60M OS Monday is perfectly comprehensible given the previous record of 55M.
This is is a 60M OS-China Monday though, and I don’t really know what to do with that kind of a number.
This, pretty much. When a year has 4 good superhero movies, I’ll buy 4 or 5 tickets. If a year had 0 good superhero movies, I might buy literally 0 tickets that year.
Everything else has less of an ongoing narrative that I care about so I don’t mind waiting until I can watch it on a laptop.
60M is a total joke. I want to say something like “Monday was a partial Holiday, so it will increase less for May Day than TA1”...
but TA1 had the exact same Monday circumstance, and still increased 24%!!!!
So, you know, screw it. 80M Tuesday please.
Titanic is .78A If you think it has the possibility to be in play with a China breakout, than surely .8A has to be as well? I’m not suggesting something absurd like 5/6A.
Yeah, both is a very possible combination.
And hey, if we get very lucky, we might even be able to pull off 0.8A! Wouldn’t that be a feat, to come almost within 20% of the throne.
Talk about overreacting to a single data point (with possible levels of spillover never before seen and hard to extrapolate from). This morning people were talking about how 2.6 would still be a pretty great multiple, and with 1 more day of data suddenly I’m seeing a bunch of 3+ predictions!?
It’s possible, and I’d enjoy it immensely, but let’s just see how the 2nd weekend unfolds before we start talking 3+ legs too seriously.
32% above Avengers 1.
Also appears to be 32% above the previous schoolday Monday record. What a coincidence, huh?
Also, copied from the end of the weekend thread:
AM&tW is critical for getting the 2018 MCU:
A) one full Avengers1 over the 2017 MCU, WW
B ) a domestic total above JW’s WW
And potentially c) domestically above non-MCU Disney for the year and maybe every other studio

IW has a better calendar for the next two weeks but worse after that. Considering how important the first 20 days are (Jim films excepted) I think it should balance out to a slightly friendlier schedule for IW overall.
Hey, did we ever/do we ever get actuals for Thursday specifically, rather than the silly opening day Thursday+Friday?
Because it occurs to me that if the preview number was 38.69, the internal multiplier would be 6.66
