    Also want to say that the numbers for TLJ are huge in a vacuum. The movie is already a huge success. That's obvious. But that's a different discussion from the drops and WOM. I'm just saying this so that whenever some of us are being hard on TLJ for its drops or whatever we don't get the usual "Can't believe people are disappointed in a movie that grossed $220M in its opening weekend and will probably end as the 3rd highest grossing film domestic" type posts. It's like, I'm well aware. It's a separate discussion.

    The goalposts keep being moved though. You would think the Friday jump would have been much higher than RO to make up for the worse drops during the week, not just equal it. When do we all start admitting the word of mouth on this is mixed?

    Can't use the calendar as an excuse anymore. If the fact tons of people were still in school was to blame for the weekday numbers then there would have been more pent up demand to see it yesterday and the jump would have been much more impressive. Can we finally get real here? This is struggling to stay that far ahead of RO in dailies.

    You're right. That was lazy. Keep forgetting FROZEN was technically in limited theatres for a week.

    It's quiet. Everyone just waiting for Rth?

    If TLJ goes the way of PoH, we're looking at: $29.9M Friday $35.4M Saturday $17.4M Sunday $82.7M weekend Based on the estimated $28.3M figure for today: $28.3M Friday $33.5M Saturday $16.5M Sunday $78.3M weekend Is somewhere in that range realistic?

    Sorry all. Just not having the best day. Anyway, some more schools are in session compared to last year. Fine. Today's increase will tell the tale. It's Friday. Everyone's off. It should have an even bigger jump than RO if word of mouth is indeed great and people are clamouring to see it.
  9. JB33
    By the way, is it almost impossible to post for anyone else with all the fucking ads? Like, what the fuck happened to this forum???
  10. JB33
    This. People, stop mentioning the calendar. We get it. The calendar is the same deal as last year with RO. Everyone seems to be conveniently ignoring the question about the difference in drops and just saying "But the calendar! The calendar!"
  11. JB33
    Brutal. RO's Thursday bump was 12.1%. Big numbers in a vacuum, obviously, but clearly WOM isn't where some people suggest it is.
  12. JB33
    Pretty much. We're seeing it in the dailies. Very interested to see what Friday's number looks like. If it has a much bigger jump than RO, then we can consider that the movie is course correcting and that its worse drops than RO during the first set of weekdays was an anomaly.
  13. JB33
    I'm not buying this "you simpleton plebs just don't get it or have lost your minds routine" anymore. The movie is FAR from a disappointment in the big picture, but nobody can spin these drops. Nobody can spin that it's only jumping a couple percent today (RO rose 12.1%). You may be some industry hotshot, Empire, but most of us arent idiots. Many will agree that, again, the big picture the movie is another massive success for Disney. That's not the issue. Stop moving the goalposts.
  14. JB33
    If that happens then there won't be much of a difference between the 2nd weekend of a $155M opener and a $220M opener. There's no spinning that.
  15. JB33
    Yeah, I'll change my tune if there is really that big a difference from last year in terms of how many schools are still in session. 17% of schools off compared to 38% just last year? That's a significant difference. I guess the proof will be in just how much TLJ jumps next year. They should be bigger than RO's jumps.
  16. JB33
    Yep. Time we stop using the calendar as an excuse. It's not flopping. Nobody is speaking in hyperbole here. We just have to start getting real.
  17. JB33
    Numbers are fine in the big picture, sure, but let's be real: these first weekday numbers are lower than most of us thought, regardless of the calendar. TLJ's drops are a tad harsher than RO. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying.
  18. JB33
    $16.8M-$17M? Yet another drop lagging behind RO.
  19. JB33
    Hmm, didn't know that. Good for him that he got that opportunity though.
  20. JB33
    I guess it depends on how SOLO turns out.
  21. JB33
    TLJ still on track for $17.5M?
  22. JB33
    Was just going to say this. I'm starting to use RO's box office behaviour as a barometer instead of hoping that TLJ will perform differently due to being a saga film (even though it has actually dropped worse than RO on both Monday and Tuesday). If that $17.5M number holds, it will be right in line with TO and perhaps an indication that jumps will start to be even better to compensate for the bigger Monday and Tuesday drops.
  23. JB33
    Didn't expect it to drop like that. @Christmas baumer what do you think this means for today, Thursday and the weekend ahead?
  24. JB33
    I'm surprised with such a big movie we don't have a Tuesday numbers thread yet. Forget Asgard, none of the other outlets like Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, Forbes etc. Have any updates at all.
  25. JB33
    Interesting. I have it at about an 8.125.
