As the month progresses, the annual box office will receive a generous boost from this long holiday weekend. Thanksgiving five-day frame will see Disney debut in animated sequel Ralph breaks the Internet, MGM will go out punching with Creed II and Lionsgate's publication of Robin Hood will hope to steal some of the remaining loot. In addition, the reported films such as Fantastic Beasts: The Grindelwald Crimes and The grinch will add their own contributions to the bottom line.
At the top of the box office, look for Disney Animation Ralph breaks the Internet to give the studio the Thanksgiving crown for the third year in a row. Last year coconut opened an opening of $ 72.9 million over five days while the previous year Moana brought a whopping $ 82 million, the second largest five-day Thanksgiving opening of all time. In fact, Disney has ten of the first eleven Thanksgiving openings of five days and Ralph will look at his own place on the list, competing for a place in the top five overall.
Started in 4,014 theaters, Ralph breaks the Internet is already the biggest Thanksgiving hit of all time and a quick look at IMDb's viewed pages over the past two weeks shows that the pace of progression is very similar to that of coconut while going over Moana. The online ticket retailer, Fandango.com, also indicates that he is observing similar trends, the film outstripping the original. Wreck-It Ralph as well as both Moana and coconut at the same time in the Fandango sales cycle. Other good news comes to add to the critics, who are tied with the first film since it currently holds a rating of 72 on Metacritic and a good 92% on RottenTomatoes.
Disney is currently anticipating a five-day start in the high, $ 60 million, while we are looking for something a little higher, just around $ 71.8 million for the five days. The main thing that prevents us from going higher is the issue of public loyalty to Ralph franchise (the last payment dates back six years) as well as the competition as a whole, including Illumination The grinch, the old version of a week of Fantastic Beasts: The Grindelwald Crimes and even Creed II for this question, which seems to do a lot of its own.
internationally, Ralph opens its doors with North America on a handful of international markets, including Russia (Nov. 22), China and Mexico Nov. 23. Releases in the UK and Spain begin the following week with an extended rollout coming, with debuts until February.
In second place, look for an explosive start for MGM's Creed II. Early industry surveys have suggested that the film could post a performance of $ 47 to $ 53 million over five days, and we expect it to rise even higher. The first film cost $ 42.1 million in its first five days. A quick look at the display data of IMDb pages shows that the follow-up of the suites is almost identical to that of its predecessor, which is great news for a later feature.
The critics for the movie are not enough at the same level as the first, but that should not have much impact if we expected Creed II deliver more $ 54 million during the first five days of its release from 3,441 sites.
In third position is WB Fantastic Beasts: The Grindelwald Crimes, which was short of the opening weekend of its predecessor last week and, as if that was not enough, the $ 5.07 million announced Monday by the film indicated a drop of 67% by compared to the Sunday number, while the first film dropped by 63.5%. As a result, we expect a low of -53% for the second weekend. $ 29 million three days and five raw days around $ 41 million.
Universal and Illumination The grinch faces his first real competition this weekend with the release of Ralph breaks the Internetbut given the film's holiday theme, it should have lasting power. We are entering the weekend anticipating a drop of about 39% and a five-day performance $ 33 million.
To complete the top five, look for Fox Bohemian Rhapsody tdip about 28% for a $ 16 million five days as it approaches $ 150 million in the domestic market.
Outside of the top five, we expect Lionsgate to release Summit's press release Robin Hood. Starting in about 2,700 venues, the studio is planning a five-day opening for mid-to-high teens, but given the competition and incredibly bad reviews – 16% on RottenTomatoes and 33 on Metacritic – we have a difficult to expect it to reach $ 15 million over five days. The composition we are focusing on is the 2016 version of Fox Assassin & # 39; s Creed, which earned $ 17.7 million in the first five days of its release, but the awareness and anticipation of this particular film seemed to eclipse everything Robin Hood adaptation can hope. That being said, the performance of the IMDb page view Robin Hood slightly outperforming Assassin & # 39; s Creed in the two weeks before the release, but we still cover our bets and expect five days $ 14.5 million.
Elsewhere, Universal extends the output of Green paper this weekend having debuted in 25 spots last weekend with $ 320k. We had some difficult times with the comps for this one, but we finally opted for The book thief despite the difference of gender. Both films did not really explode in limited release, but were strongly supported by their studios. Overall, we see Green paper bringing around 3-4 million dollars for the three days and an overall performance of five days in the $ 5-6 million while the studio looks for a performance anywhere between $ 6 and $ 8 million.
Until Friday, Sony will extend the release of The front runner ~ 500 locations while Fox Searchlight starts The favourite in four places.
