Theater Averages: Endgame more than Doubles the Competition

May 9th, 2019

Avengers: Endgame

Avengers: Endgame remained on top spot on the theater average chart with an average of $31,614. This isn’t that far behind Captain Marvel’s $35,599 average it earned during its opening weekend. The only other member of the $10,000 club was Doubles vies, which is French for Two Vies. ... It’s been a while since I made a joke that bad and I’m not apologizing. That film earned an average of $14,927 in two theaters. More...

2019 Preview: May

May 1st, 2019

Detective Pikachu

April got off to a fast start with Shazam! opening the first weekend of the month. Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame ended the month with a record-breaking debut. Unfortunately for 2019, last April had a very similar result leaving 2019 behind 2018’s pace by over $400 million. Will May be able to turn things around? Last May, there were only two films that reached $200 million, Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Meanwhile, this May there are three such films, Detective Pikachu, Aladdin, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. There are two points we need to make. Firstly, the only reason there are more potential $200 million hits this year is because May has five Fridays this year. Secondly, this May also has a lot better depth with films like John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and Rocketman being potential $100 million hits. Even if we ignore the final weekend, May should do well enough to cut into 2018’s lead over 2019. It’s not going to be able to cut it in half, but it could do well enough to make box office analysts a little more positive about the year’s chances overall. More...
