Göhte 3 will have a similar situation like that. It starts on Thursday the 26th and has the advantage of Tuesday being reformation day and Wednesday being All Saint's Day, which is a partial holiday. So it more or less has a whole week with enhanced numbers.
Unless reformation day gets turned from a one-time-only event into a regular holiday, such a situation will probably never happen again. Perfect moment to start such a blockbuster.
Thor: Ragnarök also opens on Reformation Day, so it'll benefit somewhat as well.

Did Germany wake up?
It is greatly benefiting from a long Weekend. Today is a national holiday and a lot of people use the day before (Monday, October 2nd) as a bridge day. Also, the weather is quite cinema-friendly (at least where I live). Still, even on a normal Weekend It would've been pretty big.

That 53% increase is when adjusting to the current exchange rates, you would need to know the adjusted total of the first movie to have a real comparison, when it comes to the real total of the first movie, I would say that the increase is more around 20%-30% than 53%.
Still a sizable increase and much better than a lot of sequels this year.

I still think that a movie like American Made would go completely unnoticed without a big star like Tom Cruise. In fact, IMO 15m is decent for the type of film it is. Kingsman 2 could also have a drop right around 50%, which would be really solid.

Almost 900 m wasn't guaranteed.
Neither was 800 or 700 m.
And after looking at other franchises get fatigued like POTC, Transformers and Planet of the Apes not even 600 m was a sure thing.
Instead, SMH came pretty damn close to being the biggest Spider-man movie in history.
And how many reboots start with a film making close to 900 m?
Give credit, where credit is due. Just because Marvel Studios make these success stories look easy doesn't mean they actually are.
But since Marvel has already had so many success stories, another one in their pocket isn't really a surprise anymore. Still impressive, but not shocking/surprising. A few people were expecting 1b+ before release (which I agree was always unreasonable) and why did they predict that? Because of Marvel's track record. A Marvel Studios movie doing well (especially a more obscure one) is still really impressive, but it's also pretty much expected nowadays. Not so much with IT. Yes, people also had high hopes for that one, but it destroyed even the most optimistic predictions. Not taking anything away from SM:H, but it's nowhere near as shocking as IT's run (or Wonder Woman for that matter).

I'm actually not an Illumination hater. I think DM1 is awesome, DM2 and DM3 are very solid, Minions and Pets are okay. Haven't seen their other ones. With Blue Sky, I actually think that Ice Age 1 is quite underrated. That's a absolutely fantastic film IMO. The sequels got continually worse, though.

No Saturday numbers? I want Kingsman 2 to hit 40m.

Stronger might not be it, but I'm sure Gyllenhaal will eventually get an Academy Award. Like with DiCaprio, Jake is just too good to not get one at some point.
-
Do you guys think Gyllenhaal could get his Oscar for Stronger? I know it's still really early in the awards season, but his role seems like something the Academy loves to reward.

First of all, with the new reaction emojis I first thought that my PC had some kind of a bug. I only realised just now that they're actually Pikachu emojis.
Secondly, I totally agree that WAG made way too many spinoffs and that really hurts the brand. They should've had Lego Movie 2 for this year (same spot as Lego Batman) and have Lego Batman for either next year or 2019. No Ninjago, no other spinoffs.
Thirdly, Kingsman 2 will at least be on par with the first film, which is more than a lot of sequels achieve.

In any other year, Wonder Woman and/or Get Out would've easily been the box office stories of the year. But It beats them all in that regard. What an amazing year for box office this has been, and it's far from over.

So Warner has the two pop culture events of 2017.
Too bad they passed on mother!, could have been 3.
So far. But Disney will have the third one, which will be the biggest of them all. Still, Warner is having a banner year and I'm quite happy for them.

I really liked Spider-Man: Homecoming and it's had impressive legs (for a superhero movie) but it was far from unprecedented. Wonder Woman had an unprecedented, amazing run for its genre and even that movie pales in comparion to how shocking and impressive IT is doing. The box office story of the year and one of the best ones of all time. So no, there's really no comparison at all between them. Not even close.

September should at least end on a rather strong note with Kingsman 2 and IT, even though neither are going to be monsters. I would be very happy with 1m admissions for both of them.
-
Hopefully it can at least beat the first movie's gross, if not reach 500m.
-
So, I've decided to return to the forums after a few weeks of hiatus because of the boring-ass late summer box office only to come back and see that It is opening to 120m+ OW? I mean, WHAT THE FUCKING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK? An R-rated, non-3D horror movie is going to outopen a PG-13 MCU Spider-Man movie. Let that sink in for a moment. I don't think a lot of people realise the magnitude of this. This could miss a 2x multiplier at this point and it would still be one of the greatest box office stories ever. Absolutely insane!

I saw Bullyparade today and it was really funny. A return to form for Bully & co.. Will hopefully have strong word-of-mouth.
-
It's sad that Bully's humor just doesn't seem to be popular anymore. From today's standpoint it's insane that Schuh des Manitu and Traumschiff Surprise were such huge blockbusters (even though they were really good), but 10-15 years ago Bully was by far the most successful german film maker. But times change for everybody, I guess.

Sorry, but I just can't see a possible scenario where TLJ makes less than BatB domestically. I just don't see it.

Dunkirk actually had a slightly bigger Tuesday increase than WW did, which is really impressive. It will probably drop harder on Wednesday, but that's still a very good sign.

Do you remembr during the OW when people were talking about franchise fatigue, saying that Minions 2 will struggle and suggesting that Illumination will have to develop new IPs???
What we have now? Probably the biggest money earner of the year with a gross at least 12x its budget..
Franchise fatigue is going to happen eventually, though. For the long term Illumination does need new IPs, but for now they're obviously still more than fine.

Don't wanna be that guy cause at this point 780 vs 790 doesn't make much difference, but sub $60m from Japan would annoy me somewhat.
More annoying that it only needed a slightly better performance in China to reach 800m IMO. 170m+ in China is still pretty good, though.

Spider-Man, GotG 2 and WW probably all would've hit $1 billion. Exchange rates were so much better 4-5 years ago.
