Call of the Box Office

The trade press is saying the new Harrison Ford pic with the big furry dog will lose $100 million after all the greenbacks flutter to earth. Ruh roh...

Three Days of Grosses

1) Sonic The Hedgehog -- 4,198 theaters (+31) -- $26.3M (-55%) -- $106.6M

2) Call Of The Wild -- 3,752 -- $24.8M -- $24.8M (1st weekend)

3) Birds Of Prey -- 3,565 (-671) -- $7M (-59%) -- $72.5M

4) Brahms: The Boy II -- 2,151 -- $5.9M -- $5.9M (1st weekend) (1st weekend)

5) Bad Boys For Life Sony -- 2,972 (-213) -- $5.86M (-49%) -- $191.1M

6) 1917 -- 2,725 (-359) -- $4.4M (-46%) -- $152M

7) Fantasy Island -- 2,784 -- $4.2M (-66%) -- $20.1M

8) Parasite -- 1,805 (-196) -- $3.1M (-45%) -- $48.9M

9) Jumanji: Next Level -- 2,126 (-284) -- $3M (-45%) -- $311M

10) The Photograph -- 2,516 -- $2.8M (-77%) -- $17.6M

So there are three animation hybrids on the big board right now: Sonic, Call of the Wild, and Jumanji. Sonic the Hedgehog is sprinting along nicely, propelled by a vintage Jim Carrey performance. Disney managed to muscle CotW above its projected numbers, but the trades are tut-tutting that the flick -- a pickup by the House of Mouse from recently-acquired 20th Century Fox, will end up a money-loser.

On the other hand, Jumanji: Next Level will be making Paramount Pictures a nice bundle of cash.
