    Dory, is that you?! Pay attention or at least figure out how to use Google before you just spew nonsense. The film literally just fell 21% the weekend before last... I mean... SMH dude.

    It had a weekend drop of 21, but the best weekly so far has been 26.4.  You need week on week drops of 21.  Which it hasn't had.  It needs better than drops of 21 of you're only considering weekends.

    It has a reasonable per-theatre average BECAUSE it's been dropped from so many screens. If it was still playing in more screens it'd be significantly lower.

    Tfa was at 3365 theatres prior to Friday. Assuming the dropped theatres provide no revenue, then pta would still have been 232, dropping behind tr 289 and tfh 242, not supporting your statement

    Was this third week drop to be expected?

    Are you disappointed with a third straight week over 100m?  I think 118m is a record third week. I wasn't able to find any other film that had three weeks over 100m.

    American Sniper? That doesn't seem right. It wasn't in wide release for its first 3 week-ends

    This chart is weekends after release, not limited to wide release. AS was limited its first 2 weeks, then went wide its third. 

  5. I agree that it feeds on nostalgia. Mindless and nostalgia should never be used in the same sentence. Nostalgia is something that we should all have. It means you enjoyed yourself when you were younger. That is not mindless or pointless, but a very positive thing.There is nothing cynical in the film and what exactly is Disneyized about it?

    Gotta tell ya, when my woman and I saw three first trailer on this, we were both definitely going to see it. We knew it would be stupid, but it looked like a ton of fun. After it tanked the first weekend and about 90% of what we heard was horrible, we decided to wait until it came out on rental. (we usually don't see movies on OW for just this reason.) I'm still not convinced to see it at the theater, but at least I'm not dreading it like I was after the weekend.btw - 80s music is horrible. I do like it, a lot, and have a huge collection of it, but you gotta admit, Tchaikovsky it ain't.
  6. I'm not sure what you mean about 10% drops, by my calculations it should pass SM in the next 3-4 weeks (it depends on theatre drops).It will do at least 1.3m for this week (Jun 15-21) for $402.2m. That's a 23% week to week drop. The last four weekly drops have therefore been 23%, 29%, 35% and 14%. Let's say it has 35% weekly drops from here on out.June 22-28: $845,000June 29-Jul 5: $549,000Jul 6-12: $356,000That gives a total of $403.95m, which tops Spider-man.

    Oops, sorry. I applied the w/w drops to dailies. You are right, of course.
  7. I'm pretty sure Spider-man is going down, there's only 1.8m to go and THG is still comfortably over $100,000 a day. It'd take huge theatre drops to prevent it happening.

    For THG to pass SM, THG needs to either have better than 10% drops or better for the next month straight, or a push from expansion. Note, THG has only had three sub 10% drops since it opened three months ago, none of which were in the last month. Not impossible, but unlikely.
