I think -40% on mon Dec 20might be better than a -34% on Dec 21, looking at other movie's holds on mon Dec 21 vs Dec 20. But waiting to see the other holds this year.
So from 52% PS hold to ~60% gross hold, a 15% PSm increase right in line with expectations. Canada also held well per @DAJK. Beta, gamma, small+indie will have the worse drops but overall this should be more like EC's num than gitesh's.
TFA took the record on the same not a holiday mon and beating TFA’s not-a-holiday Mon gross would pretty much assure the record. NWH’s Sun was 4M higher.
