3rd update Friday PM after midday post: The only film that moviegoers care about this weekend is Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout which is landing a great estimated second weekend of $34.8M, with a great hold of -43% (besting Rogue Nation‘s -49%) and closing in on a 10-day stateside cume of $124.2M. Most of the competition looks to be missing its tracking marks, a result one rival distrib boss called “The dog days of August.” The truth is we’re not seeing a DC or Marvel title here, or some other big four-quad movie because Fallout has all the Imax screens, and no one will brave this month of back-to-school without ’em. In all fairness to Disney, the were seeing Christopher Robin in the $20M range, while most tracking services had the pic in the low-to-mid $30Ms. With an estimated $26.4M for the weekend and a solid A CinemaScore to counter that squishy 67% fresh Rotten Tomatoes score, Disney probably is content with the results of this live action feature extension of their $6 billion Winnie-the-Pooh universe, and not just because it’s exceeding the opening of its previous August animated feature-turned-live actioner, Pete’s Dragon ($21.5M, A CinemaScore, and 3.5X multiple of $76.2M). One rival studio executive snarked that the slowdown in the pic’s opening stemmed from the studio positioning the film more toward adults than hand-holders. However, we’ll see how much this spikes tomorrow from matinees. What’s clear is that, small children aside, the opening for Christopher Robin will outstrip the entire global cume of the last animated take on the bear-stuffed-with-fluff seven years ago, Winnie the Pooh, which only made $33.1M. So, right there, it shows that there was mainstream interest here for Disney’s Hook-take on Pooh. Social Media observer RelishMix noticed that the oline response to Christopher Robin had”fans of Pooh dabbing their eyes and putting hands on their hearts just watching the trailers. The film seems to have touched a nerve with sentimental moviegoers, who yearn for the days of their childhood. They want to share these feelings with their own kids and grandparents – or, some insist they’ll see the film alone if they must. Ewan McGregor and Hayley Atwell get a notable portion of discussion, as do specific characters like Pooh, Eeyore and all the pals in the Wood.” RelishMix says that the 240.8M social media universe across all platforms is strong and exceeds the average reach for a live action family film which is 189M. Average daily YouTube views for the top clips are 33,7K, which is also ahead of the standard 27,6K views. The movie’s official Facebook page is earning about 800 new fans daily, but that doesn’t count all the new fans for Pooh, Piglet and the other individual character pages that Disney has curated. “If Christopher Robin has an Achilles heel, it’s that it’s viral rate (EOR) is currently at a rate of 22:1, which is behind the usual 38:1 for a family film,” says RelishMix. The Spy Who Dumped Me with $11M-$13M instead of more mid-teens with Fox’s YA feature adaptation The Darkest Minds pretty much arriving in the high single digit area were tracking had it, between $6M-8M. Note Christopher Robin‘s weekend is close to Peter Rabbit‘s 3-day of $25M, and currently higher than Disney’s live-action Pete’s Dragon which brought in $21.5M. August isn’t going to get any prettier in terms of product, not until New Line’s The Nun on Sept. 7, and, man, kids are going to start going back to school, which will further ratchet business down. Even Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of a Nation is lighter as of right now, looking at an estimated $2M-$2.5M instead of the $3M where forecasts had it. Despite the ho-hum of it all, it might just wind up to be a better weekend than a year ago when Sony/Media Rights Capital’s The Dark Tower led all films with $19.1M for a $122.7M weekend for all films. https://deadline.com/2018/08/tom-cruise-mila-kunis-box-office-mission-impossible-fallout-christopher-robin-spy-who-dumped-me-1202439507/

Moviepass and its Impact on the Box Office
Ryan Reynolds replied to Eric Quinn's topic in Box Office Discussion
their word is not good, i could see Disney films being 4 weeks later. Last weekend all movies had $8 surges, even for Matinees. If that was their here model when they started they probably could have worked deals with distributors and theaters, now there brand is tarnished and everybody wants them to go away now. -
