SM1 is better than A LOT of present day superhero flicks
Not to mention SM2 being much better than every MCU movie, maybe sans CA:TWS and A:IW. To me it's the peak of superhero movies, never again have I seen a protagonist in that genre been beat up by life so badly and have to use their mental strength as much as their super-strength to the extend that Tobey's Spiderman did in SM2.
Imho I'd watch the original SM trilogy more eagerly than any other set of superhero movies.
Feel free to correct my rationale, but for the remaining weekdays (t,w,t) to add up to 8m, wouldn't we need an insanely high Tuesday drop from boxofficeguru's 7,2m Monday estimate?
Or are you referring to the weekdays after the next weekend?
What do our experts estimate about next weekend's drop for TGM?
I'm thinking that a 20-25% drop would basically lock 700m domestic. Idk about catching Avatars 749m but you can never be sure with this film, can you?
For fun's sake, I calculated what Maverick would end up grossing if it were to follow the 4 week to final gross legs of some movies:
TFA : 537m
NWH : 560m
TA : 565m
Wonder Woman : 603m
Frozen 2 : 607m
Aladdin (2019) : 626m
And for the hell of it, Avatar legs gives 811m and Titanic legs gives 1419m.
Anyway, since 600m seems locked at this point it's fair to say that at the end of TGM's run, no other recent-ish big release (sans the outliers) will have comparable late legs. Unless I'm forgetting something obvious of course. (feel free to correct me)
