The Meg Box Office: The Giant Shark Movie Blows Expectations Out Of The Water

The Meg Box Office: The Giant Shark Movie Blows Expectations Out Of The Water

As of last week, it looked like Jon Turteltaub's The Meg was in trouble. Box office estimates came in, and made it very clear that the film would have to make a ton of money overseas because it looked like American audiences were mostly going to ignore it. It turns out those estimates were wrong. Not only is the giant shark movie a hit, but it's made nearly twice as much as prognosticators estimated last week. Check out the totals and the rest of the Top 10 in the chart below, and then join me after for analysis!

Reports a few days ago suggested that The Meg would ultimately make between $20-22 million in its opening frame, but as you can see above, they were way, way off. Instead, the blockbuster managed to successfully double those estimates, and make a total of $44.5 million in its first three days. It was way more than enough to take the top spot at the box office away from Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible: Fallout, even though the action film has continued to perform well, and only dropped about 43.4% since last week. All together now, thanks to a strong $97 million made in foreign markets, the film has maanged to make $141.5 million worldwide, which already exceeds the project's reported $130 million budget. In short, it looks like Warner Bros. has a legitimate hit on their hands.

Exactly why The Meg is hitting as big as it is remains kind of a mystery, however, as there isn't really anything out there statistics-wise that would suggest this kind of success. Professional film critics are totally split on the shark film, with half of them willing to lean into the campiness and silliness, and the other half dismissing it out of hand. Audience reactions aren't exactly overwhelming either, as it has only earned a modest "B+" from CinemaScore. When you factor in the number of huge movies we've already seen in 2018, it's kind of a wonder that people are buying tickets for The Meg en masse - but apparently folks are very interested.

The other big new release this week was Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman, which also brought it a whole lot of business - despite being out in fewer theaters than all other titles currently in the Top 10. The film got a modest release, hitting a little more than 1,500 theaters on Friday, but it was definitely a successful move, as the film has claimed the Number Five spot and successfully made more than eight figures. Unlike the case of The Meg, the joint is actually being hailed as one of the best films we've seen so far in 2018, and has earned not only a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but also an "A-" from CinemaScore. It should go without saying that the money made is well-deserved, and it should be recognized that this is a film that we are going to continue to hear a lot about in the next few months as we get closer and closer to awards season.

That definitely won't be the case for Sylvain White's Slender Man, which finally made its way to theaters this weekend following a series of delays. Back in June it was reported that there were some serious behind-the-scenes issues going on with the project, and now people are starting to understand why. It was successful enough to grab the fourth spot in the Top 10, but you really shouldn't expect it to stay on the chart long. Despite the fact that we are currently experiencing an industry-wide genre renaissance, the movie got totally decimated by critics, and audiences definitely don't seem to be loving it either.

Sadly not doing quite as well is the third new release of the week: Ken Marino's Dog Days. There was very little expectation that the new movie would do a whole lot of business, especially given the competition, but it's certainly unfortunate that it couldn't do better than 12th place and a $2.6 million haul (which explains why you don't see it on the chart above). The film has earned enough positive reviews to be deemed fresh, and also got an "A-" CinemaScore, but people quite simply aren't buying tickets.

As we continue to make our way through August, we have another big week for you coming up, including the early debut of Jon M. Chu's Crazy Rich Asians (set to drop on Wednesday), as well as the action-thriller Mile 22 and the Ice Age story Alpha. Be sure to come back next Sunday to check out the full Top 10 and check out how things have shifted.

How Video Games Will Continue To Play A Vital Role In Wreck-It Ralph 2

How Video Games Will Continue To Play A Vital Role In Wreck-It Ralph 2

In case it wasn't obvious from the title, Ralph Breaks The Internet is a sequel that will break away from the setting of its predecessor. While Wreck-It Ralph was entirely embedded within the world of arcade games, the upcoming follow-up will take heroes Ralph and Vanellope into the World Wide Web and websites like eBay and OhMyDisney. If you're concerned that the movie is leaving its roots behind, however, you shouldn't sweat it, as co-director Rich Moore is still promising a key part for video games to play, starting with Game Central Station:

Well, it definitely colors their 'small town.' We will see a lot of those characters that we met in the first one as citizens of their little town that they live in. That's the place that Ralph loves. So it's definitely an aspect of it.

Back in early August I joined a group of reporters on a trip to Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California for a behind-the-scenes look at Ralph Breaks The Internet, and throughout the day learned all about the world-building behind the upcoming sequel. After multiple presentations, however, I noticed that one aspect of the film not really being discussed was the video game element -- so I brought the subject up later in the day when I had the opportunity to sit down with directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston and producer Clark Spencer.

Considering the amount of incredible world building featured in Wreck-It Ralph, it would have been crazy for the new movie to totally move past it -- and the good news is that it isn't. Litwak's Arcade is where the story begins, reuniting us with not only Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) but the various residents of their games, Fix-It Felix and Sugar Rush.

Of course, the leads ultimately wind up going from Game Central Station to the internet, but it should be noted that the gaming side of things doesn't stop there. In case you didn't know, online games are a pretty big thing, and Phil Johnston confirmed that the characters will be involved with it after being transported through the router -- though he couldn't say too much about the subject at the time. Said the filmmaker,

There is this whole huge plot of online gaming that we didn't talk about today that we will talk about soon - but that's a massive part of this story, is online gaming.

Since August we have heard about a couple of developments with Ralph Breaks The Internet, with one of the most significant being the introduction of the driving game Slaughter Race and its lead character, Shank (voiced by Gal Gadot). It's a very different environment for Vanellope von Schweetz, who is primarily used to driving cars through gumdrop mountains and over chocolate lakes, but the footage that we've seen from the film so far suggests that she will have no problem adjusting to the new, tougher atmosphere.

Going back to the metaphor that he introduced earlier, Rich Moore put it simply:

It's kind of gaming in their little town, and then gaming in the big city.

You can take a gander at the world of Slaughter Race in the most recent trailer for Ralph Breaks The Internet -- though be warned in advance that it looks like the game is going to be at the center of a serious and sad conflict between Ralph and Vanellope, threatening their relationship with real possibilities for the young driver's future:

If you're like us and super excited for Ralph Breaks The Internet, the best possible news we can offer at this point is that the movie is almost here. Disney will be releasing the animated sequel in theaters on November 21st -- and be sure to be on the lookout between now and then for more about the film here on CinemaBlend, as we'll have more interviews coming with the stars and filmmakers.
