Top 10 and Beyond: Latest Annabelle Film Lags the First TwoĪnnabelle Comes Home opened this past Wednesday to $7.18 million. Will the $26 million–budgeted film have enough word-of-mouth to pass The Beach’s $45 million?

(The studio partnered with Boyle on 2015’s Steve Jobs, which opened strong in four theaters but ultimately grossed just $17.7 million total.) Boyle’s Oscar-winning Slumdog is his crowning box office achievement with over $141 million, but it is also just one of three of his films to gross over $20 million.

The Beach in 2000 was his previous high with $15.2 million, even if it remains his lowest scored film on the Tomatometer at 20% and just one of two Rotten films (including A Life Less Ordinary) in his filmography. With a 59% rating currently, Yesterday teeters on the edge of Fresh, but Universal is very likely more interested in the film’s $17 million start. The last film of his to do that was 28 Days Later back in 2003, and it earned $10 million. Then again, it is only the fourth film in his career - on that has included Transpotting, 127 Hours, and Slumdog Millionaire - to open wide its first weekend. It may sound surprising to some, but Yesterday actually represents the best opening of director Danny Boyle’s career. Of the 14 films to gross between $220-250 million after 10 days, only three of them ( The Hunger Games, Spider-Man, and Toy Story 3) broke the $400 million domestic mark, but Toy Story 4 remains on track.įresh Surprise: Yesterday Poised To Be One of Danny Boyle’s Highest Grossers Meanwhile, Toy Story 4 sits at $236 million domestic and $496 million worldwide the sixth-highest total of 2019 to date. The 2010 chapter fell 46.2 percent and 49 percent in its second and third weekends. Part four dropped 52 percent this weekend, but also had farther to fall. Toy Story 3 had a run that did not see a drop of 50 percent until its 13th weekend. At the end of this weekend, it is still ahead of Toy Story 3’s pace by about $10 million even if it trails weekend two of part three $59.3 million to $57.9 million. Last weekend with an opening that rose above $120 million, the fourth Toy Story was ahead of the third film in the franchise by about $10 million. Second, however, could take a bit of work. It took seven days to become the fourth highest-grossing film of the year, and it certainly has its eye on third place. There have only been 29 films in history to gross more than Toy Story 4 has in 10 days. Remember last week when some headlines were labeling Toy Story 4 a “disappointment” because it did not live up to lofty expectations? Granted, winning a second straight weekend in this box office is not much of a feat, but the Pixar film’s numbers are still strong, and it leads a new crop of films that couldn’t be labeled disappointments either.
