It wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if Fast 9 makes a gazillion dollars-it’s a blockbuster perfectly calibrated to celebrate, and be enriched by, the theatrical experience. If Fast 9’s early international box office haul is any indication, audiences are absolutely ready to embrace the brash spectacle of cars attached to rocket engines at the movies. But certain films simply demand to be watched on the biggest possible screen, and those are the ones resurrecting theaters. Things aren’t necessarily returning to “normal”-home viewing remains a popular alternative after being the only sensible option in 2020.
Maybe an Oscar-season reissue can push it over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($191m) to make it Paramount’s biggest non- M:I and non- Transformers movie since Star Trek into Darkness ($229m) and World War Z ($202m) in the summer of 2013.With more Americans getting vaccinated and tentpole releases finding some life at the box office, theaters are back-at limited capacity, but back all the same. A Quiet Place is now, unadjusted for inflation, the biggest-grossing live-action original since Gravity earned $274m domestic. The choice to slot the Tim Miller-produced video game adaptation into the same slot as James Bond 25 is that Paramount thinks it’s somewhat likely that the next 007 film might be getting delayed after all.Ī Quiet Place 2 is now opening in the key pre-Memorial Day weekend slot in summer 2020, Top Gun is now a major late-June 2020 offering and Paramount’s two late 2019 franchise-starters are essentially switching places on the release calendar. 8 and the Tim Miller-directed/James Cameron-produced Terminator revamp from Nov. Paramount is switching around its November 2019 slate, now opening Sonic the Hedgehog from Nov. In terms of Top Gun 2, I loathe the idea of a Top Gun sequel but utterly loved director Joseph Kasinski’s Only the Brave. We’ll see, in 2020, which one of the two qualifies as an “event film.” On the plus side, if Top Gun 2 underwhelms, it’ll probably have another Mission: Impossible sequel arriving in summer 2021. Chu-directed musical adaptation of In the Heights. It also puts it a month out from Top Gun 2, which will now open on June 26, 2020, against WB’s the Jon M. That puts it right alongside WB’s Scooby Doo “redoo” and one week before WB’s Godzilla vs. Worst case scenario, they spend maybe $30m and “only” make around $220m and still make off like bandits.Īt least they are waiting two years and giving it a prime release date. We can debate whether the world needs a sequel to the dynamite thriller/family melodrama, but when a $17 million flick with at least some sequel potential earns $188m domestic and $332m worldwide (more than any Conjuring flick), it is almost financial malpractice for the studio not to go for another round. That means, inflation aside, A Quiet Place is the biggest-grossing wholly original live-action flick since Gravity nearly five years ago.
overseas, earned $188.02m in North America. That late 2014 release, which was distributed by Warner Bros./Time Warner Inc. That means, inflation notwithstanding, that the Krasinski-directed flick about monsters who can sense any amount of sound has earned more than Paramount’s own Chris Nolan sci-fi original Interstellar. The John Krasinksi/Emily Blunt horror flick, which rode rave reviews and white-hot buzz to a whopping $50 million debut weekend this past April, has now earned $188.024m. The other big news is that Paramount has officially slated a sequel to their blockbuster original A Quiet Place.
