Don't believe the hype.
Anything they made so far in 2024 just barely offset their losses from last year. And they've still got a lot of money to lose with Snow White and black Captain America.
Don't forget the future landfill waste of licensed toys that that can't be sold by the millions at bargain bin prices at Ollies. Or the fact that Disney paid billions for Star Wars and has lost more money on it than it's made after you add in all the TV shows.
And Marvel is basically on life support.
I think this year is a good teaching moment for Disney. People will still go out and see things they make if they give the audience what they want and stop preaching to them all day.
I guess the other lesson is that people can be pretty forgiving after you start doing right and work to earn their trust back.

And Marvel comic book movies have gone out of fashion as have cowboy movies, which wore out their novelty with audiences as comic books are wearing out, right now. This sentiment of yours, 6ixStringJack, is a load of crap leftover from digesting Trump, eating what he served you: "I guess the other lesson is that people can be pretty forgiving after you start doing right and work to earn their trust back." The cowboy movies probably will never be as popular as they once were, regardless of how hard Hollywood works to earn your trust back.

Being available for free at home on TV will inevitably cut theater ticket sales worldwide.
Also cutting deeply into ticket sales is the knowledge that very soon a perfect copy, rather than a pirated copy, will be available.

Until they ruined that with dudes dressing up as princesses, and dumping over $4 Billion on a Star Wars themed hotel that nobody is going to see. Did I hear that already got torn down, or they're planning in tearing it down?
Disney is in trouble. It's why it's doing things like selling MSNBC, paying court settlements to Trump and making Joe and Mika kiss the ring.
Nobody cares that they made a few bucks off their increasingly unaffordable parks that nobody wants to go to anymore because the "magic" is gone. A fight breaks out in the park nearly every day and they stopped caring at all about the user experience.

Yup. Happened years ago and they just noticed it now. Something else that has cost them a few billion over the years.

Westerns and Comic Book superheros are a little bit different.
They can make money if they only release one super hero movie a year or two instead of five. Those movies also have to be good.
Deadpool & Wolverine just shut your entire argument down this summer.
Make more Deadpool & Wolverine, and less Birds of Prey, Madame Web and The Marvels.

Doubtful.
I don't believe anybody wants to watch this one for free either.

Also, it doesn't matter what you think about it when Disney knows what they need to do to make money going forward.
They cancelled the Blade movie that was going to be a failure. They've also spent TONS of money on multiple reshoots of black Captain America, with the last session of reshoots jamming white Captain America back into it.
The money that they're going to lose in 2025 on black Captain America and brown Snow White are going to eat up what very little profit Disney made in 2023 after covering for the $1.5 Billion in losses they had in the box office in 2022, and cause another $1 Billion+ deficit for them next year.
They should have just shelved both of them and wrote them off for taxes.

Kraven the Hunter goes into Weekend 2 with $29,335,952 worldwide.
It's first sub-Million day was Day 4. That might be a new record for the Superhero genre.

Wicked certainly will be the one thing I got wrong about Hollywood this year.
It's currently sitting at $533,730,420 worldwide. Many months back I did assume this would be one of the movies to displace the three Chinese movies, but then for some reason I can't recall, I changed my mind on that. It wasn't the reviews, since even people on YouTube who have to go see shitty movies all the time said that even though it wasn't made for them because they're hetrosexual men, the movie was made well and wasn't a woke shitshow.
Anyhow... Not only will it make money, but it's probably made enough on the first installment that they don't have to worry about making the $875 Million they'll need to break even on the two of them with that $350 Million budget.
It's still got some gas in the tank. $600 Million might be possible for this one. And in that event, even with a huge dropoff from the first movie it should have no problems clearing the additional $275 Million plus inflation they'd need to start turning a profit here.
As for the Top 10?
It's a heart breaker on the Venom 3 there. It's in 10th place right behind YOLO, and it's just a little more than $4 Million away from bumping YOLO down. It made $20,000 yesterday, so I doubt very much it beats YOLO unless Bruce finds a ton of money in the international couch cushions.
Gladiator II, a big loser despite making more than I thought it would, is sitting right at $400 Million now. It had its second sub-million day this week, and there's even more competition coming out this weekend. I doubt very much it has another $59 Million left in the tank.
Sonic 3 isn't likely to do it. The first movie only grossed $300 Million worldwide and the 2nd movie grossed $400. But hey... if it keeps that pattern up, we're looking at $500 Million on this one and it will easily displace YOLO.
Mufasa? Who knows. I'm seeing all sorts of terrible reviews for it and I've even now seen articles saying that Sonic 3 is going to beat it.
That leaves us with what's left on the Release Schedule for next week...
An A24 movie? Nope. A Searchlight Pictures movie? Nope. A Focus Features movie? Nope.
The Fire Inside? Nope.
That's all folks.
2024 ends with one Chinese movie on the Top 10 list for the year. Considering how bad 2024 was for Hollywood, that's not a bad outcome.
