MT continues to look notably stronger for it than Pika or Wick. 3 big holdovers yesterday vs today % of non-Aladdin sales: Wick 35-> 29.3% Endgame 20->24.6% Pika 14.5->14.3%

Total error of $14,420.00 😮

Don’t think that was a great music choice, but it looked fine.

Damn, now I’m sad over cancellation all over again

That record’s getting well and truly dusted if we play Will they or Won’t they with Avatar for another 3 months

Same daily multiple as IW from Wed would be 859M, maybe up to 865 if Imax rerelease over the end of summer 4-day. I think that’s quite optimistic though, still thinking O/U 850.

Jesus, look at that ATP difference. +38% admits, +77%¥

No, BOM thankfully doesn’t let their territory gross fuckups pollute the overall OS gross. The domestic gross, OS total, and WW total are correct, since they come directly from the studio. As corollaries: the BOM territory figures almost never sum up to the total OS figure The (correct) OS total minus an (incorrect) territory figure almost never gives the right amount for OS-[territory] gross. For instance, so many people thought IW passed 1B OS-C last year, because the OS minus the too low China figure was over one billion, but that OS-C calculation was off.

Is there going to be a trailer in the next half day ish? Hype

This was fine. Really liked Jasmine.

Til 2030? I dunno, feel like Avengers 7 or something might get there first.

The occam’s razoriest explanation currently seems to me that people in Mulder’s area are disproportionately disinterested in Aladdin. As to why this would be the case... 🤷‍♂️ Well, all will be clear in like 70 hours.

The Elf-Endgame comparison is kind of wild, but it did inspire me to look up the top adjusted 4th weekends, which was kind of fun. 1 Avatar Fox $57,646,500 6.6% 3,422 $16,846 $873,809,500 12/18/09 2 Titanic Par. $55,779,400 4.8% 2,746 $20,314 $1,169,231,000 12/19/97 3 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Fox $45,967,600 5.9% 3,024 $15,200 $772,763,100 5/19/99 4 Star Wars: The Force Awakens BV $44,970,000 4.6% 4,134 $10,878 $984,928,500 12/18/15 5 Spider-Man Sony $44,700,300 7.1% 3,876 $11,533 $633,006,000 5/3/02 6 Jurassic Park Uni. $41,742,300 5.3% 2,496 $16,724 $785,335,200 6/11/93 7 Marvel's The Avengers BV $41,159,800 5.9% 3,918 $10,506 $700,387,900 5/4/12 8 Black Panther BV $40,594,800 5.8% 3,942 $10,298 $694,840,800 2/16/18 9 Forrest Gump Par. $39,666,100 5.5% 2,117 $18,737 $715,550,500 7/6/94 10 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Uni. $39,589,600 3.5% 1,331 $29,744 $1,132,726,800 6/11/82 BP is the most recent movie. 3 from the last 7 years, pretty impressive. The only 2010s movie in the top 1 5th weekends adjusted is Frozen. Nothing in 6th-12th weekends, though I think Frozen is the highest 2010s movie for all of those.

Wow, I totally spaced out on the whole “Southern Hemisphere” dealio. That’s rather awkward for Frozen in like... half the planet.

I’m not a kaijuverse expert, but isn’t some of Mothra’s schtick dying and then being reborn? Was the door left open for that, or a relatively definitive “dead-and-gone-forever?” Also I haven’t seen Godzilla ‘14 and am not very likely too, but this one looks a lot more interesting/fun. Is there anything important from the first one that I should know to enjoy this? Or mostly its own storyline?

Pikachu touching 160 would be a miracle. It’s not easy to add 2x the 4-day, and Pika would need to do better (or have a much better 4-day than currently forecasted).

Clowns gonna clown

Pitch meetings is hilarious as always. We may not have had a good final season, but at least we’ll get to enjoy the quality memes and jokes it spawned.

It did great on the holiday Monday. Drop was expected. Same for IW, Gotg2, CW, AoU, IM3, TA. Every MCU movie in this release window does it.

Yeah, BOP shows extended rather than 3 day by default when doing a forecast for a long weekend. Bit of a hassle imo, but 🤷‍♂️. We’re on the same page for the weekend and the weekend multi then.

Re that BOP prediction, 22.4 seems just about right. It’s exactly IW’s raw #, slightly worse drop vs approximately similar competition after (likely) similar weekdays. If it does hit that it would still be on track for O/U 850 + possible Labor Day goodies.

I mean, that’s cool, it’s a nice glimpse into some community history, but... being part of a group to popularize a phrase in a certain subculture doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to control how it’s meaning and interpretation evolve 15+ years later. Most people around here weren’t active during LotR/BOM forum days. Most of the time you see someone called a loonie nowadays, I’m quite confident that they’re oblivious to this history and mean the normal English “loonie” — a lunatic. Someone who is crazy. An insult.

So how does this work again? I turn the lights off, say “walk up heavy” 3 times in front of a mirror, and it hits 100M?

I see a lot of animation there. Any chance for TS4 or F2?

We now interrupt your regu... errr, guess not. So happens that the “new #1 update“ and the “end of day update” coincide precisely this time. 17 PT 5/22/19 (End of Weds) 1 28.9% Aladdin 2 24.9% John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum 3 14.2% Avengers: Endgame 4 10.3% Pokémon Detective Pikachu 5 3% The Hustle I really wasn’t expecting it to hit #1 today. It’s facing around the same amount of completion as Wick, maybe the 4th day is giving it a nice boost in presales? Here’s last Wednesday for comparison:
