Alien: Romulus Good start, but still less franchise
After topping the domestic box office for three weekends, deadpool and wolverine The latest film has finally knocked it off its perch Foreigner Voting rights, Alien: Romulus. Although deadpool and wolverine It's in a completely different category when it comes to total box office and potential box office, see Alien: Romulus It's interesting to see the film opening stronger than initial estimates. With a budget of around $80 million, it's hard to break even Romulus is roughly between $200-260 million. In its global debut, the film earned around $108 million, which not only gives it a great start but also means that the chances of it crossing $300 million globally by the end of its run are quite good. It must be remembered that most films earn around 30% of their entire box office in global openings on average, meaning we will likely see Romulus It could top out at around $250 million (if the wheels come off) or even close to $400 million if it's able to double that next weekend, which would likely be a global total of over $200 million.
despite the fact that Alien: Romulus While performing better than initial projections, it should be noted that the film is far outpacing the two most recent domestic openings Foreigner Spin-off films, prometheus since 2012 Alien: Covenant since 2017.

deadpool and wolverine Still headed for $1.3-$1.5 billion
Although it debuted at #1 domestically, deadpool and wolverine As of this writing, the film has reached a global total of $1,142,616,895. Not only is the film holding strong week after week – especially at the domestic box office – but it is clearly on track to earn at least $600 million domestically and has a solid chance to earn around $1.3 billion globally. The film is still leading domestically, while it is still leading in other countries. inside out 2 It was at that point of its release… although, to be honest, that lead probably won’t last for another week or two, because inside out 2 It will very likely be the biggest box office film of 2024. But deadpool and wolverine There certainly won't be any ease in that fight.
Limit Decline and Guaranteed Flop
Nobody expected more than this Limit After an extremely poor opening weekend, but with these second week figures, things have gotten even worse for this extremely poorly received film adaptation of a popular video game series. With a domestic drop of around 73%, we can now estimate that the film will only earn between $30,346,053 and $42,484,474 globally by the end of its run. This means that it will likely lose +$140 million at the box office and is, therefore, well placed to join the list of the ten biggest box office flops of 2024. The only good news for distributor Lionsgate is that the production companies may have to bear the brunt of the film's financial losses. Whatever their fate, no one is going to deny that Limit It was truly a catastrophic failure.
