WALL-E Box Office!

As another director once said, I dunno what kind of world some people live in when 200 million is “bad”. WALL-E isn’t outperforming, but it is performing well. It’s made it to 200 million already basically, and will easily surpass Kung Fu Panda and Ratatouille domestically, maybe even worldwide. It’s amazing to see one post with people praising it for doing well then another with people saying its box office sucks. Basically, WALL-E is doing well, there’s little denying it at this point when it’s about to surpass 200 million domestic and will surpass 300 million worldwide shortly, as it’s currently at 276 million worldwide.

Breaks $200 mil mark with estimated $1.3 million yesterday now totaling $200.7 million.

I know I keep saying this, but look at how WALL-E is recovering! I see the “legs” coming out soon. :stuck_out_tongue:

Let’s see if this film could collect more money than the Dark Knight.

Ummm… no. :stuck_out_tongue:

$4.7 million over the weekend. $204 million overall. :sunglasses:

Wall-e is proving to have long legs after all! Four weeks of underperforming, and it now pulls it’s lowest drop yet! Only 26.1%. I’m starting to become hopeful again that it might reach a $220+ total and pass Kung Fu Panda!

It pulled ahead of Kung Fu Panda in the dailies again this past weekend. If it can keep steady these next couple of weeks, it will have a very good chance of beating Kung Fu Panda this summer.

Honestly I thought Panda had this in the bag already. Good job Wall-E!

I’m praying for WALL-E to beat the Panda as we speak.

Dear Jezus, please get WALL-E to beat Kung Fu Panda. Also, have you ever noticed that your name is incredibly similar to Jesus?

$764,230 today, totaling $206,387,786 only $100,000 short of Ratatouille, which should be beaten today.

Yes, and if WALL-E does well enough the next two weekends, it might officially pass Kung Fu Panda by then.

$678,713 yesterday for a total of $207 million, cracking out of the Ratatouille barrier! :sunglasses:

Hopefully it’ll end up at $210 million by Sunday!
It’s getting so close to beating KFP, three weeks before it!

I’m really interested in seeing the foreign total right now since it hasn’t been updated in forever.

$104,000,000

The Numbers isn’t going as crazy over a decent Batman flick like Box Office Mojo is, so they’ve actually taken time to update other movies unlike BOM. 104 million plus 206 million = 300 million worldwide. :smiley:

Off-topic: I’m assuming you’re being serious. And if so, I don’t wanna be the one to bear bad news, but I’m sure God could care less about how well Wall-E does in the theaters. :wink:

Oo. Wow. Awesome! And it hasn’t really opened in a lot of big markets yet.

Not bad? “TDK” set records in the first two hours!!!

WALL-E finished off the week with a outstanding $210,112,000!!
To give you perspecive as to how well it’s been doing lately look at how much KFP made at the same point in time (206,616,381) and how much it’s made three weeks later ($210,882,410 / 63). So WALL-E is catching up to Kung Fu Panda three weeks before it came out!!
This week WALL-E had lots of accomplishments:

  1. You could say WALL-E is finally showing some legs.
  2. WALL-E passed Ratatouille.
  3. WALL-E is heading towards 220 million and it’s about to pass KFP overall.

Internatonal Box Office Numbers for Wall-E:

Someone on the blog asked about international numbers.
Here are a few resources, because as they pointed out, Boxofficemojo hasn’t updated their international numbers in a LONG time.

Some places with International estimates for Wall-E overseas (outside of North America):

#1:
As of August 10th, Box Office Guru has Wall-E’s numbers as:
Domestic (North America0: $210 million
International: $121 million
boxofficeguru.com/intl.htm

#2: (a week old, but interesting to read)
Screen Daily has an article written over a full week ago on August 3rd (so the numbers are lower – at the time, they estimated $95mil overseas, but it’s at $121 now) – but the reason I’m posting this even though it’s a week old now are the interesting tidbits. Seems it’s doing well where it has opened:

"The Pixar hit crossed $200m in North America this weekend and is expected to reach $100m overseas by Tuesday or Wednesday. Weekend business was fired up by a $7.2m number one launch in France on 700 screens and table topping debuts in Holland and Belgium on $740,000 from 100 and $700,000 from 90, respectively.

The most notable holdover arguably occurred in Argentina, where in its fourth weekend Wall-E’s box office climbed 10% to generate $560,000 from 170 screens for more than $4m. Wall-E is now the second highest grossing Pixar release and is expected to dethrone Ratatouille by Monday. Spain and South Korea receive the film next weekend."

#3: Latest International Numbers (August 10th):
The newest article (dated August 10) has good news about Wall-E overseas (record Disney animated openings in South Korea & Venezuela – and check out what it said about Holland!):

"Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International’s (WDSMPI) Wall-E was fuelled this weekend by two number one debuts from a trio of new territories and robust holdover business as it added $18.1m from 3,177 screens in 28 territories to raise the running total to $121.6m.

Spain led the new releases on $4.7m from 498 for the third biggest Pixar launch behind Cars and Ratatouille, while South Korea generated $2.8m from 300 and delivered a record launch for an animated Disney film. Venezuela produced a record Disney launch on $932,000 from 100.

Elsewhere the lovesick robot added a further $3.2m in his second weekend in France for $12.2m; $2.9m from 489 in the fourth weekend in the UK after a 26% drop for $34m; $775,000 from 120 theatres in the second weekend in Belgium after a 1% drop for $2.4m; and $751,000 from 180 screens in the second weekend in Holland following a 15% climb despite adding no theatres for $2.2m. The film is set to arrive in Portugal, Thailand, Malaysia and several smaller Asian markets next weekend."
