'The Batman' រកចំណូលបាន 360 លានដុល្លារ ខណៈ 'Sonic 2' រកបាន 80 លានដុល្លារ

The Batman, starring Robbert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, earned another $575,000 on Tuesday, up 4% from Monday and down 41% from its previous Tuesday. That brings its 40-day domestic total right up to $360 million. That’s just above the inflation-adjusted grosses of Batman ត្រឡប់ (៧០០ លានដុល្លារនៅឆ្នាំ ២០១៩) និង រ៉ូប៊ីនហ៊ូដៈព្រះអង្គម្ចាស់ចោរ។ (២៣០ លានដុល្លារក្នុងឆ្នាំ ២០០២) ។

Budgets notwithstanding (the Batman sequel cost $80 million while the Kevin Costner actioner cost $50 million), they both made near-identical domestic earnings but the Kevin Reynolds-directed adventure flew past the Tim Burton sequel overseas, earning $390 million worldwide versus $267 million.

I bring this up because both films were considered controversial in their respective summers due to comparatively violent content and “family unfriendly” sexual innuendoes, yet both were among the most successful superhero movies of the post-រឿង Batman, មុនមនុស្ស​ពីងពាង សម័យ។

ព្រះអង្គម្ចាស់ចោរ, which I still absolutely adore, remained the second-biggest grossing non-sequel superhero flick (behind រឿង Batman’s $411 million total) right up until ម៉ាទ្រីស ($465 million in 1999). By the time អ្នក​ប្រយុទ្ធ opened in May of 20112 (19 years later), ព្រះអង្គម្ចាស់ចោរ was still the sixth biggest non-sequel superhero movie, behind only មនុស្ស​ពីងពាង (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), មនុស្ស​ដែក (១៧៧,៨ លានដុល្លារ), ម៉ាទ្រីស (២១ លានដុល្លារ) ធ (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង រឿង Batman (៤ លានដុល្លារ)។

ទន្ទឹមនឹងនេះដែរ រ៉ូប៊ីនហ៊ូដៈព្រះអង្គម្ចាស់ចោរ។ still grossed less worldwide in the early 1990s than Costner’s The Bodyguard (១៤១ លានដុល្លារ) និង រាំជាមួយចចកខ្មៅ ($424 million). This offers further evidence that Hollywood’s current comic book superhero domination wasn’t so much naturally generated so much as slowly forced-fed to us even as other kinds of films dominated the domestic and global box office.

What kind of Hollywood would we now have if Hollywood reacted to the $609 million gross of 'Mamma Mia (or even the $624 million gross of Will Smith’s Hancock) as much as they did the $585 million global gross of មនុស្ស​ដែក? Hollywood and the pundits who cover it spent years trying to explain away the “fluke” success of The Twilight Saga. The $829 million global gross of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part II still towers over the likes of The Amazing Spider-Man, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, Wonder Woman និង Batman.

Hollywood reacted to អ្នក​ប្រយុទ្ធ by assuming everyone only wanted superheroes within cinematic universes. Now Hollywood got its wish, as the industry is almost entirely reliant on superheroes or video game characters who want to be superheroes.

និយាយពីអ្វីដែល Sonic the Hedgehog 2, starring Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey, earned another $5.05 million on Tuesday, 29% from its $4.33 million Monday and bringing its five-day domestic total to $81.5 million and around $160 million worldwide. The $110 million sequel will crack $100 million on late Friday or early Saturday. I’m currently using កុង: លលាដ៍ក្បាលកោះ ($168 million domestic from a $61 million debut this weekend in 2017) as a comparison point, and so far it’s pretty close.

A run like កោះលលាដ៍ក្បាល will give it a $199 million domestic. If it’s that close, I see Paramount doing double-features with Sonic 2 និង ទីក្រុងបាត់ (which just topped $70 million while placing second for the day ahead of មូបារ៉ាស។) to get the former over $200 million and the latter Sandra Bullock/Channing Tatum flick over $100 million. Shenagins they may be, but it’s for a good cause!

If Sonic 2 is only as leggy as (the surprisingly good) ៣០០ ៈការកើនឡើងនៃចក្រភពមួយ ($107 million from a $45 million debut in 2014), it’ll end with $171 million. That’ll be way past the $144-$148 million likes of Detective Pikachu, Uncharted និង Sonic កាំប្រមានេះ to be the biggest-grossing video game movie ever in unadjusted domestic earnings.

Anything over $155 million puts it second in adjusted grosses behind only Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider ($131 million in 2001/$212 million adjusted). A drop like កោះលលាដ៍ក្បាល និង / ឬ Rise of an Empire (over/under 55%) would give it a $33 million weekend and $122 million ten-day cume. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a smaller drop as word-of-mouth is excellent and J.K. Rowling’s សត្វអស្ចារ្យ ៣ is the kind of coin toss that could open with $50 million or $33 million.

Moreover, even if the Jeff Fowler-directed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ។ drops hard(er) in weekend two, I’d expect a recovery as it’s still the first big “explicitly for kids” flick since ច្រៀង ២ last Christmas and, depending on if DreamWorks’ (allegedly quite good) មនុស្សអាក្រក់ opens well on the 22nd, the last of its ilk until ពិភព Jurassic: Dominion and Pixar’s Lightyear នៅពាក់កណ្តាលខែមិថុនា។

មូបារ៉ាស។ is a non-entity and I’m guessing អាថ៌កំបាំងរបស់ Dumbledore will (at best) play only to the Wizard World fans, leaving Sonic 2 as the only tentpole in town at least until Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 2. If my spawn are any indication, Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick isn’t kid-specific competition for Sonic 2. Meanwhile, Jared Leto’s Morbius will pass $60 million domestic tomorrow as អរ nears $140 million worldwide.
