The TERRIFIER movies have collectiely made more than $100 million worldwide. If you told someone that was going to happen three years ago, they would have laughed at you. Absolutely insane.

[ryanscottwrites]

Was Glicked, the double bill of GLADIATOR II and WICKED, quite as big as Barbenheimer was? No. Was it still a welcome double bill for the industry at large with valuable lessons? Oh yes. My thoughts for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

WICKED obliterated box office expectations with a $114 million opening weekend. Just about everything went right for this one. I break it all down for Slash Film.

In my latest weekly horror box office breakdown for Fangoria...

- VENOM 3 overtakes BEETLEJUICE 2 worldwide

- HERETIC holds well despite losing half its screens

- TERRIFIER 3 is now in the global top 50 for 2024

- And more!

20 Years Ago, Colin Farrell Led A Box Office Flop Of Historic Proportions

[ryanscottwrites]

MOANA 2 is tracking to have a huge opening over Thanksgiving next week. How big? We *might* be talking INSIDE OUT 2 big. Yes, really. I break it down for Slash Film.

A second STAR WARS movie was recently taken off of Disney's release calendar in 2026. That means we are getting just THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU that year. That is a very good thing. I explain why for Slash Film.

GLADIATOR II is opening in U.S. theaters Friday. The good news is that it's already off to an excellent start at the box office overseas. It's very expensive and still has a long way to go, but things are looking promising. I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

It's very easy (and understandable) to look at RED ONE and call it a flop. Is it a hit? No. Is it responsible moviemaking? Certainly not. But it's also not really a flop, taking the entire picture into consideration, in my view. My thoughts for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

New thing!

I'll be doing a weekly write up for FANGORIA going over what happened with horror at the box office. That begins today...

HERETIC and SMILE 2 both benefitted from a lack of new horror offerings, despite The Rocks RED ONE rolling into town.

In this week's Tales from the Box Office for Slash Film, I look back at STAR TREK: GENERATIONS 30 years later. It was a big crossover that came with all of the benefits - and consequences - of such things.

[ryanscottwrites]

GLADIATOR II is very expensive. It's also opening against WICKED. It needs to make a lot of money to be a hit. Is that possible? I take a look at the numbers for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

The needle keeps pointing up for WICKED and its box office prospects. We're looking at a *massive* hit here. I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

RED ONE hits theaters next weekend. It's astronomically expensive, but it was also paid for by Amazon, which complicates matters. Is this the hit The Rock needs? Can it even be a hit? I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

Clint Eastwood's JUROR #2 smells like it could be a box office success. Instead it's being dumped by Warner Bros. Why? I tried to make sense of it for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

Both WICKED and GLADIATOR II are tracking for huge box office debuts. Is this Thanksgiving going to give us Barbenheimer part 2? I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA was unquestionably a box office disappointment. It also, apparently, still turned a profit, even if it was a very tiny profit (relatively speaking). I tried to make it make sense for Slash Film.
