$50M ✅
$3.7M more will put it in the top 3 highest-grossing foreign movies at the North American box office.

This movie felt like it had 5 prologues.
Spoiler rant below:
Spoiler
First, we have the mid-20th century newsreel, which makes it look like it's setting it up to be placed in an alternate reality. Then we have the LA being nuked. Then we have the scene with John David Washington and Gemma Chan. And then we have 5 years later.
It just felt like a massive info dump, like watching the third movie of a trilogy with the first two movies being summarised in the first 10-15 minutes!
SpoilerIt also felt like there were massive chunks of the middle of the movie just missing or scenes that should have been way longer, shown almost like they were a montage. The scene where Washington finds the robot copies of Gemma Chan, for example, was less than a minute, and it felt so out of place because it's Washington and the kid shown on a random train. It really felt like it was part of a much longer sequence that was cut.
SpoilerAlso, the random Japanese translations of whenever there was English text onscreen (including the end credits) felt really out of place. And I honestly cringed at the naming of the unimaginative name of the country most of this movie takes place in - "The Republic Of New Asia". Like, seriously? You couldn't think of anything more original than that?

Antonio Banderas was in this for 5 minutes and got third billing!

This might be a stupid question, but how does Box Office Mojo already have Monday numbers?
-
Saw Box Office Mojo's numbers and then had to double-check with The Numbers to make sure that Flash didn't have a true Friday that was almost 50% lower than its Thursday previews!
-
You said there were titles that didn't have enough points to get to the top 50. Curious to see the whole list.

For what it's worth, it's still $21m ahead of Avatar 2 at the same point (13 days in).
-
If both ROTJ and ROTS have 549 points, why aren't they both in joint-third place?

it also has the most bottom rankings out of any film in the entire countdown, making it's placement a bit confusing. but it was listed on almost every list 33. and had a few mid-rankings. I guess next time I will stress if you don't like it don't list.
You seem to have some personal vendetta against this movie. I guess next time I shall vote it number 1 just to spite you.

The next title is way too low and will anger some people for being this low, (including me) but I am very excited to do a write up for it. It is a fan-favorite.
Empire? Rogue One? Andor? TCW? KOTOR?

I have some question about Japanese language,I heard ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ pronounce is really similar in Japan, I want to know is there some different between these two word?I re-listened again and agin found “brother” is like “Ni Song”,”Sister” like “Nie Song” right?
Older brother is 兄(ani)/お兄さん(oniisan). Younger brother is 弟(otouto). Older sister is 姉(ane)/お姉さん(oneesan). Younger sister is 妹(imouto).

OK, that's more in line with what I expected, so I guess it's back to $17-19m for the weekend then!

A brutal drop for the ages.
$2m would be sub-30%, so actually better than I would have expected. Might need to revise my weekend expectations to $18-20m if it does hold above $2m.

Anything above a 40% drop on the weekend would be a disaster, if anything it should be more like 22m
Unless it has very soft drops Wednesday and Thursday, it would need like a 160% jump on Friday and 110% jump on Saturday to get to $22m. I was trying to be realistic!
-
Off of that Tuesday, and the good Fri/Sat jumps Ava2ar's been having, I think we're realistically looking at a $17-19m 6th weekend. Could challenge Black Panther's 6th weekend for 6th place. But don't quote me on that.

Highest grossing movie pre-covid: Avatar
Highest grossing movie post-covid: Avatar: The Way of Water
Technically the original Avatar didn't reclaim its box office crown until after the pandemic began.

Wednesday and Thursday figures are rolled into the weekend in certain overseas markets where the box office "weekend" is defined as Thu-Sun or Wed-Sun.
The international weekend gross of $88.6m isn't a Fri-Sun gross, it's a sum of the "weekend" grosses in each overseas market, so that's Fri-Sun in some markets, but Thu-Sun or Wed-Sun in some others.
Curious if its Sat-Sun for Japan.

You ever heard of this tiny lil film called titanic?
Titanic opened in less than 3,000 cinemas. Though to be fair, at the time not many movies opened in 3,000+ cinemas. The Ring (2002) opened with $15m, then went on to have 18.4m, 18.1m, and 15.5m second, third, and fourth weekends. However, just like Titanic, it opened in less than 3,000 cinemas.

Comping the OW/Oweek to IW and Engame gets you to about ~$295 OW for TFA, and presumably the absence of holiday pushes some more business into that first week, so $300M+
But then you lose the holiday boon and face stronger competition in May/Jun/Jul than Dec/Jan/Feb, so a lower total and higher OW/Oweek and a much lower multiplier
TFA would have opened on a Memorial Day Weekend, though, so probably could have cleared $400m in its first 4 days.

I think nowadays the major disadvantage of a Summer release is that the movie is more likely to lose its PLFs quicker. Take Avengers 3, for example which lost PLFs to both Deadpool 2 in its 4th weekend and Solo in its 5th weekend.

I can't believe they're pulling this from theaters when it's less than $1m away from the second highest-grossing foreign-language movie at the US box office: Genre Keyword: Foreign Language - Box Office Mojo.
It would have surely crossed that today had they left it in cinemas!
