I can think of one good reason.

TBH, I feel like several people here are much better at extrapolating data and making sound projections than any of the trades. Especially people like Charlie, who has actual data and numbers to work with.

Not on Friday. They usually just do an update on Saturday morning.

My OW prediction at the moment is somewhere around 185M, give or take 10M. I'm also predicting an IM of about 11x, which is slightly above Beauty and the Beast, and is a good share above Incredibles 2 (these are the movies I've been using as reference for a while now), and I feel like Lion King won't have as much upfront demand for the weekend as those two. So basically, my own projection for previews at the moment is about 16.8M. Give or take 3M or so. If it reaches 20M in previews, then I'd say 200M is all but locked.

Just let him be. He does his own thing, and we just kind of let him do his own thing. He's not harming anybody, so...

Certainly relevant in the world of meme culture. And tbh, that's the best place to be relevant.

https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-forecast-the-angry-birds-movie-2-47-meters-down-uncaged-good-boys-whered-you-go-bernadette/ Angry Birds Movie 2: 19/70 (Don't know if the 19's for the 3-Day or 5-Day) 47 Meters Down: Uncaged: 15/39 Good Boys: 15/43 Where'd You Go, Bernadette?: 11/45 Yesterday: 10 OW. N/A for total

Julia Roberts didn't get a star until just now? I'm actually kind of surprised.

Yeah Dory did something like 45.5M for the true Friday, and the Saturday was 45.6

When the first early numbers came in for Endgame, Charlie said 90M Friday was happening. Add that number to Endgame's 60M previews, and you got 150M. About 7M off of course, but he did divide this from previews to true Friday. He could be doing something different, but it would be weird of him to suddenly change his reporting with no warning nor clarification to others.

Pretty sure Charlie always does true Friday.

@TMP

Runtimes w/out credits and attachments for next week's releases: Annabelle Comes Home: 1:41. Attachments unknown (probably It 2 and Doctor Sleep) Yesterday: 1:48. Attachments are Downton Abbey and Abominable

btw because I know people here are eager to do this throughout the weekend...can y'all not? Just...just don't.

Obviously it's important to kind of take early Deadline preview projections with a grain of salt, but that's still a very strong preview number. With about...let's say an 11.75x multiplier (I just spitballed that number) that would be about $141M. Hopefully the previews see an increase when we get the final numbers (although I think final previews have almost always increased from early Deadline projections)

youre really weird

I didn't ask for this.

I've developed a database right here for everyone to look at. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q-1UceCRkSh3BraIvvm0XDJyoUJsyrq8oOufQvjP7Qk/edit?usp=sharing There's also stuff from a guy called AK Valley who manged to get into the code of Pulse and helped us find exact data. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zNm6jmYaVu4doQWQR6psnxz6f2AMSuKVlfEe6TOnZ5k/edit#gid=1758182291 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NBK-Sj8qK3GXl-iOdHYeD94YRNxWJ9HqZ9OKdGoSx2o/edit#gid=1246392742

This was an interesting read.
