OpusData and HAND partner to uniquely and reliably identify people and their digital replicas

May 21, 2024

Every day brings more headlines of the surprising, and sometimes disturbing, ways that AI technology is being used. These developments are making it more important than ever to know what you can trust when you watch a video, or listen to a sound recording. Actors and actresses want to know that their digital likeness is only used in ways that they approve of (including not being used at all). More broadly, control over one’s digital identity is going to be key not only to the entertainment business, but to society as a whole. This week, we’re announcing a partnership with HAND to integrate data from The Numbers and our OpusData service with partners across the industry to help ensure that you can trust what you see on your screens.

Weekend projections: IF holds on strong through the weekend to land $35-million opening

May 19, 2024

After a relatively quiet night on Thursday, IF is performing well through the weekend, and Paramount is projecting a respectable $35-million opening for the family-friendly comedy this weekend. With The Strangers: Chapter 1 coming in ahead of expectations, and The Blue Angels hitting the top 10 during its brief IMAX run, this weekend is shaping up considerably better than it looked on Friday morning.

Weekend predictions: IF faltering as we head into another disappointing weekend

May 17, 2024

After a good opening for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes last weekend, it looked as though Summer season momentum was building. Soft preview numbers for IF are cause for concern though. As a family film, it should play strongly through the weekend, but it’ll need to perform very strongly to hit the $40 million or $50 million that we’d hoped for. Meanwhile, The Strangers: Part 1 is looking solid, and Back to Black is, as expected, falling short of its potential. More...

Theater counts: Planet of the Apes holds off a bevy of newcomers to remain widest release

May 16, 2024

After a solid opening week at the box office for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the latest primate venture rolls into its second week retaining its debut count of 4,075 theaters, making it once again the most widely-available film in North America. It outperformed most expectations by earning $58.4 million in its opening weekend, and currently enjoys a six-day total of $72.32 million. This week sees another trio of films arriving in wide release, one of which holds a good chance of toppling reigning box office title holder from its top spot. More...

Wicked trailer

May 16, 2024

Musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opens exclusively in theaters on November 27. Full movie details.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future.

Our 2024 market forecast slips again, to $8.2 billion

May 14, 2024

The Summer season is looming on the horizon, and we could use some hits at the box office. The performance of films released in March and April was generally good, but delays to the release of several high-profile movies, and a lack of big new announcements for 2024 pushed our most recent market forecast for the year down a notch, from $8.3 billion to $8.2 billion.

Weekend projections: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hits $56.5 million

May 12, 2024

At 56 years old, the Planet of the Apes franchise is the 13th-longest-running franchise in movie history, by our reckoning, and ranks fourth to Godzilla, Batman, and James Bond among franchises that have spawned 10 or more films. Like those others, subtle evolution while keeping true to the fundamentals of the franchise is what keeps audiences coming back, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has managed to pull off that trick again this weekend, with 20th Century Studios projecting $56.5 million for the weekend, a fraction higher than War for the Planet of the Apes’ debut in 2017. More...

Weekend predictions: Planet of the Apes targeting $50 million this weekend

May 10, 2024

After a relatively soft start for The Fall Guy last weekend, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes looks like it will have a much more successful start, having already picked up $6.6 million from previews, compared to Fall Guy’s $3.15 million last Thursday. Our model thinks $50 million is the target for the apes on their opening weekend. More...
