La taquilla de verano evita por poco el desastre

By Duncan Mil

September 5, 2024 - El ingreso de taquilla de verano 2024 alcanzó $12.500 millones – casi 42% menos que el verano pasado cuando “Barbie”, una comedia de fantasía de Greta Gerwig, y el drama “Oppenheimer” de Christopher Nolan alimentaron la temporada de $21.500 millones, entre mayo y agosto.

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.”
