Box-Office Showdown (8/4 - 8/6) Dreamin' Wild, Meg 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I guess bad RT scores/reviews didn't matter to The Meg. But the second weekend surely will be a whole other story likely

DanTheMan · 08-06-2023, 04:25 PM

Moneymaker Margot Robbie.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 08-06-2023, 04:37 PM

So Mr. Dan. How many times have you currently seen your girl in theaters?

Underworld54 · 08-06-2023, 04:18 PM

$1.00031B for Barbie...she did it. Also Gerwig is the first female director to surpass $1B. I threw that last bit in for BB, he likes posting records and he's presently away from the forum right now.

Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck directed Captain Marvel, which grossed well over a billion.

Maybe they meant the first solo female director.

Probably so, but I thought it was worth pointing out. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are a directing duo like Radio Silence or Daniels.

That's a duo.

When was the last time that four movies in the top ten were at (or just under) $30 million?

SammymeBlu · 08-06-2023, 07:27 PM

I will have to say, "Sound of Freedom" is so far the box office movie surprise of the year and it is still doing very well.

Cremildo · 08-06-2023, 08:38 PM

Didn't expect Meg 2 to open so well overseas, but then again I forgot the first one was actually a hit.

BloodshotUSA · 08-06-2023, 10:41 PM

I wonder if Meg 2 is going to match the original's $530m box office gross. It's definitely not going to reach the first film's US gross of $145m.

Tony208 · 08-06-2023, 10:53 PM

Meg 2 is half a China production maybe it will do better numbers than recent hollywood films there

How much did the first one cost to make?

According to Deadline it was $178m.

unberechenbar · 08-06-2023, 11:29 PM

Did the lack of Li Bingbing in Meg 2 hurt its box office?

she isn't a star in america so it didn't matter here

Wu Jing is bigger star than she is anyway in china

the success of the meg was a fluke. i don’t know why they could repeat it.

Yet it seems they are. Most of the first movie's success came from overseas and it seems to be doing around the same again, so i'm not sure how it was a fluke. There's a demand for monster movies, most of them are much more popular internationally than in North America, which is why they keep on making more. There's a clear pattern that has been established for close to a decade now for these kind of movies.
