DM2 is now over $800 million world wide and Fast and Furious 6 still has a change to get there also but its probably going to take a couple more weeks.

BoxOfficeMojo thinks DM2 can reach $900 million. I hope it will achieve that.
We Are The Millers Doing really good. If this continue, it has a shot at $150 million!

Decent for Riddick, that is if the advertising costs aren't too large. We're the Millers has another great hold ( 27% ) with that number,and is on track to reach around $145M in NA alone with a $37M budget.

That,along with The Conjuring ( currently at $134.5M with a $20M budget), accounts for a profitable summer for Warner Bros.

I just wish I could say the same for Sony.

Riddick did pretty good considering its budget is less then half of the first movie and its rated R unlike the first one which was PG-13 which allows a narrower audience.

That movie came out of nowhere to gross $20 million dollars since its mostly in Spanish its probably very popular in areas that have a large latino population its also the reason why its not showing on a lot of screens.  It has a chance to outgross Pan's Labyrinth and become the highest grossing domestic Spanish language movie.



Farsala on 11 September 2013

Riddick should make that budget back, no idea about marketing.

I know Ecuador a is small and irrelevant market, but the new DBZ movie premieres next week and I think it could have the highest opening of all time here. (Currently Iron Man 3 - 1.4 Million)

I just thought it could be interesting, as that trend will definitely NOT spread worldwide.

Are you saying there is a Dragon Ball Z movie coming out^?

It released eariler on the year in Japan, and will come out in here next week.

I don't think it will release in 2013 in the U.S, though. It's called DBZ: Battle Of The Gods.

Hmm.. Does it have the same cast that was in the last Dragon Ball Z movie? There was another movie right? Did mediocre in the States, but really well overseas if I remember correctly.

It's animated.

It did an acceptable 30M in the Japanese box office. The other one wasn't so hot here either but this one is already sold out and it's being hugely advertised.

I suppose time will tell.
