It was a good weekend to go ape at the box office as Kong and Monkey Man ruled the movie jungle. I look at their performances as well as the latest updates on Dune, Ghostbusters, and more!

The eclipse was surreal. Drove 10 hours through the night to plop myself on the side of road in SW Texas. Waited around in the humidity and flies for over two hours watching clouds pass over the sun until right before totality they parted and it was immediately so worth it. Just being a young man with my dog the empty green land of texas and the eclipse. Probably the single greatest experience I’ve ever had.

The title reads like Godzilla is collabing with Kong & his pal Monkey Man 😅
i lived in the path of totality also my whole neighborhood was out... neighbors talking it was a wonderful celebration and brought me pure joy.

Glad that Dan got to experience the total eclipse. It is hard to convey how awesome they are through words or video.
The eclipse was amazing! Drove down with family the night before to Plano, and then the next morning went on the hunt for a place where the clouds were breaking. Lucked into a perfect spot at a park in the small town of Wolfe City, TX.
Glad you guys were able to enjoy the eclipse, it was pretty spectacular!
The Old Oak is about a pub owner and a Syrian refugee attempting to open a community kitchen amidst an atmosphere of prejudice, not about trying to keep the pub open. It's excellent, one of the best films of 2023
I am really enjoying the uncanny run of Marky Mark and Sydney Sweeney being positioned on the chart so their posters are staring at each other. Awesome to see the two greatest power couples of the Schmoedown hanging out! Glad you got front row seats for the eclipse!
Seeing Dan watching the eclipse dressed the usual way he does was… shocking to me

I drove to Melbourne, Arkansas, and watched the eclipse. It was spectacular. And we got really lucky and ran into a bunch of guys that had some massive telescopes, and got to see the solar flares and everything.
So many monkey movies this year. If a certain wise old turtle saw this, he would say the following... "Mmm, monke" and "There are no accidents"

That’s so cool you got to see the eclipse. It was too cloudy to see it in my area. I’m so glad you pointed out that the posters for “Monkey Man” and Omen look the same!!! Thanks for the charts Dan. You are awesome!
I drove to Hot Springs with my kid from where they live with my ex in LA. It was my first time in Arkansas and I was pleasantly surprised. I saw totality 7 years ago in SC and both times were just amazing. An absolutely indescribable experience. Oh, and afterward we hit up a local theater to catch Dune 2. My kid hadn’t see it yet, it was my 3rd viewing. I even forgot that the first scene is durning an eclipse. 😁
cant help but notice the eerie similarity between Monkey Man and First Omen posters. Lol
I was lucky enough to essentially be on the X of where the last eclipse and this one passed in Illinois so I had a pretty good view of both. Definitely a cool experience
The Inglorious One and The Crusher!! So great to you all together, such power couples! Gosh, if Samm & Rachel were a team, Shazam would've seen some trouble lol. Gosh I miss Schmoedown

Caught Monkey Man and First Omen yesterday, I can say I liked Monkey Man more than 'Kong... but let's see what happens with Planet of the Apes in the whole Primate themed films this year.
19:40 I remember the Lost In Space movie, but mainly because I saw it in the cinema.

Not a great film, but I did like the re-mix of the original theme song.
I also live in what was totality. My husband and I went to a nearby park to watch it. It was amazing to see it with a crowd. Every cheered when it got pitch black and cheered as it got light again. But the most interesting thing was the wildlife.
This was my 2nd stand in the path of totality and it was glorious
A couple of days late, but I'm here for the charts! Glad you got to catch thr eclipse. I also live in tha path of totality and got to share the experience with friends who traveled to see it. So amazing!
Dan's puns are on fire today 🔥
Scream 2 dethroned Titanic half way through its run for one weekend in Australia. Probably the week of going to the cinema I remember most fondly. I saw Titanic twice, and Scream 2 back to back that weekend and it was absolute madness. The independent theatre I used to attend wasn’t opposed to oversell tickets to people so eager to see Scream 2 they happily payed to lay down the front and fill the aisles with people using the steps as seats.

Was only 8 at the the time but I remember that ridiculous run by titanic. Four records I don’t see ever being broken , the force awakens domestic total, Endgame’s opening weekend , avatar’s ww gross and titanic’s fabled 15 week no.1 run
Nice one with the eclipses
Brilliant video as always Dan!

It was a brilliant business decision for “The Boy and the Heron” to have their official Chinese release date, during the Qingming Festival. The Chinese holiday basically translates to “Ancestor’s Day” in which families visit the gravesites of their deceased relatives and loved ones to pay their respects and spend the entire day together as a family, doing whatever fun activities, which includes going to the movies together. Themes regarding death of a family member, respect for the elderly, and preserving one family’s legacy made “The Boy and the Heron” the perfect movie for families to spend time together during the Qingming Festival holiday!
I'm slightly curious, how could No More Bets be a new entry onto the Worldwide Box Office 365 Chart, and move down one spot at the same time?
I only saw Lost In Space because it came free with a package of 5 dvd's when you bought a DVD player.
Hey Dan, I'd still love for there to be a domestic/international split number added to the Worldwide Weekend chart. It's always interesting to see where the bulk of a movie's gross is coming from and where it's being more successful, and a quick line like "(65% international)" below the worldwide weekend grosses would communicate this rather efficiently, instead of having to skip back and forth between the international and worldwide charts to compare the numbers.
I went to see that 1998 rerelease of “Grease”! It was totally new to me at the time.
It's been some time - but I finally saw Emily the Criminal - because you recommended it. Thank you! Really enjoy your take on all things movie magic. Kudos*
Would have bet everything that Dan was going to comment on the similarity in the posters for MM and TFO

I think it will reach $700m worldwide, especially with it starting to re-enter IMAX and other premium formats after temporarily being kicked out for Godzilla x Kong. It has been consistently seeing a drop of about 30% each week for the last few weeks (and at this stage in its runtime, it is likely to stay at that rate if not improve with the premium format reopening), and if it holds at that rate it will only take another 6 weeks to reach $700m, and I think that is likely. I don’t think it will stay in theaters as long as Oppenheimer, but I think it will stay for at least 2 more months, if not longer. Now it almost certainly won’t reach $750m, but $700m is likely and an incredible achievement for this type of movie.

@@AllInTheGame01 the day on day drop in its opening weekend showed that GxK was quite frontloaded, way more than Dune 2, even though the overall first weekend was similar. I was expecting a >60% drop and I actually believe that good scores helped GxK to have a 60ish% drop instead of a 65ish
Very fascinating that Dune: Part Two had a stronger hold than Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire!
Dan, you will experience another eclipse in Arkansas in 2045.
I went to see grease twice in it’s opening week in 1978. The first time it was a great experience for the entire audience. The second time not so much and I think it was because a couple of people laughed at the beginning of summer nights breaking everyone’s suspension of disbelief. I would go to see the 50th anniversary release in four years if there is one.
15:15 The Old Oak (which I saw when it came out here in the UK last year) is about a bit more than just a guy trying to keep a local pub open - it's also about refugees in the UK and social attitudes around them, with the protagonist trying to recapture the community spirit from when the town was a coal mining town. Interesting to see it get any release in the USA - no doubt the MAGA brigade would see it as "woke" or even Communist (the protagonist, gasp, is a "union man").
Of all the reasons that we don't get the best, most complete charts, I never thought that we'd be blaming the sun
Cool video
That Kung Fu Panda is a money-making machine... 💰
I like these more concise charts videos. I'd much rather they stay like this with separate supplementary videos maybe released the following day when Dan feels a deeper dive on a topic is warranted. YMMV.
14:29 are the per theater averages over the 3 days, or a daily average?

🇿🇦 I know you probably do it in your records but you needed to show us the graphic of Super Mario Bros going on your list of movies that were on the TOP 10 for the entire 365 days.
Afterlife was a delight. Frozen Empire was just ok. Thus the divergence.
02:23 and both took it from the crow(1994)movie poster
GxK is already about to break 400M worldwide. It is dominating.
Great episode as always, although this time it makes me wonder some things: Wouldn't the Mario movie have earned a spot in Dan's 365 Days Top 10 Hall of Fame? Is Dan going to bring back the arthouse cinema honoring section? Is Dan going to bring back the "Toni Collette needs an oscar for her role in Hereditary" request line?
Surprising that Grease's re-release earned $54 million inflation-adjusted. I wonder if they decided to do it after the Star Wars re-releases in 1997 were such massive hits
So Wonka really easily could’ve been a disaster
Nothing illustrates runaway inflation like Lost in Space being a $100 million movie in 2024 dollars.

Wow so Wonka made over 600 million on a budget of 125 million and only profited 56 million in theatres. Does that mean most movies don’t earn a profit in theatres?

I’m actually sad that King of the Monsters is the lowest grossing film of the Legendary Monsterverse; it was my favorite
Monkey Man and First Omen deserved more.
Hey Dan, your numbers for the chinese movies don't add up with the Maoyan gross (YOLO=497M USD, Pegasus=483M USD, Article 20=346M USD, Boonie Bears: Time Twist= 281M USD) and the Maoyan gross also matches Luiz Fernando numbers on his Twitter so i just wanted to ask if you may forgot to update these Box office results

Not that Sony actually learn from mistakes, but I hope they really re-examine this franchise and the direction they're trying to take it. It's not working. We didn't need the Ghostbusters to become a family business. The last movie and the family angle worked fine... but we didn't need that to continue. The franchise works best with a juxtaposition of adults and fantastical storylines. They already have Paul Rudd, great, wonderful, now select 3 other comedic actors... there's plenty of great comedic actors to choose from.

The appeal of the first movies was the balance between adults (lead by comedic geniuses with star power) and the fantastical element of ghosts. That drew people in. No one asked for this family stuff beyond the last movie which made perfect sense why the family dynamic was at play. That was fine for that. Now, lets get back to what made it great to begin with.
Shame that Monkey Man under preformed. Its action the only genre general audiences like.
Re the eclipse, I think it’s great if you happen to be in the path like you were and get to enjoy it as something special, but as someone who also experienced it, it is not worth spending thousands of dollars to travel for and make an event out of, because there can be a lot of environmental destruction associated with the places that people travel to and gather en masse to view. Also, lunar eclipses are also very cool, more frequent, and easier to view.

It's weird that 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' is really bucking the trend here in the UK compared to everywhere else.
