/r/boxoffice
A place to talk about the box office and the movie business, both domestically and internationally.
Posts with the latest box office numbers, analysis, or speculation are encouraged. Movie business news is also allowed, such as a potential merger or quarterly financial results. Memes and humor posts are also not allowed. For such content, please use r/boxofficecirclejerk.
News about a film that can be a jumping-off point for box office predictions is also allowed. This means trailers, a megathread for critic's reviews, release date announcements, etc. Make sure the film in question is getting a theatrical release, and that the studio reports box office numbers.
All posts need a region flair. These flairs let people know what region your box office information is about. If the region does not have a specific flair, use the "International" flair and mention the region's name in the post title. If a post doesn’t have any particular region associated with it, use "Other".
Be respectful to others. There's no reason to be disrespectful to others, especially since in the end we're just talking about movies here. Flaming and trolling are not allowed. If you disagree with someone about something, you can explain to them why your opinion is different instead of calling them a nasty name. Tagging users to argue about their opinions is also not allowed.
We prefer original and high-quality sources. The sources in the Box Office Resources section are generally reputable. Websites on this list often post clickbait or rumors, so posts from those domains require manual approval from the moderators. You can get this approval by sending a message to the moderators with the post's URL. The moderators reserve the right to remove posts from other sources if they seem to be of dubious accuracy.
No duplicate content. Unless the additional source offers new information, there should only be one post per a piece of new news. For questions and discussion topics, at minimum make sure nobody asked the same thing in the past day. The moderators reserve the right to remove other posts as well if they are too repetitive of past threads.
Post titles should reflect the post's content. No misleading, clickbait-style, or unnecessarily opinionated titles. Feel free to make a post's title different from the title of its source, as long as that new title accurately represents what is in the post.
Tag spoilers for films that are less than a month old. If a movie was released in the domestic market less than a month ago, tag all spoilers. Check out this page to see how to make a spoiler tag.
No low effort posts. Low effort text/poll posts featuring little or no analysis in the body of the text will be removed. This includes but not limited to: "What are your predictions for [insert movie]?" "Which movie will make more, [insert movie] or [insert movie]?" "Which movie will open higher on [insert weekend]?" Posts with only a poster (exceptions for Throwback Tuesday). We like for people to throw in a bit more effort in their posts including data, suggestions, analysis, etc.
no self promotion Don't post a link to promote your website, blog or YouTube channel/videos
"Let's reminisce about a movie" posts are only allowed on Tuesday. They should have a "Throwback Tuesday" flair. This includes films released "on this date" in a previous year. Please do not spam Throwback Tuesday movies. Post 1 or 2 at most. Any more may be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Throwback posts MUST be anniversaries, in these intervals: 1/5/10/15/20/25/etc.
Don't post links to illegal streaming websites/pirated versions of films. We don't want to promote piracy nor illegal streaming. Any violation of this rule will result in a ban for the user.
Posts about daily box office updates should be for movies with a certain threshold gross. Posts about daily box office updates will be allowed if the movie at hand is grossing at least ~$500K daily at the box office. Posts about daily box office updates for movies grossing below ~$500K will be allowed up to ~2 weeks of the movie's release date in the domestic market. Exceptions will be made for certain milestones (e.g. passing $100M).
Stay on topic. This is a subreddit about numbers, not necessarily about the quality (or lack thereof) of a particular movie. Please remain on-topic and keep opinions/arguments/thoughts about unrelated aspects of the film off of these threads. Any comments that engage in culture war arguments/slapfights (race/gender/sex/"wokeness"/etc) will be removed and should be presumed to result in a ban. If your comment can be read as a dog whistle for decreased diversity/representation it will result in a ban.
Usage of Automated Tools for posts and comments is prohibited. Usage of such tools like optimizing post times and schedules, automatically generating comments, etc. are not allowed and will result in a ban. We like to give every user here a fair share and a chance to create the discussions they like.

January:
January for now remains baren. It will be an incredibly backloaded month with Spring Festival starting on the 29th. So far 5 movies have been officialy confirmed for it. Creation Of The Gods P2. A sequel to a very well received movie from last year that made $360M. With the prime date and coming off good reception i have little doubt P2 will increase from the 1st movie.
The Next Boonie Bears movie. China's prime animation franchise which has been a Spring Festival mainstay for a decade now with next year being the 11th consecutive year a Boonie Bears movie releases for Spring Festival. The franchise has seen a steady increase in box office with last years movie hitting a franchise peak $280M+
The Legend of the Condor Heroes. A longtime anticipated Marshal arts movie has also been confirmed for a release.
In a surprising twist Ne Zha 2 the follow up to Nezha from 2019 which to this day remains the biggest animation of all time in a single market with $730M+ has been announced to also be releasing during the Spring Festival.
And Detective Chinatown 1900 which has wraped filming this year. The Sequel or better said Prequel will try to wash away the incredibly bad reception of DC3. A movie which opened to a record breaking $399M across 3 days beating out End Game's US opening. But only grossed $680M+.
That leaves us with 1 movie left to announced. Operation Leviathan. A followup to 2018's massive success Operation Red Sea which grossed $579M.
Its shaping up to be the strongest Spring Festival lineup of all time.

- Mufasa: The Lion King is tracking to open -43% lower than 2019´s The Lion King, which sold a Final Total of 5,660,105 tickets & €51,661,530.
This is better than Alice Through the Looking Glass, which had a Opening Weekend of 199376, a -63.3% drop from 2010´s Alice in Wonderland. However, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil only dropped -18.4% from Maleficent.
Mufasa is also tracking to open -46.6% lower than 1994´s The Lion King, which went on to sell a gigantic 11,899,914 tickets & €55,683,121, making it the 2nd Biggest Film of the 90s, Disney Animation´s 2nd Biggest Film of All Time and excluding Re-Releases it is not only the Biggest Disney Animation Film of All Time, but also the Biggest Animated Film of All Time.
Otherwise, the Biggest Film of All Time (out of all Films since 1956) is The Jungle Book (1967) with Ca. 27,293,363 tickets & Ca. €91,809,676. However it "only" sold a Total of Ca. 7,600,000 tickets & Ca. €16,000,000 during it´s Original Release. Which does make The Jungle Book (1967) the Biggest Film since 1956 in Germany (#1 is Titanic with almost 19 million tickets), but again it only managed to do so thanks to Re-Releases.
This Prequel Film is set to have the Lowest Opening Weekend of a Lion King Film and the 4th Biggest Opening Weekend of a Disney Live Action Remake/ Reboot.

- The German/ Austrain Comedy Threequel: "Der Spitzname" is the 3rd Film of a Trilogy and is tracking to have the Biggest Opening Weekend yet.
| Nr. | Film | Opening Weekend (Ticket Sales) | Theaters | Average | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Der Spitzname | Ca. 175,000 (including Previews) | 630 | Ca. 278 | December 19th, 2024 |
| 2 | Family Affairs (2022) | 134,624 | 515 | 261 | October 20th, 2022 |

- Moana 2 & Wicked are holding very strong, during their 4th & 2nd Weekends, against the 2 newcomers with -26.9% & -9.7% drops respectively.
Gladiator II surpassed 1 million tickets sold on wednesday, making it Ridley Scott´s 13th 1 million+ tickets Film.
The Film is now tracking below both Napoleon (2023) (73,664 tickets +79%/ 977,682 tickets) & House of Gucci (73,242 +8%/ 828,921), although those already had the holiday season boost during their 6th Weekends, so it´s not a direct comparison. With a projected Final Total of Ca. 1.15 million tickets, that would be suspiciously close to the Final Totals from Napoleon (2023) (1,190,167 tickets & €13,488,287) & House of Gucci (1,185,440 tickets & €11,819,377). It seems like Ridley Scott has a very consistent number of fans in Germany, at this point in his career.
As a comparison, the first Gladiator had a 6th Weekend of 132,402 tickets -44.3%/ 2,841,856 tickets and had a Final Total of 3,596,207 tickets, so about 3x what this Sequel is expected to have.
The 2nd Weekends for Kraven the Hunter and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim are tracking low enough that no projection was made today. More concrete projection for those two will be released tomorrow. But it won´t look pretty.
The current projection for the Weekend:
- Mufasa: The Lion King - 525,000 tickets (New)
- Moana 2 - 325,000 tickets -26.9%/ 2,810,000 tickets (4th Weekend)
- Wicked - 195,000 tickets -9.7%/ 675,000 tickets (2nd Weekend)
- Der Spitzname - 175,000 tickets (including Previews) (New)
- Niko: Beyond the Northern Lights - 45,000 tickets -24.7%/ 580,000 tickets (7th Weekend)
?. Gladiator II - 35,000 tickets -28.6%/ 1,035,000 tickets (6th Weekend)
- Of course, this is only a projection based on the Thursday (& Preview) numbers of these films, so these numbers can still change in the coming days. I have a lot to do currently, which is why my posts are still so delayed. My post about the Final Numbers from Last Weekend (Wicked/ Kraven/ LotR Opening Weekend) will be released either during the Weekend or Monday at the latest. Normally i should be able to release the Final Numbers from this Weekend next Week during my normal wednesday release, but due to christmas it´s unclear when the actual numbers will be released.

How much would Superman (2025) need to make worldwide to be considered a success for WB?
As of now the budget for Superman hasn’t been publicly disclosed but James Gunn has debunked the rumor that it went north of 360M a while back. Regardless of the budget though, a lot is riding on this film. It’s supposed to start off the DCU and Gunn has said that the entire thing will probably depend on this film doing well. I don’t expect this movie to make a billion, and I don’t think WB does either. But I think they would consider this successful if 2 things happen: 1. It grosses at least 550M worldwide and 2. It has great reception across the board. I think great reception is probably the more important thing to happen. That’s what helps build momentum for franchises to grow. For context Iron Man 1 made 585M in 2008. What do you guys think?
