'Doctor Strange 2' រកចំណូលបាន 800 លានដុល្លារ ខណៈ 'អ្វីគ្រប់យ៉ាង គ្រប់ទីកន្លែង' បំបែកកំណត់ត្រាថ្មី A24

Marvel និង Walt Disney's វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែកក្នុងពហុវណ្ណៈ earned another $31.6 million (-50%) in its third domestic weekend, bringing its 17-day total to $342.1 million. That puts it above a deluge of recent big-deal superhero movies (sans inflation), including ថោៈរ៉ាហ្គនណារ៉ាក់ (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), មនុស្ស​ដែក (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), Deadpool 2 (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), អាណាព្យាបាលនៃទូរស័ព្ទ Galaxy នេះ (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), អាហ្គាម៉ា (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), Joker (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង Spider-Man 3 ($336 million). It’s going to still end up becoming the least leggy MCU movie ever, behind even អាមេរិកប្រធានក្រុម: សង្រ្គាមស៊ីវិល (១២៨ លានដុល្លារពីការចេញលក់ដំបូង ៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង ស្ត្រីមេម៉ាយខ្មៅ ($183 million/$80 million, Disney+ Premiere Access availability aside. Nonetheless, I’d partially chalk that up to the deluge of fans who showed up on opening weekend expecting a mythology episode.

You had the “got to see the big event flick” audience in the first three days, and now you’re just dealing with audiences who were fine with a ប្រធានក្រុមអាមេរិច ៣ ឬ វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែក 2. Marvel and Disney sold Sam Raimi’s stand-alone, straight-forward sequel as a big-deal MCU event, which is where some of the dissatisfaction has arisen. Oh well, they’ll have to make do with decent reviews and a domestic total over/under $400 million (depending on how much of a bump it gets over Memorial Day weekend), which will be 72% jump from វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែក ($232 million). It’ll also be higher than the $390 million cume of អាណាព្យាបាលនៃទូរស័ព្ទ Galaxy វ៉ុល។ ២ ។ And, yes, it’ll likely pass Batman ($370 million) next weekend to become 2022’s biggest domestic grosser.

The $200 million Benedict Cumberbatch/Elizabeth Olsen fantasy has already passed Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz’s The Batman worldwide, with $461.1 million overseas cume and $803.2 million global total. Presuming a normal rate of descent, we’re looking at a domestic total of around $406 million and a global cume of over/under $950 million. That is terrific for A) “just a វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែក sequel” and B) an MCU tentpole that won’t receive help from business in China (which would have likely added $100-$150 million in pre-Covid times), Russia and Ukraine. If អាមេរិកប្រធានក្រុម: សង្រ្គាមស៊ីវិល showed a solo MCU flick could play like an Avengers movie if constructed as one, ពហុវណ្ណៈ showed it need only be sold as one. Let’s see how Thor: ស្នេហា & ផ្គរលាន់ performs being sold as “just a good MCU sequel.”

In other multiverse movie news, A24’s អ្វីគ្រប់យ៉ាង, គ្រប់ទីកន្លែងទាំងអស់នៅពេលតែមួយ has earned another $3.16 million, plunging a whopping… uh… 6% in its ninth weekend. The Daniels’ acclaimed and buzzy action-comedy has now earned $52.26 million domestic, passing Adam Sandler’s ត្បូងមិនកាត់។ to become A24’s biggest domestic earner of all time. It’s also pennies away from passing Ridley Scott’s ផ្ទះហ្គីជី ($53 million) to top every single one of last year’s Oscar-season hopefuls save for (if you count it) Dune ($108 million). Yeah, the Michelle Yeoh/Ke Huy Quan/Stephanie Hsu flick is now likely to be a major Oscar contender simply by being A24’s top offering when the time comes. If it keeps earning over/under $3 million for the next few weeks, well, $60 million looks like the floor now.

With the caveat that A24 is a domestic-centric distributor, អ្វីគ្រប់យ៉ាង, គ្រប់ទីកន្លែង has now earned at least $61 million, behind only ពន្លឺ​ព្រះចន្ទ (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), របស់ Lady បក្សី (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង តំណពូជ ($81 million). It still has a chance at passing those three by the end. While the film arrives at home on June 7, the strong legs shown by everything from កន្លែងស្ងាត់មួយភាគ ២ ទៅ ច្រៀង ២ shows that need not be a fatal obstruction. As far as competition, there frankly isn’t much during a not-so-packed summer. As noted yesterday, June 3 has zero new wide releases (all due respect to អ្នកមើល និង ឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មនៃអនាគត). There are just four weekends all summer (Memorial Day weekend, June 24, July 15 and August 5) with more than one big wide release newbie.

I could easily envision a scenario where អ្វីគ្រប់យ៉ាង, គ្រប់ទីកន្លែងទាំងអស់នៅពេលតែមួយ continues to earn around $2-3 million per week for the next month as an official weekly social event for those treating this flick as a culturally and demographically specific event movie. Again, the comparisons (final grosses aside) that come to mind are The Sixth Sense, The Greatest Showman និង អាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍ក្រិកធំខ្លាញ់របស់ខ្ញុំ, all of which just kept going and going not unlike James Cameron’s កប៉ាល់ទីតានិច for the first three months of 1998. The $25 million flick has struck a chord with an overlapping handful of demographics, and its continued box office strength is an absolute miracle in these streaming-centric and opening weekend-focused times. I look forward to seeing Hollywood learn many wrong lessons (“Audiences love multiverses!”) from its success.
