Legion Again

Yeah if this had a 9.3 or something (like F8) we wouldn’t be talking about low 200s it would be going to 300+ easy.

Raya keeps on keeping on, that Tenet target is very real. DS continues holding pretty well — this is actually the record anime 5th weekend, pretty sure. Finally over Pikachu at the same point. Very sleep weekend overall though, yeah.

Thinking 3*11 3-day is pretty reasonable at this point. Would likely take the over if pressed. That would be quite fine.

This seems pretty compatible with Jat’s sentiment, no? If mainline films post 8 are coming back to earth at 850M or something (in normalcy) then it’s true H&S was performing at mainline level.

Hmmm, that’s like ¥1287 at current ERs. Th-Fr-Sat is already 681. Assuming it adds 3x Sunday (could beat this given lack of competition) would need Sun coming in at like ¥152. Doesn’t really seem possible, with final PS of 36.5 or so it should at least hit ¥165. I guess you could get there with a 166 Sun and adding 2.65x, but that would be really weak legs and don’t really see it. ER situation will be what saves it from missing $200M.

I see Croods was able to make more than 2x its OD after all. 1 Fast & Furious 9 THE FAST SAGA U.S. May 19, 2021 $2,343,721 ($7,711,374) 264,708 (890,946) 2,288 84.78% 2 Stand by Me Doraemon 2 Japan May 19, 2021 $96,926 ($359,762) 12,436 (46,478) 570 3.5% 3 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie - Mugen Train Japan Jan 27, 2021 $71,863 ($17,398,934) 8,199 (2,036,438) 385 2.59% 4 Spiral: From the Book of Saw Hungary May 12, 2021 $32,415 ($1,053,146) 3,581 (119,584) 408 1.17% 5 The Courier U.S. Apr 28, 2021 $24,250 ($2,462,464) 2,965 (300,485) 262 0.87% 6 The Croods: A New Age U.S. May 05, 2021 $21,473 ($1,716,928) 2,777 (219,221) 249 0.77%

Maoyan has Sun at 182, then adding 3.9x the Sun off a 56 Mon. Strikes me as pretty optimistic even without much competition to speak of.

Sun PS are trash, have been thinking ¥180 or so for a while now

Do we know what top 20 or 25 import admits are?

Meh, knock another 40 off. Under JL (yes I know this one has extenuating factors 😛 )

Don’t see this making top 15 imports. Bar is FFH’s 1417

Sun sales 👀

🚀🚀🚀🌙

The similarities to TF5 here are almost spooky. I think this will go lower in ¥

Comps are also generally awkward because some localities might have had a lot less covid recovery vs March than national avg, whereas some will have had more than avg.

Gonna try China 240, DOM 140, rest 310, for a nice 690

USD PTA compared to others will be pretty huge.

So now 8.0 huh. Maoyan will end up in the 7s presumably. OD hit its target, but Sat PS look WEAK

Yin and Yang Morning pace is great Maoyan in at 8.1 I’m about to go to bed, continue to think F8 is a somewhat reasonable comp, going to go with 345 but we’ll see how this has all shaken out when I wake up.

Starts 8.0 TPP

It ended up closer to F8 than H&S in PS, and will probably be closer to F8 in PSm as well. I’d definitely ref H&S hourlies if I knew where to find ‘em though.

For easy reference

In breaking news, survey reveals that people think CBMs are big-screen worthy and a lot of other movies aren’t. 2016-2019 were unavailable for comment.

I’d say :25 or so to be safe that you’re really seeing the new hour’s data. The pages for individual movies updated promptly at :20, but they no longer show the hourlies anyway.

Reviews still matter, even if less so. H&S had summer+low competition+lower opening to try to leg from. Wasn’t sure what competition looked like for F9 — I figure probably weak, but since I was describing floor didn’t bother to check 😛
