hello and welcome to this week's movie
math where the weekend after
Thanksgiving was a quiet time for
Hollywood but that's so much to reflect
what a stuff as much money into their
cheeks as possible like little woodland
creatures before road one comes along
and maybe office Christmas party if
people get really desperate this coming
weekend but what's interesting about
Star Wars is that it's really really
shaped december because I a perfect
example of that is mawana vs frozen now
I don't know if they're really at the
same level they are box-office wise
muwah as numbers in comparison to frozen
are almost identical
however you'll notice or perhaps you
won't notice which is the whole point
that there's no monomania sweeping not
just the nation but the globe there were
frozen
youtube videos frozen I you know fanart
going up everywhere just you know
everybody was talking about it non-stop
but all the moma action right now is
just at the multiplex however getting
those box office numbers are identical
but with frozen that only had to contend
with the hobbit the second Hobbit film
and also to some degree hunger games
catching fire this strongest of the
hunger games movies that came out prior
to frozen so you made all its money
largely upfront so because there was
limited competition for frozen it was
able to stay in the top three for seven
weeks even popping back up into the
number one spot a couple of times
including the first weekend of january
but now Star Wars has taken up their big
you know the middle of december just
sitting there like Jabba the Hutt right
I did you know it's just his own fault
they're eating their own films but i
guess they're there
movies are still front-loaded these days
that they can do it right there like oh
yeah everyone see it right away because
we've got another one coming up in just
a few weeks guys and that's certainly
what they've done with Star Wars
especially wanted / 01 is going to skew
young but you know the main episode
certainly do and so does animation so
we'll see what happens with more on
overall we can get to the heights of
frozen and just you know
it just might get to the billion dollar
club because well its overseas box
office isn't so good it's doing very
weakly in China it's also a slow rollout
it's not in playing in a number of
countries as many of you are aware
because you can't see it and that's the
same thing happen with finding Dory
finding Dory really took a long time
swimming around the globe and it looks
like for a little bit there like it
wasn't enjoying the billion dollar club
but it did in fact it ended up doing
quite well that's thanks to a very
strong domestic hall and we're having a
little bit of a problem
domestic numbers right around now let's
discuss so head over to fantastic beasts
for that conversation is going to take
shape
alright so first off with fantastic
beasts the good news is it's doing very
well overseas
it's the number one movie in the foreign
market for the third week in a row and
pulling 16.4 million this week ended as
you can see the overseas numbers that's
on the entire planet Earth outside of
the united states that's what pulled in
so you can see that's one of the reasons
that it goes like us
china and then everybody else because
the numbers just aren't big enough but
when you put them together always you're
about to see they get very effective
also fantastic beasts doing very nicely
overseas and it's up to 607 worldwide
and it's been out for just about three
weeks that's very impressive
however and comparison the harry potter
franchise it still hasn't gotten on the
board the lowest harry potter worldwide
box office is the third film azkaban
prisoner of azkaban with seven 96.7
justice major 800 and that interestingly
enough was their first summer release in
the franchise which turned out not to be
a good fit with harry potter the brand
and that just emphasizes the importance
of really state and release date
patterns disney has their thanksgiving
movies
harry potter comes out and I you know
November that's in November film and
then star wars will see Star Wars is
gonna experiment with summer with Han
Solo they might need to regret that
although Han Solo does really seem like
a summer movie but i don't think the
castings maybe i'm turning out so well
over there don't might not make a
difference or it might just be star wars
so who cares what you really see you can
do it anytime you want but fantastic
beasts it's number two but it dropped
pretty big its third weekend almost
dropped sixty percent
it's only up to 180 3.5 domestically now
the lowest the harry potter the
franchise domestically was again azkaban
with to 49.5 so the fact that fantastic
beasts will just maybe barely get to 200
isn't such a great sign that's a little
scary and Doctor Strange is having a
similar dilemma now dr. strange number 5
domestically its fifth week and drop
53-percent also coming to the end of its
run in the United States it's settling
in with around to 15.3 now when you turn
your attention to dr. Strange's
worldwide numbers at first glance it
looks very healthy when you do a little
digging you see maybe a sickness in the
domestic box office allow me to explain
alright so I worldwide Doctor Strange
has so many numbers in front of me dr.
strange has 630 4.9 million oh that's a
nice number especially since it's only
six weeks into its run and it's closing
in on the entire run of captain america
the winter soldier a real game-changer
of a movie and that was caps second film
no less and put the Russo brothers on
the map change the course for the entire
MCU so for the very first film for a
character to be within striking distance
and potentially surpassed that movie
always so exciting for scott derrickson
but I think Kevin find you have still a
way to negotiate down tarak-sin spat on
this equal i look at right you know
looking at the domestic vs overseas
numbers and if I were Kevin foggy I just
be a little concerned about this overall
so overseas uh dr. strange is up to 400
19.6 which is very very close to the 454
4.5 winter soldier and even going to the
galaxy with 44.2 so why isn't dr.
strange already at the same level as
them worldwide are surpassing are having
surpassed them
well it's because its domestic numbers
are so much lower again settling in
around two 15.3 whereas guardians of the
galaxy did 333 point2 domestic and
Captain America Civil War 408 point 1
million domestic likes and also the good
thing about civil war is that it shows
that that was the same year that you
know maybe it's just the solo movie
something's happening here but for like
the really big movies the crossover you
know you know the big the the crown
jewel of the MCU 4 2016 the domestic
audience still showed up
now if you want to have a really healthy
blockbuster your domestic numbers should
be in the three hundreds most of the big
movies 4 2016 so far at least you're in
the 300 like suicide squad just made it
in there right now for this year only
Dorian cap again just disney are in the
400 million range however movies can go
even higher domestically jurassic world
would 26 hunt in the 600 million range
and the force awakens which is obviously
unusual got into 900 million domestic
alone so that gives you an idea as you
watch the box office
what a blockbuster needs to get to that
you know for a while
fantastic beasts and Doctor Strange
their worldwide numbers look great
their domestic numbers are shockingly
far from the 300 mark so if i were both
Warner Brothers and disney why take a
closer look at that then speaking of
overseas box office i got to mention
your name and this was the best place
that fit into the episode this is the
japanese anime movie i reviewed on
Friday fantastic film and it continues
to make headlines it just opened in
China huge hit 41 million dollar opening
way more than wanna for instance and
that brings its worldwide total to 43.1
which makes it the second
highest-grossing film ever to come out
of japan worldwide spirited away still
number one with two 74.9 but no your
name is getting awfully close and it
still hasn't hit the United States or
actually a number of countries as i said
in my review on Friday I hope you'll
check that out link down below the video
down below in the video description i
think that Funimation which is releasing
it stateside they have a qualifying
release that just started this past
weekend so it can be nominated for
awards season but they want to be able
to say oscar-nominated potentially
oscar-winner when they do release it
with the English dub I now ask movies
that were released this weekend there
was just one and carnate typically
nothing gets released this weekend right
after Thanksgiving because people for
everyone's doing shopping you know
they're still recuperating from their
thanksgiving shenanigans
you know and also there's enough air for
them to go you know there is Hollywood
being nice to each other being like go
see someone else another Studios movie
comes to my movie
no come on we'll give you another chance
because we know there maybe you might
have missed something right
so within carnate though I think aaron
eckhart you know probably says ah de
niro and Hopkins make it look easy being
a paycheck actor but aaron eckhart
certainly a paycheck actor on a on a
lower scale and he is collecting a
paycheck so I'm sure he has a very nice
house now this is another Jason Blum
smash-and-grab these movies are very
cheaply this one-shot cost us five
million although i don't think anybody
be surprised to hear that i feel like i
did like to let go to aaron eckhart but
anyway they've tried to experiment with
the release strategy here with high top
releasing although I'm be like why
bother to experiment high-top can't
launch anything but you know they did
something like mostly digital
advertising try to keep them the budget
way down and they were like maybe maybe
we've discovered a new way to release
movies and no they didn't ask for the
top 10 overall the best holds were
arrival and hacks are rich arrival
falling just a little over thirty six
percent its fourth week and hacksaw a
little under 39-percent and its fifth
week both very good for them with awards
season it makes them look great
keeps them in the headlines that means
people are checking out the film's
word-of-mouth obviously is very healthy
so they're hoping to have that turn into
you know awards buzz so far i have to
say arrivals gotten a little bit haven't
seen a lot for hacksaw as you know
Critics Association etc begin to release
their their picks for the year and that
kind of signals how the voting is going
to go then a lie though that did not
have good hold you remember everyone
last weekend when it came out was like
oh don't worry adults will find it and
it has awards buzz none of that's
materializing the movie costs 85 million
to make it is only 53 million worldwide
so far totally bombed in China where
Brad Pitt supposed to be a big star and
I think this is just really bad timing
for Brad Pitt speaking of the actor
because of course it comes right after
the whole situation with angelina jolie
a number of people of course they all
had heard him
I still don't think it hurt him i think
this movie was poorly advertising things
poorly conceived
and I think it's also gonna look that
good and I think of brad pitt is
depressed or just looking for something
to do because he has a lot of free time
now because he doesn't have a family
anymore basically sadly i hope that
things work out i would advise them to
throw all of his time into getting that
world war z sequel going because he
really needs that to do to re-energize
his career as it did the first round is
still the most successful movie he's
ever made
then back to award season Jackie debuted
in five meters was with a 55 thousand
per theater average that's solid enough
for not for a nomination
I don't know about a win but I don't
know about a win for Jackie either i'm
starting to see people started to turn
on it
I New York one came on the other day and
I saw their film panel just absolutely
trashing it except for one lone guy was
defending it
I am having a problem even making myself
go to see it just seems so horribly
pretentious so I think it might have
actually peaks during festival season
and it's going to maybe lose a lot of
momentum something also starting it is
that Isabel uh huh Burt 4l has
tremendous momentum everybody's picking
her for best actress of the year so far
so I think that she's probably gonna get
it she doesn't have a win and she
doesn't even have a nomination for the
Oscars so they love that makes her a
great candidate important already won so
that will actually works against her
also for award season the two
frontrunners continue to be
manchester-by-the-sea and moonlight
tremendous momentum
everybody loves these two movies
manchester-by-the-sea expanded its a
theater count it got to number 11
knocking at the door the top 10 it's
riding the buzz quite well that's how
you ideally want to release the film you
don't go from limited to wide during
awards season and I'm listen and also
this is very exciting because this is a
roadside attractions for amazon and they
are doing a fabulous job this is the
kind of thing you usually see for focus
or fox searchlight do so to see these
new players be able to pull it off is
pretty amazing also low light it might
have crusted in terms of buzz it's
number 14 never got to the top 10 but it
might have done it already needed to do
because it is getting a lot of not
nominations and awards already but if
its effects Crested and it starts to not
do so well it isn't a financial six
is that could be the difference between
nominations and wins i ask this coming
weekend lala land arrives another huge
orders contender it's finally starting
to get some wins peep some people are
naming a best-picture who was looking
kind of bad there for a while
everybody just talking about
manchester-by-the-sea moonlight but
it'll debut again in five theaters and
then for wide releases on miss Sloan
will go wide
that's trying to you know fight during
awards season it's not going so well
that's from Europa core Lucas honest
company roadside attractions and Amazon
doing a great job releasing a film in
the state's Europa core not so much and
then office Christmas party is a big
release they're pushing it so hard the I
mean you can't say you didn't know that
it was coming out because the ad
campaign has been really in your face
covered Entertainment Weekly Saturday
Night Live jennifer aniston showed up
over the weekend they are really working
hard but their only expected to get a 17
million-dollar opening which would I
think likely mean that marijuana or
fantastic beasts lovely mawana could
maybe still be number one next weekend
but it also puts it right the same
ballpark is almost Christmas which opens
15 million a few weeks ago I think
office Christmas party's gonna do a
little better because again people will
be just starved for a movie at that
point it's holiday-themed it looks kinda
funny from the trailers but if it
doesn't do well if it really only does
points17 that's just like a really you
know jason bateman better be happy there
could probably make Zootopia too because
that would not be but that would not
bode well for his film career or
actually the film crews of anyone
involved at least TJ Miller has the
Deadpool franchise so what are you
planning to see this coming weekend we
can write your thoughts down below
thanks so much for going over the box
office with me and you can check out
some more videos right now
