Box Office Recap – 01/04/2021
The first weekend of 2021 brought in just $13 million, compared to the record-making $219.5 million of 2016. Wonder Woman 1984 topped the box office with $5.5 million, down 67% over its opening weekend, for a total domestic haul of $28.5 million. Many are blaming the low turnout on the fact that Warner Bros. opted to release the Gal Gadot-toplined Patty Jenkins production on HBO Max.
No word yet on how the release helped boost subscribers to the nascent streamers. Croods: A New Age came in second with $2.18 million.
Looking back at 2020, there’s bad news and good news. The bad news is the pandemic devastated many businesses, and the film industry was hit hard. The 2020 domestic box office fell 80% to $2.3 billion, behind China’s haul of $2.7 billion. This is the first time China beat North America’s totals. In another first, a Chinese film, The Eight Hundred, topped the box office with $440 million. Hollywood’s biggest earner was Sony’s Bad Boys for Life, which opened in mid-January and brought in $413 million. Next up was Sam Mendes’ 1917, which took in $385 million after opening on January 10th.
The first tentpole released post-pandemic, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, starring Robert Pattinson, brought in $362 million worldwide.
2019 brought in $11.4 billion; this year’s receipts were the lowest in 40 years as many cinemas faced shutdowns for nine+ months in the U.S. Globally, movie ticket sales are expected to bring in $11.5-$12 billion, down from 2019’s $42.5 billion.
Now, for the good news. Women directed a record number of films last year, according to a study from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. Women comprised 16% of directors who helmed the 100 highest-grossing films in 2020, up from 12% in 2019 and 4% in 2018.
High-budget efforts include Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984. Others, including Zhao’s The Eternals and Cate Shortland’s Black Widow were pushed to 2021 due to the pandemic.

Feel Good Story of the Week – Virginia Man Finds Stolen 1969 Camaro After 17 Years
A Virgina man was finally reunited with his 1969 Camaro—17 years after it was stolen. Tommy Cook said that his beloved vintage car was stolen from his auto repair lot in Woodbridge, VA in 2003. At the time, the vehicle was painted Hugger Orange and did not have an engine. Cook reported the Camaro stolen and continued to renew its missing status in the years that followed. He says that he never gave up hope that they would be reunited one day. Finally, 17 years later, a friend of Cook’s asked him to come to an auto shop to look at a 1968 Camaro he was considering purchasing. When he arrived, it was a 1969 Camaro in the corner of the garage that caught Cook’s eye. Despite the fact that it was hoodless, painted green, had an engine installed, and bore a fraudulent VIN on the dashboard, Cook had a feeling about it and dug deeper. He quickly learned that the car had, in fact, originally been painted Hugger Orange. He checked the VIN in a different location on the vehicle (under the hood) and it matched his missing car. The 1969 Camaro had apparently changed hands four times since being stolen in 2003, during which time many expensive improvements had been made, including the installation of an engine.

This interview is one of my favorite Interviews of the year. John Beede is a very fascinating guy and has written a great book for young boys and girls alike.

How do we raise “good sons”?
Being a tough guy and showing no emotion…traits we’ve long-considered masculine…are no longer the ideals we want for our boys.
As we try to raise caring, thoughtful, respectful young men, this book will lead the pack, teaching them to become humans of a higher standard who embrace their emotions and feelings.
Unlike any book out there, THE WARRIOR CHALLENGE recounts engrossing stories about courageous men across history, providing real-life examples of modern manhood, and teaching messages about compassion and authenticity.
Author, mountain climber, and youth speaker John Beede disproves the “boys will be boys” mentality and encourages boys to be, above all, good humans. And this book applies to girls too!
John Beede set out to write THE WARRIOR CHALLENGE: 8 Quests for Boys to Grow Up with Kindness, Courage, and Grit to shift our shared definition and understanding of manhood and masculinity. This is a revolutionary and must-have book for boys who want to embrace who they are and find their best path to becoming good men! This no-holds-barred, action- packed, illustrated guide teaches boys to accept their own vulnerability and trust their heads, hearts, and souls.
By undertaking “The Warrior Challenge,” boys will learn a different kind of strength and what it means to be a man. Each chapter is accompanied by a comic book-style-artwork. Part of the challenge also is to ask boys to not take this journey alone, but to share it with either their parents, caretakers, teachers, or other role models in their lives. This book’s combination of interactive storytelling, real-life stories, and challenges will teach boys to be empathetic, vulnerable, and authentically them.
John Beede joined Gino on the Magic Morning Show today to discuss the book a little deeper. Click below to listen…
