Joyous Legion

Tfw multiple comments are about how TFA OW could last for a long time and it's out of the top 3 now Good thread though.

Now that's what I'm talking about for spider-man. Slightly below Dog PSA with its good hold though. Will be interesting to see how screens shake out next wknd.

Catching fire

Dog over 10M

Seems like strong Saturday’s for jackass and scream, hope NWH follows suit.

With overall sales much lower the plf % should be higher. Also likely to be doing less ps business in lower atp areas of the country.

So hey, are any of Zelensky’s movies like… good? How about that TV comedy where he played the president of Ukraine?

It’s hard to disentangle because: The final week is the big ramp regardless of when reviews drop this movie has been widely expected to be super good for the whole run already

Who cares? You are aware that this movie isn't coming out in 2020/2021, right? It's coming out now.

Judging based on expectations is always a delicate and tricky matter, but I think it would be pretty understandable to call a 125M opening, a 350 total, or a 700 WW an underperformance. Those would all be very poorly ranked compared to most past Batman movies, which is a decently populous reference class. Such nums are fine for weaker franchises/nonfranchise fare, fine for top tiers franchises in the aughts/early 10s maybe, and fine (more than fine, actually) for a pandemic era release. But covid is really wound down at this point, so... Edit:Joker comparisons make 0 sense though imo. That movie is an outlier and exception in an extreme sense, not really a Batman movie or an action superhero movie at all. Instead I would look at Bvs, Nolan, and pre Nolan Batman solos -- but especially first entries. Batman 2 will do gangbusters as long as Batman 1 delivers the quality.

👀 🤔

Is this weighted vs NWH final atp or t-5 atp?

Part of why I don't want to make much of a fi prediction is that I wouldn't have predicted the (relatively) gentle start in the first place.

Sheet updated. A brutal weekend for openers, I will probably be middle of the pack rather than a total disaster again. Basically @CJohn and @AN9815 jockeying for 1st

Yeah, Russia went in with the kid gloves here and it’s not getting the job done. Question is cut your losses or double down — could go either way I think.

Speaking of random monthly record trivia, seems that The Avengers will take the longest standing monthly record from Passion of the Christ as long as it withstands DS2.

I think you’ve got the right general vicinity. Seems like monthly records were set by: Planet of the Apes July 2001 with 68M Rush Hour 2 Aug 2001 with 67M Monsters Inc Nov 2001 with 62M HP1 Nov 2001 with 90M Ocean’s 11 Dec 2001 with 38M TLOTRTFOTR Dec 2001 with 47M (this is 4 monthly record breakers in less than a 7 week span wtffffff) Ice Age Mar 2002 with 46M Scorpion King April 2002 with 36M Spider-man May 2002 with 114M Austin Powers Goldmember July 2002 with 73M Goldmember was July 26th vs Apes 27th, so we can say 10 new monthly records in a one year (365 day) window

Calling all trivia diehards: What 12 month windows contain the most monthly OW record breakers?

Rather underwhelming for spider-man, may need that expansion for 800 after all 👀

3 MCU movies this year. 3 shots at new monthly ow record. Though DS2 is the only one that doesn’t really matter since it’s an “I used the mcu to destroy the mcu” situation. When BP2 takes out Catching fire it will be 5/12. Thor vs TLK is the shot at the 6th Infinity month to perfectly balance the calendar.

Well, 666 kills my derby 🤣

2.6, vs maybe 1.95ish 👀

The base case is like a 75%+ Sat jump for a ~4x IM

5 down, 3 to go

6 more days to 1.85, I guess 1.9 will happen eventually.
