'The Mandalorian and Grogu' has already lost the number 1 spot at the box office. It has been replaced by the cheapest horror movie of the year

Probably at Disney they didn’t expect that The Mandalorian and Grogu would end up being the most “yes, but the truth is no” movie of the year. Light years away from what was expected and grossing, by far, less than any other movie in the saga, it currently holds at 167 million dollars, but that figure will likely not withstand the attack this weekend from Backrooms and the following ones at the start of the summer season. But the absolute humiliation came this Wednesday. This is (not) the way This Wednesday, the movie intended to be one […]

Probably at Disney they didn’t expect that The Mandalorian and Grogu would end up being the most “yes, but actually no” movie of the year. Light years away from what was expected and grossing, by far, less than any other movie in the saga, it currently stands at 167 million dollars, but that figure is unlikely to withstand the onslaught this weekend from Backrooms and the following ones at the start of the summer season. But the absolute humiliation arrived this very Wednesday.

This is (not) the way

This Wednesday, the movie intended to be one of the blockbusters of the year has fallen under its own weight. And its replacement at number 1 has been none other than Obsession, the obsession (ha, ha) of the year in the horror genre. It cost only 1 million dollars and has already grossed 90 worldwide, potentially reaching much, much more. That’s what you call profitability.

In fact, it is one of the few movies in modern history that, instead of declining week by week, has increased its revenue. Specifically, the 5.6 million raised on Wednesday is 75% more than last week. The question is whether it will be able to continue facing, week by week, the blockbusters that will be coming, especially considering that Blumhouse apparently wants to release it right now on VOD, which would be one of the worst moves in the history of the modern industry.

It is clear that to succeed in today’s cinema, sometimes you have to take risks. It’s no longer as simple as putting the name of a saga and a number, and expecting the fans to come. You have to be creative: Do you want to multiply your money? Do a lot with very little. Nothing to lose, so much to gain! Let Hollywood executives engrave this in their minds.

The most controversial movie of the year surpasses 600 million dollars

Few controversies have generated more debate this year than Michael, by Antoine Fuqua, but it seems that hasn’t stopped the public from talking. With 611 million dollars at the box office, the film has managed to dethrone Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ as the fourth highest-grossing biopic in film history. Although Gibson’s film was undoubtedly more profitable. With just a 30 million budget, the 610 million it made at the box office is more impressive in context than the 200 million budget that Michael had. The king of pop, also of […]

Although Gibson’s film was undoubtedly more profitable. With a budget of just 30 million, the 610 million it made at the box office is even more impressive in context than the 200 million budget that Michael had.

The King of Pop, also of the Box Office

It is far from achieving higher rankings beyond that. The third place is held by the Chinese film Hi, Mom, by Jia Ling, which grossed just over 840 million, and to reach the second and first places, it would have to surpass Bohemian Rhapsody and Oppenheimer, which earned 910 and 975 million dollars at the box office respectively.

None of this takes away from Michael, who is one of the great phenomena of the year. Well positioned as the fourth highest-grossing film of the year—only behind Pegasus 3, Project Hail Mary, and Super Mario Galaxy: the Movie—it has been a spectacular commercial success. Although not critically. Receiving numerous attacks for the partial and very unaware representation of the artist’s image and legal issues, creating a mythologized image of him.

In any case, it doesn’t seem to matter much to the public and fans. And given Michael’s success, it is to be expected that future biopics of artists will continue to seek to hide their dirty laundry to ensure they offer exactly what, it seems, audiences want today: a triumphant representation of the idols they adore.

The Mandalorian and Grogu see how their release date approaches and analysts predict a resounding failure

Star Wars returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu, and analysts do not expect it to be a big success. Forecasts suggest it could have an initial box office of 80 million dollars in its first four days, a very good figure, but absolutely disastrous for a Star Wars franchise film. Especially considering that no franchise release has dropped below 100 million dollars, even those considered failures. A franchise that operates on different levels.

Star Wars returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu, and analysts do not expect it to be a big success. Forecasts suggest it could have an initial gross of 80 million dollars in its first four days, a very good figure, but absolutely disastrous for a Star Wars franchise film. Especially considering that no franchise release has dropped below 100 million dollars, even those considered failures.

A franchise that operates on other levels

The least successful case for Star Wars so far has been that of Han Solo: a Star Wars story, which made 103 million dollars in its first four days. Although it made an acceptable box office of almost 400 million dollars worldwide, a production filled with problems and virtually no enthusiasm from fans led to it being an unmitigated failure for Disney.

In contrast, the last movie released on these same dates, the live-action film of Lilo & Stitch, was an absolute success. Making 182 million dollars over the same four-day holiday weekend, this is the figure they would aim to achieve with Star Wars, given the popularity of The Mandalorian over the years, which has turned both the titular character and Grogu, the wrongly named Baby Yoda, into some of the most popular characters in the franchise.

At Disney, they are confident that they can reverse these numbers before the upcoming May 22, the official worldwide release date of the movie. But perhaps both the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, after all these years, have simply lost the appeal they once had with the audience.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' has found a worthy rival in the box office with Michael Jackson, and no one knows who will win

This year is a great year for movie theaters, yes, but studios must be pulling their hair out because, despite the success and profits, there is still that movie missing that surpasses 1 billion dollars. Last year, Ne Zha 2 broke that barrier very early, but in 2026 the competition is much more measured. And right now, at the box office, there are two movies competing to see who rakes in more tickets: on one side, The Devil Wears Prada 2. On the other, Michael.

Last year, Ne Zha 2 broke that barrier very early, but in 2026 the competition is much more measured. And right now, at the box office, there are two movies competing to see who rakes in more money: on one side, The Devil Wears Prada 2. On the other, Michael. And it is very difficult to guess who might come out on top when their run is over.

The Devil Wears Jackson

On one hand, Meryl Streep’s movie has already grossed 433 million dollars in just a week and a half, far surpassing what was earned by its first part (and its budget, of course). And, for now, it has a completely clear outlook until the arrival of The Mandalorian and Grogu, so it can continue racking up millions as if nothing happened. The 1 billion mark is out of the question, because in fact it has its great rival right in front making “Hee-hee!”.

Michael has demonstrated the audience’s hunger for musical biopics of great stars (especially if they are Michael Jackson, of course) and it has already surpassed 577 million worldwide. Although it may not reach the box office of Bohemian Rhapsody (which made 910 million worldwide), it can already be considered an overwhelming success, and in fact, the only question is what its ceiling is.

Honestly, the movie I would have liked to see leading this race is The Detective Sheep, which is exactly what is most missed in the current lineup, but one doesn’t always get what they want. In a world without innocence, there were too many talking sheep and not enough moonwalks and brand suits, apparently. Oh.

'Mortal Kombat II' has delivered a fatality to the box office and will soon surpass the total earnings of the first part

After experts predicted the end of cinema in recent years, 2026 has come to show that it’s all a matter of perspective, because practically all the major films that have been released have turned a profit. It seems that Hollywood has cracked the complex formula to please the audience (which consists of, well, giving them what they want to see) and now even sequels to lesser films like Mortal Kombat have managed to come out more or less unscathed from the accumulation of releases. That’s no small feat. Box office punches Just on Friday, Mortal Kombat II managed to earn a more than decent 17 million […]

It seems that Hollywood has cracked the complex formula to please the audience (which consists of, well, giving them what they want to see) and now even sequels to lesser films like Mortal Kombat have managed to come out more or less unscathed from the accumulation of releases. That’s no small feat.

Box Office Punches

Only on Friday, Mortal Kombat II managed a more than decent 17 million dollars at the box office, and made the projections (that is, the magic numbers that analysts handle) rise from 35 to 41 million in its opening weekend just in the United States. It cost 80 million and will need about 200 to turn a profit, so it’s still early to ring the bells, but it’s doing much better than everyone expected. Come on, it has delivered a fatality to all expectations.

In other words: in just one day, Mortal Kombat II has almost surpassed what the first installment made in a weekend (23 million), although it is also true that the previous movie, even released during the pandemic, was available simultaneously on HBO Max. Do you remember that nonsense that did terrible damage to theaters from which they are only now recovering? Well, let’s see the power of the franchise today. In principle, in a couple of weekends it should have surpassed the total earnings of that one.

For its part, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has not managed to repeat number 1 and on Friday it dropped to 9.8 million dollars, although it remains to be seen if it will lose over the weekend, which will depend exclusively on Mother’s Day, which is this Sunday. What is clear is that going to the movies is back in fashion, even if millennials are reluctant to go.

Sylvester Stallone had terrible jealousy of an actor with whom he ended up collaborating very closely

Sylvester Stallone, one of the most iconic actors in cinema, is famous for his portrayal of the boxer Rocky Balboa, a character that transformed his career and catapulted him to fame. Among the installments of the franchise, Rocky IV holds a prominent place, where Stallone faces the formidable Ivan Drago, a Soviet antagonist played by the impressive Dolph Lundgren. This film has become a classic that resonated both with critics and at the box office.

Among the installments of the franchise, Rocky IV holds a prominent place, where Stallone faces the formidable Ivan Drago, a Soviet antagonist played by the impressive Dolph Lundgren. This film has become a classic that resonated both with critics and at the box office.

A man who stands out in everything

Rocky IV, released in 1985, grossed over 300 million dollars worldwide, establishing itself as the highest-grossing installment of the saga. In Spain, the film attracted more than 2 million viewers, generating revenue equivalent to 3.8 million euros. This popularity is attributed not only to the intensity of the conflict between the characters but also to the memorable performances of Stallone and Lundgren.

However, the first meeting between Stallone and Lundgren was not very friendly. In recent statements, Stallone revealed that upon meeting Lundgren, he felt jealous of his physique and intellect, describing him as “almost a robot” due to his imposing height of 1.96 m and his academic background as a chemical engineer graduated from MIT. This mix of admiration and competition seemed to motivate Stallone to deliver a standout performance, elevating the film to new heights.

After the success of Rocky IV, Stallone and Lundgren have collaborated on several occasions, appearing together in five additional films, including The Expendables and Creed 2, where Lundgren reprises his role as Drago, this time guiding his son Victor in the world of boxing. The professional relationship between both actors has evolved, leaving behind any initial grudges.

This success is split between $80.5 million generated in North America and $60.4 million coming from 82 international markets, highlighting the wide recognition the film has achieved worldwide.

The first big success of the year

Ryan Gosling, known for his versatility in film roles, plays a science teacher who faces the monumental task of saving the planet. This casting choice may attract diverse audiences, from science fiction fans to the actor’s followers, which has likely contributed to the high box office numbers at its premiere.

The box office performance of Project Hail Mary not only ensures its financial success but also sets a precedent for future science fiction productions looking to combine engaging entertainment with complex stories. The blend of action, scientific elements, and the emotional narrative surrounding Gosling’s character seems to have resonated with viewers, which is evident in the film’s strong performance internationally.

With such a strong start, the movie positions itself as one of the most relevant of the year. Expectations for the following weeks are high, as the audience continues to show interest in this epic tale in space. Moreover, some analysts suggest that the film could exceed initial projections if it maintains its appeal among audiences over the next few weeks, particularly in the international market. Undoubtedly, Project Hail Mary has taken off, and its trajectory at the box office will be closely monitored.

Sharks that Dominate the Box Office

The sequel, Megalodon 2: The Trench (2023), directed by Ben Wheatley, brought in $398.5 million at the global box office. In this installment, an expedition to the ocean floor turns into a scene of chaos when the sea monster returns to sow terror among the characters. Both films are available on Netflix, offering nearly four hours of uninterrupted action for genre fans.

Fast & Furious continues to be Statham’s most lucrative franchise, accumulating over $7 billion in total, while The Expendables ranks third with over $840 million. On the horizon, the actor has the premiere of his next movie, Shelter: The Protector, scheduled for March 27, 2026. This new project has caught the attention of critics, receiving praise from prominent figures like Stephen King, who describes it as “fantastic.” The combination of action and an intriguing narrative promises to attract both Statham’s followers and movie lovers in general.

The Bride! has been such a box office failure that it could lose up to 80 million dollars

The movie The Bride!, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, has had a disappointing global premiere, earning only $13.6 million in its opening weekend. Of this amount, the domestic market contributed $7.3 million, which represents a notably low performance compared to other productions in the industry. This result not only marks a failure in terms of box office but also interrupts Warner Bros.’s streak of nine number one openings, which had enjoyed continuous success in recent releases.

The movie The Bride!, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, has had a disappointing global premiere, grossing only $13.6 million in its opening weekend. Of this amount, the domestic market contributed $7.3 million, which represents a remarkably low performance compared to other productions in the industry. This result not only marks a box office failure, but also interrupts the opening streak of nine number one films from Warner Bros., which had enjoyed ongoing success in recent releases.

A movie that has failed in every aspect

With an estimated production cost of $80 million, the situation becomes even more concerning for the studio, as the revenues suggest a significant loss compared to the investment made. This debut has been received as a complete rejection by the public, who have shown little willingness to support Gyllenhaal’s innovative approach to the classic novel of Frankenstein, which includes unexpected twists and a notable cast.

The film, which reimagines the story of the Frankenstein monster from a female perspective, has the potential to be viewed with more appreciation in the future as its critical and audience repertoire develops. However, the disappointment is palpable, as initial results suggest that The Bride! could be one of the biggest flops of the year. Audience acceptance will be crucial in the coming weeks, as inadequate box office performance could impact Gyllenhaal’s career as a director.

The film will gross over 88 million dollars in 41 international markets since its release, marking the best start for an original film from the company to date. This box office performance not only reflects a strong interest from the audience but also a clear preference for stories that combine adventure and endearing characters.

Pixar, riding the wave of success

The initial success of Hoppers could strengthen Pixar’s position in the competitive market of original animated films. As more studios attempt to replicate the successful sequel model, Pixar has maintained its focus on creating original content, and the results seem to be paying off. With this revenue, the film not only stands out within Pixar’s current catalog but also sets an encouraging precedent for future original projects that may be in development.

Moreover, the presence of talking animals in cinema reinforces a cultural trend that seems to have no end. Movies like Hoppers demonstrate that audiences continue to seek stories that emotionally connect through non-human characters, using humor and fun as vehicles to explore deeper themes. In this context, the success of Hoppers is a clear indicator that the path ahead for Pixar could be promising, and industry analysts agree that we can expect more innovative narratives that blur the lines between human and animal in animation. In fact, it surpasses other proposals like ‘¡La Novia!’, which will have to settle for half of its box office.
