UK/US Box Office March 15th- 17th week 11

 

 

1. Captain Marvel  –  £6,643,217 –  £23,657,527

Dropped 47.9% in its second weekend; fifth biggest second weekend MCU after Avenger Infinity War, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers Assemble and Black Panther.

Had fourth lowest second weekend drops for MCU after Ant-Man, The incredible Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy due to not having previews.

Captain Marvel dropped more than Wonder Woman dropping 45% (40% without); after her disappointing opening of £6,179,616 (including £1,219,884 previews) which was affected by several non-film related issues including weather, cooler temperatures saw it take £3,480,956 in its second weekend. Captain Marvel has already overtaken Wonder Woman’s total box office of £22,086,045.

Took £17,014,310 in its first 7 days 8^th biggest 7-day MCU (hard to make direct comparisons as most had extended openings)

Has become the biggest film of 2019

Captain Marvel is holding similar to 2013’s Iron Man 3 which took £6,307,191 in its second weekend and £24,568,956 going on to take £36,858,807; after 10 days on release most MCU films have taken about 65% of their final box office.

Over 10 days on release has become 12^th biggest MCU in the UK overtaking Doctor Strange, Iron Man 2, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and The incredible Hulk; will likely end up being the sixth biggest MCU between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and Iron Man 3.

33^rd biggest second weekend between The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the 69^th biggest inflated second weekend between Borat and The World Is Not Enough (close to Mission: Impossible, War of the Worlds, The Matrix Reloaded and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2).

After 10 days on release Captain Marvel is the 172^nd biggest film in the UK between Borat and Logan and Disney’s 36^th biggest between Ratatouille and Wreck-It Ralph and 52^nd biggest inflation inflated between Cars and Bolt.

25^th biggest comic-book film in the UK between Hancock and Logan and 38^th biggest inflation inflated between Iron Man and Logan.

The 21 Marvel Cinematic Universe films have taken almost £616m over the last 11 years (£650m inflation inflated).

Last Thursday Marvel released the second trailer for Avengers: Endgame featuring a small scene with Captain Marvel at the end. The trailer was viewed over 268m times within 24 hours the second most watched trailer ever in its first 24 hours. Avengers: Endgame first trailer was seen 289m times in its first 24 hours last year and the previous record holder was Avengers: Infinity War, with 230m views.

Wakanda Forever was trending om Twitter on Thursday night after Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored for Arsenal in the Europa League and put on his famous Black Panther mask on to celebrate.

This weekend Jordan Peele’s Us opens it is expected to open #1 in the US, but Captain Marvel could hold top as Get Out didn’t perform as strongly in the UK.

2. Fisherman’s Friends – £1,154,864 – NE

Over a quiet weekend of new releases Fisherman’s Friends had a strong opening with Entertainment Film Distributors pushing the British feel-good comedy heavily and opening it wide as they have done many times before from The inbetweeners films to Sex Lives of the Potato Men (celebrating its 15^th anniversary last month has been called one of the worst British films of all time.

The film has been compared to feelgood British films including The Full Monty and Calendar Girls as  so have many similar films over recent years, but it’s very hard to open a film like this anymore

Sunshine on Leith opened in October 2013 with £770,239 taking £4,499,183

Finding Your Feet opened February 2018 with £923,220 taking £5,436,523

Swimming with Men opened July 2018 with £59,301 taking £322,555

With trailers playing before Fighting With My Family and all the doom and gloom Brexit news Fisherman’s Friends is the perfect tonic for cinemagoers.

Its 25 years ago in May since Four Weddings and a Funeral opened with £1,432,424 taking £27,369,755 (£60,802,963 inflation inflated) three years later The Full Monty opened with £1,600,000 taking £52,232,058 (£92,657,361 inflation inflated)

Over the years since there have many more feel-good British films from Billy Elliot to Calendar Girls that have had similar success all opening with similar box office (about a third more than Fisherman’s Friends. With ticket inflation over 50% since these films opened it does show have these films have been squeezed at the box office, and these films that would previously had long legs don’t last as long.

Always surprises me when a distributor choosing to open a film like Fisherman’s Friends in 500 screens as often a distributor would open a film limited wide and then expand further the following weekend. The only problem with this is if the film fails to connect with its audience in its first week its unlikely it will expand further.

eOne opened The Death of Stalin in October 2017 in 138 screens taking £995,458 adding 176 screens in its second weekend taking £812,288 down 18%; added 62 screens in its third weekend taking £520,275 total of £5,037,835.

With Us opening this weekend and then Easter films opening from the following week it gave Entertainment Films little options it was either go big or risk not going as wide as they wanted.

3. What Men Want –  £836,612  –   NE  

Over a quiet weekend of new releases What Men Want opened nigger than might have expected for a film like this but is unlikely to last long in the top 10.

Opened in the US last month with mixed reviews opening with $19m and has taken $55m to date.

What Women Want opened in February 2001 with £3,375,075 (£5,886,000 inflation inflated) taking £17,091,251 (£29,806,481 inflation inflated).

What Men Want is unlikely to last for long in the charts.

4. The Lego Movie: The Second Part –  £643,623  –   £17,522,377

Down 21.1% in its sixth weekend; taken 56.2% of The Lego Movie and 65.8% of The Lego Batman Movie box office after five weeks on release and 187% more than The Lego Ninjago Movie.

Many blamed The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part box office performance due to franchise fatigue and using similar marketing tactics as the previous films, but that is often the case with a sequel having many similarities with the previous film and marketing being the same.

Only need to look at Star Wars: The Force Awakens which was as most now admit a remake of A New Hope, its marketing was similar to previous Star Wars films (as Disney have also repeated for the three films that followed) but still took over $2bn worldwide.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is holding strongly took more than The Lego Batman Movie in its sixth weekend, the problem was it opened a week after How to Train Your Dragon 3 which saw both films cannibalize each other’s box office as both will come short to expectations.

Had Warner Bros held the film back a week would have still opened for half-term but would have given a two-week gap as both films didn’t have the normal weekend before previews children’s films normally have.

With half-term only one-week children’s have a small window for success as Easter is 8 weeks away and both films would be played out by then, February half-term is very lucrative for family films with cooler temperatures children have less options available to them for outdoor activities so will often go to the cinema. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and How to Train Your Dragon 3 both performed strongly during half term holidays this year.

October will see similar family film cannibalization with three films opening over three weeks before half-term holidays Angry Bird 2, Abominable and Shaun The Sheep 2. The two sequels both targetting a younger audience while many people will probably think Abominable is also a sequel opening a year after similarly themed Smallfoot and also Missing Link opening in April.

46^th biggest Warner Bros film in the UK between The Matrix Revolutions and Justice League and 63rd biggest inflation inflated between Pokemon: The First Movie and Miss Congeniality (close to Interview with the Vampire, Miss Congeniality and Mad Max: Fury Road)

621^st biggest animated film after five weeks between Tarzan and Ralph Breaks The Internet (which does highlight how both underwhelmed) and 77^th biggest inflation inflated between Pokemon: The First Movie and Ralph Breaks The Internet

Sixth weekends   

2014’ s The Lego Movie #3 £815,020 down 18% and £31,128,785 of £32,887,286

2017’s The Lego Batman Movie #5 £515,771 down 37% and £26,602,135 of £26,771,191

2017’s The Lego Ninjago Movie #15 £60,365 down 69% and £9,378,170

After The Lego Movie: The Second Part has taken less than half of The Lego Movie worldwide box office $469.2m and half of The Lego Batman Movie $312m will Warner Bros continue the Lego universe, there were rumours of The Lego Batman Movie 2 among other Lego spinoffs.

5. Fighting With My Family –  £632,598 –   £4,640,128

Down 38.3% in its third weekend;  

Holding less than Eddie the Eagle (#5) in its third weekend which took £794,616 down 37% and £7,277,594 (£8,613,352 total) but faced far less tough competition in its third weekend with The Jungle Book #1 opening with £9,901,921.

It’s the second film Stephen Merchant has starred with Dwayne Johnson; Tooth Fairy opened May 2010 dropped 32% in its third weekend taking £367,396 and £3,053,104 taking £3,866,018 (in the top 15 for 11 weeks).

After positive reviews, strong word of mouth and limited competition would have hoped Fighting With My Family would have held stronger.

Box Office News

February admissions were 12.2m the lowest for over 17 years; 3.9m less than 2018; 4.2m less than 2017; 3.1m less than 2016; 3m less than 2015 and almost 7m less than 2002.

After a disappointing end of 2018 with Mary Poppins Returns being half the fil many expected it to be 2019 has started very softly even Captain Marvel strong opening and hold won’t likely save March. This week was over 25% down from last year (Peter Rabbit opened) and almost 60% less than 2017 (Beauty and the Beast) its unlikely either Us or Dumbo will be enough to boost March box office to last years levels.

Film News

Wonder Park doesn’t have a director credit after its director Dylan Brown was fired from the project after multiple complaints of “inappropriate and unwanted behavior.”

Normally when a film has no director or has been removed Alan Smithee is credited as director, but it was discontinued in 2000 maybe due to the 1997’s An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn.

UK Box Office Predictions

Jordan Peele’s follow-up to 2017’s Get Out is expected to top the chart in the US but Get Out wasn’t as big a hit in the UK as the US.

Many use the 10% of US box office as a guide to a films UK box office which was the case with Captain Marvel’s second weekend but while Get Out opened with $33.37m in February 2017 (taking $176.04m) in the US opened three weeks later in the UK with £2,160,099 taking £10,053,463

Opening with only 6.5% of its US BO and taking 5.7%; this was similar to A Quirt place last year opening with $50.2m in the US and £2.69m in the UK 5.3% of opening and taking $187.51m and £11.8m 6.3% of total.

While The Nun also released last year opened with £4.09m 7.6% of US $53.8m but held surprisingly well taking £11.4m 9.7% of its US total of $117.3m despite poor reviews. Us has received critical acclaim currently with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.

The Nun opening was inflated with £663,520 previews without took £3,434,678.

Normally in the third weekend for an MCU film its drop-off settles down from 50%+ due to previews in its second to mid-40s due to strong word of mouth could see a close battle for #1 between Captain Marvel and Us with Captain Marvel taking £3.6m+ in its third weekend and Us opening with £3m+.

Opening in UK Next Week

• Dumbo – Disney

Fantasy adventure starring Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, and Alan Arkin and directed by Tim Burton

The eighth Disney live-action reimagination of a Disney animated classic film since 2010 made Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent (reimagination of Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast and Christopher Robin (Winnie the Pooh) they previous remade 101 Dalmatians in 1996.

In May release Aladdin, in July The Lion King and in October Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Mulan in 2020 with Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch and Cruella all in development.

Dumbo was strangely dated on March 29^th known to many for the last two years as Brexit Day… were Disney making a statement when they dated Dumbo on this date or was it just a strange coincidence.

The nine Disney reimaginations have taken over £250m at the UK box office since 2010

• The Highwaymen – Curzon/Netflix

Crime drama starring Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson and Kathy Bates and directed by John Lee Hancock.

Started developed in 2005 at Universal Pictures by writer John Fusco who originally had Paul Newman and Robert Redford in mind for the leads. In 2017 Netflix acquired the film from Universal Pictures Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner were signed for the leads.

Had its world premiere at South by Southwest receiving mixed reviews; released on Netflix and selected cinemas from March 29^th.

• Dumbo– Disney

Two weeks ago Dumbo was tracking to open anywhere between $28m-58m

Social media reaction has been mixed with many saying it looks incredible but…  embargo ends March 26^th.

Tim Burton’s last film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children opened in September 2016 with $28.87m taking $87.24m; his previous two films Big Eyes and Frankenweenie underwhelmed at the box office.

His 2010 Alice in Wonderland reimagination started Disney’s current plan to remake their classic animated films into live-action films; opened in Marc 2010 with $116.1m taking $334.19m.

The 9 Disney reimaginations have taken $2.18bn in the US and $5.76bn worldwide over the last 9 years; in May Disney release Aladdin reimagination starring Will Smith directed by Guy Ritchie in May (trailers have received mixed reaction on social media as Jumanji how can Will Smith possibly replace Robin William’s iconic role of the genie) and The Lion King in July, which has confused many as it’s a live-action reimagination but the film looks like its animation

Many have also taken issue with the trailers as they look like they are scene by scene remakes of the animated classics, but as seen previously cinemagoers strangely accept it from Disney give them a remake of a film they have seen before as they did with Star Wars: The Force Awakens and also with Mary Poppins  Returns.

Many believe The Lion King will be one of the biggest films ever; the live-action reimagination opens 25 years after the animated film took $968.5m worldwide (#40 biggest film in the worldwide but in 1994 it was the second biggest film ever in the worldwide after Jurassic Park) $422.8m in the US and $545.7m internationally; its 2019 worldwide inflated box office would be over $2bn.
