I work in a movie theater, and we had an empty theater for all the showings of Borderlands on Sunday, and 8 people watched overall for both Friday and Saturday's screenings.
Considering Romulus was supposed to go straight to streaming, a $41 million domestic opening & $100 million+ worldwide opening against an $80 million budget is a pretty good result all things considered. Personally if I’m Disney I’d be taking that as a win… Also, lol Borderlands, Eli Roth ain’t ever getting another big budget movie again
@@MichealWilson92 Thanksgiving in fairness was a much, much smaller movie that made a profit coz horror movies are relatively cheap to make, but I mean interns of $100 million+ budget blockbusters
@aidanmchutchison567, we will see. I had thought that numerous times of multiple directors. If M. Night can still get big budgets after The Happening and After Earth, Eli Roth probably will, too. Shaymalan had a couple ok movies, and that was enough for studios to put their faith in him again.
@@mathsalot8099 "If M. Night can still get big budgets" Except he can't. After Earth was his last big budget film. Since then his films have all been self-financed.
My family went to see "Coraline" this past weekend. We had planned to see it in 3D, but it was practically like Barbenheimer in trying to find a theatre with three seats together. We wound up seeing it in standard format. I never expected that for a 15-year-old movie.
@@RedXDC I don’t think that’s the issue, Dan has made it separate before but the content is the same, it’s not really his fault, it’s just how the industry works yk
I wonder what the record for most theaters lost in a weekend is? Cause it feels like if that is something that can be found out, it would make a VERY interesting chart for Borderlands next week. Also, Longlegs lost 665 theaters? So close!
Hey Dan, as a British viewer, just want to say I really appreciate the new change of release time. It makes a big difference to get my box office video on a Monday evening than a Tuesday morning, feels very cosy!
At this point, was the boxoffice really weak this year week? Or rather, was everything just pushed later into year because of the actor/writers strike? Because the boxoffice is kicking butt right now. It seems the audience will come if there are movies they like.
Yes. Last year in 2023 all the big releases came out before August and we didn't get a big hit after August besides Five Night at Freddy's and Wonka. This year we'll have Joker 2, Venom 3 (yes venom makes great money like it or not), Beetlejuice 2, Gladiator 2, Wicked, Sonic 3, Mufasa, and Moana 2.
25:15 We know it, and it's exactly why we love what you do Dan! I actually saw Yu-Gi-Oh!: Pyramid of Light in theaters, we even got a special Yu-Gi-Oh! card or maybe a few of them, I can't quite remember. I already feel old most of the time, but yeah that's an early theater memory for sure.
Alien Romulus is a really great movie with a few small nitpicks you can make but it’s such a fun theatre experience and is definitely the best in the franchise since the first two films certainly worth the theatre ticket!
Romulus had an opportunity to slash the budget by $20M. Just trim the first 40 minutes and get right into the action. Also dump the third act, visually very ugly. Xenomorphs are slick, it looked like a different horror film.
@@esoteric_1 „Trim the first 40 minutes“ The first third of the movie was by far the best part. A nice build up to what will happen later. And you also got a glimpse of what life in the colonies was like.
The non sequel remake chart is more interesting if you factor out based on IP. Then you'd have IF, Longlegs, and Civil War, and Beekeeper, Challengers, and Argylle. Trap would be somewhere too. That's a list I like to track!
Honestly... Maybe it's for the best - the last time this franchise tried to be original it led to Covenant... Sometimes, aliens trying to eat your face and galactic corporation exploiting you is enough... Could it had less references and cgi death faces of beloved actors? Yes, but whatever...
Dan i love this show so much! I always look forward to it during the week, and you do the charts better than anyone else with so much good insight. Thank you for all this great work! Love from Denmark❤
What's wild is despite DP&W insane opening, it's 3rd and 4th weeks are pretty on par with Inside Out, showing it was much more front loaded and will probably not outgross it I look forward to seeing how it compares week after week
There's a line to be drawn for the list to to be meaningful. The two Garfield movies were different enough that they're both adaptations of the comics. If you made a list of only original screenplays, that would exclude It Ends With Us.
So happy that Alien: Romulus is one of the biggest horror hits of the year! Great for that major franchise! The Coraline rerelease did great for Laika!
I know Romulus only had a budget around 80 mill but I was hoping to see it hit the low 60s so I definitely hope it has a low drop off and still brings in around 22-25 mill the34 next weekend. I know some have called it a "greatest hits by a cover band" but I really enjoyed it and want it to do well for Fede (secretly hoping he'll help Terminator like he did Evil Dead and Alien). I was surprised Prometheus had a larger opening weekend than Romulus (even unadjusted) but I was also surprised how much the two connected and I honestly like what they did with that connection.
I did enjoy the profitability trackers we had for big movies maybe last year? I imagine they're a lot of work but I would be interested in seeing how some of the bigger movies (or flops) compared to their budgets
This may seem like a small thing, but I want to give you props for the way you contextualized Hillbilly Elegy's appearance on the streaming charts. Just very matter of fact without any added opinionated commentary. You're very respectful about movies and shows that may cater/appeal to more religious and/or conservative leaning audiences; and as someone who is in both of those groups, it's a big reason why I've enjoyed your content for all these years. It's a nice contrast to a large majority of online movie discourse that tends to get entrenched in the "culture war" stuff all the time. Excited for the Alien ranking video! Have a great rest of your week!
Watched Alien: Romulus twice in IMAX becuz i had some money saved for Summer break and it was just that great to watch, ik it has a few problems, but its very well made and entertaining as hell. Great performances, great production design, great action-horror sequences, great visuals/direction, great practical effects, great music. So glad they released this on the big screen, they should’ve done that with Prey also, but was never expecting this movie to be such a big hit given all the mockery online about its young cast
As a fan of Coraline and someone that went to go see it this weekend, I was kind of hoping you might make more mention of it here. One thing that is fascinating is that it made nearly $4 million more than Phantom Menace's re-release this year with 1165 less screens than Phantom Menace's re-release. PM did $3230 per theater average for it's 25th anniversary re-release while Coraline did $6261. That added a nice $12.5 million to Laika's coffers for funding more amazing stop motion projects from them in the future.
Thanks for the charts Dan. Looking forward to your Alien ranking video. Didn’t know there were short films. Also, I hope you see and post a review of “Blink Twice”. Really like to know your thoughts on the film.
Hi Dan. Thank you for your amazing charts. Please make sure to update the MCU totals. Some are not up to date. Black Panther, for example, has $40M more.
Hey Dan, Alien 3 and 4 opened on Holiday weekends, below is from boxofficeguru Alien : Resurrection which opened in second place with a three-day chomp of $16.5M with a five-day haul of $25.8M. The Fox sequel, starring Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder, launched in 2,415 locations for an alien-busting Friday-to-Sunday average of $6,822 per theater. With an average gross of $5.5M per day over the three-day weekend, Resurrection nearly cloned the $5.8M opening daily average of its predecessor Alien3 which grossed $23.1M over the four-day Memorial Day Weekend frame in 1992.
hey Dan, in case you didn't for your Alien ranking video, you should check out the Alien Isolation game. You could watch the cinematics on youtube as a movie. It's a great story , it takes place between 1 and 2, and I don't think it's retconned by anything that came afterwards. There's even a short segment (it was a DLC after the main game) that takes place on the Nostromo with most of the original cast (they were alive at the time this was made) returning to voice the characters.
Hey Dan, love your work, just wanted to let you know that I think looking deeper into Coralines rerelease numbers would've been really cool, these numbers are quite frankly outstanding. It's one if the biggest rereleases in years, and I can't think of another time where the rerelease had a chance of outgrossing the originals opening weekend, which this has, but also, opened within range of other Laika films such as The Missing Link which it easily outgrossed, and was within fighting distance of Kubo and the Two Strings
Hey Dan! How hard would it be to make a special instalment about the "school-night box office"? A show about the best working week days in history, what days during the week do people go to the movies? What movie has had the biggest % of it's total box office from work-week days? I think there's something cool in there, maybe a special show? A slow weekend when the summer is over? I would love to see it.
I live in Romania. I've been going to my favourite cinema on Tuesdays lately, 'cause the ticket price is half off. I've watched Deadpool &Wolverine with a full theatre, even the front seats were all occupied. I don't know if you have these kind of deals during week days. If so, he should see what the "butts in seats" numbers are, not the gross for week days.
@@emmalavinia9962 exactly! In Colombia we have 2x1 wednesdays and the movie theaters are usually packed. I guess there will be outliers like holidays or worldwide events affecting it but even those would be interesting to note.
Hi Dan! I'm a fan of your channel and love your coverage, both the reviews and Movie Math, but I am more content with hanging out silently in the background. However, I feel compelled to tell you that "Detective Conan" is not a Chinese animation. It is Japanese and it is one of the longest-running film franchises based on an ongoing manga (Case Closed). I have always appreciated how often you highlight live-action films and animations outside the US and I feel that this information is relevant to your efforts. Hope my input is not impolite or out of line =)
I know - I covered its release in Japan earlier this year. It was released in China last weekend, where anime has had a surge in popularity. Thanks for watching.
Caught Didi and Alien Romulus yesterday. Dan you were right. Romulus as a seismograph was quite accurate. Didi was a heck of a ride as well in another way.
13:11 A slight correction. I know BO numbers for India can be hit or miss with its reporting, but Stree 2 claims to have made close to 34 million USD (per what the producers have claimed). If you subtract the 2 million USD for the US and Canada, that should still put it at #4.
Hi Dan, Love these episodes. Quick bit of feedback that I think would make your some of your charts better. For the Inside Out vs Deadpool comparison chart, you don't show Inside Out's most recent weeks. I think the recent weeks for Inside out would add more context for which film we expect to be the number 1 film of the summer. For your top 10 summer picks vs actual, it would be helpful if movies that you didn't pick but actually made the list were highlighted in some way. That way folks can easily see which movies overperformed your expectations. For example, IF, It Ends with Us, and The Fall Guy could be in orange text and be labeled as "Unpicked." This would highlight that your misses were near the bottom of the top ten movies for the summer.
Extremely, extremely gratifying to know an over 10-year old animated re-release is doing better numbers than Borderlands in it's second weekend. Both the intrigue of it in 3D and generally being well remembered is showing,
Don't know what that poster is worded the way it is but the Coraline was shot (not converted) and originally released in 3D. That is not a new feature for that re-release. Also more accurate to call it stop-motion vs 'animated'.
@@curtisbme Of course I know that. For pete sake, I saw it in theaters when it came out in 3D! I'm just saying it's pretty darn good that the re-releasing is now showing it that way too.
thank you! Grace was making out that the alien Romulus debut was bad, bordering on a disaster. This was exactly meeting expectations for the franchise and a mid budget horror sci fi with a cast of unknowns.
Hey Dan! Happy Tuesday :) Talking about adjusted worldwide inflation with friends, we agreed that if you have the corresponding numbers in USD for each year, you can then use the USA inflation accordingly. (The exchange currency rate for each year, would compensate the local inflation from each country). Source: a bunch of actuaries who work in finance ;)
25:24 Has it really been 20 years already since 2004?! I remember when the Bourne Supremacy and Princess Diaries 2 came out, it feels like only yesterday!
Just a note Dan on the domestic overall box office Alien 3 is incorrect it’s actually $55M. Probably just an editing error I assume. On that note though, I was REALLY hoping that Romulus could score a new franchise record for opening weekend and it’s crazy how the one movie in this franchise that doesn’t have the “Alien” name in it is the highest.
@@SylviusTheMad I think he's talking about the overall domestic box office for Alien 3, not just the opening weekend, which Dan lists as $95m even though he puts it below Aliens, AVP, Alien, and Alien: Covenant which he lists as having smaller grosses.
Happy for Romulus, I really liked the film, and also happy the budget was only 80 millions, is pretty close to probably recover the marketing budget as well so this one might break even in theaters if week 2 does well. also HAPPY for CORALINE, been in the top 5 as an animated re release, did a LOT better than the Pixar movies this year they re release, will premiere also in my country so I will go and see it with some friends.
this just proves that like Godzilla minus one, if you budget well you can make a movie look beautiful like Alien Romulus did. the acid blood in zero G alone was an amazing scene but the whole movie ( minus one part, ugh ) looked so good.
Hiya Dan. Since moving the show to Monday, do you think your viewership and engagement have gone up. Regardless, love the show whatever day you put it up. Thanks
Romulus is honestly pretty excellent. Yes, there some poor CGI, some pacing issues, and other little things, but overall, I was absolutely pleased with its beauty, gore, and storytelling
A case of morbid curiosity almost made me buy tickets for Borderlands this week (it opens on Thursday in Germany). Instead, I'm gonna see Horizon Part 1, which also only opens now. But hey, at least "Madame Web" producer Avi Arad must be glad he doesn't have the worst performing movie of the year, right? Now it's...also Avi Arad, only now for "Borderlands". Huh.
I'm glad it BIT off 41 Million domestically. It also HATCHED another 66 millioin oversees. The fans sure HUGGED this one. *these are all from real articles*
Do you have any data on Hillbilly Elegy's original run. It came out in 2020 on Netflix, so I think they were doing streaming charts for Netflix at the time
I've already seen cuckoo last Tuesday and is a really weird freaky scary horror film, and it has the better twist than M. Night's trap and both Boderlands and Cuckoo have the same 1 hour and 42 minutes runtime.
I like alien Romulus if the reason some people didn't like it was the ending. I can understand their their gripe on it. But if people didn't like it cuz of the references get off your high horse man and be a child again like y'all got to really enjoy this movie. I'm I'm an absolute alien fan and I only felt one call out to be out of place
I work in a movie theater, and we had an empty theater for all the showings of Borderlands on Sunday, and 8 people watched overall for both Friday and Saturday's screenings.
@Randy_Richmondwhen it was film, probably. With digital they usually just shut it off after a little while
@Randy_Richmond yes we do, but if no one shows up, we shut off the projector.
"In a Borderlands showing, no one can hear you scream"
Honestly, even if people were watching, they probably wouldn't mind the projector shutting down midway. Save their time, save your cinema power bill.
Considering Romulus was supposed to go straight to streaming, a $41 million domestic opening & $100 million+ worldwide opening against an $80 million budget is a pretty good result all things considered. Personally if I’m Disney I’d be taking that as a win… Also, lol Borderlands, Eli Roth ain’t ever getting another big budget movie again
Eli Roth is a better actor than he is a director.

Another week where Dan doesnt say that Long legs had long legs and im disappointed
"Borderlands. YIKES." I felt that in my soul. 😂
The "Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne!" really got me. 😂

I am just now realizing that Inside Out 2 has a legit shot of passing the Lion King (2019), just 38 mill between them. 😮
The reason why I don’t really like to follow streaming numbers is because they don’t seem as transparent and clear box office, it’s weird
I told Dan to make it separate as well
@@RedXDC I don’t think that’s the issue, Dan has made it separate before but the content is the same, it’s not really his fault, it’s just how the industry works yk
They don't seem transparent because they are not transparent for the most part. We don't really know for most of the services, we have best guesses.
I wonder what the record for most theaters lost in a weekend is? Cause it feels like if that is something that can be found out, it would make a VERY interesting chart for Borderlands next week.
Also, Longlegs lost 665 theaters? So close!
Hey Dan, as a British viewer, just want to say I really appreciate the new change of release time. It makes a big difference to get my box office video on a Monday evening than a Tuesday morning, feels very cosy!
Same!
I second that (in Israel).
I would always wait up till like 2am when he uploaded it at that time
Do Brits spell "cozy" "cosy"? I know there are some "z"s for Americans that are "s"s for Brits but I never thought of applying that to "cozy".
Ditto! An yes we do spell it Cosy. Cos it's how it's spelt lol
Thanks Dan. Nice to watch a Charts before my Aussie work day.
At this point, was the boxoffice really weak this year week? Or rather, was everything just pushed later into year because of the actor/writers strike?

Yesss!
5:01 that should be around 55 million for Alien 3.
So you're telling me that a movie starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews had great legs? I could've told you that.
Alien Romulus is a really great movie with a few small nitpicks you can make but it’s such a fun theatre experience and is definitely the best in the franchise since the first two films certainly worth the theatre ticket!
That's good to know, I'm super excited for it

Until beetlejuice 2 hits theaters on Sep 6th
I think Inside Out, will win out, family movies have longer legs than comic book movies traditionally. Although are will very sucessfull!
It's not passing inside out 2. Rated R and its a comedy
Great video!!! No one is doing it like you. So professional but we can also tell you love the work!
Garfield isn't a sequel, but is definitely a reboot.
the list includes reboots though, just not remakes.
There's a line to be drawn for the list to to be meaningful. The two Garfield movies were different enough that they're both adaptations of the comics. If you made a list of only original screenplays, that would exclude It Ends With Us.
Alien was freaking amazing!
Always look forward to box office charts, Dan. Hello from the UK. Great work!
Alien: Romulus $42 M
Deadpool and Wolverine $30 M

Alien vs. Predator is 20 years old! And I've turned to dust.
Oh dear, Thanos is at it again...
Watched Alien: Romulus twice in IMAX becuz i had some money saved for Summer break and it was just that great to watch, ik it has a few problems, but its very well made and entertaining as hell. Great performances, great production design, great action-horror sequences, great visuals/direction, great practical effects, great music. So glad they released this on the big screen, they should’ve done that with Prey also, but was never expecting this movie to be such a big hit given all the mockery online about its young cast
As a fan of Coraline and someone that went to go see it this weekend, I was kind of hoping you might make more mention of it here.
One thing that is fascinating is that it made nearly $4 million more than Phantom Menace's re-release this year with 1165 less screens than Phantom Menace's re-release. PM did $3230 per theater average for it's 25th anniversary re-release while Coraline did $6261. That added a nice $12.5 million to Laika's coffers for funding more amazing stop motion projects from them in the future.
Keep up the great work Dan
Alien doing pretty well. Very very sensible budget.
Thanks for the charts Dan. Looking forward to your Alien ranking video. Didn’t know there were short films. Also, I hope you see and post a review of “Blink Twice”. Really like to know your thoughts on the film.
Thanks for the box office report
Excited for The Cat Returns & Bettlejuice 2.
I loved Alien Romulus!
Hi Dan. Thank you for your amazing charts. Please make sure to update the MCU totals. Some are not up to date. Black Panther, for example, has $40M more.
Never thought Alien could make a comeback , but here we are.
Maybe it's something in the water 😋
I am very happy to see it doing so well, Covenant was disappointing. So I guess that's a comeback?
Sometimes all a long running franchise needs to do in order to make it big again is go back to the basics.

Alien : Resurrection which opened in second place with a three-day chomp of $16.5M with a five-day haul of $25.8M.

This would highlight that your misses were near the bottom of the top ten movies for the summer.
Extremely, extremely gratifying to know an over 10-year old animated re-release is doing better numbers than Borderlands in it's second weekend. Both the intrigue of it in 3D and generally being well remembered is showing,
Don't know what that poster is worded the way it is but the Coraline was shot (not converted) and originally released in 3D. That is not a new feature for that re-release. Also more accurate to call it stop-motion vs 'animated'.
@@curtisbme Of course I know that. For pete sake, I saw it in theaters when it came out in 3D! I'm just saying it's pretty darn good that the re-releasing is now showing it that way too.
thank you! Grace was making out that the alien Romulus debut was bad, bordering on a disaster. This was exactly meeting expectations for the franchise and a mid budget horror sci fi with a cast of unknowns.
26:15 made me laugh for an embarassingly long time
Hey Dan! Happy Tuesday :)
Talking about adjusted worldwide inflation with friends, we agreed that if you have the corresponding numbers in USD for each year, you can then use the USA inflation accordingly. (The exchange currency rate for each year, would compensate the local inflation from each country).

25:24 Has it really been 20 years already since 2004?! I remember when the Bourne Supremacy and Princess Diaries 2 came out, it feels like only yesterday!
Just a note Dan on the domestic overall box office Alien 3 is incorrect it’s actually $55M. Probably just an editing error I assume.
On that note though, I was REALLY hoping that Romulus could score a new franchise record for opening weekend and it’s crazy how the one movie in this franchise that doesn’t have the “Alien” name in it is the highest.
edit: I misunderstood.
Prometheus wasn't marketed as an Alien film, which might be telling.
@@SylviusTheMad I think he's talking about the overall domestic box office for Alien 3, not just the opening weekend, which Dan lists as $95m even though he puts it below Aliens, AVP, Alien, and Alien: Covenant which he lists as having smaller grosses.
@@SylviusTheMad I’m talking about overall domestic not opening weekend domestic
@@ProuvaireJean if anything then you’d think it would do less because of that but hey you never know
More good news for the Box Office!
good video thanks
Happy for Romulus, I really liked the film, and also happy the budget was only 80 millions, is pretty close to probably recover the marketing budget as well so this one might break even in theaters if week 2 does well. also HAPPY for CORALINE, been in the top 5 as an animated re release, did a LOT better than the Pixar movies this year they re release, will premiere also in my country so I will go and see it with some friends.
this just proves that like Godzilla minus one, if you budget well you can make a movie look beautiful like Alien Romulus did. the acid blood in zero G alone was an amazing scene but the whole movie ( minus one part, ugh ) looked so good.
Whatever anyone may say, Blake Lively’s strategy certainly worked
I love Longlegs; i have Dune 2 and Longlegs as my top 2 films of 2024.
Hiya Dan. Since moving the show to Monday, do you think your viewership and engagement have gone up. Regardless, love the show whatever day you put it up. Thanks
Romulus is honestly pretty excellent. Yes, there some poor CGI, some pacing issues, and other little things, but overall, I was absolutely pleased with its beauty, gore, and storytelling
Another massive win for Disney.
Well put but the Alien charts was a little messed up...
omg stree 2 mentioned
Great Show, when you are doing the yearly figures can you include which studio is in the lead?
I update that information with a chart at the end of every month.
A case of morbid curiosity almost made me buy tickets for Borderlands this week (it opens on Thursday in Germany). Instead, I'm gonna see Horizon Part 1, which also only opens now.
But hey, at least "Madame Web" producer Avi Arad must be glad he doesn't have the worst performing movie of the year, right? Now it's...also Avi Arad, only now for "Borderlands". Huh.
At the end of the year you should total up how many weeks we were above or below the red and blue lines on the road to recovery.
Hey Dan, is your Borderlands drop from the actual or estimated of last week? The actual number is less (2,427,379) but the drop is also less (71.8%)

When you show that MCU tracker, what does the yellow highlighted boxes mean?
here we go
Looks like 'Alien: Romulus' was able to *SCARE* away the competition
I'm glad it BIT off 41 Million domestically. It also HATCHED another 66 millioin oversees. The fans sure HUGGED this one. *these are all from real articles*
It BURST onto the scene!
No mention of The Crow? Cinematic bombs are tight.
Hey Dan, you have any of your brilliant analysis planned for the recent chabges a paramount please?
Do you have any data on Hillbilly Elegy's original run. It came out in 2020 on Netflix, so I think they were doing streaming charts for Netflix at the time
I've already seen cuckoo last Tuesday and is a really weird freaky scary horror film, and it has the better twist than M. Night's trap and both Boderlands and Cuckoo have the same 1 hour and 42 minutes runtime.
What's the difference between the international and global charts?
@DanMurrellMovies Wish this was released in Nepal 🇳🇵 too. I was so excited to see it in big screen but wasn't or hasn't released yet🙁🤞
I still think it's stupid that Alien 3 calls itself Alien Cubed. What does the exponent add to the title, or did it just look cool?
I like alien Romulus if the reason some people didn't like it was the ending. I can understand their their gripe on it. But if people didn't like it cuz of the references get off your high horse man and be a child again like y'all got to really enjoy this movie. I'm I'm an absolute alien fan and I only felt one call out to be out of place
I am just here to laugh at Borderlands.
