Malaysia only BO is probably about 58m. The occupancy rate is still quite decent for potential 60m finish. FINAS number was 57m but that number lagged few days behind the latest number.

I was just joking to my friend the other day Anora will win at Cannes because it is from Neon. Didn't expect that turn out to be true for Neon. 5 years in a row of wining. Isn't that a bit too great to be true?

Well it’s basically impossible for GxK to get to 200m now. The theater cuts really hurt it. It’s actually going to miss Skull Islands worldwide number now too. Darn.
If only WB willing to do something for that 200m , like this random reexpansion for GB: FE.

Both Garfield and Furiosa has bad Thursday to Friday ratio and walkups, this pretty much confirm my theory. If you have a bad walkups on the Thursday preview day, that effect of bad walkups will just got carried over through over the weekend, unless there is crowd shifting to Sunday from Friday due to long weekend.

This actually holding pretty ok and follow closely with the Lost City, the difference is Fall Guy opened slightly lower. Still thinking that Universal put wrong marketing focus to try to sell this movie as a tribute to stunt, ignoring the fact that even the industry peers themselves tend to overlook Stuntman, just look at how Oscar snub the entire department after nearly 100 years, let alone general public.
-
At least IF and Apes hold reasonably ok. With just 50% 2nd weekend drop, IF could be another 100m movie for tepid May.

Interesting that Garfield is getting such a shrug domestically after its pretty good OS performance.
Actually for the overseas market where Garfield has opened for weeks, such as Mexico, Spain or Germany, Garfield is doing about half of what KFP4 made in those markets, thus make sense for Garfield to open at 30m OW.

Furiosa is a reminder why we should really be careful when come to online buzz vs real world buzz. Furiosa definitely has more online talk and that early stage of presale suggest passionate love is indeed present. On the other hand, nobody seem to care another Apes reboot and that movie overperform.
With that, I am quite confident with IO2 because there are real talk about that movie in my social circle. This is what i call the organic buzz.

Well, usually it was teens to mid 20s people who would be the main audience but this year every big movie has 60%+ audience over 25. So there's definitely some disconnection on many levels now.
And female audience. Female demo continue to underperform in the exit poll. I saw many movies with crazy 60%++ male audience turn out. Female audience is a key component in moviegoing habit, they are like kids, when they want to see a movie, they tend to pull another uninterested guy to the cinema like how kids drag their parent to a movie that the parent would otherwise, never had the intention to watch it.

Sometime you are feeling hopeful for the market after a meh reviewed movie like GB:FE and Gxk still managed to open big but on the other hand plenty of great received movie turns out not resonating with the crowd.
One key observation in the post-Covid world is people are getting polarised even for movie taste. That is why some movie no matter how hard they tried, they simply can't spread their goodwill beyond their target demo, resulting some ridiculous gender, age or ethnicity split. People refuse to give some chance to the people they aren't comfortable watching no matter how much great thing they heard about them.
For Furiosa and Garfield, I can't blame studio didn't try. They tried their best to market. Furiosa even got favourable review on their side but many just went tone-deaf.

I seriously doubt that 25% Sunday drop for Apes’. Actual should come closer to 25m instead of 26m. Either way, the movie prove itself that enjoying better WOM that people realised.
-
If that 35m holds that would be 20x IM for IF from its 1.75x. That is really good IM in a while. And somehow it manages to come close to its wildly overestimated tracking.

Where is Deadline getting this 40 million opening stuff from? Nothing in the presales seems to indicate that.
Yeah, it is trye more often than not tracking here were way more accurate but there are still instances where trades call the number right before the tracking show any sign. Recent example are KFP4 and Apes. Both are tracking around low-40 but trader call out ~55m OW way ahead of tracking.

QuoteSouth Korea’s box office in 2022 was KRW1.16 billion ($884 million at January 2024 rates of exchange), and in 2023 grew only 9% to KRW1.261 billion ($964 million). The gross revenue was some 44% behind 2019’s peak of $1.46 billion. For Korean producers, the numbers were even worse, as their share of their home market fell to 48%. That was a respectable end-of-year figure, but honor was largely saved by an unexpected November-December hit, “12:12: The Day.”
QuoteThe early months of the current year have seen the unlikely Berlin pair of “Exhuma” and “The Roundup: Punishment” not only do strong business and propel March to a record, but also increase the polarization between success and failure.
QuoteThat is a measure that the national government appears to be taking seriously. After an experiment started in November, it was announced at the end of January that films accepting state funding will have to agree to a streaming window of perhaps four months — though there may be exceptions for smaller films, defined as those with budgets under KRW3 billion ($2.25 million).

Remind me of Lyle Lyle crocodile. But I am hoping that 40m OW would still happen so that we finally can have a 100m weekend after 6 weeks, plus we can't put the entire hope of the family business on Garfield. From how it performed in overseas, Garfield will do alright but not breaking out like a megablockbuster, so we still need If to perform decently.

Didn’t expect unsung hero become the biggest beneficiary of mother day when fall guys, a more female friendly movie didn’t manage to jump at all on mother day.

As long as Garfield doesn’t breakout to 100m OW, there shouldn’t be any big issue for may to accommodate two families friendly movie.

For Imdb it should be missing Australia and Brazil but since for the latter it isn't true I guess it's just Australia then
Australia is there in the list of country breakdown as one of the major contributor. So i guess the movie has opened in all major markets.
Anyway, Apes is another franchise that face big collapse in China. Now it isn't looking good either to pass the first Rise movie which scored $30m in China back in 2011. War did 380m+ in WW-Ch, Kingdom should be able to clear 325m from here, not that too big of the decline.
-
That Saturday bump for Apes is quite healthy. Overall, I would say 2024 openers do better for their first Saturday jump compared to what we had in the past 2-3 years.

justice for BR2049
BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017)
I don’t understand at all, one of the most baffling audience reaction out there.
The movie itself is great, I witness it myself. It pays tribute to one of the most important component of the human civilisation, Book. The movie constantly remind us what give human beings its power over the earth. The ability to store knowledge through words and book that many seem to forget or take it for granted in this digital era.

I Saw Apes, and truly, its cinemascore is an injustice. But I can sort of understand why this is the case. The movie pacing is slow, like BR2049. Although there was some action-packed scene throughout but when it is cold, it is really slow. Also, some characters design within aren’t exactly your typical hero arc. That could be problematic for some if they are expecting some cliche heroic moment.
But the visual effect is incredible and effective. I would say the effect is even better than dune 2. Strongly recommend to watch it in theater. You won’t have that atmosphere and attention through your home small screen.

Weekend Numbers [05.24 - 05.27, 2024] | 4-day actuals | 32.3M FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA | 31.3M THE GARFIELD MOVIE | 22.3M IF | 17.6M KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

While in Malaysia, this weekend is the best weekend in 2024 for movie business thanks to combo hit from
a new local breakout and the insane hold of a Hong Kong movie. Garfield come in at number 3 and furiosa only managed to open to number 5 but collectively the top 5 movies generate one of the biggest aggregate weekend gross in post-Covid era. Avoiding over reliance on Hollywood product is paying off the Southeast Asia cinema.
