This is the first time in the pandemic that there are three big Hollywood scenes doing great work (Top Gun: Maverick is the third). As a result, total domestic revenue reached $ 166 million, which is only down 18 percent from 2019 (usually, this gap was much larger). However, it is not clear whether the ticket chart has recovered enough to support so many products. Lightyear was expected to reach the top of the chart with an opening of 70 to 85 million dollars. In contrast, the spinoff Toy Story reached a disappointing $ 51 million from 4,255 theaters. While this is a steady number for the COVID-19 era – as well as the biggest pandemic opening for a family animated film – Lightyear’s launch is still disappointing, as it bears the famous Pixar logo. Abroad, Lightyear earned $ 34.6 million from its first 43 acquisitions of $ 85.6 million worldwide. Chris Evans shouts the iconic Space Ranger in the origin story, which marks Pixar’s return to the big screen after seeing several of its animated family films heading straight for Disney + due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lightyear serves as a test for the strength of the family market, as the box office continues to recover. The animated film currently has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 78 percent, which is definitely at the bottom for a Pixar offering, especially for the Toy Story franchise. The audience, however, gave him an A-CinemaScore. Amblin’s Universal and Jurassic World Dominion remained at No. 1 with $ 58.7 million from 4,679 locations for a 10-day domestic record of $ 247.8 million and $ 622.2 million worldwide (it’s only the seventh Hollywood title to surpass $ 600 million at the time of the pandemic). Internationally, it earned another $ 76.1 million for a foreign $ 372.4 million. The total amount of China now amounts to 92.8 million dollars, making the film one of the top Hollywood releases of the pandemic. A disappointing note: Dominion fell 60 percent domestically, a bigger drop than the last two dino movies. Monday is a federal holiday in honor of the Juneteenth, so Monday could be more like Saturday and Sunday in terms of cash flow. Universal experts believe that the domestic total of Jurassic World 3 could reach up to 68 million dollars for the four days. The light year should also see a boost on Monday. Skydance: Maverick’s Paramount and Top Gun remained a formidable force in their fourth weekend. The water cooler sense dropped just 15 percent to $ 44 million for a home total of $ 466.2 million as it flies for $ 500 million. Abroad, it earned $ 39.7 million from 64 purchases for a global profit of nearly $ 900 million or $ 885.2 million. At the special box office, British comedian Brian and Charles opened at $ 830,000 from 279 theaters for a lukewarm average of $ 711 per location, despite winning the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Focus Features acquired the film from Sundance for a sensible prince, according to insiders. More follow. June 19, 8:35 am Updated with revised estimates for the weekend.
