Finnick Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) ........in a fight for No. 1 alongside 20th Century Fox’s Hidden Figures, which was No. 1 yesterday with $2M and a running cume of $34.4M, and Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which ranked third on Thursday with $1.7M and a running cume of $485M. The Gareth Edwards-directed prequel is headed toward the $500M this weekend. Lionsgate’s La La Land -even before its weekend expansion from 1,515 sites to 1,848- was No. 2 yesterday with an estimated $1.8M taking its five week total to $59.6M.

JB33 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Excellent hold for Rogue One ! I mean, that's the kind of number we should see if 2011 holiday movie patterns are any indication but I didn't expect R1 to follow that pattern. I was thinking more along the lines of $1.2M to $1.3M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Thursday is not a big drop day. The only thing that has changed since 2011 is that Tuesday increases are bigger and Wednesday drops are more severe. Thursday has always been a day when movies stay pretty flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why that should have been the case. Thursday at this time of the year usually stay flat, +/- a tiny amount. TFA actually went up slightly on three out of four Thursdays in January. A 20-30% drop, which is what your drop would have been, would have been almost catastrophic for such a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, maybe that's what I'm thinking of. I usually expect Thursdays to be the lowest grossing days of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's definitely what I'm thinking of then. What got me in to tracking box office in the first place was the big Marvel films - the May releases - which are of course Spring films. That's why I've got that Thursday drop pattern cemented in my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see big drops on Thur in the 10-20% range usually only when there's a big opener or openers which will take a lot of screens and business with their Thur previews. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $200m opener would definitely hurt the Thursday performance of holdovers, especially films in a similar genre. But for the most part Thursday tends to stay pretty flat from Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it is a strange (very strange) set of circumstances Wednesday is the lowest grossing day of the week. Thursdays used to be the Tuesday of the week years ago before the discounts started rolling into place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Oh yeah - as others posted in between reading and me actually posting my response - big Thursday previews will spell a bit of damage but it will be to movies older than 3-4 weeks typically - or the ones losing sizable portions of theaters on "Friday". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, in reality they loose a - often big part - part of those for Thursday evening to night already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
