2019 YTD includes box office made from movies released in 2018.

Posted by: RogerMore on Apr 21, 08:44 in response to VictorY's post That number is year to date, not 2018 MS.. I understand...

So 2019 YTD includes $136M from Aquaman, $82M from Spider-Verse, $66M from Mary Poppins, $56M from Bumblebee - the box office those movies earned after Jan 1 2019.

Compare against the 2017 releases that held over into 2018 - two very leggy movies in Jumanji 2 ($235M) and Greatest Showman ($124M), plus $100M from Last Jedi

And then the 2016 movies going into 2017 had Rogue 1 ($124M), La La Land ($120M) and Sing ($117M). Hidden Figures too, though that was really a January release.

The 2015 movies going into 2016 were TFA ($284M), and Daddy's Home ($85M)

CSS and Moviesnob are correct to point out that one reason why 2019 YTD is lower than 2018 YTD is because the 2018 holiday movies didn't hold over on the same scale as they did in the preceding years.

Another reason is that the award-bait movies like ASTAR and FREDI were released in October/November and made their money then. There wasn't a holiday/early January movie like Hidden Figures/La La Land/Greatest Showman that was big at the box office, but only because they had already come and gone.

April Domestic Box Office Down 17 percent from 2018. (Reminder) Feb. box office was lowest in 17 years also. VictorY Apr 19, 16:07

Correction: Feb. box office was lowest in 13 years. Domestic revenue year to date at lowest level since 2013, according to Comscore {nm} VictorY Apr 19, 16:11

I blame the Alita Challenge what huge impact that had on the box office {nm} jamesbik333 Apr 19, 16:24

Wrong, you can't even read. That's year to date, not April, and 2018 had a little movie called Black Panther. {nm} Antibody Apr 19, 16:35

(article) THR cites Comscore for analysis, comparing 2019's through-April totals to similar numbers from 2018's record breaking year. VictorY Apr 19, 16:38

Takes more than just one film to make a frame. BP was amazing, but wasn't everything. {nm} VictorY Apr 19, 16:44

BP made $688,364,917 through April accounting for one fifth of the 2018 box office to date, so yes it's entirely responible for the 17%.. {nm} Antibody Apr 19, 16:58

And yet, domestic revanue is lowest since 2013. Way before BP. (according to Comscore). This isn't working AB. {nm} VictorY Apr 19, 17:12

That's cause 2018 ended poorly. CSStrowbridge Apr 20, 01:29

Yep {nm} Moviesnob Apr 20, 07:31

That number is year to date, not 2018 MS.. I understand you're trying to embarass me with your attempted name calling and overall junk. {nm} VictorY Apr 20, 20:22

But at least try to remember what year we're even talking about.. Oh right, that's you "per usual." {nm} VictorY Apr 20, 20:23

2019 YTD includes box office made from movies released in 2018. RogerMore Apr 21, 08:44

I'm not exactly sure where this "We'll replace all these fans" stragety is really headed. These declines suck. {nm} VictorY Apr 19, 16:40

We’re not replacing all fans. Only bigots, slack-jaws, religious right are to be replaced. Hope this clarification helps {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 19, 19:49

"If you believe anything that americans believed up until 20 years ago (even just 10 in many cases) then you're being replaced." MattW Apr 20, 00:37

Good. If you can't keep up with a changing culture, then you deserve to be replaced. That's how it has always worked {nm} CSStrowbridge Apr 20, 01:30

I’m not sure that is how it works. McCarthyists didn’t get replaced, for example, they evolved. Within a decade Goldwater was the Republican RogerMore Apr 20, 06:07

Also “America’s founding stock”? That’s not how it works either. {nm} RogerMore Apr 20, 06:08

He's wrong (as usual). No one is trying to "replace" anyone. If anything they are trying to be more inclusive & appeal to a broader audience {nm} Moviesnob Apr 20, 07:40

Bigots and slack-jaws are being replaced, daily. Each time a right-winger takes stale thinking to the grave, a younger, better American SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 20, 09:17

culturally, thats just not true. There's a growing culture of younger right wing extremists empowered by social media and the inter {nm} Moviesnob Apr 20, 12:27

Wrong. The young right-wingers are at America's fringe, from which they try to be loud. But politically and culturally they are losers, and SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 21, 08:48

Translation (Stormfront to English)? Thank you. {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 21, 16:22

Free country, so you get to complain about all of this damned progress as much as you like. Carry on, clingers SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 20, 01:44

Does VictorY use an Ouachita Baptist email acct? Sounds like what Sarah Huckabee Sanders would say {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Apr 19, 19:52
