    Usually Sunday.

    I'm wondering if Infinity War might actually retain the majority of the Black Panther audience for this very reason alone. Would make the DOM race between the two much closer if that's the case.

    Besides the release schedule, the time of year would also have to be taken into account. Jurassic World would have had bigger weekends if it wasn't burning demand in the summer boosted weekdays. It does seem releasing in the holidays/winter (weak competition and bigger weekends) gives the best chance of holding #1 consecutively.

    Avatar spawned an entire theme park land and a Cirque du Soleil show, as well as numerous exhibits around the world. It has definitely had a cultural impact.

    Pirates 4 was still making very good money at the time. I'm surprised they didn't siphon off a few thousand dollars here and there to give G&J the milestone.

    Aside from the jealous protagonist subplot, SLOP reminded me more of Homeward Bound than Toy Story.

    Isn't Zootopia the biggest original animated film of all-time? Here is a list of top original films (not based on anything existing).

    Japan has always been a weak market for CBMs unless they feature Spider-Man or team-ups like the Avengers. Black Panther is actually performing above the average Marvel/DC film there, which usually gross around $10 million.

    India has so much potential (second only to China for OS market size by revenue), but Hollywood films have great difficulty breaking out. Apparently, over 85% of India's box office is from local movies like you mention.

    I wish other types of films could be as competitive like in the past decades, but it looks like the box office will continue to be dominated by Marvel, Star Wars, and (in a few years) Avatar sequels for a long time. When you look back even as recent as the 90s, you had all types of genres break out. Forrest Gump had 78,614,600 admissions (more than The Avengers), Home Alone had 67,734,200 (more than the Last Jedi), and Twister had 54,688,100 (more than Age of Ultron). There's no way any of those films could come close to their original admissions if released today.

    Just for comparison, here are the number of estimated tickets sold among the Top 10 21st-century films: 1. The Force Awakens: 108,115,100 2. Avatar: 97,309,600 3. Jurassic World: 79,049,200 4. The Avengers: 76,881,200 5. The Dark Knight: 74,463,500 6. Shrek 2: 71,050,900 7. Spider-Man: 69,484,700 8. The Last Jedi: 67,479,700 9. Dead Man's Chest: 64,628,400 10. Return of the King: 61,639,700 Black Panther's current estimated number of tickets sold is 61,221,700 including this weekend.

    According to BOM, the Avengers and Jurassic World would also have higher admissions. Both adjust over $700 million ($705.8 million and $725.7 million respectively).

    The March roster is so boring this year. I wish just one film can break out and do more than expectations.
  14. KP1025
    It looks like Marvel is aware of the issue and are introducing new characters soon to take advantage of the massive Asian markets. https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/marvel-creates-chinese-superheroes-to-draw-asia-fans-1.3756608

    This has been getting quite a bit of discussion around me. A lot of people I know who normally avoid horror films have expressed interest in its unique concept.
  16. KP1025
    $8-9.5 million does seem too low for a Friday increase. Then again, Deadline were right on the money with their $16 million early Friday number last week.
  17. KP1025
    And I believe BP's score was partly mitigated from dropping even lower by a large number of MCU fans countervoting against the 1-star reviews. AWiT has far fewer dedicated fans, so it makes sense that not many are voting against the obvious troll reviews.
  18. KP1025
    Biggest 4th Weekend record actually belongs to Avatar ($50.3 million), not TFA.

    MT.com update: 1. A Wrinkle in Time: 32.6% 2. Black Panther: 25.4% 3. The Strangers: Prey at Night: 7% 4. Red Sparrow: 4.8% 5. Game Night: 4.1%

    I think that would be a positive and not a negative? The goodwill from Paddington could make people more likely to check out a similar movie. It wouldn't be seen as a rip-off or copycat since the source material of Winnie the Pooh predates Paddington, not to mention both are from esteemed English authors. I don't see a reason why audiences won't connect just as well with this film as Paddington- both have thrived separately on their own merits despite being very similar (small anthropomorphic bears living in England).

    I can't think of something like that happening in the U.S. Two movies releasing on the same date and both making over $500 million. Add a third film that has also made close to $350 million also released on the same day.
  22. KP1025
    Holiday legs should carry it to a very respectable total though I'm still not seeing a huge breakout like a few are predicting. I think its gross will end up closer to Sing than SLOP. OS gross will probably be quite low compared to Illumination's other films considering the live-action Grinch seriously underperformed outside the domestic market.

    And it's been available on Digital HD since Tuesday too.
  24. KP1025
    Douban score is currently 6.8 after close to 7,500 reviews. Maoyan score is usually quite a bit higher, so hopefully the score doesn't drop below 8.0.
  25. KP1025
    The Chinese New Year release probably helped give it a huge holiday boost.
