Infinity War និងជិត $700 លានដុល្លារ

នៅក្នុងមិនមែន -ស្រែក ($13.35 million on Friday for a likely $35-$45 million MLK weekend) box office news, Belle opened in 1,350 theaters yesterday, including some IMAX auditoriums, courtesy of GKIDS. Mamoru Hosoda’s acclaimed, buzzy animated feature, a kind of Internet-specific take on ភាពស្រស់ស្អាតនិងសត្វ, earned $542,000 yesterday for what will likely be an over/under $1.95 million Fri-Mon gross. That’s not mind blowing, but those who wanted to see this in a theater are at least getting a week or so to do so. I’m probably seeing it tonight with the kids, so I’ll report back tomorrow. And since that was the only other newbie of note (India’s Bangarraju will earn around $246,000 this weekend as I patiently wait for អរ to pop back up on the release slate), let’s move on to Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ. 

Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ lost the top spot last night, which is normal for the recent super-duper December openers (we can’t all be Avatar). Speaking of Avatar, the competition poised by ស្រែក’s opening is on par with Denzel Washington’s សៀវភៅរបស់អេលី, which earned $38 million over the Fri-Mon frame in 2009 while Avatar remained tops in weekend five with $54 million. Nonetheless, ផ្ទះគ្មានផ្លូវ (which opened 3.3x times bigger over its $260 million Fri-Sun debut) held firm against real competition, earning another $5.15 million (-37%) for a new cume of $683 million. That puts it, sans inflation, just above Avengers: សង្គ្រាម Infinity ($679 million) to make it the fifth-biggest domestic grosser of all time behind ខ្លារខិនខ្មៅ (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), Avatar (២១ លានដុល្លារ), Avengers: Endgame (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង សង្គ្រាមផ្កាយ: កម្លាំងដាស់ (៤ លានដុល្លារ)។ 

We’re probably looking at a $21.5 million (-35%) fifth-weekend gross and a $26.75 million Fri-Mon haul, putting it past $700 million and past ខ្លារខិនខ្មៅ by Sunday or Monday with an eventual $704 million 32-day domestic cume. That’ll put it in fourth place on the all-timer’s club and past the inflation-adjusted totals of Knight ដោយងងឹត (២១ លានដុល្លារក្នុងឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៤ / ១០៥ លានដុល្លារកែសម្រួល) និង Thunderball ($65 million in 1965/$700 million adjusted). Once it passes ខ្លារខិនខ្មៅ (715 លានដុល្លារកែសម្រួល), ពិភពលោក Jurassic (២១ លានដុល្លារក្នុងឆ្នាំ ១៩៧៤ / ១០៥ លានដុល្លារកែសម្រួល) និង អ្នក​ប្រយុទ្ធ ($623 million in 2012/$720 million adjusted), it’ll be the ninth-biggest tickets-sold movie over the last 30 years. It also could, emphasis on “could,” be over $1.6 billion worldwide by Monday night. So, rank doesn’t matter here and both Spider-Man 3 កំណែ 2.0 និង Scream 5 are both winners.  

សកល និងការបំភ្លឺ ច្រៀង ២ បន្តជា នៅថ្ងៃស្អែកមិនដែលស្លាប់ ទៅ Spider-Man: No Way Home របស់ Titanic, earning another $3.76 million (-32%) despite being available on PVOD for the last week. That sets the jukebox musical up for an $8.56 million (-26%) fourth weekend, a $11.42 million holiday haul and a $122.5 million domestic cume. It’ll leapfrog ជិះទូកព្រៃ។ (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង បុរសទំនេរ ($122 million) to become the tenth-biggest grosser of 2021. Sony’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife ($126.4 million after a $1.02 million Fri-Mon weekend) is next in its sites as it passes $200 million worldwide. បុរសរបស់ព្រះមហាក្សត្រ grossed $630,000 (-31%) on Friday for a $2.39 million (26%) weekend and $2.92 million Fri-Mon holiday haul. The World War I-set prequel will have $29.285 million on Monday, or about what រង្វង់មាស earned in two days. 

របស់សកលលោក 355 នេះ was a non-starter last weekend, earning just $4.8 million despite boasting an all-star “Film Twitter loves them” cast. The Jessica Chastain/Lupita Nyong’o/Penelope Cruz/etc. ensemble actioner earned $660,000 (-62%) on Friday for a likely $2.39 million (-48%) weekend and $2.87 million holiday gross. That’ll give Simon Kinberg’s star-driven original a mere $8.95 million domestic cume. អាមេរិកាំងក្រោម continued to live up to its title, with a likely $1.86 million (-20%) fourth weekend, $2.27 million Fri-Mon gross and $21.737 million domestic cume. ភីហ្សា Licorice continued to stick it out, with a likely $920,000 (-6%) Fri-Sun weekend and $1.18 million Fri-Mon weekend in just 772 theaters. That’ll give MGM’s leggy dramady a $9.864 million domestic cume, which isn’t half-bad (especially on a Covid curve and pre-Oscar nominations) for a star-free Paul Thomas Anderson flick.  

Steven Spielberg និង Tony Kushner's West Side Story will earn $890,000 (-35%) and $1.13 million over the Fri-Sun/Fri-Mon weekend, giving the $100 million musical a $34 million domestic cume. It’s still bigger than any awards season flick outside of Dune (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង ផ្ទះហ្គីជី ($51 million), but this it’s another “rank is irrelevant” scenario. Lana Wachowski’s ដំណើររស់ឡើងវិញម៉ាទ្រីស will earn $1.08 million over the Fri-Mon holiday for a $36.1 million domestic cume. It will be lucky to crack $8 million this weekend in China after a $2.7 million Friday and $3 million Saturday. Sony reissued Venom: សូមឱ្យមាន Carnage ចូលទៅក្នុងរោងកុនចំនួន 1,435 (+1,373) ក្នុងអំឡុងពេលវិស្សមកាលក្នុងការដេញថ្លៃដើម្បីឆ្លងកាត់ របស់ Venom $213.5 million domestic cume. Mission likely accomplished, with a $477,000 16th weekend gross and new $213.177 million cume as of Monday.
