At the rate that they are going, I don't think either Transformers OR Joker will make the Top 20 films of the year, domestically.

Mad Max: Furiosa didn't make it.

Not good news for those movies.

By this coming weekend, the Top 5 domestically of the year will be:

1) INSIDE OUT 2
2) DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE
3) DESPICABLE ME 4
4) BEETLEJUICE
5) DUNE 2


The next "big" film coming is VENOM 3. The last one made about 210 M, so this movie might make the Top 10, but I don't think it will be in the Top 5 for the year.

I only saw the first one and that was enough for me but one can always appreciate watching a film grow into a successful series without wasting $100M in production costs.

Terrifier was made for $50K and made $416 at the box office plus it grew on streaming services.

Terrifier 2 had a budget of $250K and earned a box office of $15.7M

Terrifier 3 at $2M is currently at $30.8M and still going.

Total for the series $2.3M budget turned into $47M at the box office. Massive Hit!

Venom 3 grossed 51 M domestically this weekend, lower than expected

Venom 3 is up to 90 M domestically, which is OK but not exactly lighting the world on fire.

It will probably end up in the Top 15 of the year but not the Top 10.

The Tom Hanks film "Here" made 5 M. Reportedly it had a budget of 50 M.

Yeah every once in awhile Hanks finds himself in that weird movie that fails to connect...kinda like Cloud Atlas.

Venom not doing too bad with a $120M budget and a $320M world wide box office. Especially for the third part of a trilogy.

"Red One", a film starring Dwayne Johnson about Santa getting kidnapped, opens today. It reportedly cost 250 M to make and is not expected to be a hit.

Gladiator 2 is coming next week.

Maybe Dwayne should have a word with himself about the wisdom of doing a PG13/12A film involving Santa Claus.

Agreed! Maybe he could take some acting lessons and do a couple of indie films. I couldn't help but think of "The Night the Reindeer Died!" while watching the trailer.
