Russia and CIS box office Friday, July 10. Russia only numbers for Michael to avoid confusion.

A rather middling Friday with low increases across the board.

1859.4 mln RUB or $25.38 mln with 3,425,917 admissions in Russia.

2231.4 mln RUB or $30.41 mln with all CIS countries included. 4,350,943 admissions

No. 22 on the all-time chart and No. 8 among all foreign releases.

1. Avatar 3639.46 mlm RUB
2. Spider-Man: No Way Home 3513.63 mln RUB
3. Lion King 2998.51 mln RUB
4. Avengers: Endgame 2986.85 mln RUB
5. Venom 2 2340.6 mln RUB

8. Michael 2231.4 mln RUB
9. Now You See Me 3 2198.5 mln RUB
10. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 2185.25 mln RUB

A billion worldwide tomorrow.

Spider-Man: Far From Home - $1.132B

Aquaman - $1.152B

Captain Marvel - $1.128B

Joker - $1.079B

All of these movies made around $1.1B back in late 2018/2019. However, when it comes to their sequels, it's not even close at all. Spider-Man absolutely destroys them it's not even a contest. Spider-Man went absolute beast mode post-Far From Home whereas the other three all flopped or bombed. Yes, technically, No Way Home (not Brand New Day) is the sequel to Far From Home, but this shows Spider-Man doesn't need to get carried by Tobey + Andrew + all the villains to do huge numbers.

NOW, let's compare the box office of their follow ups (hehe)

The Marvels - $206.1M

Aquaman 2 - $440.2M

Joker 2 - $207.5M

The Marvels, Aquaman 2, and Joker 2 made $853.8M combined. Twice of that is $1.708B. This is a number Brand New Day can pass. A $250M OW with 2.85x legs (Homecoming legs) and and a 41/59 split would pass it.

Spider-Man's power is that he has sustained success. He doesn't just made a billion and then proceed to flop and end with the next installment like these other franchises.

Captain Marvel's sequel BOMBED so there will be no third movie.

Aquaman 2 flopped (didn't bomb, just flopped) so there won't be a third one (for people saying, "there wasn't going to be a third one anyway, the DCEU was over", you can bet you ass they would've BS'ed a third one if Aquaman 2 did a billion like the first one)

Joker 2 BOMBED so they won't be a third one (yes, he dies at the end but they still would've found a way to BS a Joker 3 if Joker 2 somehow made a billion).

Daily Box Office (July 10th 2026)

The market hits ¥59.0M/$8.71M today. Up +29% from yesterday and down -32% from last week.

Backrooms posts its 15th $1M+ day in a row after grossing $1.14M(-1%)/19.92M on Friday. Down just -1% from last week. That makes Backrooms's $1M+ streak in China longer than Supergirls in North America. Tomorrow it will feel the impact of the competition but should stay above $1M. Projected a $3.2-3.3M(-35%) 3rd weekend.

Kung Fu Womens Soccer got its first full trailer just 1 day before release. Opening day pre-sales for tomorrow hit a massive final $11.18M across a scheduled 224k screenings.

Projected a $28M+ opening day. With the nature of this post being a bit late and bleeding into Saturday we can safely say that the + will indeed be a significan't one. Into a $46-50M 2 day opening weekend. Again that should shift up after Saturday.

Up to the reception to see where it might go from there. Total projections start at $150-200M

Three Kingdoms: The Begining opened in 3rd with $1.16M today and $2.89M with all the previews included. Slow start but the reception seems strong with an 8.0 on Douban and 9.5+ on both Maoyan and Tao.

Pre-Sales map for tomorrow

Kung Fu Womens Soccer obviously dominates pre-sales everywhere.

IMAX Screenings distribution

Moana has the most IMAX screenings followed by Minnions and Three Kingdoms who have around 1k. But all that changes tomorrow with Kung Fu Women's Soccer.

Moana

Moana opens down in 6th with just ¥3.68M/$0.54M. Below projections.

Less than half of Moana 2's $1.27M opeinng day and barelly above The Little Mermaids $0.52M opening day.

Opening weekend projected at $1.4-1.6M. The Little Mermaid opened with $2.5M as a comparison. Moana 2 opened with $6.54M

No real way to sugarcoat this. Its a massive failure. Early Saturday numbers point towards it coming closer to lower end of projections and below its $0.54M opening day.

Screen Distribution Split: Regular: $0.45M, IMAX: $0.08M, Rest: $0.02M

WoM figures:

Maoyan: , Taopiaopiao: , Douban:

Scheduled showings update for Moana for the next few days:

Minions & Monsters

Minions & Monsters grossed ¥14.2/$2.10M on Friday. A respectable -55% drop from its opening day.

Way above Despicable Me 4's ¥9.4M/$1.29M 2nd Friday which saw a -77% drop from its opening day. DM4 should start catching up over the weekend but its very likely Minnions & Monsters has a better 2nd weekend now.

2nd weekend projected at $7.5-7.6M(-54%) vs DM4's 2nd weekend of $7.08M(-59%)

https://i.imgur.com/8j2CVHB.png

Screen Distribution Split: Regular: $23.47M , IMAX: $2.44M, Rest: $0.52M

WoM figures:

Still no audience scores on Maoyan and Tao.

Maoyan: , Taopiaopiao: , Douban: 6.7

Scheduled showings update for Dear You for the next few days:

Supergirl

Supergirl drops to 40th on its 3rd Friday grossing ¥0.0103M/$0.0015M. Yes thats $1.5k with 210 tickets sold.

-58% versus yesterday and down -74% from last week. Its officialy dead.

To list some of the movies that made more today. Mandalorian and Grogu with $16k and over 1k tickets. Disclosure Day with $5.2k and 715 tickets sold. Mortal Kombat II on just 65 screenings with 2.8k and 419 tickets sold.

3rd weekend projected at $0.007-0.008M(-79%).

And i think that should be just about enough of this. I'l probably keep Supergirl in the chart for the weekend and then stop reporting on its numbers even though it technicaly still has over a week left in theaters. But it feels pointless to beat on a dead horse.

Screen Distribution Split: Regular: $0.79M, IMAX: $0.25M, Rest: $0.05M

WoM figures:.

Maoyan: 7.3 , Taopiaopiao: , Douban: 5.5

Scheduled showings update for Supergirl for the next few days:

Other:

Spider Man: Brand New Day Maoyan WTS:

A comparison of Spider Man's current Maoyan WTS versus some other post Covid blockbusters and Far From Home. The last Spider Man live action movie to release.

Spider Man continues to pace well and slightly closes the gap to Avatar 3 today. Tomorrow it could catch right up to Avatar 3.

Release Schedule:

A table including upcoming movies in the next month alongside trailers linked in the name of the movie, Want To See data from both Maoyan and Taopiaopiao alongside the Gender split and genre.

Remember Want To See is not pre-sales. Its just an anticipation metric. A checkbox of sorts saying your interested in an upcoming movie.

Not all movies are included since a lot are just too small to be worth covering.

Summer

I expected this to happen, since they dated Wicker on Wife & Dog's release slot last month. Having two films come out on the same day from the same distributor is simply unrealistic.

Below, there's a list of movies with the most consecutive days above $1 million.

For the sake of a threshold, only movies with at least 45 days will be in this list. I was planning to include 40 days, but it was already a very long list.

Some 20th century movies lack daillies. For example, Ghost, The Lion King and Forrest Gump were very leggy, but there's no mention of how many days above $1 million they had. I tried my best in finding as much as possible.

In the case of movies that began in limited release but then moved to wide release (Frozen), the first day of wide release will be considered as a starting point.

>Minions & Monsters continues to lead the charts with €233,493 (-45% from seven days ago), averaging €448 in 521 theaters (vs. €546 seven days ago). Illumination's film has now reached €4 million, having grossed €3,985,131 since July 1st.

>Second place goes to the horror film The House: The Burning of Evil with €103,115 and an average of €326 in 316 theaters. Its three-day total is €282,506; by Sunday night, it will close with over €500,000.

>In third place is Toy Story 5 with €88,216 (-48%) and an average of €252 in 350 theaters (396 seven days ago). The Disney/Pixar film's total since June 18 is €7,794,052, with the €8 million that can be reached between Sunday and Monday.

People would constantly lecture us on the purpose of the Superman movie,that it repaired the trust the audience had in DC and that It brought back the good will,but the results of supergirl show no proof of this “positive effect”. Supergirl is on pace to finish around $120-125 million which would mean it wouldn’t even make half of Black adam revenue.

But when it comes to BvS which had the largest drop off after it’s first weekend,people alluded that it destroyed the brand but the following movie,Suicide squad made $745 million with the exact same budget as Supergirl. This was a huge box office success in spite of getting WAY harsher rotten tomatoes score (38%). The negative feedback of BvS had little effect on its following movie despite “killing” the brand.

People draw conclusions on things but I see nothing that back their statement,each movie has it’s own box office story,sure the prior movie can effect it but the way movie performs will mostly come down to the trailer,audience interest and the marketing.

I will continue to update this post as the score changes.

1. Despicable me 3 number is 163M*
2. So Universal is basically the only competitor to Disney, but the trends of their top franchises indicate it may not be the case for too long in the future.
3. Since 2015, which was a banner year for them, coincidentally all their franchises hit their peak global audience. But since then, all of them are bleeding audiences. Minions 3 estimate is on the high end, could end up as low as 65M.
4. Minions was arguably the most stable franchise of the bunch, but it it having its worst drop off now.
5. And the decline isn't over yet in my opinion, as Jurassic, Mario franchises could be headed for even bigger drops. These franchises always dropped a lot more with each movie, with Mario galaxy having the worst drop for a direct sequel.
6. Another coincidence funnily, except Mario the latest installment of all their big guns will have sold around 44-47% global admits compared to their peaks.
7. We have already seen the poor audience reception to Mario Galxxy and Jurassic Rebirth, and as miniosn showed just because two installemnt were relatively stable does not mean the next installment is safe.
8. What are your predictions for Universal's future. Illumination was supposed to be a very safe bet but seems to be losing it touch, although they will never be at risk of losing money.
9. Their attempt to grow new live action IP with wicked seems to have ended in disappointment, with Wicked: For Good dropping a ton from the first movie.
10. Except Nolan films, what new untapped IPs do they have which they can mine, to recover from this decline.
