It is gonna be awful as we already have one near 100m and two near 200m movies (KP4 and GxK).

According to Deadline the marketing expenses was around 20m

Is there a reason why Wednesday number is higher than Monday all across?

The 3rd trailer arrives. They refer 93% on RT but it actually drop to 90% after 78 reviews.

So far all 3 rotten review are from top critics from 47 reviews. Rise to 94% but i think it will come down to 80%+ since I saw few negative reaction which will soon turn to negative review.

The revised estimate from WB had GXK lower at 31.2m instead of 31.7m whereas Dune 2 goes up 200k to 7.4m

Civil war is a very American-story which make it more appealing or familiar to mainstream whereas Monkey Man look more "foreign" and that is why they use Peele in the center of marketing more. Passionate response during pre-release could be very misleading when the key is the how the silent majority react.

Meh Friday jump across. Only GXK managed to increase over 100%. The Friday bump following Easter friday last year was a lot stronger where almost all holdovers got 100%+ jump.

GB:FE should come close to 90m by end of the weekend. 100m is pretty safe.

Dune got extra 250k on Sunday. Now it made 11.35m on 5th weekend.

The last big 3D format I saw cinema put on was ATOW. Since then, they are pretty much gone.

Are there more markets to come? I think France, Japan and Germany are still left to open but unexpectedly a monster flick like GxK has international share of lower than 60%.

GB holds notably stronger than the Marvels, as early as its first Sunday where it was already 2m ahead of the marvels. And it is doing much better than the Marvels during its first set of weekdays. It is holding nothing like the Marvels, with or without Easter I think still can. SoD is 67m and DnD was 61m after 10 days and both of them finished at 95m-ish whereas GB is already 73m.

I am actually quite surprised by GxK having a A- cinemascore. The movie stay pretty stable at 93% on VA which normally should translate to A.

So dune basically mirror Oppenheimer weekend grosses but the summer mid-week allow Oppenheimer to pull 30m ahead of Dune thus far.

- (1) Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Sony Pictures $4,325,000 +52% 4,345 $995 $52,181,786 5 - (2) Dune: Part Two Warner Bros. $2,240,000 +22% -32% 3,437 $652 $237,443,895 26

Too bad Miyazaki isn't around. They will sure give him a standing ovation.

As long as Heron won I am good, luckily we don't need to deal with MCU fans.

I think this is the first time BOT tracking team is beaten by media projection. I am not sure was it deadline or Variety calling a 60m few days before preview on KP4 but most trackers think that was too high.

Animation tends to perform better in Sunday than in Friday, especially for matinee show. If Zootopia is any guide, KP4 should do extra 1m in Sunday for 59m OW.

They are now fixed. 19.8m Sat and WB estimate a 30% Sunday drop so I guess the actual won't run far from here.

Other 1m holdovers. - (3) Ordinary Angels Lionsgate $2,030,000 -46% 2,323 -697 $874 $16,143,032 3 - (5) Madame Web Sony Pictures $1,125,000 -64% 2,015 -1,101 $558 $42,620,000 4 - (6) Migration Universal $1,100,000 -56% 1,507 -697 $730 $125,331,000 12 Migration didn't collapse under KP4. Now it has passed Aquaman 2.

Dune 2 is again, doing similar business as Oppenheimer in second weekend, except Oppenheimer is a summer release which give it an unchallenged upper hand during mid-week. Hope Spring break can give some mid-week boost to Dune.
