  1. Given how long films ran and the staggered global releases back then, it would be pretty hard to figure out if Pretty Woman actually hit 4th WW before Ghost passed it. They were only 3-4 months apart.
  2. So Mario potentially over BvS's easter weekend record if we toss in Thursday evening shows to make it comparable. Maybe without Thursday if Sat is closer to flat 👀
  3. Wolf of Wall Street got a C and its highest drop in the first 8 weekends was 38%. Only two others were above 30%. Even for the winter holidays, those were good legs.
  4. From the perspective of moviegoers, Bad guys doesn't really register either. Lightyear passes its total in a few days. Lightyear cost 3x as much, so financially it flopped. Audience wise, they are basically the same. Sonic is the only thing approaching a blockbuster for kids a bit too young for Marvel/DC since theatres returned. And that was 3 months ago. All of this seems to be benefiting Minions 2.
  5. Some of you put way too much stock in cinemascores, especially post-covid. Eternals with its B had better legs than Civil War with its A. The Batman is sitting at 2.75x with a traditionally low for superheroes A-. Audiences don't exactly have an abundance of blockbuster choices right now. There is one other film between now and six weeks from now when Jurassic hits.
  6. Hitting Rogue One domestic is dead. Rogue One will go from being 50M behind on Tuesday to being maybe 10M behind this coming Monday. My guess is that Rogue One pulls ahead by the end of weekend 4, and that weekend 4 for RO is 8-10M higher than TROS. I still think that Disney pushes TROS to 500 if it looks to get close (which it does), but I am not expecting much better than BatB domestic.
  7. "New" as in not currently running. Not necessarily new IP. Could be a relaunch. Could be 2027's equivalent of Potter or the Hunger Games. Who knows. 10 years is a long time.
  8. TROS is not the last chance at 600M in the next 10 years. Come on. You can have an entire trilogy of blockbusters that haven't even started yet in that time. Nevermind stuff like Jurassic World or Black Panther that were being pegged at half of what they made domestic before release.
  9. Disney's eventual 11B+ worldwide this year is pretty insane. Beating their own record by over 45%. Worldwide annual studio record has doubled in the past 5 years.
  10. Some of the legs difference between BvS and JL is due to the fact that BvS opened easter weekend and JL opened the week before Thanksgiving. Some of it was the audience not caring to rush out to see it. By the logic above the Mockingjay films had a better audience reception than The Hunger Games or Catching Fire.
