Blue Beetle loses 182 theaters and still remains in 391 this week.
Worldwide Box Office going into the 9th weekend is $128,172,075 ($845,383 ahead of where I predicted it would be AFTER the 9th weekend).
Aside from Australia, New Zealand, Croatia and Romania, it doesn't appear that any other countries have been updated after last weekend. There remains $26.3 Million in the "Rest of World" kitty though, which is close to half of the total recorded international money so far, so it's likely most of that has already been covered at least up through last Sunday.
BoxOfficeMojo reports $128,673,358, which is about $500k more than The-Numbers. (And about $1.35 Million more than I predicted at the end of this weekend).
Using BOM's current (higher) reporting, Blue Beetle still needs $3,519,004 to beat Shazam II's Worldwide Gross.
It will likely make around another $280k in the States this weekend.

It appears we've reached that late-stage problem where the studio stops giving regular reporting on their movies. By evening on Sunday, there are still no Domestic projections for Blue Beetle's 9th weekend on either The-Numbers or BoxOfficeMojo.
This is something I'm actually not used to seeing for major films from the big studios. I'm not saying that it hasn't happened before, but it hasn't been a thing with any of the Disney movies, or with Barbie or Super Mario Bros.
Maybe they're just hoping this one goes away while Warner Bros. is panicking about word that Aquaman 2 might be a flop.

Blue Beetle premiered in El Paso on August 15, 2023, and was released in the United States on August 18, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received generally favorable reviews but emerged as a box-office bomb, grossing $129 million worldwide against a production budget of $104 million and became the lowest-grossing film in the DCEU
Although...
FACT CHECK: Blue Beetle's Production Budget was $120 Million, not $104 Million.
It also hasn't made $129 Million yet. It's only made $128,440,009.

According to BOM, Blue Beetle now made $129,029,130. The-Numbers has it at $128,527,847.
It's still playing in 241 theaters this week.
It made $23,332 on Wednesday.
So far this week (6 days) it's made $355,772. Today should be around $20 to $25k more, so $380k for the week, so a 40% drop from last week which is just around the 38% and 39% drops for the last two weekends.
If that holds this weekend and next week, it will gross another $161k over the weekend and $228k by next Thursday. Including the $20 to $25k it will get tonight, that's around $250k more by next Thursday.
My last archive for Blue Beetle was from September 27th, here: https://archive.ph/VfjNF
BB had $55 Million even international 3 weeks ago (obviously an estimate). It has $56,298,717 today.
This leads me to believe that BB is either flat out done outside of America, or it's making so little it won't even matter anymore. There has been enough time for me to feel confident that the International numbers are up to date from that $55 Million number.
Can it break $130 Million?
