The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Eric the Clown replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
When this first got announced, somebody mentioned that pretty much all of the love for the first MIB was Will Smith's presence, and nobody really cared about the actual lore or world of Men in Black. Independence Day kinda had the same problem too. I feel like having at least one of the two leads be a big A-lister would have helped the movie out immeasurably. Jumanji and Aladdin played it smart by replacing their former A-list star with another big A-list star. Jumanji even had two (arguably three if you want to include Jack Black in there) -
Using DL's Friday, if Pets follows DM3 17 14.3 11.2 42.5M If it follows Cars 3 17 16 13.6 46.6M If it follows Captain Underpants 17 18.9 14.9 50.8M So 50M could happen, but I'm with others on Cars 3 being the best comp here (even though Cars does seem to have a slightly inflated Sunday due to Father's Day). So I feel like this really has to impress tonight and in matinees tomorrow to really reach the half-century mark.

Ted got a 4x, people ate it up. The sequel suffered. TMNT got a 2.9x, which doesn't seem great, but is pretty solid for a movie that already had a built-in audience, and I feel like people liked it quite a bit. The sequel suffered. Fantastic Beasts got a 3.1x, which was way better than most of the Potter movies, and people liked it. The sequel suffered. Sure there were plenty of other factors that hurt these movies, but this isn't the first time a big hit film dropped a lot from its predecessor.

Simple. Solo's third weekend only had one movie that weekend cross 4,000 theaters, while the other two went sub-3K. The previous weekend also only had one movie even cross 3,000, and didn't sell anything. This weekend has Dark Phoenix at 3,721 theaters and Pets 2 at a staggering 4,561 theaters. Theaters were also forced to hold onto Godzilla with its 4,108 theaters, and Rocketman has 3,610.

Apocalypse had an inflated Sunday, so I don't think it's the best comp at the moment. But if Dark Phoenix follows King of the Monsters... 5 15.5 w/ previews 12.8 9.6 37.9 weekend If it follows Deadpool 2 5 14.3 w/ previews 10.9 8.6 33.8 weekend I doubt it will be as frontloaded as DP2, even with poor reviews/WOM, but that KOTM comp is still pretty bad.

@Menor I don't mean to bother you, but what are Pets' previews looking like? I'm honestly way more interested in that movie's previews tbh
