What a weird week for the US Box office with almost nothing dropping week-on-week but there was pretty much no new releases so I guess the people of America had to go and see something. A lot of films capitalised on the lack of competition by increasing the number of cinemas they're showing in.

 

Cars 3 added loads of theatres this week in the US and increased 936% week-on-week :lol: That means it overtakes the worldwide total of The Good Dinosaur so it is no longer Pixar's biggest flop!

 

Wonder Woman also had a week-on-week boost meaning it has now overtaken the US total of Civil War! What a success, I bet nobody would have predicted it beating out what is basically Avengers 2.5 :o

It has been revealed that Colin Trevorrow (of Jurassic World) will no longer be directing Episode 9 of Star Wars. Seems Disney are having a few directing problems at the moment after they not long got rid of the Han Solo directors :o

 

Also, the first official image of Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury in the upcoming biopic about his life:

I saw this on Reddit earlier today and thought it was quite interesting. Sully looked so different in early production :o

 

It has had a $51m opening day in America :o :o

 

The film has already broken these records!:

- Largest Thursday Previews for a Horror

- Largest Thursday Previews for a R-rated film

- Largest Thursday Previews for a September film

- Largest Friday for a September film

- Largest amount of locations for a R-Rated film

- Largest September Opening Weekend (Hotel Transylvania 2 did 48.5m so its broken the weekend record in one day!)

 

also its opening day is only 1.5m shy of the largest three day opening ever for an R-rated horror movie (Paranormal Activity 3 - 52.5m) and is just shy of the Fall opening weekend record as well (Gravity - 55.8m)

It has opened to £9.5m in the UK :o
