It is common for box office reporting methods to change but if there are any changes I suppose historically they should be adjusted also.
Besides way these early access are being done and THU is basically a full day now, there should be some change in reporting them.
Simple. The record is 153M.
Also likely TGM will do more than that.
And not just that, pre 2013 there will be couple of films with THU previews not added in OD like they do now.
Man of Steel had 7PM-Midnight previews of $12M for $128M OW.
Iron Man had $3.5M Pre-midnight previews for $102M OW.
I think things are better for Bollywood than South in this regards. There are many better quality version of older movies available, mostly the popular ones than South.
the main reason I am thinking it may drop is because it has no reason to increase. it's just a generic sequel and those lose audience as they go.
ofc none of this is based on any tracking or data, just what I thinks.
Some FRI # by demographics
Caucasian
Top Gun ~ $31M
No Way Home ~ $40M
DoctorStrange ~ $31M
Others
Top Gun ~ $21M
No Way Home ~ $81M
Doctor Strange ~ $60M
yeah that's one concern but WoM should bring others. Even am excited to see how sequel to such eh movie (I watched it first time this week) is getting this sort of reception.
