Maverick' អាចនឹងឆ្លងផុត $1 ពាន់លានដុល្លារ

In holdover news, the big story was again the remarkable legs shown by Skydance and Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick. It earned $50 million in its third domestic weekend, dropping just 44% for a $393 million 17-day total. That essentially ties it with Rain Man ($172 million in 1988/$395 million adjusted) among Tom Cruise’s biggest inflation-adjusted domestic grossers. And កំពូលកាំភ្លើង ($176 million in 1986/$440 million adjusted) isn’t far behind for the top spot. That $50 million gross is tenth among all weekend three grosses, with eight of the other nine all belonging to films that opened above $200 million. The tenth is Avatar, which earned a still-record $68 million in weekend three after a $77 million debut and $75 million second-weekend gross. Still, I imagine James Cameron is either sweating or relishing an unexpected challenge. The $170 million legacy sequel has earned $393 million domestic thus far.

That puts it days away from passing $400 million domestic and វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែកក្នុងពហុវណ្ណៈ ($398 million after a $5 million domestic weekend) as the year’s biggest domestic earner. That will make it the second-biggest domestic grosser of the Covid era behind Spider-Man: គ្មានផ្លូវនៅផ្ទះទេ ($804 million from a $260 million debut in late 2021). Among other obvious factors (holiday legs, white-hot buzz, generational nostalgia, etc.) the Marvel/Sony flick benefited from a lack of tentpole competition (and no awards season breakouts in early 2022). Top Gun: Legacy has the buzz and the nostalgia, along with strong reviews and quite a bit of business for irregular moviegoers, the sort that usually only show up for a film like អ្នកលបបាញ់អាមេរិក or តណ្ហារបស់ព្រះគ្រីស្ទ. That demo, along with everything else working in its favor, is partially why the drops have been so low.

The leggiest $100 million opener remains Shrek 2 which earned $108 million from a $128 million Wed-Sun debut and legged out to $441 million domestic in the summer of 2004. The leggiest “opened on a Friday” opener remains ស្ត្រី​អស្ចារ្យ which earned $412.5 million from a $103.5 million debut five years ago. Top Gun: Maverick has already earned 3.11x its $126 million Fri-Sun debut and 2.45x its $160.5 million Fri-Mon Memorial Day weekend launch. It could very well become the leggiest “opened on a Friday” $100 million-plus opener if it reaches $508 million (and the leggiest period if it passes $515 million) but ស្ត្រី​អស្ចារ្យ will keep the “no holidays” asterisk. The closest comparison is Sam Raimi’s មនុស្ស​ពីងពាង, which opened with $114 million, dropped 37% in weekend two and 36% (against សង្គ្រាមផ្កាយភាគទី ២ ៈការវាយប្រហាររបស់ក្លូន) in weekend three and eventually earned $403 million.

That’s 1.4x its $285.5 million 17-day total, which would give Top Gun: Maverick a $555 million finish. That may be hyperbole, but A) the raw grosses and small drops have been hyperbolic and B) there are almost no big live-action tentpoles left (Thor: Love and Thunder, Nope and kinda/sorta Elvis និង រថភ្លើងគ្រាប់កាំភ្លើង) for the rest of the summer. The Joseph Kosinski-directed film has earned $747 million worldwide, putting it ahead of every Tom Cruise movie save (for now) បេសកកម្ម: មិនអាចទៅរួច - ការធ្លាក់ចុះ ($792 million). It earned another $52.7 million overseas this weekend, giving it a $102.7 million global weekend. A “normal” rate of descent from this point would give it a final cume of around $500 million domestic and $960 million worldwide. South Korea (June 23 and where the last three បេសកកម្ម: មិនអាចទៅរួច movies earned $40-$50 million) could push it past $1 billion.

In other holdover news for the weekend, Doctor Strange នៅក្នុង Multiverse of Madness has earned $398 million domestic and $930 million worldwide. It’s still the year’s biggest global grosser and may remain so no matter how far Top Gun: Maverick soars in North America. Of note, just because អ្នកប្រយុទ្ធ បាំងមុខ បេសកកម្ម៖ មិនអាចទៅរួចទី ២ in terms of pop culture zeitgeist in the summer of 2000 didn’t make the Tom Cruise sequel ($215 million domestic and $545 million worldwide) any less of a smash. For that matter, មនុស្ស​ពីងពាង topped domestically in 2002 but ended below Harry Potter និងអង្គជំនុំជម្រះអាថ៌កំបាំង។ និង ម្ចាស់នៃចិញ្ចៀនអាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍: អគារពីរ worldwide for the year. Anyway, a វេជ្ជបណ្ឌិតចម្លែក sequel earning $930 million, 37% more than its predecessor without that extra $100-$150 million from China, is a remarkable accomplishment and a reaffirmation of Marvel’s global popularity.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ។ sits with $189 million domestic and $397 million worldwide, meaning it’ll eventually crawl past $400 million global and the likes of សត្វអស្ចារ្យ: ឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មនៃ Grindelwald និង មិនអាចដឹងបាន. ទីក្រុងបាត់ has earned $185 million global on a $70 million budget, meaning the Sandra Bullock/Channing Tatum rom-com adventure is profitable in raw theatrical revenue. Oh, and A24’s គ្រប់​ទី​កន្លែង​ទាំង​អស់​នៅ​ពេល​តែ​មួយ។ earned another $1.271 million (-37%) despite arriving on EST (“priced to buy” digital) this past Tuesday. The $25 million Daniels-directed fantasy (produced by, among others, AGBO) has earned $63 million domestic (behind only បុរសទំនេរ និង ទីក្រុងបាត់ among live-action Covid-era originals) and $86 million worldwide. Differing overseas distribution studios aside, it’s now past តំណពូជ ($81 million) to be A24’s biggest global earner. Oh, and it’s currently #1 on iTunes and YouTube, so it’s got that going for it too.
