Monday's Numbers: updated - $4.62M (Final)
MovieMan89 replied to sfran43's topic in Numbers and Data
Awesome Monday for IW. Looking good in the BP race. -
No way does AMATW have a better chance at 1b than this. Ant-Man made like 150m less OS than Rogue Nation and less DOM too, and there hasn't been nearly as much buzz about the AMATW marketing so far as Fallout's. Mustache-gate was marketing this movie last year already, lol. IW will help AMATW obviously, but not enough double the gross of the first WW. It would need one of the big Avengers having a significant part in the film for that, and even then no MCU sequel has gotten close to doubling its predecessor's gross WW.

It's interesting, when you eliminate AoU and its ho hum reception, Marvel has put out nothing but one film after the other that highly pleased fans ever since Winter Soldier. I wonder then how much all of the phase 3 films may have been grossing pre-BP if AoU hadn't kind of deflated their sails a bit? With the quality of phase 3 combined with AoU being more like TA and IW and having that Avengers effect, all of the phase 3 films save maybe Strange may have been massive. Not that they weren't all big hits, but I'm talking like 400+/1b+ DOM/WW type of grosses.

IW could match TFA pretty closely after next weekend. I think the MD drop is going to be way lighter than people are thinking because it's not only a holiday but it could also be course correcting a bit from the harsher drop in weekend 4 from losing the IMAX screens. Also, will IW get double features with Solo at drive ins from Disney? That would make sense. The 720 number is a ceiling though, I agree it probably won't get that far. I'm just hoping for 705 for the obvious reason.
-
So the gap between IW and TFA through their third weekends is 194m. As I've mentioned prior, TFA didn't have that exceptional of a run after weekend 3. It's not entirely impossible IW could have a similar run from this point and avoid the gap widening by much. If that happened, it could go as high as 720.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

I'm not saying DP2's showing is atrocious or something, I'm just saying I'm not seeing signs to a much bigger OW than the first, if bigger at all. -

How many sequels to big CBMs clear 150 on walkup business without huge pre-sales? Treating it like the first movie makes no sense. To me pre-sales are suggesting below the first's OW. Just not big enough for 150+, imo. -

DP2 should be rife with pre-sales as a CBM sequel. Obviously not on an SW level, but other than that what else gets more pre-sales? -

I'm surprised DP2 is still so far from IW on MT. I mean the movie's not grossing massive numbers anymore, and DP2 is a hyped CBM sequel 3 days from release now. I honestly thought it'd be #1 at this point. -

How many people even realized The Matrix films were R lol? The first is one of the softest Rs I've ever seen. -

But a way bigger audience that showed up for it than 1. I'm saying that DP1 may have pretty much reached the potential audience cap for an R opening. I'm also not getting vibes whatsoever of a 150+ OW from either of these DP or Solo trackings. Movies that open that big tend to be a bit more lively pre-release than what we're getting.
