Punishment

So it looks like almost all the other movies are going to increase by double digits for Tuesday and TLJ drops 6%? That is a bit baffling; very curious how the rest of this week and weekend plays out.

DC missed a big opportunity with this movie C- for me

Trek 09 by quite a bit for me

Yea, $920 seems about right to me as well; was hoping for $938,490,001 , but that doesn't look very likely now.

TTT = $962m Kong = $938m Hobbit3 = $894m (ewwww) TFA needs a good Friday bump (close to 100%) to keep pace with TTT and around a $930-950m finish. A Friday increase below 80% will put it closer to the Hobbit movies and a $900m to $920m finish.

1The Revenant (2015)$4,023,383-61%

And here is the daily comparison of Hobbit3 vs. TFA for the past week: Hobbit3 TFA Sun -34.90% -37.5% Mon -66.40% -62.7% Tue 8.60% -0.7% Wed -25.40% -22.1% Thu -7.20% -3.8% Fri 83.60% 79.9% Sat 72.50% 78.7% Sun -36.20% -35.4%

I'm using the exact daily drops for each movie. The Monday to Thursday drops are reasonably close (as you have noted), but the Friday increase was way off; FOTR +198%, TTT +144%, and ROTK +118% compared to TFA +80%. The LOTR movies increased well over 100% for the next few Fridays as well and that is why I'm doubtful that TFA will follow any of those movies. I'm hoping to be wrong though and maybe TFA will surprise us and have more than a 100% increase this coming Friday.

Last time posting this graph as TFA really isn't following any of the LOTR; it is actually following the Hobbit3 the most closely. $925m to $950m is the more realistic range now.

With the $6m Thursday Kong daily = $981m TTT daily = $1.02b ROTK daily = $1.05b FOTR daily = $1.16b Using strictly the percent of gross each film made from this day forward (probably a better method): Kong legs = $946m TTT legs = $961m ROTK legs = $966m FOTR legs = $1.09b

1) Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice 2) Star Trek Beyond 3) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 4) The Magnificent Seven 5) Captain America: Civil War 6) Now You See Me 2 7) Deadpool 8) X-Men: Apocalypse 9) The Divergent Series: Allegiant 10) Kung Fu Panda 3

So no congratulation poster from Cameron to Disney? I'm bummed, those posters are pretty cool

40's here; Zhivago, Love Story, and The Robe are the three out of the top 50 that I have no clue about.

Probably, I'm trying to find a good comparison for somewhere between TTT and Hobbit3 legs.
