Marvel's third installment of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” experienced a 69% dip in ticket sales during its second weekend, marking the biggest fall in the franchise's history. The movie, which stars Paul Rudd, initially took $105m in its opening weekend but dropped to $32m. Senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian believes the second-weekend turnout is discouraging, but there is still potential for an increase in ticket sales before it leaves cinemas. Despite some negative reviews, “Ant-Man 3” had the biggest opening of the series and exceeded $100m in the year's first debut. Marvel movies, in general, have become front-loaded, but the consistent loyalty of Marvel's target audience should not be underestimated, according to Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOfficePro. Marvel's increasing front-loaded nature and divisive reception of some of its recent films may not necessarily be worrying to the brand as long as its core fan base remains, he said. While “Quantumania” may not have been as popular at the box office as some of its MCU counterparts, its $364m global gross after two weeks in cinemas remains impressive. The film's estimated lifetime domestic gross of $240m could potentially improve upon its predecessors, “Ant-Man” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp”. Source: Variety

Guest: Anthony J. Greenberg, Lead Editor, Lightyear; Filmmaking is a montage of four essential elements, according to Lightyear editor Anthony Greenberg. What are those four elements and how do Pixar's animation editors compose with them to create some of the finest emotional cinematic moments in the last 25 years? Tony joins our co-hosts Wim and Jim to explore the galactic creative leaps in Lightyear and bringing back to the big screen one of their most beloved characters, Buzz Lightyear. Also, box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian visits with his take on the trajectory of the movie business in this star-studded podcast.

"The Batman" generated $128.5 million in ticket sales over the weekend, tallying the second-highest domestic opening of the pandemic era. "The Batman" is only the second film released after March 2020 to see opening weekend ticket sales in excess of $100 million. The film will likely benefit from repeat viewings in the coming weeks. "The Batman" swooped into theaters this weekend, tallying the second-highest domestic opening of the pandemic era. The Warner Bros.' film generated $128.5 million in ticket sales over the weekend, coming in above the studio's expectations of $110 million. "[The 2022 box office] got its official start got its official start this weekend with the spectacular performance of 'The Batman,' a dark, brooding masterpiece of a crowd-pleaser," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. "[It] proved that audiences enjoy their superhero movies not only when they are lighthearted and fun, but also when they provide a deeper emotional experience." "The Batman" is only the second film released after March 2020 to see opening weekend ticket sales in excess of $100 million. "Spider-Man: No Way Home," a co-production between Disney and Sony, was the first, generating $260 million during its domestic debut in December. "No Way Home" also holds the title of the highest opener of the pandemic era and second-best in cinematic history, according to data from Comscore. Franchise-based films, particularly those about comic book characters, have been some of the few to break through and generate significant gains at the box office during the pandemic. Movie theaters have seen families with young children and adults aged over 50 be more reluctant to turn up at cinemas, even for big films. Box office analysts expected "The Batman" to draw fewer moviegoers compared to "No Way Home" because of its darker, more mature themes and PG-13 rating. The film will likely benefit from repeat viewings in the coming weeks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

Hollywood’s so desperate to get past harassment scandals that industry insiders have proclaimed 2017 “the year of the strong woman.” Box office returns show that the three top moneymakers in America all featured female protagonists: “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Wonder Woman.” “Women truly emerged as the giants of cinema this year,” said box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Of course, it’s also noteworthy that this trio of top films, as skillful and enjoyable as they were, all counted as sequels or remakes of properties dating back more than 40 years—hardly triumphs of daring originality! Somehow, these rehashed projects got new life by casting glamorous new actresses: Daisy Ridley of “Star Wars” is 25, Emma Watson of Beauty and the Beast is 27, and Wonder Woman Gal Gadot is 32. It’s hardly a shock to see moviegoers happily investing their money to gaze up at youthful screen goddesses with striking good looks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As part of our ongoing series on the people behind the sites and services that serve the film-loving community, today we're talking to Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for comScore. You may not be familiar with comScore but you're likely familiar with reports on how well any particular movie did on any given weekend. comScore is the company that gathers all of that information from the movie theatres, organizes the statistics into useful information, and gets it back to the studios so they know how well their movies did. Paul works as the frontman for the company and is often seen as the face of the numbers in interviews far and wide. Paul joins us to talk about the exciting world of film statistics, how he got started in the business and his love for film.
