WEBVTT
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.759
Hey hey, this is Tover Mac, and you're listening to Shadows at Shine, a movie podcast.
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:17.679
I am here today with a little brief short episode because we are delaying the spooky season just a wee little bit.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.600
So I thought I'd bring into it.
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.800
We're gonna talk uh about very few things today.
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.800
I want to get us in and out.
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:35.679
But before we get into any of that, the box office for the weekend of August 14th to the 16th is what we're gonna discuss.
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:37.439
Alright.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.719
So a big movie got released this week.
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.240
How did it do?
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:43.119
Hmm.
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.399
It was a JJ Abrams film.
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.920
Are we gonna see that uh them downsizing all those people made sense?
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:53.840
Let's find out.
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:55.039
Alright.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:05.519
Spider-Man, brand new day, added another 48.3 million to their domestic total, bringing that domestic total to 785.8 million dollars.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.319
Holy moly, that's a lot of money.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.120
1.23 billion dollars for a total of$2 billion worldwide.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.359
Uh it's even higher now.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.000
This is the results Monday morning.
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.920
Uh that's when I like to cover the weekend.
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.920
Uh, they are doing fantastic.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.879
Sony Pictures releasing must be extremely happy.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:36.159
Uh speaking of extremely happy, the Odyssey creators must feel the same way.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.879
$23.2 million added to the coffers of Universal Pictures.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:54.640
That's$504.7 million domestic,$786.2 million internationally for a total, a huge total of$1.3 billion.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:56.959
It's fantastic.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.040
And it's also very, very close.
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:19.280
And I gotta do uh I'm I I did not get the opportunity to check before I hit record, but I think by the end of the week, if all things go well, the Odyssey will become the most successful R-rated movie in uh cinematic American cinematic history.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.960
I'm of course talking about the domestic gross on that.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.039
Or maybe it's the well, you know what?
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.199
I'll actually give a proper report on that next week.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:31.840
Okay.
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:38.000
Third place is that movie I just teased at the beginning of this whole shebang bang.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.560
Starting with$21 million domestically, was The End of Oak Street, which is a Warner Bros.
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:47.680
movie.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.960
It made$26 million internationally for a total of$47 million.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:54.960
Alright.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.039
Um, not what I think they were hoping for.
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.039
It seems a bit low.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.000
Uh, and I haven't heard a lot of excitement around it.
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:15.840
But you know what did fantastic, and I'm sure overperformed, or at least performed um very respectfully, is Paw Patrol the Dino movie.
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.800
$20.5 million for its premiere.
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:26.400
It's$48.5 million internationally for a total of$69 million worldwide.
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.680
Paramount Pictures has got to be happy about that.
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.759
But I do want to point out Paramount Pictures trying to buy Warner Brothers.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.400
They got beat in the top five this week by Warner Brothers.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:48.000
And, you know, let's hope that 69 million uh doesn't get to be used to.
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.280
I I should just say I don't I don't think the merger should happen.
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.319
I've been very vocal about this on this podcast.
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:01.039
Alright, uh the fifth place movie, Cat's Eye, Wild Hearts.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.400
Okay, this is a concert movie.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.840
I don't know anything about the band, and therefore I know very little about uh this movie.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:17.439
It's a distributor I've never heard of called Trafalgar Trafalgar Releasing.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.839
It was released domestically and made$3.95 million dollars.
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.199
That's its worldwide gross as well.
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.959
For a band I've never heard of, they should be very proud of themselves of what they did there.
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.319
Because that that's some big big stuff.
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:52.879
Um, I would like now also to point out, I did mention last week that six, the musical live was gonna be coming out, and then I was like, oh, it'd be nice if they're able to pull in ten million dollars for that uh for focus features.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:05:12.959
They were only able to bring in three million dollars, so not nearly as successful as um as Hades Town, and I'm not really surprised, uh you know, like I thought about it and I'm like that kind of just makes sense to me that it would be there.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:28.879
Okay, um the weekend total overall gross 138.1 million dollars that it brought in uh nationwide to cinemas, that's down 32.4 percent.
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:38.879
Hey, that's still a respectable number because that beats the July 10th to the 12th weekend and the weekend before that.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.000
So doing doing really good.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.319
It's a nice healthy box office right now.
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:52.879
Of course, Spider-Man brand new day leading, and again, 34 releases

compared to the 67 the week before, the 56 the week before.
00:05:53.040 --> 00:06:00.079
You know, like it's doing very well with not a lot of releases happening.
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.120
Uh, worldwide box office.
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.560
I decided to take a look.
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:12.879
I was curious where Spider-Man is holding up, and it is in fact the most profitable movie of the year.
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:22.800
Two billion dollars beats out uh The Odyssey, which is the second most profitable film of the year at two uh 1.3 billion uh worldwide.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.800
Uh Toy Story, third place, 1.114 billion dollars.
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.959
I'm gonna keep naming all the billion dollar movies so far this year.
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:42.639
Michael, fourth place there, one billion dollars, 1.016, and the Super Mario Galaxy movie, 1.012.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.600
You know, those are very impressive numbers.
00:06:48.319 --> 00:07:08.160
Top five this year uh are all billion dollar movies, and it's looking like it's looking like we might have the best year financially for the movie business since the pandemic.
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:24.480
So that'll be about six years, that'll be a six-year high, bringing you all the way to where they're just in the shadow of 2019, which was uh, in my opinion, a peak year for modern cinema.
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.319
A definite peak year.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.399
Alright, spooky season's about to start up.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.600
Um, I've been actually not watching horror films on purpose.
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.680
I was watching American Horror Story, as I've mentioned on here before, trying to get ready for that.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.759
Uh, they're about to have new episodes of that.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.519
I'm really excited about it.
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.800
It's one of the only non-movie things that I get really into.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.720
I don't watch a ton of TV.
00:07:52.959 --> 00:08:02.000
There's a handful of uh sitcoms that I'll watch, you know, when I don't have the time or energy for a movie.
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:13.680
And I say all that to say, I watched a lot of X-Men movies, and I have rated all but one of them at this point.
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.959
The entire X-Men franchise is rated on our letterboxed.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:24.720
That's STS Pod, if you want to see where we're at and what we're thinking with that.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.600
You know, last week we did uh Super Troopers 3 and I mentioned that we had seen X-Men.
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:37.600
I didn't mention that we had watched Clueless, um, which I gave four and a half stars because I I love that movie.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.919
I think it's a very, very, very good movie.
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.399
I was contemplating a five-star.
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:48.000
In fact, I started thinking to myself, what's it gonna take for a movie
to be five stars?
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:53.279
Because I already know in the back of my head what two of those movies are.
00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:02.480
And so I've been thinking about what I want it to be, and I had to think even harder because all these X-Men movies, all right.
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:08.559
Uh, I would love to debate some of this stuff with you guys.
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:15.120
Uh so reach out on social media and tell me, do you think that my scores for the X-Men movies were good?
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.480
I got a controversial one on here, I'll point out right now.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:21.120
Three and a half stars for Deadpool 1.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.440
That's what I did there.
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.759
I'm also just realizing I didn't write how many stars I thought Deadpool vs.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.200
Wolverine is, so I'll have to do that after we record.
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:34.399
Alright.
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:45.759
I'm not gonna take any more of your time because we're gonna be going ham when we come back uh with the spooky season.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:53.360
I am not doing any podcasts until we start the uh until we start the spooky season.
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.840
And when we do, I might be doing more than one release in a week.
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.720
I am a person as a consumer that does not like it when podcasts do that.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.799
So, you know, you get to it when you get to it.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.279
And I appreciate you guys for downloading.
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:15.519
Um, I might uh if we don't premiere it next week, we'll definitely start it in September.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:24.639
Uh a lot of stuff with me getting back into comedy and some issues in my personal life have me slowing down.
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:32.240
I'm at least gonna do a um a uh box office report.
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:43.519
But again, we're also looking at switching that over to another medium and cutting that out of the podcast and just covering whatever the topic is each week.
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.080
So the format's gonna start to get played with coming up.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:57.440
So that after the spooky season, we're gonna really get real creative about what we're gonna do before we start season two.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.399
This is just like laundry stuff.
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.879
I don't know if you guys care about it, but I'm saying it out loud.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:06.559
Some of it's for me, some of it's uh just in case you're interested.
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.639
Thank you very much for listening.
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.240
I'm gonna wrap it up right now.
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:15.279
Here's what I'm gonna tell you: subscribe to Topher House on uh YouTube.
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.679

I also have uh stand-up activity starting to happen again.

Uh, it's Topher Mac and the Topers.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:53.360
And you'll you'll want to do that because you know the open mics that I've been starting to come out and kind of shake the dust off of have been going very well.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.919
So I'm feeling really good about coming into this.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.759
I just have to write some jokes that are worth your time so we can have some new material.
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.039
Uh but I'm also gonna have uh poor Topher Mac stuff coming out.
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.279
So we'll see how it all goes.
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.759

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.159
Bye.
