Yeah, JW is clearly above the first Avengers now I expect Furious 7 to be slightly above the first Avengers movie once its final numbers are released. Its odd that box office mojo stopped tracking the daily domestic numbers for Furious 7 after JW's first weekend.

Not really, this happens when 2 very big movies from the same studio , which is Universal in this case, release one after another. Universal simply gave away all of Furios 7's screens to JW at the moment of the latter's release. The studio itself also stopped trying to track Furious 7 because it had already done all the money it could've squeezed out of the audience and wasn't doing significant numbers anymore.

It's still odd since Cinderella is still getting accurately tracked and at this point I'm pretty sure its even in less theaters then Furious 7 seven since it got released before it (both are on their discount theater run). 


Disney extended Cinderellas' run. UNiversal didn't do the same for Furious 7. It's not just about tracking, it's about which studios extends their movies run/increases their screen counts. Disney added hundreds of more screens to Cinderella when it was already dying out so the movie could go past 200m. So tracking for Disney movies will always be longer since Disney tends to increase screen counts of their movies near the end of their run. A great example is Avengers. The movie was tracking to end at less than 618m domestically but Disney extended its run and added a whopping 1700 screens which added 5m more to the movies gross.

Well the last day both movies still where tracked together by box office mojo May the 25th Furious 7 was still in a ton more theaters 1,653 versus 356 and even right now I'm pretty sure Furious 7 is still playing in more discount theaters then Cinderella.  Checking on imdb Furious 7 is still playing in 3 theaters nearby and Cinderella only 2.

That's because DIsney is still providing numbers for the movie. It's not BOM, The numbers or any other box office sites that tracks numbers. It's the studios. If the studio doesn't give anything then these box office trackers won't have anything to update.

Seems like Sony bet on the wrong horse with Pixels. Adam Sandler just doesn't bring the crowds like he used to.

It'll do well enough for being horrible. The (deserved) stigma against Sandler is just growing, so yeah, his superstar days are definitely over.

 

Ant-Man is, to be honest, performing rather badly (for being an MCU movie). I mean, 68% drop? With the rather low opening it had, it's not looking good. Kind of a shame though, I enjoyed it, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him in The Avengers: Civil War. He should have some very cool action sequences there, he definitely has potential for that at least.

Jurassic World estimates are in and The Avengers has officially fallen!

 

$623.8m domestic (I expect 624m+ actuals)

$917.7 international (I expect around 917-918m actuals)

$1.542b+ Worldwide 

 

Actuals are pretty much assured to be even higher so...

Congratulations, Jurassic World. Not sure if deserved though. What do you guys think ?

It deserves every bit of money. I go to the cinemas to have fun and it delivered so much of it.

Not deserved. It's a silly movie that assumes that the viewer is stupid.

JW is still tracking ahead of Avatar domestically also but will probably fall below it in a week or so. Hopefully Universal will accurately track it the rest of the way since it still has a chance to pass Titanic's domestic grand total (original release and 3D re release).
