Three weeks in and it hasn't even cracked $200 Million worldwide. That's because almost nobody else is showing it.
I hope a lot of people got fired over this.

The Looney Libtard inmates are running the Asylum. And Walt Gayness World is supporting them.
Logical Cause and Effect does not compute for them. Everything is Disconnect.
I'd say that eventually after losing enough money a company will do something to correct their course.
Apparently, Disney hasn't lost enough yet. They just signed up Bob SayGay for another 3 year contract. In related news, I hear Kathleen Kennedy still has a job too.
I guess there's a lesson they need to learn that we aren't done teaching them. They're not as bright as the folk at Netflix, apparently.

You'd think that message was coming in loud and clear.
Gay Robot Dog Movie just barely cleared $6.5 million on a holiday weekend with a 6th place showing that was barely half of what the 4th place movie made.
The-Numbers is questioning whether it will even be able to beat The Good Dinosaur, which was Pixar's worst performer at $123 Million domestic. It certainly isn't going to gross more worldwide than The Good Dinosaur did at $333 Million, since it hasn't even cracked $100 Million internationally yet.
It's pathetic that they're still pushing it onto 3,800 theaters. Top Gun made $6,655 per theater this weekend while this steaming pile of shit couldn't even clear $600.
Get woke, go broke, bitches.
Have fun with the new Bob tanking the company for the next 3 years. I'm sure your shareholders are thrilled with that announcement.
Idiots.

Gay Robot Dog Movie couldn't even crack $3 Million domestic this weekend and dropped to 7th place in its 4th weekend. This movie is done. At only $112 Million domestic, the chances it beats The Good Dinosaur and saves itself from being the worst US box office for Pixar gets slimmer every day.
Despite the media running defense and pretending that they didn't expect a much better first weekend showing, Thor: Simp and Blunder defies all predictions and falls third place for opening weekend behind Terrible Dinosaur Cash Cow Movie, making this another Marvel turd that isn't getting any word of mouth help from non-Marvel cultists.
Meanwhile, Top Gun: Maverick is still showing a strong 3rd place. I don't see anything in the rest of the summer release schedule that's ringing any bells for me as far as a franchise I've heard of before. I'm wondering how long Top Gun will hold on in the theaters if the rest of the summer is weak.
We already know that Lightyear will be gone well before Top Gun is pulled from theaters. Is it possible that it will also outlast Thor?
It's already pulled in nearly $200 Million more than Dr. Strange (both in the US and worldwide), which is hanging in there at 10th place and a weekend performance of $262,000 in its 10th week. Keep in mind that Dr. Strange is the current record holder for largest opening weekend of 2022, and now it barely has 66% of the total take of Top Gun: Maverick in the US with 3 extra weeks under its belt.

Top Gun: Maverick just cracked $600 Million domestic yesterday.
It's in first place for the year by $190 Million over Dr. Strange's Wandavision movie, and should easily pull away from here to $200 Million now that the Strange is making less than $20k per day compared to Top Gun's $2.5 Million.
It doesn't look as though Thor is going to do as well as Strange did, so unless the Minion's movie has some massive legs, Top Gun will be the movie to beat.

I was finally able to see this a 2nd time, 1 1/2 weeks ago, on Tues 5 July. It was not hot out, and I hoped to find a show with seats, and celebrate TC's 60th Birthday.
When I got out of the theater, my phone had a google update forced on it, so it hasn't worked right since - well, since getting it in Jan (forced to) it hasn't worked right, but now even worse. Now it keeps deleting web pages all the time, and I can't really post here with it. I can log in, but I need to type posts blind, it won't let me see what I'm typing.
And the Library Chromebook garbage that I have checked out randomly deletes gobs of text or data when I'm posting or editing posts.
Anyhow, for that week my cinema had bumped back up to 12 or 13 shows per day of Maverick, while Gay Robot Dog was down to 2 per day, I think. This cinemaplex has 18 screens. I went to the Tuesday 1:15pm showing, and the Box Office showed no Sold Out times. There were 4 remaining seats for my show, and I got the last one in Stadium Seating. When I got out around 3:30, 2 of the evening shows were Sold Out.
The next week (last week), Maverick was down to 4 showings per day, while Thor had only 29 shows per day.
I should comment more about the film, also left over from my OP. later.
I heard that clueless Mickey Rourke has been whining that Maverick has over $1B worldwide.

Whopping 80% drop for THOR from previous Friday! Nothing close to that has ever happened for any Marvel movie before it.
Unfortunately, it looks like it's still going to be making some money for Disney, but I think it's finally safe to say that stamping MARVEL on a movie isn't the money printing press that it used to be. Good luck getting all your woke reboot characters that nobody cares about off the ground now that you already burned through your A-List catalog and all the actor's contracts have run out.
I didn't even realize it when I'd posted about Maverick being the movie to beat this year, but on July 11th, The Numbers had already predicted this:

rick-gives-theatrical-business-a-giant-lift
In other news, Gay Robot Dog Movie can't even crack $400,000 on a Friday and sits in 10th place now. It still needs $9 Million domestic to not be Pixar's biggest flop.
Place your bets.

The only reason that Gay Robot Dog Movie remains in 10th place this week is because Disney has still blackmailed 1,350 theaters into showing a movie that nobody wants to see.
https://www.the-numbers.com/daily-box-office-chart
11th place movie Marcel the Shell with Shoes On took $92,000 yesterday compared to Lightyear's $224,000, but it was only shown in 153 theaters.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Lightyear WILL make the $7 Million domestic it still needs to not be the worst performing Pixar movie ever (domestically), but only because they'll drag this piece of shit to the artificially created finish line they put 2 months out from now, no matter how empty theaters are until they get that number.
Those poor movie theater owners.
No company should have that much power.
It will still be a HUGE loss for Disney, however. As of writing this post, it has only made $13 Million more than its production budget of $200,000,000 worldwide. It would have needed to make half a BILLION to break even after theater costs and the marketing budget. It won't even get half of that.
Meanwhile, Maverick is still pulling in $2 Million + on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon, 54 days into its phenomenal run.
No other movie is going to touch Top Gun in 2022.

Gay Robot Dog Movie falls off the top 10 to 12th place this weekend and couldn't even bring in as much money on Friday night as it did Monday night. You don't see that too often.
It's sitting at 116 Million right now, and with barely a $200k haul on a Friday night I'm pulling back my prediction that Disney will make sure this stays in theaters long enough to beat Pixar's formerly worst domestic showing (The Good Dinosaur's $123+ Million).
I don't even see any way to justify this at this point. They just reduced it to 850 movie theaters from 1350, and it's still way more than it should have. At this point I wonder if Pixar is even going to survive after this massive historic flop in this economy.
Gayest Thor Movie Ever (as called by Liberal Media Outlets) didn't even come close to raking in 10% of what it did its first Friday night, and we already see how disappointing the final results were for Wandavision: The Movie compared to stuido and media projections. And Gay Thor already started out quite a bit lower than Dr. Strange did and took a bigger fall in the 2nd weekend too. But even worse for Gay Thor is that the international box office is just a few million more than the US Box office so far. Dr. Strange 2 at least was able to extract the US take plus an additional $113 Million from international audiences. It seems that in most foreign territories outside of Australia and South Korea, the post opening weekend international box office has been pretty pathetic.
Meanwhile, after 57 days, Maverick still nabs 5th place.
I fully expect it to outlast all 4 movies that are currently beating it before falling out of the theaters.

Later yesterday after writing this, the numbers for Saturday came in and Maverick sneaked back into 4th place for the day, but at least right now it looks like Where the Crawdads Sing took 4th place back on Sunday and will barely eek out a win for the weekend. I expect it to lose to Maverick on Monday and every day going forward from here.
With DC's League of Super Pets coming out next weekend, I also expect it to eat into the Minions movie's take and drop it under Maverick as well.
My guess for next weekend's top 5 at the US Box Office:
1. Nope
2. Vengeance
3. Thor: Love and Thunder
4. DC League of Super Pets
5. Top Gun: Maverick
That's an early guess though, without much to base it on. I haven't actually seen any real reviews for Nope yet, and there really hasn't been much buzz around Vengeance or Super Pets from any source that remains reputable in 2022. The media seems to love Jordan Peele even though he's an overrated hack just like M Knight Shamalyan was. (I do find it humorous when the media keeps calling him the next M Knight as if that were a compliment in current year).
I'm firm on Maverick being 5th place next weekend though, and would not be surprised to see it taking in more than at least two of those other 4 movies two weekends from now. I still think it won't get higher than 5th place after that though given how long its run has been in the theaters. Even though the movies coming out in August don't look like anything special, theaters aren't exactly cheap these days and I think the number of people who wanted to see Maverick on the big screen and still haven't are pretty small and how many times are you going to go see the same movie over and over again?

Looks like Nope is getting a thrashing in the reviews, and and anybody who doesn't proclaim to the heavens that it's the bestest movie ever made is a racist.
lol
Jordan Peele is a hack.
