Amph The 2023 Box Office Blood Bag

The Blood Bath began in 2015...
The rain of the Bloodshower poured through 2016...
With the Bloodsplatter staining 2017...
And washed away by the Blood Ocean in 2018....
To consume the Blood World in 2019...
A world that, in 2020, found itself orbited by the dreaded Blood Moon...
...but then the Blood Moon got sick and was forced into the Blood Quarantine...
Then, the battle to save the theater industry began with the Blood Vaccine in 2021...
And its battle continued through the Blood Booster of 2022...
A resuscitation of an industry necessitating the use of the 2023 BLOOD BAG!!!

And, with the box office hopes of the industry focused on the second Avatar film, it is clear that that blood bag... is BLUE!

Meanwhile, conversation can pick-up where the 2022 thread leaves off after the New Years weekend. But wanted to get the thread up now, since I may not have time next week.

 

Unless I, too, am missing something, Ramza is playing off of the whole PlayStation controller "X button is really pronounced 'cross' not 'ex'" thing.

 

Top Gun: Maverick wasn't Disney.

Paramount could have another good success with MI: Dead Reckoning. Really smart move to drop that teaser in front of Maverick.

 

Absolutely- with weekend Actuals revising its take this past week to increase by an extra $4.0m, it passed RO domestically as far as pacing goes. Monday Actuals (the first non-weekend day of the year!) added another $21.4m (which bumps its pacing up to just under 20% over A1 again), so A2 is sitting at $446.94m domestic. It would only need 3-4 days with even the lowest daily total it's made so far, which means that is for sure happening before Friday because the daily totals are likely to be higher than that,

And as far as worldwide goes, it has definitely passed $1.5b by now. It'll just take some time for the overseas numbers to get tallied into the online totals.

 

So, A2's Tuesday was a bigger drop than I predicted (though still 30% above A1 for the same day of release), with only $10.5m- its lowest day to date. As of Tues, that puts A2 at $457.5m domestic & $482.7 over $1b total worldwide.

So, revisiting my post from yesterday in the 2022 thread on where I was right and wrong, since it really applies to 2023 now:

-So, now, A2 probably won't pass Ep1's domestic on Wed without a huge bump. It's about $3.5m away from ANH and another $14.1m from TPM. So, it definitely passed ANH Wed but will take Thurs to pass TPM. And it might pass Frozen II beyond that in the process, putting it at #19 on Domestic All-Time.

-It did pass Ultron and Frozen II worldwide All-Time and is in the #12 slot as of Tues. It is $6.1m shy of Maverick, which it definitely passed on Wed. Furious 7 might go down on Thurs, but it may not be until Fri. Avengers goes down Friday for sure, Thurs outside chance. A2 will then be sitting at #9 from Friday onwards for a bit, leaving TLK & JW1's positions under threat for next weekend.
