How'd Fant4stic do?..Part Two (Monday Movie Roundup...8/17/2015)

Morning Pepe. Let's start with the basics:
In the U.S., Fant4stic made another $8 million over the weekend, bringing the total Domestic gross to just under $42 million. As for the Foreign total, it's $60.1 million. This makes the worldwide total about $102 million, after 10 days in theaters. But is it a "flop"?
 Let's discuss, by comparing it to another famous "flop"...
After two weeks in theaters, Green Lantern (a flop by all accounts - even the actors) made almost $89 million in the States, which is more than double Fant4stic's numbers. Okay, fine. But everywhere else, GL made $33.2 million...which is almost half of Fant4stic's Foreign totals.
 Just goes to show that money is a tricky thing.
Speaking of money,
Ant-Man made another $5.5 million here, and is at $336.4 million worldwide.
(Which is more that GL made in it's entire run.)

It beat Real Steel and is sitting pretty as Evangeline Lilly's third top grossing film,
it's about $50 million away from beating Monsters Vs. Aliens and becoming Paul Rudd's #1,
and is less than $20 million away from beating Basic Instinct, which makes me wonder what would have happened if they cast Sharon Stone as Janet Van Dyne...

Then there's this gem with Superman and the Lone Ranger.
I've never seen the show, but it's been on my 'to do' list forever. This film's on the same list. It made $13.5 million opening weekend. It hasn't been released beyond the States yet, but I have a feeling it will do better outside the U.S.
Speaking of spy films...
November 6th baby...November 6th...

Have a good week all!
