Any idea yet on the repeat business? It has to be a larger than usual percent. Also, are people taking their kids to see it more than usual with this type of movie?
Fox counts Puerto Rico twice . It includes it in it's Domestic Total and it's Int'l reporting total.
Mojo is the only B.O. site that subtracts one for the correct WW total.
It also had openings last week in a few Asian markets where drops are usually high (Philippines, Hong Kong etc) . Russia was it's biggest market and it's also front loaded.
Just as with last week it looks like GOTG's west coast numbers were over estimated with early projections by Niki, Deadline et al..
Not as bad as what happened with DOFP's second weekend. I think those started around $50m before they went down to $36m
Movies lost theaters and screens last not that they aren't getting back. Most of the bigger drops are from movies that were scheduled to lose a big % of theaters on Friday. The Thur previews just made that happen earlier..
They probably, like other more than 2 week old films lost evening screens last night not just showings or being moved to smaller screens. Just an early jump on what they're going to lose on Friday.
Those 5 year olds - nostalgic for those halcyon 2 year old days when there was no Kindergarten and life was free and easy and temper tantrums were far more allowed. sniff
Rsyu, shouldn't the latest be dated by 8/08 - these are Friday numbers, correct?
Wow Roaring Currents will break $75m this w/e
GOTG might struggle to reach $10m by the end of it's run.
Then GOTG opening weekend # would have reported as $83.4m which sounds less impressive than $94.6m and T4 couldn't have even fudged it's way to a $100m w/e. They all play by the same rules.
Those are all older skewing movies. Part of why GOTG has had such great weekdays is because it has a significant younger demographic that's not working.
GOTG could drop 60% this weekend and still do $250m+. Mid $240s would probably still win the summer. By any measure a fantastic #.
Those who were thinking that despite $11.2m in Thur previews it was going to drop less than 50% hoped for a $300m+ breakout
It lost a huge chunk of it's big screens which have a premium ticket price Into The Storm.
I think Turtles will be more competition in the morning, afternoon and early evening shows because of it appeal to very young children than it was in the post 7pm shows.
A 50% drop would need an 75% Thu-Fri jump and then a 50% Sat jump. Ehhhh...
