شباك التذاكر الصيفي يتجنب كارثة
September 5, 2024 - بلغت إيرادات شباك التذاكر الصيفي لعام 2024 نحو 12.5 مليار دولار - بانخفاض بنحو 42% عن الصيف الماضي عندما غذّت إيرادات فيلما باربي وأوبنهايمر موسماً سينمائياً بلغت إيراداته 21.5 مليار دولار.
According to Screen International, “Inside Out 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the 2015 Disney-Pixar animated film, earned $650.8 million domestically and $1.7bn worldwide, making it the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
The rest of the biggest box office hits released since Memorial Day (May 27) were sequels, including “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Despicable Me 4,” and “Dune: Part Two.” These three moves earned $1.24bn domestically and $2.89bn worldwide.
The well-reviewed “Furiosa” was the first big box office flop of the summer season, making just $67.5m in the U.S. and Canada and $172.8m worldwide.
“Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter 1,” the first film in Kevin Costner’s planned four-part Western saga, failed both at the box office and with critics. Despite a reported $100m production budget, the film has grossed just $36m worldwide.
Oscar-nominated Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which opened the Venice International Film Festival on August 28, looks set to make an $80m-plus domestic opening next weekend.
“There’s no doubt the summer box office is going out on a higher note than it began,” says analyst Daniel Loria of Box Office Pro. “In this industry, there’s always an ebb and flow.”
