Indeed. But it was going to be a “horror,” and presumably still will be.

I suspect (and this is really, nothing but speculation based on some whispering that are hardly of ironclad credibility) that Derrickson wanted to lean more into Madness part and Feige more into the Multiverse part (as in, highly interconnected "event" solo movie that ties into WV, Loki, future movies, future shows, introduces new characters, etc). If so, if you were looking forward to DS2 because of the "MCU's first scary movie" talk, this might be bad news for you. I was looking forward to DS2 as a highly-interconnected event movie, and after thinking about things a bit more (and pending the identity of the replacement) I am pleased as punch.

That would be a dream, but they seemed to want to step back for like, a half dozen years at least, after being put through the IW+Endgame crucible.

Juicy deets. I'd be pretty surprised if it lost to AQP2, TG:M, and GvK, but crazier things happen on a monthly basis.

Completely agreed on all points.

If Feige and Derrickson wanted to go in different directions, I’m almost sure Feige’s will be more in line with my personal preferences.

Didn’t hate Derrickson, but hardly loved him either. I bet the replacement will be more exciting.

Is Mulan a deliberate exclusion, @Shawn? https://www.boxofficepro.com/the-15-movies-that-could-make-an-impact-at-the-domestic-box-office-in-2020/

It actually looks like Frozen is keeping essentially of its theaters this weekend, and having a very strong showtime hold as well. If 3 of the new releases flop and Spies start to falter I think it can stay around 50% of F1 for a while.

Victory for ZackM. International number is juiced by SK OD of about .55M. Expecting <5M full run atm.

For reference. TFA 3-day of 900k, TLJ 520k (-42%). If TROS Thursday is low 40s, 3-day could be ballpark 300k for a 415k cume or something. Finish maybe near 600k?

Seems like Dolittle will hold pretty well from OD. TROS seems to dropping around 40%, falling to #3 behind Ashfall.

Business should.

Pretty happy with my 3.8 guess.

Seems like low bumps. Jan 6 2013 and 2019 looked strong relative to other first Mondays back from break, 3 King’s Day might take a bit of the blame there. Did we get mod confirmation to do 4 daily threads instead of a weekdays thread, or still no word?

From the couple Tuesdays I remembered where you posted MTC1 admits vs Mon (Oct 29 and Nov 5) the Tues ATP was about 60-70% of Mon, would be +15% to +35% or so for 3.45-4.05 I’ll go for 3.8 between your data and ZackM’s.

Midday OD 85 Egg for TROS, 89 for Dolittle. Dolittle 38k CGV vs TROS 29k, Dolittle with a much better rate. Will win the day easily

I feel like we might be talking past each other a bit here, so I’ll try to rephrase one more time to be clear as possible: Because of opening a week before Thanksgiving, on a calendar where Thanksgiving is so late, those two effectively cancel out (+1, -1). It opened at the same point relative to winter break as a movie opening on Thanksgiving Friday would, effectively 2 days after a normal Thanksgiving opener. That’s why it has two days fewer despite dropping below 1M at the same point.

Yeah, the late Thanksgiving and the week before Thanksgiving release cancel out. Doesn’t really affect my point that the 2 day lead for other movies is from opening Wed instead of Fri.

Yep, 45 days. 2 days less than a lot of Thanksgiving Disney animation, which get 47 due to opening on Wednesday and falling below on the first non-break Monday.

If I was putting money down I would definitely go with Dario Agger.

Right now (about 10 hours to go until final PS) Doolittle has 34k PS to TROS 51k. I suspect it will be about even or maybe win on OD, but both will do pennies unless they become some WOM phenomenon.

Finally finished a recap before a weekday thread existed, hurrah.

If they just did an update, it’s almost certainly from Disney and completely correct.

Nobody is “done with comic book movies.” They are only “done with comic book movies until I get a call from Taika.”
