That marks a 45% drop from last weekend which is pretty solid and a better hold than the previous film, though not as good as the first. It seems like HTTYD 3 much like the second doesn't seem destined to cross over the $200M domestic line which the first one managed to, especially with Captain Marvel tracking to be a major four quadrant hit. Overseas the film continues to do well, topping $275M which is almost as much as the first film made overseas in its entire run. Overall the film is doing well if not extraordinary but it doesn't really have to. As a solid final conclusion it's just fine. I don't expect Dreamworks to beat down the door for one more spin-off or prequel any time soon, so just enjoy it folks and free to cry your eyes out you beautiful sensitive boys. Just get it out now cause the next four Dreamworks films are another animated Yeti movie, and sequels to Trolls, Boss Baby, and The Croods.A Madea Family Funeral - You may not know this but A Madea Family Funerak is supposedly the very last, truly utterly we promise final Madea film there will ever be. So do me a favor and just guess how many Madea films there are (I'm only counting films with Madea in the title). Here's the answer - 9 films. Good golly miss molly that's a lot and so it's a bit surprising that a franchise that has grossed over $500M domestic all on individual budgets of around $20M - $25M would ever end, but her puppetmaster and man with at least 7 golden toilets Tyler Perry has finally decided to call it quits with A Madea Family Funeral, which opened well at #2 with $27M.A Madea Family Funeral (cont.) - That puts it squarely in the middle of Madea openings at #4 of the pack. In an interesting twist the film was actually shot back in 2016 and was supposed to come out in 2017. But when that year's Boo! A Madea Halloween overperformed, Perry decide to try to see if there was a new angle to milk but Boo 2 underwhelmed and he decided just to hell with it, kill the old lady. One thinks that with such an epic finale there would be higher attendance but Madea films always have limited audiences that show up opening weekend and then it mostly fizzles out. And just the sheer idea that Madea could ever just stop seems absurd, like we still not believing there are actually no new episode of Law & Order proper. So as it stands this sits as another Madea film that will earn some solid money but it's still the end of an era folks. Press H to give a Hallejurah to Madea.Greta - In a shocking twist I've learned this weekend that queer film twitter doesn't make up a large percent of the population as our biblical event film that starred one of our gods was a complete bomb opening at #8 to $4.5M. That's in the bottom 150 worst openings in wide release. The film stars living demi god Isabelle Huppert and also lady we're more cool with cause of her gay drama Chloë Grace Moretz in a horror twist on the classic young person meets a wistful older person trope. It's a very odd premise and one that definitely appealed to an extremely narrow audience so why it was released wide is a bit of a confusion to me. What audiences did see it weren't too pleased with it giving a dreadful C+ score on Cinemascore so don't expect this to rise above its meager opening. It's okay Huppert stans, let's put on our 12th viewing of Things to Come and practice our hauty French accents! It will all be fine.(Final) 2019 Oscar Movie Round-Up - Last weekend was the big show that we all both don't respect yet weirdly get enraged about. And there was a lot of rage about this year's Best Picture winner, Green Book, which not surprisingly faired the best this weekend as it finally after 16 weeks crept into the top 5 at #5 with $4.7M. The film stands now at $75M domestic and it should be noted that now 44% of it's entire domestic gross has come from after it's nomination for Best Picture so expect this one to stick around as more people finally begin to discover it. However even more good news came from China where the film surprised opening with $15M which could mark a very successful run in the country. Meanwhile the much more widely not shit upon winner for best animated feature Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse used it's surprising takedown of the Disney reign of the Oscar by adding 1,661 theaters this weekend where it managed to pull in an extra $2.1M for the weekend.(Final) 2019 Oscar Movie Round-Up (cont.) - I mistakingly thought that because A Star is Born (2018) only walked away with best song it would not get a bump not realizing the incredibly steamy performance between Coops and Gaga really was the talk of the night. That plus the Oscar win helped a film expansion of almost 500 theaters and $1.8M for the weekend. Bohemian Rhapsody didn't win Best Picture but it did score the most wins of the night including Best Actor. The film added 415 theaters this weekend but couldn't quite get to the same level as Star is Born did this weekend ending with $975K. Finally, The Favourite used its surprise Best Actress win to add 450 theaters where it earned $825K. And that's all for this year's Oscar round-up. The rest is the usual carrying on till the end so look forward to the wrap ups for these and other films when they close and thanks for another great year of nerdy as hell Oscar talk.Films Reddit Wants to FollowThis is a segment where we keep a weekly tally of currently showing films that aren't in the Top 5 that fellow redditors want updates on.
