JJ-8

Fun fact : I seriously considered putting it against titanic or avatar it's been that leggy

Ok tried to some digging to work out where BR is heading... it's a tough one. nothing remotely like it.... The showdown i've come up with for now is vs LOTR films / shrek 2 but none really apply. In fact only 2 films as far as I can tell were earning 1.6m or more on their tenth weekend (Avatar and Titanic) For Reference Avatar did 1.9m and made a further 10m from this point. Titanic of course made a further 20m after a 1.6m on it's tenth.. so hmmmmm..

Right here is the updated Aquaman showdown (removed wonder woman and BVS as those are going to be passed.) Added LOTR1 and Jumanji 2 which a bit closer to things. I think Aquaman lands around 45m at the moment but we shall see how it holds up over the coming weeks.

Pretty much giving everyone a freebie this week. even if you didn't post

Here is my first pass (may change closer to the due date) Week 11 : Aquaman ; A Dogs way home Week 12 : Glass ; Aquaman Week 13 : Glass ; The Kid who would be king Week 14 : Glass : Miss Bala Week 15 : LEGO Movie 2 ; What Men want Week 16 : LEGO Movie 2 ; Alita: Battle Angel Week 17 : How to train your dragon 3 ; LEGO Movie 2

It is a monster.... as I said 47m+ is all but locked at this point... and 50m not a far stretch should it find some further late legs post school time (maybe a oscar boost in the wings ?)

FYI - all my numbers are in AUD here.

So here is the remainder. At the moment SS still is #1 DCEU film in australia but you would think given Aquaman's performance to date that it should surpasse that total fairly easily. i mean absolute worst case scenario for the drop is to around 5m in my mind... (will be surprised if it's hold doesn't beat 50% at this point.)

woah… that a massive opening day for Dragon 3. I thought 1.2 - 1.5m at best. When you consider the following: How to train your dragon - 2.7m OW How to train your dragon 2 - 3.6m OW How to train your dragon 3 - 2.2m OD (should translate to 6m+ ~ would go higher but not sure of the impact of holidays on the weekend numbers) then consider the domestic openings of Dragon : Dragon - 2.7m vs 43.7m Dragon 2 - 3.6m vs 49.5m Dragon 3 - 6m vs ? 70m possible ? EDIT : Dragon 2 isn't an apples for apples as it had burnt off 5m of demand prior to the opening weekend. so maybe i'm a little over the top here.... still an impressive opening day however.

Part A: 1. Will Escape Room Open to more than $9M? YES 2. Will Escape Room Open to more than $15M? NO 3. Will Escape Room Open to more than $12M? YES 4. Will The top three change from last weekend?

What will Poppins make on Saturday? $9.01m Part C There will be 6 films to place and points are expanded because traditionally people haven't scored well here: 1. Aquaman 3. Mary Poppins Returns 5. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 8. Ralph Breaks the Internet 11. If Beale Street Could Talk 13. Grinch

BR just keeps on chugging. 45m looks like a forgone conclusion. (43m already and should play well for at least 2 weeks yet. ) I’m thinking more like 47m-48m with an outside shot of 50m if it holds well once school returns. Aquaman has had a great start. 40m+ seems doable from here.

Week 10 - gee this is a real tough one here. Totally on the fence but I’ll go with No

some movement this after week 7 results were included... just a few shuffles. @BobDole continues to hold onto a slender lead after 7 weeks.
