Good afternoon Disney friends,
The weekend estimates are in and it is another weekend with 2 Disney films in the top 10. That streak has been going on since the last weekend in April when Avengers: Infinity War and joined Black Panther. In fact, both Ant-Man and the Wasp and Incredibles 2 were both able to make it into the top 5.
Ant-Man grossed an estimated $28.8 mil this weekend which was good enough to take the number 2 spot. The film has now grossed a total of $132.8 mil from just 10 days in theaters. That places the film in the top 10 for the year in the domestic market. At this point in the year, Disney has 5 of the top 10 films from the domestic market. The film has also grossed a total of $283 mil from the worldwide market which places it at number 17 for the year, but still has many major markets to go (France, Germany, UK, and Japan to name a few.)
Incredibles 2 added another $16 mil this weekend, which was good enough for number 4 for the weekend (behind The Rock's Skyscraper--more about The Rock in a little bit.) The film's total domestic gross is currently at $535 mil, which places it at number 3 for the year at the domestic market. The film also stands at $856 mil for the worldwide box office this year. This makes it the number 4 film and still has South Korea, Japan, Germany and others left to go.
Avengers: Infinity War crossed the $675 mil mark this week and Black Panther is within $100k of $700 mil.
Disney also made some changes for their upcoming movies. Ralph Break the Internet dropped the Wreck It Ralph 2 part of its name. The release date for Mary Poppins Returns was moved up one week from Christmas Day this year to December 19, 2018. The Rock's Jungle Cruise got a release date of Oct. 11, 2019. Maleficent 2 will be released on May 29, 2020. Disney also announced that Indiana Jones 5 would be moved back one more year to July 9, 2021. (My personal take is that this film will either not happen or will have to be a type of reboot since Harrison Ford will be pushing 79 (his birthday is July 13, 1942) and it is hard to picture him as an action hero. There were also other changes to release dates, but many dealt with films that do not have names yet.
I hope you have a magical week and if you need any help booking a Disney vacation, please let me know how I can help.
