![]() ![]() But it’s interesting to note their comparison, as both movies were unexpected outliers that were unforeseen in their success at the B.O. Of course, both movies appeal to polar opposites. In 13 days, Sound of Freedom, with $82M, will have made more than Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s lifetime domestic of $77.1M. PLFs and Imax screens are driving 42% of Dead Reckoning‘s business to date. ![]() Imagine the juiced gross on a Mission: Impossible if Harry Styles or Zendaya were part of the ensemble. Like Indy, could Mission have expanded to a younger audience? Of course, and Cruise might want to consider hiring some popular YA stars for future sequels. However, another source splashed water in my face and reminded me that the exhibition infrastructure as it is has the capacity and the power to deliver enormous box office grosses: Hello, Avengers: Endgame was a three-hour movie and holds the opening domestic box office record opening with $357.1M. I was under the impression that the movie, at a long running time of 2 hours and 43 minutes, would benefit from a 5-day launch, given that there’s fewer showtimes at cinemas, and it would propel word of mouth. The movie could have gone on Friday and saw a $78M 3-day, which would have been a record opening for the Cruise series. Why is that? The notion is that with Dead Reckoning having all the goods in great reviews and audience exits, there was no reason for it to debut on a Wednesday stateside. Let’s step back again and assess - Dead Reckoning is posting a lower 3-day and 5-day next to Dial of Destiny. However, as we said above - the word of mouth on Dead Reckoning will empower it, even with Barbie next weekend potentially posting Little Mermaid numbers ($95M+ 3-day) and adult-leaning Oppenheimer in the mix, and that buzz will carry the Cruise film through all ancillaries. Who doesn’t want to invest more on a trusted franchise sequel, especially a global star who delivered one of the highest-grossing movies of last year in Top Gun: Maverick? These movies weren’t made under normal circumstances, and Disney and Paramount both invested heavily in prime IP under the notion that they would deliver, and it’s better to perfect and avoid scaling back costs. The box office to profit measure for some of these tentpoles is still a hurdle, and will continue to be for a while. ![]() What’s clear is that the industry is still releasing over-budgeted movies that were challenged by Covid stops Dead Reckoning being one of the first movies to shut down because of the pandemic in Italy back in early 2020. Hold on again – doesn’t Dead Reckoning stand to lose as much money as Dial of Destiny? Both cost about the same. As a Mission movie, Dead Reckoning‘s start here isn’t below its franchise expectations. Dead Reckoning is bringing its finite, older-skewing fanbase. That long-awaited sequel brought out non-moviegoers, people who haven’t been to the movies in years. As we told you yesterday, the global outlook for Dead Reckoning is still around $240M As of last weekend, Indy‘s global was slightly more domestic than foreign, 51% to 49%.īut wait a second, wait a second - wasn’t Dead Reckoning suppose to open to $90M over five days? This is surely an upset, no? The reality of the situation here stateside is that there isn’t any Top Gun: Maverick halo effect. If anything, the Tom Cruise sequel has all the mojo to not only outstrip Indy domestically, but the potential to make significantly more overseas - even if China doesn’t pull in a $100M+ gross like it did on Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.Ĭruise’s previous three Mission movies generated over 70% of their global box office abroad. Said one rival studio executive source this AM, “With these reviews and PostTrak numbers, I would expect this one to leg out through summer - these are strong numbers.” The Cruise feature is still in its prime keep reading. Grosses went down between Indiana Jones movies, while grosses went up on Mission movies: Dead Reckoning could see a 5-day franchise record still, besting Mission: Im posible II’s $78.8M. We expect more from Lucasfilm, especially on a legacy finale. Deal with it, Disney: The ball was dropped quality wise on Dial of Destiny, and the sequel is suffering with critics and fans. In updated Friday night PostTrak exits, Dead Reckoning gets 5 stars and 90% from audiences ( Indy only received 4 stars and 79%), with men/women at 62% / 38% grading it 90% / 89% ( Indy‘s grades for both were 74% and 85%). However, the reviews and audiences exits on Dead Reckoning bury Dial of Destiny.
