Naah. I think fandom is intact. Fantastic Beasts are too small to affect fandom.

From PS seems like $39-40mn Sunday. Disney IMO will give $37-37.5mn Sunday estimate.

Rise of Voldemort is easy $1.5 Billion.

Can say same about Pattinson in Batman.

Shang Chi is far fetched, yeah agreed. Doctor Strange will be 2nd/3rd biggest of year after Avatar 2 and Thor 4.

Idk why WB are wasting their biggest IP. Fantastic Beasts was terrible idea. If they wanted Dumbledore-Grindelwald rivalry to be prequel, they should have gone for direct prequels, not by Newt Scamander route. Though I will like prequel series of Voldemort. The first film can focus on rise of Voldemort and then next parts on Wizarding World War 1 with James-Lily Potter and Sirius in lead focus and I have perfect guy for snape in mind, Adam Driver.

Actually now that I am thinking, it killed FB franchise not HP and FB. If there is another HP spinoff not from this storyline, I will totally watch it.

To be frank, he was flying over 700mn at beginning of month. I guess our tracking thread is what bring prediction down on internet as it is very popular on reddit. Had there been no thread, I can easily assume people would have been expecting atleast $200mn.

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of JK Rowling I guess not completely off but I don't know how I sat through that garbage.

UAE 19-21 December 2019 Thu-Sat Actuals. In Bracket Thu-Sun Estimate. Dabangg 3: $993k ($1.08mn) Lowest Salman Khan opener since Tubelight Jumanji: The Next Level: $840k ($0.1mn) // $4mn ($4.15mn) Cume Big drop due to new releases. Shall do well in next 2 weeks. Still thinks $7mn is possible. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: $625k ($0.72mn) (-47% The Last Jedi, -64% The Force Awakens) Frozen 2: $570k ($0.66mn) // $5.6mn ($5.7mn) Cume Increased from last weekend. Biggest Animation film in UAE already, shall easily cross $6mn, may be $7mn.

Its 47.5 since noon.

yeah corrected that. the new number is $509mn Approx after $450mn January 1st weekend https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eEaG17pnLrg98zE84fWvvu_oVCucn0333xLm4QoxbEs/edit#gid=52946538

TFA didn't grow on January's first Tuesday. There are no discount day in first 4 weeks. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2691925505/?ref_=bo_sh_tx But yeah $36mn after $36mn is low. I would have done some formula error. Looking into it.

Will be posting yearly and all time data in next few days.

500.

well, you seem to be deriving powers from dark side.

Frozen 2 Probable Dailies Note: Don't quote this post. When you quote the spoiler box is open and that make page messy on mobile, defeats the whole point of putting it in spoiler box.

$31mn weekend. $716mn+ cume. I think around $945-955mn closing.

Star Wars crap weekend. OD ₹1.2cr, Saturday and Sunday combined looks like ₹3.5cr. ₹4.7cr ($650k) weekend. - 55% TLJ and -73% TFA (Adjusting from Inflation -60% TLJ and -80% TFA).

Just for perspective, Avengers Endgame worldwide weekend will be 3.3x of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker worldwide weekend.

Yeah around that. -21-23% in same markets as TLJ.

In my opinion, Star Wars is very good universe to begin with and I am sure Disney will do great job in the new trilogies. Just ignore Skywalker Saga now. Focus on Asia, SW can be huge here. May be USA/Europe won't be that big initially, but if Asia is cracked, it will be another MCU for Disney.

In TLJ it was still fine. I had hard time digesting force projection/ghost doing as much as they did in TLJ but in TRoS Force users are fucking superhero + Wizards. The things that force users do in TRoS look cool, and I actually think a Jedi should be able to do most of them, but they cheapens the previous films as you basically keep thinking why didn't they do that in some specific situation in previous films. In OT, jedis were basically, some mind tricks and martial arts. Now they can fucking... I won't go in spoilers now.

yeah, I would expect Disney numbers to be 90 47.5 and 37.5.

That's about -21.5% from Saturday PS. PSm will increase, shall translate to $39.5-40mn Sunday. A little higher drop than what I was expecting.
