[A Quiet Place: Day One | Paramount | June 28, 2024]

How much the budget this round? I suspect could be the most expensive entry for AQP since this round they pivot the movie more for like a monster-flick with a bigger setting in NYC.

Definitely looking like its accelerating for final surge. Based on Inside Out 2 hold this weekend, it will need high 50s OW to win the weekend. I wont rule it out but it will need final week similar to Apes to get there. 

That would mean a prequel spin off without original star attached to it is opening higher than the two original movies. Is that too good to be true? Especially after Furiosa flop.

Since A24 isn't posting a formal number, I guess I just have to note this number down somewhere here.

The Academy president made headlines this week for comments on gender neutral acting categories, they are exploring the issue. The Grammys are genderless now but still have over 90 categories. But people got mad that time Ed Sheeran won a category over 4 other women and called it sexist.

 

The gender splits for the non-acting categories and the Anonymous Oscar Ballots aren't promising. Plus, every year the headlines out of nominations morning would be, how many men vs women vs non-binary acting nominees there are. Is AMPAS really ready for the #OscarsSoMale and #OscarsSoWhite combo in the same year? But I get actors not wanting to choose a category when they don't feel they belong in either.

Another thing, look at the reaction to Margot Robbie missing Best Actress for Barbie: fans blamed it on sexism and the patriarchy, when the category still had 5 women and Gosling wasn't competing with her. Now imagine how much louder the backlash would've been if last season's hypothetical Lead Performance Oscar had 10 nominees but had gone 6/10, 7/10 male.

 

It is weird that people want gender-neutral acting category but when they gave it to them, they still obsessively focusing on the split of female or male in those categories.

This doesn't even need China and Japan anymore. 

It is refreshing to see all the billion dollar movie in post-Covid, with the exception of maybe JWD or to certain extent ATWOW, no longer needing heavy lifting from China to deliver massive number.

Italy OW look insanely huge at around 17m. It made France and Germany numbers look tad by comparison.

Deadline estimates $147 mil for the combined weekend, so we should be staying ahead of 2023 next week if Quiet Place doesn't disappoint.

 

Minions will add another boost for the fourth weekend, so we're in good business now.

Thanks to IO2 and BBDL, NA market is closing its gap significantly against China, which is still the world biggest box office market of 2024 until now. China typically leading in the first half because of their Chinese New year hit but they normally lose that advantage sometime in June. This year they got to keep the lead longer because the May is so terrible in NA but IO2 and BBDL is fixing that situation.

At least some great news from specialty market. Yorgos's film is playing a lot more like Anderson movie nowadays.

Could it be its last great hold since AQP is coming next weekend and I believe that movie is playing more than PG-13 monster-flick than typical horror.

Barbie isn't a PG animation like IO2, IO2 legs should be compared to other kids movies, not Barbie.

 

Also Barbie ran out space in the first week, which pushed business into second and third weeks. After that, it had just okay holds. IO2 didn't have to share screens with an Oppenheimer-sized opening in it's first week, which makes the sub-40% drop even more crazy.

700m requires 4.5x legs. None of the Pixar sequel, even TS3 and I2 with A+ cinemascore hit that high. All of them are in the 3x range. Neither the first IO had 4.5x legs. So I don’t know what made IO2 so special to stand so far ahead of its peers.

From what I’ve seen it’s not as PLF heavy as something like Dune: Part Two, which could mean loss of PLFs isn’t as big of a blow. Plus I think theaters could split PLFs with A Quiet Place: Day One. It’s strange because I know new product always wins in terms of PLFs and there are contracts in place for it, but theaters must have to wonder if it’s worth losing premium showings of a massive blockbuster to AQP: DO. 
 

Is it losing all PLFs this weekend or will they lose them for Despicable Me 4?

43% or 7% in imax isn’t much lower than other 100m opener. So IO2 has to go through the lost of PLF screen just like every other major movie. 

 

Updated PLFs and Imax drove 43% of business with another 14% from 3D.

Yeah, its tracking so similar to Barbie. I do see them ending around the same DOM for now.

Yeah until the pattern break, 625m is my target since both are having similar level of WOM. And unlike Barbie, IO2 needs to suffer bigger impact of losing PLF. 

[Weekend Thread (6/21-23)]

I don’t see the path to 700m yet because the movie so far has been following Barbie’s run with only Juneteenth break some pattern on Wednesday. If Barbie did about 4x leg from 162m OW with slowdown market in late Aug and September, I doubt Io2 can hold even insane than that throughout July.

Looks like it is gonna be an uneventful China run like the last one. The running rate didn't accelerate much throughout the day isn't really a good sign. I guess we can have at least eight overseas countries making more money than China for IO2. Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Japan.

[INSIDE OUT II | 48.8M overseas | 110.8M worldwide]

Wish and elemental may be flop or underperform but one thing you have to give is the big international draw. Wish’s international BO was 74% and elemental got near 70%. Way higher than average international share that we usually got post-Covid. IO2 utilise this international draw very great so far. Not even frozen 2 is safe. Maybe with or without Russia is the key now.
