  1. Only briefly skimmed a little of stuff from when I was asleep but it’s pretty self-evident that both:  

    Way of Water OS performance was, once again, absolute insanity, particularly OS-C. Gross or admits doesn’t matter avatar is undisputed king franchisee of OS, and by kind of a goofy margin at that

    Domestically its performance was that of a big movie but nothing particularly special beyond that. The amount of people it attracted to the cinema is at that “one of the bigger movies of a year” level not the “one of the biggest movies of a generation” level. And that’s true if you look just post-pandemic, let along bringing earlier years into it

    I just realized Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) might actually be a good comp for DPW second weekend onward

    Hmm, intriguing. The calendar lines up correctly in terms of Labor Day/return to school, and competition lines up relatively well too.

    Gotg:

    true fss 83.12M

    d4-10 82.2M (~99%)

    d11-17 46.15M (-44%)

    after 111M (x2.4)

    DPW:

    ~99M (+19% Gotg)

    est 104M (+26.5%)

    Quite realistically follow Gotg for ~57M //559

    after that Gotg had insane late legs — x2.4 is avg ~29.5% drops, would give +137M //696M

    more modestly perhaps x2 -> 559+114=673M   
     

    Overall I would guess that the gotg1 offset week straight comp will overestimate for a while but it’s definitely a useful comparison to keep an eye on and see how much it’s sliding (or not) as we get more data rolling in

    So for some reason I can't find the dailies for past movies on box office mojo. Can someone give me a comparison or at least something that I can see for myself in terms of movies in the summer on their second Saturday and what their increases are? 

     

    The only ones that I know from memory is when Crystal skull came out in 2008 and it's Saturday increases we're typically in the 50% range. 

     

    I can't see how Deadpool and Wolverine would increase that much on a Saturday and so that's why I'm asking you guys if you can help me out? 

     

    What about Barbie or Oppenheimer? What was their second Saturday increase? Anyone who can help me out much appreciated.

    AM&tw +38, love and thunder +34, FFH +36 (D12), AM1 +36, gotg1 +38, bb:RoD +42

    Not to get technical, but I think this doesn't apply to domestic since it's still entirely owned by Paramount stateside, no? Unless we're including all Disney-involved-in-one-way-or-another movies, of course.

    Yeah the wink there is since both claims are kind of dubious/messy. My simple understanding of the titanic situation is that it was fox produced and os distributed but paramount DOM distributed, which is enough for me to previously count it as a fox movie and a paramount movie and now as a Disney movie and a paramount movie, when talking about dom. Also some who would argue that even if you do count it as fox it’s kind of a sketchy include as a Disney movie on top 10 since it made enough enough for top 10 before the acquisition

    It's a pity there's basically 0 chance that IO2 and DP&W leg it out past 674mil to pass Titanic, you'd see Disney controlling 8/10 spots in the top 10 with 1 of the other 2 still being MCU...... just for the hilarity of that stat

    Cope #1: Top 10 first runs

    Cope #2: Titanic is Fox is Disney now

    Honestly, even though that movie made a lot of money and is still impressive looking at what it did considering it was a Doctor Strange sequel, it's kind of embarassing now comparing it to Deadpool and Wolverine's numbers right now. 

     

    The fact that Multiverse of Madness fell 67% in its second weekend despite releasing in May (not as frontloaded a month as July) and had literally no competition in its second frame shows you just how mixed at best the word-of-mouth was for that film. 

     

    It may have been an event the first weekend, but it wasn't the case after that. In Deadpool and Wolverine's case, it's gonna remain an event until it's box office run is over. That's why we are even discussing the possibility of it matching or exceeding what Inside Out 2 will do domestically to become the biggest film of the year. 

     

     

    Even DS2’s OW was pretty disappointing tbh

    How funny is it that people were declaring 2024 to be a terrible year at the box office because of the impact of the strikes and yet we may have two movies (and released by Disney no less) that will or might outgross the entire domestic run of Barbie ($636.2M) from last year.

     

    I'm not saying these two movies singlehandedly saved what was a bad start to the year and a terrible May, but I just want that to sink in. Insane!

    Yeah as one of those ragging on the year earlier, Jan-may were indeed BLEAK but IO2+DPW doing like 1.3 DOM when it could conceivably have been like 750 is a pretty real boon

  8. “Any cbm can be nitpicked” is kind of a weak sauce copout. Some of them have really glaring logical/plot issue that are apparent on first watch and require major suspension of disbelief, and some are very well put together with only minor issues that you have to go actively digging for. And that correlates reasonably (though not perfectly) with reception
