Queen Film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Becomes Second-Highest Grossing Music Biopic of All Time


After earning another $15 million at the box office in its third week of release, the #Queen 
biopic #BohemianRhapsody moved into second place on the list of all-time highest-grossing music #Biopic

 The film pushes past Walk the Line on the all-time list, stands $34 million behind Straight Outta Compton at the domestic box office 

 Only Straight Outta Compton, which made $161 million over its domestic theatrical run in summer 2015, stands ahead of Bohemian Rhapsody after that biopic pushed its domestic total to $127 million in its first three weeks of release. Bohemian Rhapsody finished third in this week’s box office, behind Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and The Grinch, Variety reports.

 Thanks to its $15 million weekend, Bohemian Rhapsody passed the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line on the all-time list; that 2005 film, with its $119 million domestic box office total, was Number One on Box Office Mojo’s list of top-grossing music biopics for nearly a decade until it was unseated by Straight Outta Compton. Prior to Walk the Line, 2004’s Ray held the title for a year to end a 24-year reign by the Loretta Lynn biopic The Coal Miner’s Daughter.

 While Straight Outta Compton‘s $34 million leeway might be too much for Bohemian Rhapsody to overcome at the box office, the Queen biopic has been dominating worldwide and a testament to the band’s global legacy.

 Overseas, Bohemian Rhapsody has so far made $256 million – 66 percent of its worldwide gross – to push its total box office to $384 million. The biopic’s production budget was $52 million.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
