Rihanna’s ‘Home’ Generates $101.5 Million Worldwide

Rihanna‘s ‘Home‘ has swept up $101.5 million worldwide since its release, now placed $33.5 million away from recouping the $135 million spent to create it.

Now placed atop the US Box Office, the animated movie can now boast of having the highest opening number for an animated release since ‘The Lego Movie’ was unveiled in the UK, picking up $5.17 million in Russia and $2.42 million in Australia.

These figures helped the project earn $20 million before the movie opened in the US, nabbing a Metacritic score of 55 out 100 thanks to “mixed or average reviews.”

More good news below…

Its success in the US see it outperform Kevin Hart‘s controversial release ‘Get Hard’ while its soundtrack opens at #6 on the UK’s Compilations Albums Chart, seemingly unshaken by claims the movie was “inspired”  by Walt Disney‘s ‘Lilo & Stitch.’

As if that wasn’t enough to put a smile on the star’s face, sales of her new single ‘FourFiveSeconds’ have helped it keep a Top 5 position in the UK this week, now placed at #4 nine weeks after its release date.

    • Keri Qween March 29, 2015

      Girl bye

      Bbhmm is selling twice as fast as ratchet/11 and debuted @#29 on UK charts from two days of sales

      That’s higher than ratchet/11 and it hasn’t even been out a week

    • RihAmerican (hives scared of R8) March 29, 2015

      But bit ch is scalping 9/11 Worldwide with no video

    • Rory March 29, 2015

      7/11 wannabe ?? That flop ass song. The only reason it even saw the top 20 was because of the streaming points it got for the the music video views. And don’t act like she didn’t have Pour it up (which was also more successful than 9/11) before then. It went platinum before she even shot the video.

  4. KeKe March 29, 2015

    Waits for Sam to delete this post and replace it with one praising JLO for her two lines role

    • tits mcgee March 29, 2015

      Lmao!

    • Carry On March 29, 2015

      JLo is not that insecure and petty like that; she didn’t even through her b*** around in everyone’s face back in the day.

  5. KeKe March 29, 2015

    Let the meltdowns BEGIN!

  6. Barb-wire March 29, 2015

  7. Mark111 March 29, 2015

    Did the pest say that it won’t make it budget back? It’ll have it before Friday. Told you sissies, you don’t know box office, stick to the Beyonce and the Billboard that she can’t top anymore. Lol

    • King B > ur fave March 29, 2015

      For a movie to break even it has to make double the budget ( wish it probably will anyway)

    • JOHNVIDAL March 29, 2015

      You know films have to gross double of what they cost to at least begin to be profitable right? 🙂

      • King B > ur fave March 29, 2015

        Thanks @John

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 29, 2015

        Are you saying that it can’t make its 132 million budget worldwide? Please. It’s already at 102 m (Forbes) If it follows this pace the next few weeks then it will cross 264 m within a month and half…. You said itll flop and look it’s not flopping so have a seat and shut up

  8. Mark111 March 29, 2015

    How Rihanna single handedly saved Dreamworks. Lol

    • King B > ur fave March 29, 2015

      Calm your inexistant walls unless that movie make $1billion dreamworks is still doomed

    • JOHNVIDAL March 29, 2015

      Dreamworks is in need of a HUGE hit by now, and this won´t be it. This is moderate.

    • LOL March 29, 2015

      LOL SOUNDS LIKE YOU BEDBUGS ARE PRESSED AND BUTTHURT CUZ JAY Z’S HOOKER/S**** CAN’T SLAY LIKE THIS LOL.

  9. tits mcgee March 29, 2015

  10. Coco March 29, 2015

    • Mark111 March 29, 2015

      Love your avi.

      • Stephy March 29, 2015

        Thank You Marky Mark!

  12. JOHNVIDAL March 29, 2015

    These TGJ “articles” are always so confusing. I suppose they mean it is highest opening for an ANIMATED movie and in the UK. Important information 🙂
    Anyway, the movie is doing normal-average numbers for an animated movie, it isn´t flopping if that´s what some people were obsessing about. It is definitely not a big hit either. And Dreamworks has been in trouble for a while.
    These normal numbers have nothing to do with Rihanna or JLo. It´s a kids movie, and they don´t know/care who is lending their voices for the characters. Be reasonable people! If that were the case, people lending their voices for The Lion King or Frozen(over rated movie) would be the biggest stars in the world LOL
    There are constant animated movies new releases. And all of them are ususally successful enough, tons of known and unknown people lend their voices for the characters, and they don´t have any impact on the potential audiences, they go anyway, or they go is they are told the movie is good, but never because someone lent their voice in that film. Amazing actors lend their voices all the time for this and nobody decides to watch for that reason.

    To see films were JLo and Rihanna star you have Battleship and Boy Next Door LOL I don´t want to comment on that 🙂

    • Mark111 March 29, 2015

      Yes, but it was expected to do only 20 million and the studio is in trouble and needed a hit. So this is a big deal.

    • DatRihannaReign March 29, 2015

      You typed all of that for what? Rihanna and J.Lo voiced the characters and their music was a huge part of the movie (mainly Rihanna’s), so why shouldn’t they be attributed to it’s success? Don’t be bitter, be better!

    • Keri Qween March 29, 2015

      You’re always so bitter ;writing essays you need some friends gun

      The movie is successful and doing nearly twice as much as people expected it to

      Accept it and move on

    • LOL March 29, 2015

      LOL IN OTHER WORDS, YOU’RE PRESSED AND SALTY CUZ THAT RIHANNA REIGN REFUSES TO LET UP LOL.

    • JOHNVIDAL March 31, 2015

      I see none of you like reality and are always here to make nonsensical drags. That´s fine. It´s a way of life I suppose. For me, it would be so hard to only say what´s cool and to ignore teh possibilities and obvious truths the world offers me. I like to understand how things work and I know a lot about the film industry since I´m also a film lover. I´m sure you don´t, as your ignorant comments prove.
      You don´t even care if they shove down your throat wrong info? LOL Pathetic.

  13. tits mcgee March 29, 2015

    Oh David wrote this.. Let me take some screenshots before it’s too late!

    Johnvidal has been so shady lately.

    • TheElusiveLamb March 29, 2015

      His social security was cut down 40%, he hasn’t seen his grandkids, and he needs someone to take him to Walgreens for his heart medication, so we all can understand where he’s coming from.

      • Molly March 29, 2015

        Lmfao damn

      • tits mcgee March 29, 2015

    • DatRihannaReign March 29, 2015

      Mark the haters have been dragging this movie all week and now they’re singing a different tune. How many more excuses will they come up with? LOL! The most vocal haters (Beysus, FutureCiara and Jackie) have been quiet. Where the hell are they? LOL

  23. shakira stan March 29, 2015

    When will flopyonce?
    It feels so sad when a chick who f***** your husband is f****** up your career……bey should leave fried chicken for a change and order tissues and weaves ….cos her tears and weaves are flying all over.

  24. The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

    Lol even though it “won’t be remembered in 5 years time”…

    • The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

      And has the worst reviews for a Dreamworks film since 8 years ago…

      • DatRihannaReign March 29, 2015

        Lol replying to yourself, the freakin’ desperation…

      • The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

        Just statin facts Hun… Seethe…

    • DatRihannaReign March 29, 2015

      But you’re the one seething fool LMAO -_-

      • The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

        Why would I seethe??? Epic had a smaller budget and got better reviews. And it wasn’t considered the worst Dreamworks film in 8 years and had a flop soundtrack…

      • Jonatello March 29, 2015

        But the Epic Soundtrack was a flop hun, let’s not forget “Rise up” failing to rise up the charts either! And please stop acting as if “Epic” received some sort of acclaim, the film got lukewarm reviews at best and is still considered a box office failure. So try again!

      • The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

        What soundtrack??? It was a film score plus Rise Up. And I don’t remember Rise Up getting sent to the radio or being promoted constantly on Twitter… Epic wins…

    • DatRihannaReign March 29, 2015

      At the end of the day, the REAL critics are the consumers and THEY are enjoying it. You said it would flop, and it superseded expectations and now you’re PRESSED. I see that word thrown around a lot on here, but you’re the EPITOME of it right now LOL. I see the steam coming from your ears. Home won, end of story. 😉

      • The Beysus Impact March 29, 2015

        AHAHAHAHAHAHA

    • RihAmerican (hives scared of R8) March 29, 2015

      But Tip is already becoming iconic!! You mad???

  25. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

    @Elusive girl you really need to relax yourself. You come on here acting way too cocky and self-righteous when you’re just as messy as any other b**** on this blog. You’re the one who’s top commentor every week so think about that before you try to come for me because I never even take shots at your thirsty ass. Please exit to the left with your weak shade and desperation to be this ‘head lamb in charge’. Literally NO ONE cares.

    • Molly March 29, 2015

      Oh my, you two are supposed to be sisters

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

        I don’t ever fight with lambs because I don’t see the point. I just wanted to address this thirst bucket once because it was getting tire AF! I know she’s probably preparing two essays as we speak to “drag” me but she can keep them. #next

  26. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

    Anyway, congrats to Rihanna. She’s doing her thing!! True queen of longevity!

  27. ~The Arcade~ March 29, 2015

    Congrats… but’$135 million’ to create one movie? geez!!!

    • Mark111 March 29, 2015

      Again, you don’t know Hollywood. Price wise, this was a low budget film, but it looks amazing (animation wise),
      HOW to Train Your Dragon 2 was $200 or $250 million budget. Frozen was the same or higher.

  28. Camia March 29, 2015

    That’s great news. Fvck Critics. The movie has a A rating from the actual people who say it. They are really back peddling. The soundtrack is pretty good too. It definitely a Boss look for all involved.

  29. robyn March 29, 2015

    Congrats to Rihanna and all those who worked on the movie. Sam u better not delet this one lolll. I realy like david

  30. shakira stan March 29, 2015

    To think the hives thought this girl won’t surpass 2005…now they are desperate ,clinging to a 2003 album and a fav with overrated vocals ,fake manners fake baby fake husband fake accolades
    Oh boy! It sucks to be you H**’s right now.

    • Mark111 March 29, 2015

      Hammer meets nail.

    • BeyRihLiyah March 29, 2015

      but your fave sounds like a man when she sings and she has clinged to both bey and rih for relevancy

      • shakira stan March 29, 2015

        She still out sang and out danced Beyonce in beautiful liars and looked ten times hotter than her wearing less make up.
        I’ve always wondered why such a beautiful woman needs so much make up…till I saw those unedited photos….truly jay c**** not only saw his soul mate ,he found his resemblance too.

      • Barb-wire March 29, 2015

        Wtf is wrong with you? Why you shading her when she is defending Rih? Calm the f*** down stop looking for a fight and attention as if you are not the one who has Bey and Rih in their screen name just so you can feel validated and accepted

      • BeyRihLiyah March 29, 2015

        yawn she doesn’t sing better than bey dance better than bey and she don’t look better than bey you are delusional 🙂 Shakira is a latin flop that no one payed attention to until she linked up with bey

      • BeyRihLiyah March 29, 2015

        @bardwire who the f**** are you? stay the fuccck out of this because no one was even talking to your broke down tired brain dead ass go worry about your fave selling her tour tickets groupon

      • shakira stan March 29, 2015

        Shakira was already an icon when mattew and Tina were still pimping whoreyonce… Gurl bye.

  31. TheElusiveLamb March 29, 2015

    Orlando, Florida you can shut the s*** down. My claiming to be the head Lamb in charge is a joke like your shade, your life, your bank account, your walls, the bridge you live under, and that medical assistance degree that you’ve been trying to get for the last 10 years. You can NEVER call anyone messy bc you’re the weak b**** that shades Beyoncé 24/7 and then relies on me to clean up your s*** when the BeeHive shade Mariah. You are the weakest b**** on this site with “my favs have a diamond album” shade. Your opinion of me means zero. Continue your dialysis treatment because you find yourself six feet under and worry less about the “Head Lamb in Charge.”

    • How Many Drinks March 29, 2015

      Dragggg!

  32. TheElusiveLamb March 29, 2015

    And please don’t talk about thirst bucket because if you’re not slurping s*** from LB’s, Blue’s, Mark’s, or any other Navy member asshole clean, you’re shading someone and the trying to play victim. I see the b**** in your avi isn’t the only one that is brain dead here… you’re f****** pathetic.

    TheDustyUsedUpLamb
    That essay was very predictable. Yes you are messy b****. Taking shots at JohnVidal, Me, and even that other lamb a few weeks ago. Stalking Molly on Twitter? Girl sit your raggedy air bed built ass down and stop being a pressed ass h**. You’re jealous of other lambs and it’s not a cute look. Telling me to leave because there is a “new lamb in town”. Weak as hell.

    SCREAMING @ you stealing Slave_Hive’s drag. More proof that you’re watching everything from the sidelines like the basic fan you are. *signs autograph for my obsessed #1 fan*

  34. shakira stan March 29, 2015

    Lol are the lambs really talking when other stans are talking…has the fat whale repaired her disjointed vocals?
    Next we might have the ciara fans …when queen rihanna is in a post we don’t need flops….now hurry lambs and dykes and get the f*** out..the queen is here.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

      You’re clearly a troll. I won’t even bother with you because I love some Shakira. Keep it cute though!

      • shakira stan March 29, 2015

        I love some mariah too but her time is passed…let the 27 year old girl have her moment…this ain’t 1992 anymore.

      • Stephy March 29, 2015

        And, Shakira’s time has past too hun. Stop coming @ the Soundscan QUEEN!

  35. Applause March 29, 2015

    Congrats Rihforehead! The movie is really cute for kids.

    & These “lambs” are so embarrassing poor Mooriah.

  36. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

    The desperation is real! A true wack ass b**** with no life. Perched @ #1 on top commenters and you clearly live on gravatar changing your avi like 100 times per day. Get a life and stop worrying about mine pathetic ass b****. You come for people who hardly ever notice your unstable ass just to get attention on a blog. Writing essays to me won’t imrprove your life. It won’t take you off welfare, it won’t reduce the massive circumference of your ran through vágina, and it certainly won’t take you and your trailer trash family out of that dusty one bedroom shack that you reside in. I already got my acceptance into the University of Toronto so I’m well educated unlike your 40+ year old ass obsessing over a thriving 18 year old.

  37. Royalkev March 29, 2015

    Very impressive! This film will definitely see a huge profit soon! Those are great debut numbers!

  38. that… March 29, 2015

    looks impressive. and like sam gonna replace that with a jlow post again. that dipshit. :p

  39. metzo March 29, 2015

    Damnn mama. Slay some S*** Rih

  40. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 29, 2015

    I could sit here all night dragging every grey hair out of this b****’s weak scalp but I’d rather do something productive. However, if you’re gonna come for me again at least be somewhat original and not copy and paste Slay_Hive’s reads. I know you’re old and slow so your brain doesn’t function as well but try to catch up heaux!!

    ——————-
    Anyway, Rihanna is killing it this era. I know the girls are shaking in their boots because they wanted her to flop so bad. Still playing As Real as You and Me!! *exits*

    • metzo March 29, 2015

      Boy sit.

    • Barb-wire March 29, 2015

      You were dragged get over it.

    • Ozzy March 29, 2015

      STAN B****!

  41. TheElusiveLamb March 29, 2015

    That’s cute hun. What you fail to realize is that everything you do is predictable. I came here to joke around with you and other Lambs, but of course Grandpa John & you Grandma Jane had to act sissified about it. How can you talk about stealing drags when everything you said has been said by John, Stephy, Slay_Hive, Molly, and even me. You can never come for anyone. You are a miserable, old, dusty, basic, mentally ill thot WHO CLEARLY can’t me off your mind. Don’t try to take your anger out on me bc your body resembles an aged buffalo, and your bank account is failing like your health, and no one visits you at the nursery home. The fact you rely heavily on my attention is all I need to know who really admires whom.

  42. TheElusiveLamb March 29, 2015

    Yawn. This b**** is trying to paraphrase Stephy, Slay_Hive, & Molly old reads to “drag”. Every one “I got into it with” talks to me on a regular basis. I’m even going with Molly to see Ciara live. Are you done yet?

  43. Nicky March 29, 2015

    Lmaooooooo!!!!!!!!! @ flea hive

    Is he really going to call someone old when he is forced to take more medication than S******, his teeth fall our of his mouth faster than Britney Jean dud from the charts, his breath pattern is as inconsistent as Britney’s ability to do a two step in Flop Vegas, and his skin sitss lower than a muffler on his landfill body? Lol ok ‘Slayriah’… I change my Gravatar bc I want to. Are you mad bc the nurse won’t change your diaper??

    A huge win for Dreamworks and all involved congratulations Rihanna, Jlo and everyone apart of the cast.

  55. Rory March 29, 2015

    This was a big deal for Dreamworks. Some of their employees kept saying “Thank you” and that they “REALLY REALLY” needed it. For it to be predicted to do so low, and come out on top is amazing. Their past few movies didn’t open this big so this is very nice

  56. March 29, 2015

    You don’t know how Hollywood works. Actors cannot claim box animation for their success. Frozen took 1.2 billion. can anyone name the lead actress?

    This film is cartoon released on easter weekend. also, I LIVE IN LA AND THEY DID NOT USE the picture of the black girl. They only used the picture with the purple cat, so most kids don’t KNOW RIHANNA is in the movie, they just saw a cartoon with purple cat and alien.

    Rita ORA IS IN AN ACTUAL MOVIE – PLAYING a real character and it is already tipped for soar buzz, so she will body that oscar red carpet for the second year. LOL.

    HA, My cousin lives in London and she took pictures of red double decker buses and emailed me. The buses did not even have rhino’s character, rather, the purple cat and alien on billboard. 90% OF kids seeing this movie think it is about a cat and alien. F*** outta here trine claim this.
