Blackphone 2 vs Coho

The Halloween weekend at the box office offered some final scares, including a last-minute horror movie reappearance Black phone 2 And BookTok’s reanimated corpse powers Colleen Hoover’s adaptation We are sorry for you. behind them, Bugonia Expanded to modest numbers, and Battle after battle He continued his run as the top points scorer this season.

It seemed as if Black phone 2 It would end its run at the top of the box office charts after just one week Chainsaw man Cut it down to size last weekend. But in classic horror movie style, Ethan Hawke’s horror sequel rises from the grave to face one last terror. Initial estimates place Grabber’s second neck and neck with (and even slightly behind) the romantic drama We are sorry for youBut when the numbers finally came in, Black phone 2 It took first place over the weekend with $8.3 million, bringing its cumulative total to $61 million. With additional points calculated for clearing $50 million and getting first place, Black phone 2 He now has a total score of 126, second behind Battle after battle (192 points) in the overall ranking. Taking into account that 80 of these Oba The points are from last week’s Gotham Awards nominations, Black phone 2 It is the league leader so far in terms of pure box office. This is good news for the 1,773 of you who had enough faith in Grabber to buy the movie for $5.

Meanwhile, We are sorry for you It held admirably in its second week. It’s easy to forget now, but the 2024 movie And it ends with us Not only was it a pretext for an extended media controversy, it was ultimately the basis for a lawsuit involving Blake Lively and star director Justin Baldoni. The film was, in fact, a $350 million worldwide summer box office hit, and a big factor in its success was that it was based on a hugely popular novel by Colleen Hoover. We are sorry for you — a romantic drama starring Allison Williams and Dave Franco that, as far as we know, hasn’t generated any lawsuits — hasn’t generated nearly the kind of enthusiasm as Hoover’s previous adaptation. But at just $3, the 352 people who have crafted the film have gotten good value out of it so far.

Battle after battle It received another $1 million and change in its sixth week, putting it closer to the $75 million bonus threshold. That’s nice, but after Gotham’s nominations haul last week, its box office performance is about to become a marginal part of the show ObaLarger points portfolio. The same probably can’t be said about him Tron: Areswhich would have had to be worth between $100 million and $200 million to end up being a worthwhile purchase for its 896 teams. At $67 million and with dwindling awards prospects (perhaps appearing on the Oscars visual effects shortlist), such an outcome seems unlikely.

In terms of movies that is We are Competitors for important awards, Bugonia It expanded widely, reaching a cumulative $5 million and No. 5 at the weekend box office. For comparison’s sake, Bad things It didn’t expand beyond 2,000 screens until its eighth week, but it managed to earn $5 million in its third weekend, on just 800 screens, on its way to earning $34 million domestically. On the other end of the Yorgos Lanthimos-Emma Stone line is last year’s line Types of charitywhich grossed just $3.8 million after three weeks and on 900 screens. Bugonia‘s box office performance is closer to Types of charity One side of things, though, is that the film’s awards prospects look better.

And now for our weekly banging Roof man Drum: Four weeks after release, Roof man It reaches $21 million, which puts it ahead of the following films:

• Springsteen: Save me from nowhere — $16 million
• Crushing machine – 11 million dollars
• Bugonia — $5 million
• After hunting — $3 million

Does this mean anything? He is Roof man Just at the top of the list of relatively low-grossing films with prestige elements that 20 years ago would have made five times what they do now? maybe! I keep saying let’s put Channing Tatum in the Oscar race.
