From my prediction on this:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/fa...contest-venom-fantastic-beasts-aquaman.60909/
VENOM DOMESTIC OW: $96.0M
FANTASTIC BEASTS 2 DOMESTIC OW: $55.0M
AQUAMAN DOMESTIC OW: $43.0M
Overestimated Venom, Underestimated Fantastic Beasts, different from what others probably thought that would play out though.
Only $1 million off. All comes down to Aquaman for you.

Is Venom 2 already confirmed? If not, it's probably gonna happen any day now. Who saw this massive success coming lol
They were planning that many? Damn I figured a trilogy would be stretching things out.
Sony lucked the hell out with Venom. I don't think that anyone there really had an idea of how big of a hit it would be.
Widows is off to an okay start. I'm not sure how well it might hold in the coming weeks but it seems like a solid film that deserves to make back its production budget. Will give it a watch tonight if I can.

I'm pretty sure they've said they were aiming for 7 which was fucking nuts from the start.

My game was shot after Venom, which I thought would be huge based on trailer metrics. It was huge. Just not in the right country.
This thread is like the perfect testing ground to see who actually reads OPs and articles and who just reads the thread title (though I have to admit the thread title IS pretty misleading)
Because Fantastic Beasts 2 was actually more successful than the first movie worldwide. 250 Million compared to 220 Million with the first. So while they did open lower by 13 million in the states, they actually opened 43 million dollar higher internationally. Those 3 Fantastic Beasts movies left are going nowhere.

37.5M of that difference was China, which opened in Fantastic Beasts 1's second weekend, and which will end up being down considerably from the first film's total gross.
Really don't know why she couldn't have made this series just about Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Wizard WW2 in the first place. Or just have FB be a lighthearted adventure about Newt traveling around the wizarding world discovering and befriending magical creatures. When you try to put those 2 concepts together it doesn't mix well at all.

Well that's a shame then because as a huge Harry Potter fan I hate to see the franchise putting out crap like this. The Cursed Child should have been everyone's warning that Rowling has completely lost the plot.
Halloween debuted $14 million higher than a Harry Potter spin-off with bigger stars?!
Damn. Congrats!
Damn. Congrats!

I'd bet money that we don't see a fifth film in this particular series. This one will be down at least $100M, if not more, and much of that will be from the domestic take, which is most profitable. The budgets are not exactly low either.
That comparison is misleading because FB1's global opening doesn't include China yet, and movies don't stop making money after a week. If it has poor legs internationally, along with the huge underperformance in the US and China, it's assuredly going to decrease quite a bit from the first movie
A 5-film plan is very much up in the air depending on how much this one declines
Not really
They are building up to a fight that happens 20 years after the end of this movie.
So Fantastic Beasts 2 is a bit lower in the US but it's hardly doomed yet, it's still making plenty of cash worldwide. Will have to see how it's doing in a few weeks to see how big the drop off is.
No, but it could go as high as 900M. In China It will significantly outperform Infinity War in the coming week.
Global total without China is currently 570.5, with China it is 780.5M. Excluding China, Venom will be likely to get to 585 lifetime (factoring in thanksgiving), boosting the total take to 799.5M, maybe slightly less by a couple M. China currently sits at 207M. My model shows that China is locked for 280M; almost certain to go above that, which will be confirmed in week 4 but currently sits just over 70% likelihood. Venom hitting 280M would add 73M to the final total, hitting around 872.5M at the low end.
So from the guy who wrote 50 0000 words on this site why BP would cross 700M like a week and a half into its domestic run and backed it up with a shit tone of math. Homecoming is falling, Spider-Man 3 (890M) is in relative danger, 900M is 'possible'.

I think that A Star is Born will do well with nominations and that's a genuine hit. Otherwise, I do agree that they'll be sticking to their wheelhouse, unless Disney resorts to some of the tactics studios pulled back before the New Hollywood era emerged with the super-expensive kiss-ass luncheons.
So it's a possibility that Venom will make more money then any Spider-Man movie ever - that is insane!
If Sony announced a Demogoblin movie you would preorder tickets that day
I'm not at all burnt out on the franchise. It's just that they're coming off by far the worst movie yet.
Well deserved, movie is a great watch specially that Live Aid scene.
Yes. I don't see it hitting a $20+ million opening weekend. If it doesn't do well overseas then it might not even turn a profit.
btw, in case anyone was wondering why Venom is doing so well in China. I figured it out for you*
Sure the US has Eminem going "Venumumumn" but China opted for something infinitely better. An idol girl group going "balabalahong".
*this may not in fact be why Venom did well, no refunds offered if this deep analysis didn't satisfy your demands. And also let's face it, the real reason is the road safety advert (which I can't find video of but enjoy this composite image. If I understand it right they show the motorcycle crash and then Venom comes in and admonishes the audience):

Asian countries are the only one that respect the blockbuster banger anymore. Even Fantastic Four got a theme song in Korea
Venom is going to outgross every DCEU film bar two (and its gonna be nipping right at the heels of WW).
Stop this timeline, I want to get off...
