Probably. The first dropped 60% in its second weekend.

John Wick 2 ended its run even though it made over 100,000 last weekend. Wish studios would stop this trend of ending run's earlier

 

It is still playing at a dollar theater near me, probably more stopped reporting the number than fully stopped playing, is it the studio that stop a movie playing in theater or not more the theater chain ?

I...don't know how you can't be impressed with that. This is a film in its tenth weekend - a horror film - that had an increase. 

 

Its PTA did drop almost 40%. The theater count increase is the only thing responsible for the increase in grosses.

Doesn't change the fact that despite apparently being the biggest Get Out stan on the forum, he's the only one who's trashed its performance.

Most likely, but when you open 25% higher than the final gross of the first movie, it stops mattering at that point.

Don't know if anybody's already told you that April 2017 is the biggest box office April ever domestic. 
Despite some weak weekends April made it to $800m.

I miss Prasadz IMAX, loved that screen. Spectrum is a worthy replacement though.

 

IMAX was huge this weekend

PRASAD'S is no more an IMAX screen. Due to less true FILM movies, they have removed the projector 3 years ago. The las IMAX 70MM movie they played is INTERSTELLAR and i've that movie FDFS. & another time after a week. Some say that they have the projector and they'll be using it for NOLAN movies due to Nolan's popularity in INDIA as they'll be flying towards the theater when #Dunkirk releases. I heard recently that they renovated Prasad's Large screen installing a new digital projector and cutting some portion of the screen. 
     
I'll be seeing Baahubali2 in BIG screen on May7th/8th once i'm there i'll know the details and i'll let you know what happened. 

And what's this Spectrum?

I hadn't realized theaters had removed their projectors entirely. I hope that isn't true in the US, since Aronofsky shot mother! almost entirely in 35mm.

Perhaps casting a huge Indian actor in a Hollywood film would help increase the box office on India. 

 

Apart from The Jungle Book, have films like Lion or Slumdog Millionaire done well in India. 

 

 

Dont kniw how much Slumdog did but I know it is actually hated by a lot of Indian audiences

Good to hear you've found a good replacement there. Unfortunately for us, there is none.
And yeah about the 3KM line, that was a hug line.  I think i have a video of it

There are some other issues as well. But there's no clear info from them whether they have the proj. or not. 

[Ash Skywalker]

Can anybody give some info about  macroXE screens (Cinépolis) and how do they compare to regular and IMAX screens?

Wow, just got a TV spot for The Circle which quotes a lot of publications - but not reviews. Instead it is "Watch the movie Rolling Stone calls one of the most anticipated of the year"

Rolling Stone disliked it

They almost all did - that's the joke.  This isn't an ad for reviews but for the once upon a time when these mags and papers were anticipating it might be good - you know - before they actually watched it.

It made 1.5 million anticipated lists. They were huge!

Not to send @Blankments into a rage but the audiences who go to Madea movies like them. In their mind they are good comedies.
