"The Jungle Book" tops the chart April 25

"The jungle book" is the top movie this week. The top movie from last week, "The Boss" has dropped to No. 3. So far "The Boss" has raked in $43 million, that's $14 million profit so far over the $29 million budget. For this week, the top movie for the first time since I re-started my box office followership, the total gross from ticket sales so far is $130 million which is still approximately $45 million shy of the $175 million budget. I'll write that in words to emphasize "One hundred and seventy-five million dollars only. And I added "only" just like we all do on our cheque books.

Today is April 18th:

It's the third week since I started blogging. The aim of my writing expendition is to share my interest in the hollywood movie industry in North America. American being a entertainment conscious country can been observed from the weekly box office record (my definition of box office is the box like kiosk structures from which movie tickets are sold). Just to emphasis my point, if I get a gift of $30 million that will change my life and could change the lives of 30 others who wont have to work for the rest of their lives. This week the top movie is "The Boss" from Universal studios. It cost $29 million to make and in one week has earned $30 million plus.

On the blog this week, there no difference in the order of top earning movies from hollywood this week. Looking down the list, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is the one I personally will love to see for sentimental reason. Yes, top actress on original movie is Canadian. Ok, From No. 1 movie- Batman, total gross is $273 million that a gross difference of $23 million so far. Last week, my percentages were wrong. I apologise. Afterall, "to err is human".

I hope to keep this up. I love blockbuster movies and this used to be a favorite activity years ago watching the box office. We saw the days of BlockBusters before Netflix and 1TB laptops. For top movie, 84% ROI in first week in the theatre. Movie budget stands at USD$250 million and total ticket sale in first week at theatres across the USA was USD$209 million. I will have to confirm if this applies to European theatres as well. Hollywood spends and earns big dollars.
