    Guardians has had some really nice holds this summer.

    Finishing about as expected after the OW… which is to say I agree, since expected it to have some really nice holds. Having the deflated OW helped some but it also continues to hold on well in late legs, simply a crowdpleaser final entry in a consistently crowd pleasing and well legged trilogy. Gunn’s track record for pg-13 CBMs is impeccable so far and hope to see that continue.

    I mean, Morbius checks all of those boxes other than $50M, and the bigger the OW you go the more relative size of Thursday previews becomes a factor and skews the weekend numbers (like DH2, which was -57% Sat/Sat vs Morbius -66%)

     

    And between the BOGO offer for Sat and ATSV now taking back IMAX shows for Sunday, I'm not yet sure Flash avoids the -73.8% of Morbius, could see a weaker than norm Sat/Sun hold

    Yeah Morbius is the bar to not have to invoke 50M. I am pretty curious about Sun

    Nah, would have done $50M 2nd weekend if WB didn't generously give away tickets for the movie event of the year. 

    The beauty of the B1G1F is that it increases admits but the box office is still credited for the full price of both tickets! So it’s mechanically a pure boost — and still a 73% ish drop ☠️

    @Cap shared this with me (user in the tweet is a wrestling fan), and we both agreed this fit BOT to a tee every single time they get into these petty fights over these dumb kids movies.

     

    Can’t wait for the same crap next week with Indiana Jones. Probably 5 pages minimum people will whine about how Last Jedi ruined everything somehow (hint hint that we aren’t doing this next week. So don’t even try.)

    Practically every other post it sounds like you hate (or at least are exhausted by) this place and most of its user base, so I am asking 100% sincerely — why do you spend so much time here?   
     

    I feel like in 2018 or so you had a vibe of really enjoying being around here and following box office and then through the years that”s just steadily and steadily declined and been replaced by bitterness. Doesn’t seem great for you or for the people you’re constantly ragging on.

    I prefer to use the Opening Week to help balance out seasons, and there its even worse between good and bad, and especially for Flash (total grosses estimated for films still in release)

    The average/median performance is around 2x OWeek, but with CMBs a bit more frontloaded by nature, close to 1.9x is the the approximate baseline (dotted line)

    Top tier is GOTG3, ATSV and Batman, which had a short theatrical window that cut down on legs (would be closer to ATSV without the HBO release). BWPF and BA are above average (aided by holidays), while Thor and Strange are below it, but not significantly so. The bottom 4 just crashed from OWeek, rejected by audiences outside the initial opening, Flash likely to set a new low water mark

    WF fighting against the veterans’s day in denominator to a degree. Insane that QM missed bottom 3 despite having pres day in there

    Three consecutive new #1s happens a fair amount, usually Wed/Thur/Fri, or Thu/Fri/Sat. But last time we had 4 in a row was 1/21-24/2018

    • SUN - Jumaji WTJ
    • MON - Den of Thieves (by like $600)
    • TUE - 12 Strong
    • WED - The Post (Oscar nom bump)

    Wow, 22k short of or Jumanji of Th of having a 6 in a row streak of new #1. This one will easily get to 5 and possibly 6 (or 7???)
