It's just weekends perusing MBFGW's run. Had about 10 days at #1. Sing got 0 though, so it really is the true record holder of that title.

I thought that record was just for weekend not dailies? Anyways, it should win next weekend.

So 16m Monday then. That's the first good hold its had since Xmas Eve.

You would think, but just saying if that number is close to accurate then it's legs from here out are fucked. It might be more accurate than we think if you look at what's happened since last Monday. Decrease every day except for two, which were +1% and +4% respectively. Odds of a big increase seem slim looking at that pattern. I'd say something like +10% (14.8) is probably the best it can hope for.

It's over 9m ahead of Sing's 4 day this weekend, with a total running 5m ahead now. 300 seems very likely.

Jumanji winning the 4 day would just be crazy. It was at half of TLJ's gross last weekend.

If Monday really is that low - which I do think is a big if - I'm calling it now that TLJ is going to just miss The Avengers and finish with something like 620. I already had it pegged around 635, but that was assuming it would hit at least 16m today. That number is just fucking abysmal and it's going to collapse after the holidays if that's how it's already looking.

The Greatest Showman's jump is quietly being overlooked by many when it's one of the craziest holds ever seen at the box office. If this weekend wasn't just a fluke and WOM really is that immaculate, it could be heading past 125m, no joke. Will laugh forever if it ended up going all the way to Les Mis #'s with an OD that was roughly 10% of that movie's.

^I agree with what was said there. The whole time I kept thinking, damn I should hate this for how it's romanticizing this guy when I don't even have to do any research to know he was no saint, but dammit if this doesn't do what it sets out to very well. It very much indeed is a "passionate and bedazzling" Hollywood concoction, and taking it as such it's pretty much an all out triumph. Crazy about the hold. I think this will hit 100+. The music is actually extremely memorable, which was probably the most shocking part of all of it for me.

I'm 99.9% certain in Avatar 2 hitting 500 DOM. Cameron is just too good at what he does to miss knowing what audiences want, even if they don't necessarily know they want it. And 500m won't even be that many admissions in 2020, especially factoring in all the premiums. After 500 though, it's a crapshoot for me for now. No idea where it will land above that mark.

Wall-E's legs were understandable since the first half is essentially a silent movie, and then it goes ultra environmentalist in the second half. So it made sense the first half might alienate kids and the second might alienate parent's political views, and the legs might not be as great as they should be. But there's absolutely nothing in Coco that should be turning audiences off. If it is, that is blatant racism.

Yeah, I brought this up recently as well. I honestly do think it factored into the box office performance, and that is just a travesty. The legs just have not matched the quality of the film, which is very unusual for a Pixar film especially.

Movie X opened 65m higher than Movie Y. You're really telling me it should only finish with 25-65m more for the rest of its run? Don't you realize how much worse the holds have to be for that?

Opening 65m higher than Rogue One and pacing only 3m ahead of it in its 3rd weekend is about the worst case scenario I think anyone could have possibly seen for TLJ's run after its opening. Even certain from day 1 that WOM would be mixed, I never thought it would drop off like that. Looks like my prediction of Jumanji overtaking TLJ today will probably pan out.

The Rock's box office track record this decade is starting to get pretty damn impressive. Even Baywatch managed to save face OS. Faster is probably the only non-profitable movie of his this decade.

???

This bestiality scarred me for life. Someone really needs to put an end to this cinematic glorification.

Game over. You win.

Don't know if J can close the gap yet, but I think by Monday it will win.

I really don't know what to expect for Sat increases. Except I think Jumanji will continue to outshine everything.

Do Bane Hardy and Eames Hardy swap bodies?

It's Jumanji: Welcome to Zathura.

Pretty much nails the 700 coffin shut.

TLJ's OW was really impressive considering how little the marketing did to really give a lot to get hyped over. A pretty sleepy campaign. They can't do that with IX.

Eh, Daddy's Home+Sisters+Alvin+Joy+The Big Short+Hateful Eight aren't much less than the gross of Jumanji+Pitch Perfect+Showman+Ferdinand. Just more competitors that year with a much more spread the love wealth. Didn't stop TFA from making 300m more than TLJ.
