Creed 2 won't open on many territories until January.Well, Creed 2 isn't as good as Creed.

Ralph Breaks The Internet crossed $200m worldwide and added $33.7m from 27 active territories for an early $87.7m led by a $5.2m number one debut in the UK that trailed the February 2013 debut of the original by 16%. The global tally stands at $207m.
Creed II has reached $11.4m from 29 markets overall (including eight MGM markets) following a strong $10m second session. The UK delivered the highlight with a $3,9m number two debut that tracked 40% against the debut of its predecessor. Australia returned $2.2m for number one, some 75% ahead of the Creed debut, and UAE $932,000 for number one, more than double the original's debut. The remaining key markets open in the new year, starting with Mexico on January 1.
Venom added $13m from 53 markets to reach $631.7m internationally and $844m worldwide. The fourth session in China produced $12.2m for $262m.
Horror film The Possession Of Hannah Grace launched internationally on 17 markets and generated $4.1m. Mexico led the way on $1m, and Spain $675,000.
Robin Hood grossed $15.1m from 67 markets to reach an early $26.3m running total. The adventure opened in Russia on $2.2m in second place. South Korea and France launched on $1.6m and $1.3m, respectively. The film performed well across Latin America, grossing a combined $3.3m. Brazil and Mexico were the highest markets on $1.1m and $1m, respectively. The UK remains the top market on $2.9m after two sessions.
Rowan Atkinson action comedy vehicle Johnny English Strikes Again added $5.5m from 34 territories in play for $149m from 68 internationally, and $153.3m worldwide. China has produced $21.2m after two weekends.
It's going wide next week.Why isn't Anna getting a wider release? It's like throwing money away.
It's gonna do lower than Justice League, so if JL can be considered a disaster, so can FB2.At worst it will break even theoretically and make money at ancillary.
To pretend that it is a disaster is disingenuous at best. An outright lie at worst.
That isn't to say that WB won't be disappointed in the result and call for some restructuring in the series. Asking for a re-brand away from the FB moniker for example.
Do you research before making claims.If Justice League is a disaster then so is FB2; they're looking like they'll get someday worldwide gross, even if FB will gross lower domestically.
WB would not have given the movie a bigger budget than the first if they were expecting it to do less.Do you research before making claims.
They are called expectations. The film came in below the last film, but not massively so. WB knew going in that this kind of gross was within the reasonable realm of possibility... especially after underwhelming reviews.
Also, Justice League had a budget 100 million higher and likely a higher marketing budget.
Not the same situation at all.

It is doing better Internationally and Domestically in the markets its opened in. You're letting your opinion of the films cloud your perception of how they're doing financially. Creed 2 will probably clear 200m.Well, Creed 2 isn't as good as Creed.

Going by the standard a assumption that a film needs to make about 2.5x its production budget back in order to make a profit after marketing

Going by the standard a assumption that a film needs to make about 2.5x its production budget back in order to make a profit after marketing that means that FB needs 500 million to make a profit and JL needed 750 million.
Not the same situation at all.
They still cannot be happy pulling in $300m or so on their $200m + marketing film.Way to ignore the rest of my post. Classy
JL had a 100 million bigger budget, which means it would need to make around 250 million more than FB in order to become profitable.
NOT. THE. SAME.
Corporate Synergy at it's finestI think Spider-Verse might come out bigger than current predictions. Its got several weeks of rave reviews and a massive ad blitz coming while also building on Spider-Man mania that seems to be going hard this year.
FB2 is the BvS of the franchise.
It did not meet expectations but it didn't actually flop, either. Nevertheless, there are alarm bells ringing for people who understand what these box office numbers mean for future films.
WB needs to course correct NOW, or they will have yet another franchise people thought was "flop proof" that outright flops...
Is Rowan Atkinson stinking rich at this point? His movies always seem to do surprisingly well worldwide for what has to be a relatively cheap production and this has been going on for decades at this point.
Plus all the hype from the free screenings that they did last weekend. Everyone who has come out of that has been raving. At my screening people clapped at the end of the movie.I think Spider-Verse might come out bigger than current predictions.

Ya'll are nuts.
Film is still making money. At worst they might force some creative team changes or reduce the budget somewhat.

$460M internationally is probably too high. This weekend was $40M overseas. $2.35M of that was from China, so roughly $38M elsewhere. FB1 did $45M outside of China internationally in its third weekend, and ended up making about $146M more internationally without China after that point. With the same legs as FB1 going forward, FB2 would make another $123M outside of China (it will do less than $2M more in China).
$385M (current international total incl. China) + $125 = $510M total overseas.
That would be ~58M in China and $452M elsewhere.
However, drops overseas for FB2 have been worse than those of FB1 so far, so the $510M is probably closer to a best cast scenario.
As for domestic, same legs as FB1 going forward from this weekend would be another $29M, for a $163M total. So far legs have been worse than FB1, and with the crowded market in the second half of this month, I don't see that changing much.
Basically, $675M would be closer to a best case scenario at this point. JL money seems about right.
Looks like Aquaman presales in China have normalized. I guess that they were high because a company bought out blocks of them hoping to sell for inflated prices later.
It is still tracking more like an MCU film than a DCEU film though.
Yeah things were offset by the CVG but if you took the ratio provided on BOT and then estimated using the additional numbers after the block purchases you were getting 'above a traditional DC film' seems like that it what it will end up doing in presales.
$30m is really bad.But the point is, you're only really looking at a $30m net profit for Warner Bros. which is not what they had in mind in the slightest for this movie when they invested more than six times that. And that's assuming: no increase in participations for a significantly expanded role for Depp (and Law), a likely substantially higher promotional budget than $150m, and a quite optimistic $673m global cume.
Yeah movie is gonna clear 600 ww most likely. They may course correct a bit, but no way the scrap unless Rowling wants to.
Would be wild if The Favourite outperforms the other Oscar hopefuls. Seems like Yorgos's style should be alienating to audiences.
It's a fucking fantastic movie, although not exactly a crowd pleaser.
Olivia Coleman is a goddamned treasure. I've never seen her play a character like this before, and she kills it.
It's also a merchandising juggernaught and all the cross promotion stuff. It's gonna make money, but shows there is a problem and they need to abort the 5 movie idea

It's been over a year and I"m still flabbergasted by Jumanji competing with fucking Star Wars.
