500 has looked unlikely since preview night. It simply didn’t open big enough. The only people having to move their estimates down much are people where I don’t really understand why they had the high estimates to begin with.
MCU pre-thanksgiving wknd Multis:
TDW 3.7x
DS1 3.9x
Rag 4.1x
Et 3.6x
Even 3.7 would take 65 to low 460s. I would peg it more like 4x which takes 65 to ~480
All the discussion around 2ndwknd/ow and total/ow completely ignoring that it was holiday inflated is really tilting me. You will have more informative numbers for both if you pretend it opened to like 173M instead.
Unfortunately it is somewhat realistic that we see
mcu quality collapse -> mcu bo collapse -> industry dies
over the next few years. Hoping for quality to recover instead though 😛
80 would be excellent.
Following Rag % of sat sun, would be 72 — but Rag 2nd wknd was vet boosted!
Personally I’d take anything over 70 as a pretty good drop.
Edit: DS1 would take to 79, but that was even more vet boosted (fri instead of sat) and is a 1st entry/much smaller opening.
Quite an unfortunate incident of course but these two polish deaths are like, not even a percent of a percent of innocent lives lost to Putin’s territorial ambitions this year — and certainly not going to lead to any direct NATO combat. The bad outcome here is that aid to Ukraine is reduced and the good outcome is that it’s increased.
Yes, thanksgiving mon is soft since there is some level of formal school break for the entire week and some level of people informally taking off monTues to get a 9day off period.
Technically The Chosen: Season 3: episodes 1&2!
It's the season premier of the Jesus christ-y crowdfunded tv show, being screened in theaters as a fathom event. Sales are pretty monstrous (relatively speaking) and the holiday special last year did over 13M: https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Christmas-with-the-Chosen-The-Messengers-(2021)#tab=summary
Very likely top 3 this weekend.
Precisely expected mon if not slightly good. If it makes total that someone expected look harder than it did 12 hours ago, you were probably overestimating total or are underestimating postD4/D4
Neat that the BOP reported lines up so close to what I was using. (Technically I had 2% 2017 to 2019 and 20% 2019 to present but felt it was likely a smidge conservative)
I was using 22% since rag, ~ 10.24.
Not sure what math you're doing factcheck -- if you assume rag and bp1 similar, meaning 23% since rag, that would be 12.5 for WF ->10.16
