Approximate Guess for MTC 1 pre-sales for CM, SM:FFH and BW Day 1 - 0.7 | 1.1 | 1.05 Day 2 - 0.85 | 0.25 | 0.19 Day 3 - 0.25 | 0.11 | 0.17 Total - 1.8 | 1.45 | 1.41 CM and SM:FFH numbers I extrapolated from Pulse and @Deep Wang numbers.

Aladdin dropped 42.5% in its 3rd weekend and legged 4.9x post that. PoTC 5 dropped 51.5% in its 3rd weekend and legged 3.5x post that. Cruella drop is 38.7%, better than Aladdin. 5x legs will take it to $90M. $100M looks dicey, and matching Aladdin won't be easy at all, but I guess Canada reopening will help so $90M is reasonable expectation. AQP2 dropped 39.5%. Great hold. 4-5x legs will take it to $156-168M. Great.

As per the death stats in almost every states of India, the excess deaths during almost every month are 30-50x what official COVID death data is.

Genuine bummer. I was talking about Toy Story 3 and his performance in there with a friend just a couple weeks ago too.

Wut

Football has always been bigger than cricket, mainly because a lot of the clubs have working class backgrounds. That and it's so accessible to actually play the game

IMO it looks more like 300M WW than 250M and 200M by the end of this week.

Black Widow confirmed for July 7 5PM Open.

If he had said "what was the last musical based on a stage show released in summer that was a hit" he might have had something but obviously as others said this is inaccurate. Rocketman and Mamma Mia 2 (which entered the world as a movie and not as a play unlike its predecessor) both did really well, even if they relied entirely on people's fondness for iconic discography.

Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to Sonic 2. I'm interested to see what they'll do with Tails and Knuckles coming in.

I loved Green Book! It was a fantastic movie and it deserved to win Best Picture that year! Anyways, ITH doesn't have any hope of making profitability now, sadly.

Oh so that where people started breakout in China thingy. Funny Scott mentioned ITH along side two of the most beloved films in China; Coco and Dangal. His US box office takes are sometimes bad, China takes are all the time absurd.

I always said rabbits go with Easter...Peter Rabbit 1 had the great spring run...PR2 should have released then, even with Covid issues b/c rabbits and spring always are a pull... It's hard to compare PR1 and PR2, when one had the advantage of being "the Easter season" movie...

Great idea. You need a non-sequel overperformer every once in a while so you can try to crank out 9 sequels to it

Peter Rabbit's kind of an inexplicable one tbh, I just genuinely don't understand it's weekend trend (nearly 1M Thursday, 4M Friday, and only 10M weekend?). Seems strange for a kids film. Maybe Thursday previews are suddenly going to become much more important than they were even 2 years ago.

This is also basically a long-winded way of saying Sonic 2’s gonna flop probably

Rocketman was more of a biopic anyway. Nobody looks at it as a musical, and Mamma Mia has ABBA songs.

I mean, Peter Rabbit 1 was a fairly inexplicable sensation and it was always gonna be very tough to recapture that.

Not shocked this bombed at all, terrible marketing. Reminds me of RENTs release back in the day.

True, but my main point was that SLOP2 wasn't a signal of some sort of box office apocalypse. If anything, I find that the holds this weekend have been pretty encouraging on the "return to normalcy" front, even if the openers have disappointed.

If it makes you feel better, I’m still on the “theatrical is dead” and “GvK/Memorial Day is a fluke” camp. I’m no wishy-washy hack that changes my mind every weekend. Besides, Mickey’s Law and audiences rejection of midbudget fare meant theatrical died spiritually ages ago

SLOP had great legs but the second one still dropped hard. Drops are fairly common with sequels to kids' movies.

It is really funny to me how we seem to seesaw from “theatrical is back” to “theatrical is dead” as movies under and over perform on various weekends — just like they did in the before times. Any take of that nature is necessarily half baked since current data is pretty limited — but if you don’t want to wait until December or September or whatever, I recommend at least waiting until mid July and seeing how things look.

Mendelson makes some good points at times

In the Heights flop because everybody is waiting for mystery Cannes blockbusters F9: F9 DOM opening > Chinatown 3 CHN opening = $399M.

Pretty funny especially after CRA got some similar criticisms about its (lack of) portrayal of darker skinned Asians and South Asians.

I’ve heard “avengers fatigue” and “superhero fatigue” twice this weekend in person. I blame all the TV shows. (off topic but Falcon & Winter Soldier is a chore to sit through, still only on episode 4).

anyway i can take solace in the fact that IN THE HEIGHTS (originally my #2 stan movie of 2020) is making significantly more money at the box office than my #1 stan movie of 2020, SOUL

Into the Depths.

i dont know why some of you are suprised the way i see it is like this : its a musical movie that someone can see for free in his/her home , why should someone pay more money to see it in the movie theaters, its not a big spectale nor a horror movie (in that case , its a better experience to see this kind of movie, in cinemas) .As for peter rabbit not suprised again , no hype at all the first one was almost certainly a break out hit like the life of pets 1 and now that the curiosity left we see the franchises real worth . Both a quiet place 2 and cruella had very good holds. Also i am still o
