Nonstop News:

IT WAS BUSIEST WEEKEND EXHIBITORS HAVE SEEN IN FIVE YEARS...ENDING WITH FIRST PLACE PHOTO FINISH THAT WON'T BE RESOLVED UNTIL MONDAY'S ACTUALS. WITH TWO BIG HOLDOVERS AND TWO OVER-PERFORMING OPENINGS, BROAD RANGE OF MOVIEGOERS KEPT MULTIPLEXES SIZZLING. WB/ROADSHOW ENTERTAINMENT'S "ELVIS" BROUGHT IN ADULTS WITH FOND MEMORIES OF GYRATING ROCK 'N ROLLER. ITS SUCCESS SHOULD FINALLY END WALL STREET DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER OLDER MOVIEGOERS WILL EVER RETURN TO CINEMAS. UNIVERSAL/BLUMHOUSE'S "THE BLACK PHONE" WAS MAGNET FOR 18 TO 35 YEAR. ITS SUCCESS HAMMERS HOME HOW YOUNGER AUDIENCES LOVE BEING BACK TOGETHER AT CINEMAS. MARKETPLACE REACHED $102.9M, PER COMSCORE, DOWN 37.6% FROM PRIOR WEEKEND, BUT UP 124% VS. 2021. COMSCORE'S YEAR-TO-DATE TALLY PUTS 2022 AT $3.60B, UP 260.6% FROM $999.7M LAST YEAR....
"ELVIS" PREMIERED IN MAY AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL TO ROUSING 10 MINUTE STANDING OVATION, BUT DIDN'T GENERATE SAME SIZZLE ON TRACKING. LOOKED LIKE "ELVIS" WOULD BE SINGING IN KEY OF BLAH, BUT IT KICKED OFF TIED FOR #1 WITH $30.5M AT 3,906 THEATRES ($7,808). ESPECIALLY GOOD NEWS FOR EXHIBITORS THAT 56 PERCENT OF "ELVIS" AUDIENCE WAS 35+ & 29 PERCENT WAS 55+. FOR "ELVIS," WHICH REPORTEDLY COST $85M TO PRODUCE, IT WAS GREAT START CONSIDERING IT RUNS 2:39, LOSING ONE PERFORMANCE DAILY. EXHIBITORS EXPECTED $24-28M WHILE SOME BOXOFFICE ANALYSTS WERE $35-50M. CRITICS ARE OKAY 78% ON RT BUT AUDIENCE SCORE IS HOT 94%....
PARAMOUNT/SKYDANCE MEDIA'S JET-POWERED "TOP GUN: MAVERICK" WAS TIED FOR TOP SPOT ON CHART IN WEEKEND FIVE WITH $30.5M AT 3,948 THEATRES ($7.725) -- DOWN JUST 32%. SOME MEDIA ANALYSTS THOUGHT IT MIGHT EDGE OUT "ELVIS" FOR TOP SPOT. IT'S DOMESTIC CUME OF $521.7M MAKES IT SECOND PANDEMIC ERA FILM TO GROSS $500M+ DOMESTIC. IT FOLLOWS IN GIANT FOOTSTEPS OF SONY/MARVEL'S 2021 MEGA-HIT "SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME," WHICH DID $804.8M DOMESTIC. "MAVERICK'S" GLOBAL CUME IS AMAZING $1.006B....
UNIVERSAL/AMBLIN ENTERTAINMENT'S "JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION" WAS LIVELY #3 IN THIRD WEEKEND WITH $26.4M AT 4,233 THEATRES ($6,246). IT'S DONE $302.8M DOMESTIC & $746.6M WORLDWIDE. DINOS MAY BE EXTINCT, BUT THEY'RE DEFINITELY SMELLING VERY SWEET AT BOXOFFICE....
DISNEY/PIXAR'S "LIGHTYEAR" NOSE-DIVED 65% IN WEEKEND TWO TO FINISH FIFTH WITH $17.7M AT 4,255 THEATRES ($4,153). IT'S DONE $88.8M DOMESTIC. "DOMINION'S" UNEXPECTED APPEAL TO FAMILY AUDIENCES CONTRIBUTED TO KNOCKING BUZZ FOR A LOOP. BOTTOM LINE: DINOS ATE "LIGHTYEAR'S" BOXOFFICE LUNCH....
"THE BLACK PHONE" WAS RINGING OFF HOOK IN FOURTH PLACE AS HORROR FANS PICKED UP CALL & BOUGHT $23.4M WORTH OF TICKETS AT 3,150 THEATRES ($7,419). EXHIBS THOUGHT "PHONE," WHICH REPORTEDLY ONLY COST $18M TO PRODUCE, WOULD OPEN TO $17-20M & HOLLYWOOD HANDICAPPERS WERE IN SAME BALLPARK WITH $15-20M. CRITICS LIKED IT WITH 84% FRESH ON RT & AUDIENCES WERE SIZZLING HOT AT 90%, WHICH SHOULD MEAN FAVORABLE "PHONE" WORD OF MOUTH. ...
