True, but still an insane record to hold, one anyone would have said was impossible in 2018. 188 is also a good mark since that's what it needs to beat Grease as the second highest grossing live action musical dom. I also think it's worth noting a Friday release likely would have added very little to the OW, maybe nothing at all considering its Friday was already bigger than its OD.

Damn, TGS could have spent yet another weekend beating its OW with a normal Sunday drop. At any rate, posts the 30th best 7th weekend ever. Weekend 1: 43rd worst saturated opening Weekend 2: Biggest wide release second weekend jump ever Weekend 4: 144th biggest Weekend 5: 73rd biggest Weekend 6: 48th biggest Weekend 7: 30th biggest (will probably move up to 29th in actuals)

CBMs haven't lacked female appeal by and large for well over a decade, or the ones that have are doing something very wrong. The Fast franchise definitely doesn't lack female appeal either. BOM reported an even gender split for F7's OW and 42% female for F8. Male driven action films can have female appeal. It's geeky looking male lead sci-fi that tends to suffer the most from female appeal, which is RPO's problem. John Carter and Valerian for example failed to capture female interest, playing a big part in both bombing so hard.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
MovieMan89 replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Aside from RPO, their forecasts make my club look pretty good. Their pros for RPO really aren't very convincing. They're basically just citing the pop culture references/throwback to older Spielberg films. Those have hardly even been played up in the marketing, and the audience that would care is older and probably not that interested in the film. They make a stronger case with their cons, yet still predict it will touch 200. I really doubt it, barring fantastic WOM. -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Yeah, like I saw someone here mention, I have no idea who they thought a movie like Winchester would be for? The bigger question is what *ahem* possessed Mirren to do it? -
FUNimation should go out of business for how badly they botched Your Name domestically. It posted the 11th best anime gross DOM in spite of a non-existent marketing campaign, a pathetic 311 theater count, and no ties to Ghibli or an existing popular anime TV show like the 10 anime movies that have grossed more DOM. It could have easily eclipsed every anime DOM besides the first two Pokemon movies if it had gotten any kind of push and wide release. Then on top of it all, they completely fuck it over for awards with the nonsensical LA release at the end of 2016 well before its proper domestic release, when the competition for the year was already far too fierce for such a latecomer to the party to stand any chance. Especially going up against a very acclaimed Ghibli film. How they thought it stood a chance to get the nom given all that makes absolutely no sense. It could have been a landmark movie for anime films domestically in terms of success and recognition if they had handled it right. May have even stood a chance to pull out the Oscar over Coco.
