that the studio was expecting close to $8. The film also dominated the chart in the U. K. At first look, that's a large number; however, its barely more than Deadpoolopened with earlier this year. The film also cracked $1. Mexico ($1. 2. 4. Brazil ($1. 0. 6. Australia ($9. 5. However, this is lower than anticipated and lower than Saturday's calculation or Sunday's estimates. This is 9. 2% higher than last weekend and 6. This kind of year- over- year growth usually only happens when there's a misalignment in holidays, which is exactly what happened this weekend. Last year, Easter didn't happen until April 5th. Year- to- date, 2. A $3. 70 million, 1. I suspect it will shrink dramatically next month. Hopefully it isn't completely gone by May. This is more than twice what Deadpool earned during its previews earlier this year and it beats the previous pre- summer record of $1. Furious 7 last year. Unfortunately, there are a couple of reasons to not be too excited. Firstly, the Fanboy effect is really strong for this film. They will rush out to see the movie regardless of the quality. Secondly, this is a terrible movie. Its Tomatometer Score is just 3. Word- of- mouth could do some real damage before the weekend is over. It has to become the biggest hit of the year. It is the first of ten upcoming films in the DC Extended Universe and it is rumored that Warner Bros. To be fair, $1. 00 million of this could be described as pre- pre- production for the rest of the DCEU. The other wide release is My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, which is a delayed sequel that I'm not sure many people are really excited to see. It likely didn't cost a lot, so it should break even sooner rather than later. This weekend last year, Home earned first place with $5. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice should earn more than that during its opening day. The film's biggest opening was in Australia, where it earned first place with $3. It also topped the charts during its opening weekend in Brazil with $2. The film's biggest market overall was China, where it remained in first place with $3. This blows past Kung Fu Panda 3's record for an animated film and it will soon become the first such film to reach the $2. However, two things happened to prevent that. Firstly, Zootopia not only opened faster, but its legs were much longer. Secondly, Allegiant failed to match even lowered expectations. This left Zootopia with an easy first place win over the weekend. However, it wasn't the only pleasant surprise, as Miracles from Heaven opened faster than expected. The overall box office slipped 3. It was also 0. 3% lower than the same weekend last year. Year- to- date, 2. Superman: Dawn of Justice opens next weekend and many think it will be the biggest box office hit of the year so far. It better be, otherwise Warner Bros. However, while it might not become the biggest hit of the year, it will certainly become the biggest hit of the weekend. It is the only real choice for the target film in this week's Box Office Prediction contest. In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This includes The Divergent Series: Allegiant, which, at the beginning of the month, was widely expected to earn first place during its debut.
