After hearing the news that The Boss Baby topped the US Box office over the weekend, 31st March – 2nd April, you might be wondering what this film is about. Along with also being curious about how, indeed, a baby could be a boss.

This film is the brainchild of DreamWorks, who have previously delighted fans with films such as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda. But this latest outing sees DreamWorks replace their signature cast of adorable animals for babies. But these babies aren’t the sweet and cuddly variety. The Boss Baby follows in the footsteps of a baby, as he takes on the CEO of Puppy Co. After hearing of a new puppy, that could cause chaos among babies Worldwide, Boss Baby hatches a plan. Teaming up with his seven-year-old brother Boss Baby hopes to take down the CEO’s evil plan.

Who were the other contenders?

Also in contention this week were new releases Ghost in the Shell and The Zookeeper’s Wife. Despite its high profile cast, and high action storyline, Ghost in the Shell brought in gross profits of $19 million. That’s less than half of what The Boss Baby raked in. Power Ranger and Beauty and The Beast remained strong contenders, but were no match for The Boss Baby. While Beauty and the Beast has performed well over the past three weeks interest dropped over the weekend. Beauty and the Beast has currently generated gross profit of over $395 million. With The Boss Baby currently standing at $49 million will it be able to beat Disney outright?

How did The Boss Baby take the top spot?

So, what is it that drew American audiences to watch The Boss Baby this weekend? DreamWorks has built up quite a reputation as an animation heavyweight. This means that any film they produce is guaranteed a watch from their ever growing fan base. The slightly ‘out-there’ premise of a baby in the role of a boss may also have caught the eye of potential movie-goers. In recent years there have been so many sequels and remakes taking over the big screen. Sometimes it can be refreshing to watch something with an unusual premise. Well, whatever the reason, The Boss Baby has certainly livened up the weekend’s Box Office battle.

Proud geek since 1988. I'm never happier than when I am enjoying a good film. Of course, as a Brit, the film watching experience is always better with a nice cup of tea.

Generally, The Marvels is good. It has a 59 on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t great, but it’s better than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Perhaps director Nia DaCosta’s video game inspirations contributed to that.

The American filmmaker said Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children influenced her latest film at a press junket with IGN. “It’s just an amazing movie, with great fight scenes and a great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she said.
Despite poor reviews upon release in 2005, Advent Children has become a Final Fantasy cult classic. DaCosta seems to agree that the film is a classic. PlayStation exclusives also influenced the Marvels.

In the interview, she said she didn’t want the superhero film to look “too much like a video game” but did draw from Sony’s biggest franchises, like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. “For me, it was from the best games, the best stories that you get, that sort of inspires me to play, and I think inspires people to watch movies like this,” she said.

Since movies have shaped video games since their inception, it’s interesting to see the dynamic slowly changing. Now that technology and interactive storytelling are more complex, filmmakers are looking to PlayStation for inspiration.
