According to forecasts, total revenue in 2016 could surpass 11.1 billion USD in 2015 if the Fall – Winter movie season is successful. The two films Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Revenant brought in 467 million USD in revenue in the first quarter of 2016. The most surprising thing is that the movie Deadpool starring Ryan Reynolds premiered in February and earned 363.1 million USD in ticket revenue, the second most in the first 6 months of the year.
Disney’s Zootopia ranked 4th with 340.4 million USD. The second quarter’s revenue was worse than the first quarter, even though The Jungle Book (produced by Walt Disney) brought in 358 million USD. Captain America: Civil War kicked off the summer movie season quite impressively with a revenue of 404 million USD to date and is currently holding the 2016 championship. Among the big failures is Warcraft which only earned 44 million USD in the US even though fared better abroad and a series of subsequent films, typically Independence Day: Resurgence, only earned $41 million. “Clearly, the next episode is no longer a guarantee of revenue,” said Scott Mendelson, movie sales analyst for Forbes.com. Summer got off to a slow start as May and June revenue dropped 5.5% to only $1.86 billion compared to 2015’s $1.97 billion. Finding Dory (the sequel to Finding Nemo) brought in $286 million in The first 2 weeks of release in the US were not enough to create momentum. The summer movie season can only hope for Jason Bourne (released July 29), Suicide Squad (released August 5) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (released December 16).
