More likely is a gross closer to 2019’s sequel 47 Meters Down: Uncaged ($22.2M), or perhaps even lower than that. Yet with Fall‘s official trailer through Lionsgate’s YouTube channel standing at less than half a million views only a few weeks prior to release, that seems unlikely. Now they’re stuck at the pinnacle, with no working cell phone service and seemingly nobody around for miles to hear them scream.īox office: Clearly, Lionsgate hopes to replicate the success of their similar “two female best friends trapped in a summer thriller” plot from the distributor’s 2017 shark movie 47 Meters Down ($44.3M). Upon reaching the apex, the staircase crumbles and prevents them from descending. Premise: In this vertigo-inducing thriller from Lionsgate, Grace Fulton and Virginia Gardner play two friends who decide to ascend the ladder of a 2,000-foot radio tower. They’ll be competing with the following August releases: It seems possible, or even likely, that four of the five highest-earning films during August will be the July holdovers Thor: Love and Thunder, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Nope, and DC League of Super-Pets. Three of the so-called “big five” distributors-Disney, Paramount, and Warner Bros.-aren’t releasing anything theatrically in August at all. During a month-and-a-half stretch spanning across June and July, five out of six weekends out-earned their equivalent weekends from 2019, the last pre-pandemic year.Īugust, however, looks to represent a sharp reversal, with the theatrical calendar coming in on the slimmer side. June 2022 wouldn’t hold the record for long, as July became the first month to cross the billion-dollar mark since December 2019, when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker pushed the box office to that 10-digit threshold. In June, the domestic cume was $968M, eclipsing December 2021 ($920M) as the top-grossing month since quarantine. June and July were the two best months yet for the post-pandemic box office.
