Now look, I’m not some greedy maniac to demand a 6M Saturday here. Just gimme 5.9 😈

Sun PS down more than 50% from Sat 😬

Jesus, Deadline is spinning this one hard. Missed the source, was BOP but presumably just conveying WB’s PR. That’s more understandable then.

Whaaaaaatttt, is this for real? Never seen a late night from Rth be 12% off. I will be living with an expectation of a slight downward adjustment come actuals, but still great — 13+ is back on track 🎊

Uhh, didn’t CM have pretty good presales here?

Yessssss, yessss, excellent. All unfolds according to keikaku. I can feel the R$150 in my bones

AEG only 37.5% above Us on MT now with 9 more updates today to survive. I think it will actually spend a couple hours out, but at least it would be CM that takes its place.

Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Black Panther, and Infinity War all had WOM that blew Shazam’s out of the park. So did Wonder Woman, for that matter. Ah, sorry, missed we were talking about a specific BOM showdown. Weird showdown tbh, but it’s true that only IM1 there had stellar WOm.

Some people might be surprised by the increase on non-holiday week 7

~30 for Shazam next weekend. Then maybe 20. Then Armageddon.

I think he was talking about IW T-20?

100 has financial implications, 400 doesn’t. Luckily CM won’t need the help.

Deadline usually tries to spin things in the favor of the new opener imo, unless it’s doing so undeniably awful that they do a full 180 and figure they can get more clicks by excessively piling onto it.

I think the chart came out strange since I’m on a tablet atm. If anyone want to copy in a nicer looking version from PC go for it.

P storm just took the lead, 15:20ish. Wondering how far ahead it will finish.

BOX OFFICE FOR APRIL 5-7 1 Shazam! NL/WB 4,259 $20M $51.5M $54.8M 1 2 Pet Sematary Par 3,585 $9.7M $24M $24M 1 3 Dumbo Dis 4,259 $5M (-67%) $18.2M (-60%) $76.2M 2 4 Us Uni 3,512 (-231) $4.3M (-57%) $14.1M (-57%) $152.7M 3 5 Captain Marvel Dis 3,573 (-412) $3.3M (-39%) $12.9M (-38%) $374.3M 5 6 Best Of Enemies STX 1,705 $1.75M $5M $5M 1 7 Five Feet Apart CBS 2,484 (-362) $1.2M (-38%) $3.9M (-36%) $41.8M 4 8 Unplanned PF 1,516 (+457) $1.1M (-62%) $3.8M (-40%) $13M 2 9 Wonder Park Par 2,281 (-1,023) $564K (-54%) $2.2M (-54%) $42.2M 4 10 …Dragon 3 DWA/Uni 1,928 (-857) $525K (-53%) $2M (-53%) $156.7M 7 Well that came out formatted... strangely. They’re .5M higher than Rth on Dumbo, .2 lower Us, .2 higher CM.

Holdovers 30M, EG 280... >90% of BO for a single weekend incoming

Yeah, about 210/335 for me.

Those are all good. Going above Solo WW would be nice too...

Some weeks it’s hard to tell. Some weeks it’s not.

Yeah, but even knowing their number is too high there’s a question of by how much. So if they were off by 1M and we got 13.2, that would be a great drop with Shazam coming out but not too implausible off of Thurs. With Rth’s Friday I think Deadline will be off by around a full 2M, maybe more.

Very optimistic 3.2*3.85=12.3 Very pessimistic 3*3.7=11.1

Not bad BEST OF ENEMIES, THE (2019)

So the answer to “how high was Deadline” is “very.” 11-12.5 is still a solid drop with Shazam doing 50.

Pikachu has never been scheduled for an IMAX release. The tentative IMAX first half 2019 schedule announced Jul 30 went AEG->Ad Astra->G:KotM, and as Matthew posted the current schedule goes AEG->JW3->Aladdin->G:KotM. IW didn’t give up its IMAX until weekend 4 either. I checked earlier because I can’t see it with my stepdad until May 13 or later, was relieved to see there’d still be IMAX available.
