The box office then rebounded with "Ocean's 8" and Pixar's "Incredibles 2," which had the biggest opening for an animated film ever. Late April's "Infinity War" broke multiple records before going on to become the first film released outside of December to make $2 billion worldwide. Spring was a mixed bag in terms of ticket sales, but there were two surprise hits with March's "I Can Only Imagine," a Christian drama that has made more than 11 times its reported budget, and April's "A Quiet Place," a near-silent horror film that has made 10 times its reported budget.Īfter a stagnant 2017 summer box office, which was the worst in over a decade, this summer's windfall has given studios a much needed relief. The box office held steady in February with the release of "Black Panther." January, a historically sluggish box office month, was down less than 1% from the year before thanks to the success of holiday films such as "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "The Greatest Showman," both of which were released in December, but continued to do well in January. "2018 has been pretty consistent month to month with more hits than misses," he said.
Two films in particular have given 2018 a boost: The profits for "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Infinity War" combined makes up nearly a quarter of the year's totals, according to Dergarabedian. "Anytime the box office is up more than 5%, it's a real-world gain and not just the product of inflation," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore. If "Fallen Kingdom" brings in more than $141 million this weekend, it will make more than the combined total of the 105 films that were in theaters on the corresponding weekend last year, according to comScore data. That would add to the $430 million the film has already made internationally since opening overseas earlier this month.
Analysts are projecting that "Fallen Kingdom" will rake in around $144 million in its opening weekend, following a $58.7 million opening day on Friday.
