  6. At a $350M opening, Avengers: Endgame would make 51.6% of A:IW's entire domestic gross in 3 days with the preview. It took A:IW in between Day 7 and Day 8 (with the preview) to reach 50% of its whole domestic run.

    This really does make the other large opening weekends (IW/TFA/JW/TLJ) look sort of disappointing retrospectively (not that they are). 

     

    All that talk about TFA and IW approaching a cap on an OW...and then the floodgates open like this 

    All other things being equal (marketing, competition, etc.) TFA's and TLJ's openings would've been larger outside of December with worse multipliers than they received.

  8. And here I was thinking days ago that $320M was a pretty high but reasonable opening for A:E but it's going way past that. The movie is also only benefiting from 1 year of higher ticket prices vs. Infinity War, while IW benefited from 3 years of higher ticket prices than Age of Ultron.

    Disney should be good for at least 5 top 10 finishes this year, CM, Endgame, LK, Frozen 2 and SW9

    2 Marvel Studios: Captain Marvel & Avengers: Endgame

    1 Pixar: Toy Story 4

    1 Disney Animation Studios: Frozen 2

    1 Lucasfilm: Star Wars Episode IX

    5 Other: Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King, Artemis Fowl, Malificent 2, etc.

    ...and the tricky part for this year is that FOX is now Disney too going forward.

     

    Or 6, provided that Toy Story 4 doesn't fall off a cliff despite 9 years of ticket price hikes since the last one.

    It's harder than folks think for Disney to break out and get more of their slate to into the Top 10 domestic. Captain Marvel is obviously going to grab one of these slots. The other 9 are still open. They're averaging 4.2 Top 10 slots per year in the past 6 years. Captain Marvel looks to finish around the median of #3 or peak of #4 or #5 on this chart across the past 5 years.

    There's only so much money people are gonna spend on the live-action remakes and spamming them may be leading to a certain amount of cannibalization, and they're not a connected cinematic universe. The typical movie-goer accounted for 5 tickets last year and 4.7 tickets in the prior year according to the 2018 MPAA report.

    Captain Marvel needs ~2.66 (Day 18+0.55) final multiplier to match The Hunger Games $408M.

    CM is currently in between these two movies presently, one that got 90% domestic total in 37 days and the other in 31 days. MCU first entry movies have hit 90% an average of 33 days with an average multiplier of 2.99. The current range has been a floor of 23 days for The Incredible Hulk (2.43) and a ceiling of 43 days with Guardians of the Galaxy (3.53).

    CM = THG 2.67 + 0.11 = 2.78 

    CM = BaTB 2.88 - 0.16 = 2.72

     

    Captain Marvel just needs a greater than 2.6 multiplier to hit $400M. A 2.6 multiplier would be the second worst first entry multiplier in the MCU after The Incredible Hulk not accounting for the calendar. But maybe its Thursday Preview to First Weekend multiplier being as low as it was for a first entry portended a more frontloaded than average run.

    I don't think people mean legs overall, the drop to second-weekend thread was pretty big with -62%.

    But the multiplier of the second weekend is quite nice (the number is (final - first week)/2nd Weekend, that means it added the multiplier-1 after the second weekend)

    THG 3.72x (58.6M -61.6%)

     

    B&tB 3.05x (90.4M -48.3%)

    TA 3.4x (103M -50.3%)

    JW1 3.34x (106.6 -49%)

    BP 3.65x (111.7M -44.7%)

     

    Sequels:

    TDKR 3.59x (62.1M -61.4%)

    JW2 3.50x (60.9 -58.8%)

    TDK 3.92x (75.2 -52.5%)

     

    CM

    AIW 2.97(114.8M -55.7%)

    GOT2 3.17 (65.3M -55.5%)

     

    There THG suddenly jumps ahead of every film but TDK.

    Yeah this is why I also calculate when (day number) a movie hits 90% of its gross, it's another telling statistic. Multiplier doesn't tell how fast all that money was made after the first weekend, just that it was made and exists and is however times larger than the first weekend.

     

    The Hunger Games was 37 days to hit 90% of its domestic gross.

     

    Finding Dory has a better multiplier (3.6) (29 days) but Incredibles 2 took way more days (36 days) to hit 90% of its gross with a lower multiplier (3.33).

    If Titanic barely hit your criteria of female centric film, I don't get how SW got that title.

     

    New SW  franchise was never a female centric film, except Rogue one, Rey in SW is one of the lead in the ensemble cast, her screentime, the arc of the story, was never meant to surround her. I feel like KYlo Ren was more leading than any of the character.   

    Star Wars is an ensemble however Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones had a plurality of screen time (%) if not story in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

     

    ninewheels0 screen time breakdowns - largest on-screen roles (plurality)

    Luke (SW:ANH): 37.50 minutes (31% of runtime)

    Luke (SW:TESB): 34.75 minutes (28% of runtime)

    Luke (SW:ROTJ): 34.25 minutes (26% of runtime)

    Qui-Gon (SW:TPM): 35.50 minutes (26% of runtime)

    Anakin (SW:AOTC): 48 minutes (34% of runtime)

    Anakin (SW:ROTS): 52.75 minutes (38% of runtime)

    Rey (SW:TFA): 43 minutes (32% of runtime)

    Jyn (RO:ASWS): 36 minutes (27% of runtime)

    Rey (SW:TLJ): 30.25 minutes (20% of runtime)

    Han (S:ASWS): 55.50 minutes (41% of runtime)

     

    SW new trilogy screen time totals (SW:TFA + SW:TLJ)

    #1 Rey: 73.25 minutes (25% of runtime)

    #2 Finn: 49.25 minutes (17% of runtime)

    #3 Kylo Ren: 34.25 minutes (12% of runtime)

     

    I'd say storywise, the story in SW:TLJ was more about the two white men and their pain and feud than Rey's story, in a similar way I'd say SW:TPM isn't Qui-Gon's story.
