What Movies Are Doing Well at the Box Office?
The movie world is full of action and romance! There's been a big Box Office battle this week, with some winners and one major flop!
Who is at the Top?
"Deadpool & Wolverine" - our favorite Merc with a Mouth! That one has had a wild time - it's already made more than $900 million and totally broke the record for the biggest R-rated movie opening EVER!
What's It Like in Second Place?
- The movie "It Ends with Us" has got some awesome drama, too - fans have been watching that movie a ton! You'd be surprised because it wasn't well-liked - with those book-to-movie adaptations! But for fans of romance movies, it seems to be doing a great job! That’s probably thanks to all those "BookTok" fans who are super excited for Blake Lively, the leading lady. It has become a big hit and it was also really popular because people had something to talk about.
Where did Borderlands fall short?
- That was an awesome video game movie with Cate Blanchett! That's right, those "Borderlands" movies aren't exactly at the top right now. And you might be wondering why. The movie reviews, though - they haven't been great!
So even though it’s a video game movie and those often are not great, the fact that it’s based on the big Borderlands game probably has everyone curious, but so far, people just aren't flocking to theatres.
Will Any of these Movie Releases Become Blockbusters?
Deadpool - it was super exciting for fans to see how the franchise continued! And even though this was the first time Deadpool was part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (after the Disney buyout), everyone is loving those superhero movies.
- Those love stories always pull a lot of people in, especially since It Ends With Us is a big BookTok sensation.
But you can always get an "It Ends With Us" movie, those are a dime a dozen. If it were something different like a big Marvel movie or those action-packed movies, we might get some huge box office numbers! But as for "Borderlands" we might see it end up doing better as time passes by. Even with Eli Roth's huge, name, his horror movies usually make more bank at the Box Office, which doesn't seem to be happening with this movie!
So what's happening with those huge movie franchises? Keep watching and keep those tickets booked. I am always down for a great, romantic drama but let’s be real those superhero Movies? Yeah - those will do much better!
