Its domestic total hovers at $142.7 million after three weeks of release.Īs it stands, “Encanto” should bring in $40 million over the five-day holiday (much less than other, pre-pandemic Disney animated offerings such as “Frozen 2” and “Ralph Breaks The Internet” have managed over the same period). Marvel and Disney’s “Eternals” rounded out the top five, coming in behind the fourth place-finishing “Resident Evil” sequel with $1.6 million. It was the second highest-grossing film on Thursday and topped the box office last weekend. They were greenlit in much different circumstances and carry massive budgets, which has left even the year’s highest-grossing films fighting to hold their head above an ocean of red ink.Īnd Sony’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” netted $5.4 million on the holiday to bring its stateside haul to $63.3 million. That’s been a recurring problem for movies in the age of coronavirus era. It only cost $25 million to produce, so it doesn’t need to be a world-straddling box office colossus to turn a profit. The film, which centers on a band of survivors trying to outlast a zombie outbreak (ah, that old chestnut!), was a rather modest affair. Sony’s “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City,” a reboot of the long-running horror series, earned $1 million on Thursday, pushing its domestic gross to $3.5 million. They have largely steered clear of dramas and awards contenders such as “Belfast,” “King Richard” and “Spencer,” despite the glowing reviews that accompanied the release of those movies.
Since the pandemic upended the movie business, audiences have only shown an interest in going back to multiplexes to watch big action films or superhero flicks. If “House of Gucci” continues to put up impressive numbers, it will be in defiance of recent trends. Both “Encanto” and “House of Gucci” have significant price tags - the family film cost a reported $120 million to make, while the fashion drama had a $75 million budget.
