IM of 9.5-10.5 was pretty much the expectation, sure it would have been nice to go over 10 with the inflated Sun but I agree with john here — pretty normal for a sequel to a 2018 movie with 11.67 IM. Would have had the same IM expectations for a MDW release of this in a non pandemic version of 2020.
Haha, fair enough.
If it does 600M I’d guess something like 210 China, 120 DOM, 270 OS-C. I’d call that “weak but not disastrous given the circumstances” for DOM and OS-C, full on cratering re China.
Summer is ON. As far as I can tell there’s no clear pandemic effect on the openers here — which is to say, pent up demand roughly cancelling the dampening factors. Pretty soon it will be all pent up demand and no covid dampening factors
I’m one optimistic day away from rebooting that BW 100M club.
Eh, Cruella is as I thought it should do True Fri wise. AQP2 like 10% stronger. As awesome as keyser’s numbers are to have, clear that it’s tough to extrapolate from them to national final nums in this environment until we’ve seen first few days of each run to get grounded.
Well, it’s quite possible that Cruella will end up being seen by more people, right? Theatrical admits will be like 5.5M vs 2.5M or something, online viewings 🤷♂️
It won’t go sub 200, it’s probably looking at same 205-215 finish that it has been since Monday. I doubt reception drops as hard DOM or OS-C.
Wonder if we could get a domestic @Rthtr sighting for the first time in forever. May need to prepare some appropriate gifs as offering.
Yeah GvK’s True FSS of 31.6M in early March (with free streaming no less) will still go down as a stronger performance than AQP2 40s true FSS end of May.
Is it that slow? This AQP2 weekend seems basically normal sized, and Cruella also might be doing the same as it would with its hybrid release plan in a world where covid never happened.
