Theater counts: Mufasa holds on as widest release for another weekend

January 23rd, 2025

Mufasa: The Lion King

Last weekend’s box office race was tight as expected, with just over $1.1 million separating the top film from the third place finisher. Despite two new entries making their chart debuts, Mufasa: The Lion King once again found itself at the top of the heap, biting off over $12 million in its fifth weekend on the big screen and crossing the $200 million mark domestically. The film also passed the $600 million worldwide threshold on Wednesday, currently enjoying $600.99 million in global receipts. As another batch of wide releases make their way into theaters, Mufasa will once again take the crown as the widest release in the land. More...

Theater counts: Challengers seeks to oust Civil War as widest release

April 25th, 2024

Civil War

After two weeks of topping the domestic box office charts, Civil War’s reign will likely be over this weekend as a trio of newcomers make their way into North American theaters. The dystopian action-thriller has taken in just over $48 million in its first 13 days, and should equal its $50 million budget by the end of the weekend. This week sees the release of Zendaya’s Challengers, which looks to have the best shot of becoming the latest box office champ. We once again don’t have an official count for Civil War but we expect it to be a tight race for the widest release this week. More...

2020 Preview: January

January 1st, 2020

Bad Boys for Life

It’s the year 2020, the year where we find out how many times you can say, “Well, hindsight is 20/20.” before you get punched. On the positive side, while December wasn’t a great month, it was good enough to help 2019 end on a positive note, a positive note that should continue into January. There are no real potential monster hits coming out this month, but there are three films that have a real shot at $100 million domestically. These are, in alphabetical order, 1917, which will rely on Awards Season to get to the century mark. Bad Boys for Life will have a much, much easier time getting to $100 million, assuming people still care about the franchise 17 years later. Finally, Dolittle is looking like a disaster with a really troubled production; however, a $100 million run isn’t out of the question and if it can get there, it will at least save face. As for last January, Glass was the biggest hit of the month in terms of raw dollars, but The Upside was more impressive, as it is one the biggest hits in STX Entertainment’s history. We need two of the three potential $100 million hits to reach that mark to keep pace with last year, but we also have one more weekend to get there. More...
