Hi there Disney friends,
I wanted to take a break from Disney travel information to talk to you about this weekend's box office (of course from a Disney perspective. I will get back to travel information next post.
This weekend's box off numbers are in and Disney did not have any films in the top 10. Star Wars: The Last Jedi fell just outside of the top 10 (#11 to be exact) by grossing over $4.1 mil and Coco was #20 with a weekend box office total of just shy of $1.5 mil. All in all, 23 films crossed the $1 mil threshold for the weekend.
Currently, SW: TLJ is #9 on the all time highest grossing worldwide films and has an outside shot at making it to #8, but will need a little over $30 mil to get there. Coco currently stands at #105 on the same list, but still has 5 countries left to open in and one of those is Japan (Mar 16.) Barring some unforeseen events, Coco will break into the top 100. In terms of being in the top 10, the House of Mouse may be on a break until February 16 when Black Panther hits theaters.
That bring us to the merger edition part of this weekends update. Some people question whether Disney's merger with Fox (or actually the acquisition of some parts of 20th Century Fox) would be worth it financially but with Fox's 4 films (Maze Runner: The Death Cure, The Greatest Showman, The Post, and The Shape of Water) accounted for 50% of this weekend's box office.
Thank you spending your time reading my posts.
