The-Numbers predicting a harsher drop this weekend for Elvis than LY when the latter only grossed $1.61m today (they predicted only a 36% drop for its third weekend). It will be lucky to avoid a 60% drop
I'm not going to say names but people need to stop complaining about TGM's $4M Wednesday! It's not that bad. Like @TwoMisfits and @M37, it may have been inflated by senior citizens discount Monday. Let's please be positive about this. #ByeFelicia to the trolls.
Going by history, they usually have the best Wednesday drops and it was coming off of a smaller than normal Monday drop. @EmpireCity, thank you for all of your hard work.
Even with 45-day unnecessary (should be extended to like 90 days) window from HBO, $100m is in the cards thanks to summer weekdays. As for Crawdads, I haven't seen much marketing for it and the starpower isn't there like The Fault in Our Stars and The Girl on the Train. It's this year's Paper Towns especially if it gets an R-rating.
Same here. TG2 could have gone the Independence Day 2 (Will Smith being absent + atricious reviews), The Matrix Resurrections (HBO Max Same-day, releasing idiotically right after NWH), Blade Runner 2049 (stricter rating and almost 3-hour runtime) route in terms of box office. Instead, its fantastic reviews, marketing, WOM helped its epic run.
