'Fast & Furious' Spin-Off, 'Hobbs & Shaw', Off to $180 Million Global Launch - Box Office Mojo

by Brad Brevet
August 4, 2019

The Fast & Furious franchise has yet again delivered a #1 opener with the franchise spin-off Hobbs & Shaw taking the top spot at this weekend's box office. Overall the weekend showed improvement over the same weekend last year for the third straight week in a row and on top of Hobbs & Shaw, continued strong performances from The Lion King, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the platform release of A24's The Farewell helped what has been a bit of a late summer surge at the domestic box office.

Universal's Hobbs & Shaw debuted in 4,253 theaters this weekend (the second widest release in the Fast & Furious franchise) with an estimated $60.8 million, which is right in line with the studio's pre-weekend expectations. The $200 million production also received an "A-" CinemaScore from opening day audiences and currently holds a strong, 90% audience score on RottenTomatoes. Of that audience, 58% were male, which lines up with the audience make up for The Fate of the Furious.

Of course, Fate of the Furious opened with $98 million, nearly $40 million more than Hobbs & Shaw, completing its run with $226 million domestically. Should Hobbs & Shaw deliver a similar, 2.29x multiplier we'd be looking at a domestic run right around $140 million, which would make it only the seventh highest grossing in the now nine-film franchise. In fact, outside of the first film in the franchise, the average multiplier for a Fast film is 2.4x, which would mean a domestic run around $146+ million. It will be interesting to see how the film performs next weekend as the marketplace will see a massive five new wide releases hit theaters. While none of the new films particularly target Hobbs & Shaw's audience, that's a lot of new content to go up against when audience interest in this spin-off clearly doesn't match the enthusiasm for the Fast films featuring the original cast.

Hobbs & Shaw's worth, however, isn't evaluated only on domestic returns as the film launched in 63 overseas markets this weekend with an estimated $120 million, securing a $180 million global debut. The performance is the fifth largest global opening ever for Universal, and tops the $177.8 million global debut for Godzilla: King of the Monsters earlier this year.

The film debuted at #1 in 52 of the markets it opened in, with Russia leading the way with an $8.1 million opening. Additional top debuts include the UK ($7.8m), Indonesia ($7.69m), India ($7.4m), Mexico ($6.96m), Japan ($6.58m), Taiwan ($6.2m), Germany ($5.45m), Australia ($4.89m), Malaysia ($4.67m) and Brazil ($3.9m). Hobbs & Shaw will open in Belgium, France and Italy later this week followed by launches in Korea on August 14 and finally, a debut in China on August 23.

Disney's The Lion King also delivered on expectations, dipping -50% with an estimated $38.2 million for a domestic cume that now tops $430 million. Internationally, the film added to its massive global cume with an additional $72 million, pushing its overseas total to $765 million for a global tally topping $1.195 billion. Next weekend the film will launch in Japan followed by an August 21 opening in Italy.

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood also lived up to expectations, dipping -51% for an estimated $20 million sophomore frame. The performance puts the film's domestic gross at $78.8 million as it enters its second weekend in release.

Sony also landed in fourth position with Spider-Man: Far from Home, which added another $7.75 million for a domestic cume that now tops $360 million. Internationally, the film added another $9.5 million for a global cume that now stands at $1.08 billion.

Rounding out the top five is Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 4, which grossed an estimated $7.15 million as it entered its seventh week in release with a domestic cume that now totals $410 million. Internationally, the animated feature brought in another $10.2 million for an overseas cume that is now just shy of $550 million for a global tally topping $959 million.

Outside the top five, A24's The Farewell continues its strong platform run, grossing over $2.4 million from just 409 locations, bringing the film's domestic cume to $6.8 million. The film will continue to expand throughout August and beyond with no specific word as to when it will finally reach nationwide status.

In limited release, IFC's The Nightingale debuted in two locations with an estimated $40,082; Neon's Luce debuted with $132,916 from five theaters ($26,583 PTA); Cohen Media debuted Tel Aviv on Fire in 11 theaters with an estimated $50,987 ($4,636 PTA) as well as the 4K restoration of Joan the Maid in one location with an estimated $1,343; Oscilloscope's Jay Myself brought in $19,088 from one location after opening on Wednesday, bringing the film's cume to $27,750; 1091's Them That Follow opened in three locations with an estimated $15,000 ($5,000 PTA); and Music Box's Piranhas opened at New York's Film at Lincoln Center with an estimated $3,049.

Next weekend will see a crowd of new wide releases hitting theaters with Paramount debuting Dora and the Lost City of Gold in 3,500 locations; Fox's The Art of Racing in the Rain drives into 2,800 theaters; Lionsgate will debut Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark in 3,000 locations; WB will debut The Kitchen in 2,700+ theaters; and Bleecker will introduce audiences in 1,500 theaters to Brian Banks.

Camila Cabello Responds to Body Shamers Criticizing Her "Cellulite" in Heated Instagram Post - Cosmopolitan.com

60th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet

  • Camila Cabello just wrote a lengthy Instagram post in response to being body shamed.
  • Camila says young girls are growing up in an airbrushed world "seeking a perfection that's not real."

Your fave Camila Cabello has been dealing with a bunch of body shaming lately—and she just hit Instagram Stories to challenge the "fake" idea of perfection in a lengthy and extremely A+ note to her fans.

Camila started her post explaining that she hasn't been going on social media lately, but hit Instagram to find a picture to share in celebration of the two-year anniversary of her song "Havana." At this point, her eyes "accidentally ran over a headline of people body shaming me," and the first thing she felt upon seeing it was super insecure, saying "my cellulite! oh no! I didn't suck in my stomach!"

But the thing is—and as Camila notes—everyone has "bad" pictures and angles, and honestly what makes a picture "bad" anyway? As Camila puts it, "The saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is they're seeking a perfection that's not real."

The singer explained that she was writing her note for people like her little sister, who are constantly seeing photoshopped and edited pictures, with airbrushed bodies and skin, and assuming that's "perfection."

"It isn't. It's fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL," she said. "We have a completely unrealistic view of a woman's body. Girls, cellulite is normal. Fat is normal. It's beautiful and natural. I won't buy into the bullshit today!!!! Not today Satan. And I hope you don't either."

Umm, no words just 👏👏👏.

Wrongfully convicted: The incredible story of John Artis - 6PR

In the 1960s American boxer Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter was wrongfully convicted of the murder of three people. The case inspired Bob Dylan to write his famous song Hurricane and even grabbed the attention of Muhammad Ali.

Together with Carter that night was an aspiring track athlete who had just turned twenty years old and who barely knew him, John Artis. He was the man behind the wheel of Carter's car and who would be also wrongfully accused of the murder.

Carter is no longer alive, but John Artis is. He joins Jane and Paul Murray to talk about his story – revealing information never broadcast before.

京アニ犠牲者報道テロップに「アホ」 フジテレビ謝罪 - 毎日新聞 - 毎日新聞

京アニ犠牲者報道テロップに「アホ」 フジテレビ謝罪 - 毎日新聞 - 毎日新聞

フジテレビ=東京都港区で2019年4月撮影

 フジテレビが4日夕に放送したニュース番組「Live News it!」で、京都市伏見区のアニメ制作会社「京都アニメーション」で起きた放火殺人事件の犠牲者を悼むコメントに「あんなアホいない」との誤ったテロップを表示した。フジテレビは同じ番組内で訂正し、その後のニュース番組で改めて謝罪した。

 ミスがあったのは、「らき☆すた」などで監督を務めた武本康弘さん(47)の同級生の男性のコメントに付けたテロップで、実際には男性は「あんな天才いませんよ」と話していた。

 フジテレビによると、テロップを発注した番組制作スタッフが手書きした「天才」の文字が乱雑だったため、別のスタッフが「アホ」と読み間違えたという。その後のチェックも不足し、放送後に局内で気付いたという。

 同局の広報担当者は「武本監督の名誉を傷つける誤りで、ご遺族の皆さま、取材に応じてくださった同級生をはじめ関係者の皆さまに、多大なご迷惑をおかけしたことを深くおわびします」とコメントした。【稲垣衆史】

佐々木彩夏 コメント

今回、みぎわさんとのデュエットに花輪くんにも参加してもらって、3人で歌わさせていただきました。
花輪くんというのはみんなの憧れの存在だと思うので、誰もが花輪くんを自分のものにしたいと思っていると思うんですよ。
そんな中で、私とみぎわさんの直接対決というのはやっぱりアイドルの私としては負けられない戦いなので、絶対何が何でも花輪くんを勝ち取るぞという思いで歌いました!
でもやっぱり、どちらも傷つけない花輪くんの優しさや、ユーモアたっぷりなみぎわさんと私の掛け合いなど楽しんでいただける曲になっていると思いますので、ぜひたくさん聴いていただければ嬉しいです!

京アニ武本監督死去でフジ誤報「あんなアホいない」と伝える(女性自身) - Yahoo!ニュース

京アニ武本監督死去でフジ誤報「あんなアホいない」と伝える(女性自身) - Yahoo!ニュース

8/4(日) 18:57配信

女性自身

35人の死者を生んだ、京都アニメーションの放火殺人事件。京都府警は8月2日、アニメ「らき☆すた」監督の武本康弘さん(47)を始め10人の身元を公表した。武本さんは09年の「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」や12年の「氷菓」など、人気アニメをてがけてきた。その訃報に、多くのファンから悲しみの声が続出している。

【写真】事件直前の青葉真司容疑者

だがそんななか、フジテレビの「Live News it!」が伝えたニュースのテロップに怒りの声が上がっている。

4日放送の「Live News it!」では今も多くの人が訪れる献花台の様子を伝え、武本さんら犠牲となった人たちについての追悼コメントを取材。そのなかで、武本さんについて「あんな天才はいない」と悼む同級生の声を伝えていた。だが、テロップではなぜか【『らき☆すた』監督の同級生も『あんなアホいない』追悼】となっていたのだ。

番組では終盤になってテロップに間違いがあったとして、訂正していた。だが「天才」を「アホ」と表記する"ありえない間違い"に、Twitter上では怒りの声が上がっている。

《LIVE newsテロップの醜い間違い 同級生のインタビューで 「あんな天才いない」と答えたのに 「あんなアホいない」と表示。 ワザとだろ》
《ミスではなく意図的に変えてるとしか思えない。何考えてんだフジテレビ》
《フジテレビの京アニのニュースのテロップ、あんなアホいないて天才とアホて普通間違うか?》
《フジテレビ、ありえなくない?京都アニメーションの被害者について「あんな天才いない」って言ってるのに「あんなアホいない」ってテロップつけるとかどうしたらそんなミス出来るのか謎すぎる》

「Live News it!」のHPによると、番組名について【it!とは、「そうそう!」「それそれ!」という"共感"を表しています。 Live News it!は、ニュースを通じてみなさまと "きょう一日を共感できる"番組を目指します】としている。
