'Ne Zha 2' Tops $755M, 'Jurassic World 4' Trailer Underwhelms And What 'Wolf Man' Has in Common With 'Morbius'

'Mufasa' is about to catch up with 'Sonic 3' in North America despite a far smaller opening weekend, while 'Wicked' has remained afloat following its PVOD debut.

In today’s newsletter…

• Ne Zha 2 races past Ne Zha (and swiftly nears the $1 billion mark)

• Detective Chinatown 1900’s success is good news for Jurassic World: Rebirth, but the first trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth is bad news for Jurassic World

• Mufasa catches up to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 as Wicked remains popular post-PVOD.

• Wolf Man again shows that not every hit affirms franchise/brand value.
