Just got back. That number sounds pretty much expected with the sneaks #. Still will be an enormous weekend, maybe some of the holdovers will hold better now.
I actually may see MJ1 tomorrow with a friend. Saw the previous two with him (somewhat randomly I might add) so I might as well keep the tradition going!
Yeah it's what I thought, the curse of higher expectations. If THG and CF had opened to around this we would be saying it was a solid opening. If it "only" makes 125m that would still be great, with the #1 spot of the year still very much in play.
Yeah F&F died for a bit and then came back. Potter just kept going for 10 years, pretty much without a break. It is easily the biggest pop culture property of my generation (~25 yrs & younger)
Yeah I also expect Neighbors to draw big which will cut into SM's audience. If Godzilla even comes close to living up to the hype, that could really cut it's legs off.
Cap really did open at the perfect time, huge blockbuster with no real competition for an entire month until TASM2 came out. Adding to that fact is that it is a really damn good movie, It pretty much was the perfect storm to play to it's box-office ceiling.
Cap's 2nd week drop (51.3%) was much better than both IM3 (57.9%) and TDW (58.3%). Hoping Cap can win a 3rd straight weekend, although Rio 2 may beat it.
