Marvel Cinematic Universe Franchise Box Office History. August 2. 0th, 2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was the second biggest hit of the summer and the third biggest hit of 2. It is also part of the MCU and there hasn’t been a truly bad movie in the MCU so far. Spoiler alert: This movie doesn’t break the winning streak. However, it could be a really good movie and still not live up to the original.

Is that the case? Or can Vol 2 outshine the first installment? War for the Planet of the Apes earned first place with a slightly better than predicted result of $5. Overall, the box office plummeted 2.

This was also a little lower than the same weekend last year. The emphasis is on “little”, as it only dropped by 0. On its own, this would be nothing to worry about.

However, 2. 01. 7’s lead over 2. We’ve lost about $2. I don’t see that turning around any time soon. War will come in with $5. Fox’s Sunday morning estimate, while Homecoming will finish second with $4.

It’s the second- best debut for the Spider- Man franchise, if you ignore the effects of inflation, and makes it almost certain that the franchise will break its unfortunate streak of earning less at the domestic box office with every new outing. With, reportedly, a more constrained budget—this is the least expensive Spider- Man film, adjusted for inflation—profitability looks assured, and Sony’s partnership with Disney looks as though it’s paying off. Its opening day vs. Spider- Man: Homecoming did earn better reviews, while both movies earned a solid A from Cinema. Score, and many more kids have no school on Monday compared to when Guardians debuted. All of this should help its legs.

On the other hand, Homecoming could have a bigger Fanboy Effect, as Spider- Man is a much more established character. Because of that, I’m going to be a little more cautious and predict a $1. This is still simply fantastic and the only downside is Sony and Disney have to work together to make this work in the long term. This is Sony’s second best domestic opening of all time.

Sony has a lot of reasons to work with Disney to keep Spider- Man in the MCU. Despicable Me 3 starts off festivities this weekend with a solid- but- unspectacular $7. Breaking The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s record for widest opening weekend of all time is no small feat for Universal, but it’s an ominous sign for the franchise that the only film to open in close to this number of theaters and pull in similar numbers at the box office was Shrek Forever After, which opened with $7. That was the last Shrek movie, and this might be a good time for Gru to call it a day.

By the time this story goes live, we will still have almost no box office data for Despicable Me 3, so we won’t know if June ended on a positive note. Fortunately, Wonder Woman beat expectations and might end up as the biggest hit of the summer, at least for a little while. July begins with Spider- Man: Homecoming, which should make at least $3. It is very likely that nothing else this month will come within $1. There are a few potential $1. War for the Planet of the Apes, Dunkirk, and a couple of other long shots. Last July had a similar feel with The Secret Life of Pets topping the list with well over $3.

This July would have to beat expectations substantially to match this performance. I’m not confident 2. I’m worried at least one big film will struggled and 2. The studio is in desperate need of a hit, and the Transformers franchise is by far their biggest property. Even including the film’s grosses from Wednesday and Thursday, its $6. B+ Cinema. Score mean that it won’t have significant legs, even with a bit of help from the upcoming July 4 weekend.

So all eyes are going to be on its overseas performance. The last time they had a $2. Transformer movie to hit theaters. The last time they had more than a 1. MCU movies. Speaking of combined universes, The Last Knight is supposed to be the creation of a new Hasbro Combined Universe with this franchise and G. I. Joe being the heart of the new universe. This could fail for the same reasons The Mummy failed to jump start the Dark Universe franchise.

Namely, the reviews are terrible and audiences are tired of combined universes being forced instead of growing organically. While that’s a very respectable figure in anyone’s book (and continues Disney’s domination at the box office this year), it’s down markedly from Cars 2’s $6.

If that proves to be the case, it’ll be the second- worst performer ever for Pixar, beating only The Good Dinosaur. Talk of a decline at Pixar is over- blown, in my opinion, but this is still a so- so result by their high standards.

This is a higher opening day than The Lego Batman Movie managed, but family films have a much higher internal multiplier outside of summer, because kids won’t be able to see the movie during matinees on the Friday. If it has the same internal multiplier as Finding Dory had, it would open with $4. While Cars 3’s reviews are not as good, it earned an A from Cinema. Score, the same as Dory did. Furthermore, Cars 3 is being seen much more by kids than Dory was, as that film had a larger share of adult animation fans, so this should also help its legs. It won’t match our prediction of $5. The studio is projecting a $3.

That will be a fairly distant second to Wonder Woman, which is expected to earn about $5. Even the bright news—that this is Tom Cruise’s biggest global opening weekend—comes with an asterisk. I assumed The Mummy would at least win on Friday, but that’s not the case, as Wonder Woman remains the number one box office draw. The film earned $1.

Friday, which is 5. Friday. It should bounce back on Saturday and finish the weekend with $5. A super hero movie falling less than 5.

Granted, its reviews are among the best of the year, so having better than average legs was expect. That said, a 4. 9% drop- off is still an amazing performance and should lead to more than a few movie executives to look for ways to copy its success. This weekend isn’t expected to be nearly as potent. The biggest new release is The Mummy, which is supposed to be the start of the Dark Universe, but its reviews suggest this combined universe will be short- lived. It Comes At Night could become A2. Finally there’s Megan Leavey.

It isn’t expected to open truly wide, but it only needs about $2 million to reach the top ten. This weekend last year was similar in terms of box office strength. The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist led the way with barely more than $4. This year’s crop of new films is nowhere near as good as that; however, the holdovers should make up the difference leaving 2. As I’ve said a few times this year, any other studio would kill for numbers like those, but this marks the third straight decline in the franchise’s fortunes. Dead Man’s Chest had the best opening for any Pirates film, with $1.

At World’s End did $1. Memorial Day weekend in 2. On Stranger Tides delivered a $9. Memorial Day weekend in 2. With this kind of start, Dead Men will struggle to deliver $2.

However, this year the two new releases are far from the best. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales has the worst reviews in the franchise and its domestic box office will likely be the same.

Sadly, Baywatch’s reviews are even worse. That said, they should still finish one- two over the weekend, while Alien: Covenant and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will be in a race for third place. It likely won’t be close. Meanwhile, this weekend last year, X- Men: Apocalypse and Alice Through the Looking Glass opened one- two during the weekend with results that are similar to what Dead Men Tell No Tales / Baywatch are expected to make. I don’t know if 2. However, it had a strange journey there.

Everything, Everything earned more during its opening weekend than it cost to make, which is great news for the studio. On the other hand, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul will be the last entry in this franchise for a long time.

Meanwhile, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 became only the second film released in 2.
