Thor before Ragnarok & after Ragnarok aren't same. Love and Thunder should have done closer to $500M DOM if it was well made let alone $400M+.

Only decent Indy film. The other two I have watched are horse shit. Temple of Doom & Crystal Skull. The latter is bit better. Temple of Doom is 🤮

Top Gun Maverick Highest grosser ever in Saudi Arabia with $18.2M. Full run $20M+ surely, may be $25M. Avatar 2 expecting $30-40M.

Rather silent thread for a Hollywood movie doing equivalent of $100M. Top Gun: Maverick Week 0 - ¥0.333B Week 1 - ¥1.799B Week 2 - ¥1.572B (-12.6%) Week 3 - ¥1.347B (-14.3%) Week 4 - ¥1.188B (-11.8%) Week 5 - ¥1.004B (-15.5%) Week 6 - ¥0.800B (-20.3%) Weekend 7 - ¥0.361B (-7.7%) Total - ¥8.403B I haven't paid much attention, but I think around ¥8.95-9B by this weekend, with a bit higher drop this weekend. Full run possibly ¥11-11.5B, in normal times will be $100M but now $80-84M due to ER.

I don't think BN is rated enough to call it overrated.

It also happens to be that I don't really like early Spielberg movies barring E.T. Love his later films like Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me if you Can, Bridge of Spies, Terminal, etc.

Jaws is

My most is 3, for the latter.

Posttrak is strong as well. 4.5 stars, 87% positive, 70% recommend.

did we swap glasses? I found Dominion a lenient 3 as well.

Thor seems like 18-18.25 Minions 10.1 Crawdads 5.5 Fury 2.2

None of the numbers here are from EC since his ban. Last year, since I didn't get my access activated, I reached him to provide me with raw numbers and I would provide early estimates, which he posted here. I am still waiting for my original access, right now I have access to numbers after day end. EC is still giving me the raw numbers and I do have Sat numbers but I have decided it won't be fair to post here or anywhere since he and forum aren't on good terms. The numbers I posted in last 3 days are from my end of day source and not EC. The numbers in title are Studio estimates which Shawn shared yesterday.

Thor: Love and Thunder Week 0 - ₹23cr Week 1 - ₹77cr Total - ₹100cr ($12.6M) ₹125cr final mostly. Minions: The Rise of Gru Week 0 - ₹0.8cr Week 1 - ₹8.2cr Week 2 - ₹3.1cr Total - ₹12.1cr ($1.54M) Jurassic World: Dominion Week 0 - ₹4.6cr Week 1 - ₹53.9cr Week 2 - ₹19cr Week 3 - ₹6.6cr Week 4 - ₹1.8cr Week 5 - ₹0.4cr Total - ₹86.4cr ($11M) Top Gun: Maverick Week 0 - ₹3.5cr Week 1 - ₹21.8cr Week 2 - ₹8.5cr Week 3 - ₹4.1cr Week 4 - ₹3.3cr Week 5 - ₹2cr Week 6 - ₹1.3cr Week 7 - ₹0.7cr Total - ₹45.2cr ($5.8M)

Buzz is very low. They need to come with better trailer. Last one didn't move needle. LSC must do ₹250cr NETT, though better be ₹300cr+. Anything less won't look good.

Harkins Saturday Crawdads - 9049/38921 (206 showings) $88,438 Y'day Harkins was 1.61%, assuming 1.61-1.67% today gives $5.3-5.5M. Sunday pre-sales are quite good. 2193/38114 (200 showings) $21,028, just 15% down from SAT. That should normally mean better hold than 15% but can it really have a sub 15% drop?

Bleh opening for it. THU and FRI dropped despite being holiday. 825-850K weekend, including previews 960-985K. Could struggle for 2M full run.

Ragnarok in same markets is $390M. Adjusted for ER & inflation will be around $350M. There is something I am missing. Thor 4 should be quite a lot better than Ragnarok. Will check. Edit: The major decline from Ragnarok is Korea, dropping $10M approx in Gross from Ragnarok. Europe won't grow much from Ragnarok either. Overall opening day in same markets was +40% Ragnarok while weekend was 29%. Ideally with good WOM, it should have perhaps done $425-450M in same markets but here we are.

when did it ever look bad?

you could have made 4 separate posts. not only you are not apologizing but also eliminating 3 extra posts, keeping the page count low.

Possibly $375M final. DOM looks like $325-340M.

Surprisingly better weekdays than Far From Home for Thor 4. 2nd weekend will be lower than FFH. Thinking 4-4.25M 2nd weekend. There isn't much competition. Should do 35M+ full run, may be even 37M+.

Don't worry. Watch it get great ER magically.

that 550 is par/likely better than OS-China-Russia i.e. around $645M.

I have got 2 words for you. 3D and Exchange Rates. I've to check data, but safe to assume that DSitMoM is watched by more people internationally than Iron Man 3 excluding China and Russia. Edit: Realised the convo was abt Thor 4, not DSitMoM. So mostly ignore the above. BUT I think ideally Thor 4 should have done those DSitMoM numbers atleast. DSitMoM should have done probably 20% better.

Can you start Halloween & Scream comp @Porthos or you didn't track it?
