  1. WTF happened here?  This looks like it will actually flame out below 300 cr and well below TZH.  Even without the World Cup I doubt it would have touched TZH.

     

    Was it only BOI hyping this as a a potential 500+ cr film or was it the rest of the industry as well?  Because missing that mark by >50% suggests that its beyond a WOM/reception problem...it was never contending.

    mario admissions

     

    Saw this on reddit. Since this is coming from Nintendo themselves, this is as close to an actual as is possible. Mario sold 168.1m tickets on a box office of $1.349b for a global ATP of $8.02.

     

    Came here literally to post this.  Note that Nintendo says this estimate comes from Universal Pictures.

    DC/Northern VA presence in top 10 has dwindled. We had only 1 theater typically making the list, AMC Tysons, but increase of more multiplexes near there has eased it's demand.

    The issue is, they're using Twilight as their comparison, thinking they're similarly female-skewing, and those movies did make half of their weekend gross on Friday.

     

    Twilight: $35.987M Friday; $69.6M 1st weekend

    Breaking Dawn 2: $71.1M Friday; $141M 1st weekend

     

    But those were books that had diehard fans, and not a infinite number, so of course they were frontloaded. They're ignoring that Barbie has a wider potential audience, especially with its reviews. At least in my area, the theaters are close to sold out all weekend so there's no sign its going to burn through half of its audience on the first day.

     

    Not only that, they're also (as always) ignoring Preview:True Friday ratio, choosing to just do the simplest comparison math possible by getting a total Friday number and applying an IM pulled from a comp, without questioning the splits that made up that Friday figure in the first place. 

  5. I don't see why its all of a sudden going to perform worse than Sonic. 

     

    It kept momentum in its first weekend after burning $60M of demand Wed/Thu with kids off.

    It kept momentum in its second weekend after burning $260M through 9 days.

     

    Why should it lose it now?  

     

    $75M Over/Under 3rd weekend.

    Okay call it copium… but after drawing as many trends around Sonic 2 (our best comp) I actually think this isn’t just an okay or good number, it’s an excellent number and points to a really high 3rd weekend.

     

    Sonic 2 dropped 29% on Sunday and then 83.2% on Monday to 810k. It then grossed 11.5M for the weekend.

     

    Mario dropped 22.7% on Sunday and then if this holds it would be 82.4% on Monday to 5.35M. I’m not even going to post the 3rd weekend number you get with the Sonic 2 multiplier because it’s mind-blowing (and probably won’t be quite that high—but still it locks up $55M IMO and makes $60M very plausible).

    I will for funsies!

    Friday: $16.7M

    Saturday: $35.7M

    Friday: $23.5M

     

    3-Day: $75.9M

     

    At which point the forum explodes.

    Oh just you wait 😉

    hmm. probably like 725m+

     

    Thanks.

     

    Let's see what happens.  I'm a believer in $700M, just needs a few more WTF holds in the coming weeks.  

     

    I wonder how this & TOTK will interplay with each other in terms of Nintendo mindshare taking over public.  May 12 launch and I expect 12-15M units for Fri-Sun and then 20M+M by end of June (quarter end when they report results).

     

    Nintendo's top 2 IPs driving ~$3B in global public spending in just 1 quarter is no small thing, there will be big buzz culturally around them this summer/year (highest grossing film & best selling game WW in the same year).

    Might be a stretch. Anything over 650M will be really hard without summer weekdays. Needs to go well over 65M next weekend if it's gonna do that. The 2nd place holder for biggest third weekend of all time is Avatar with 68.5M. The biggest non-New Years third weekend is Black Panther and it had cleared 500M by the end of that weekend. 

     

    Yup I expect >$65M next weekend. Nothing about it's run so far makes me feel like it can't continue to pull crazy holds.  Running almost like a 90s/early-00s family film just with larger volume.

    I keep hearing about all this vacation in April. Schools have varying vacation times, but I'm not aware of any US companies that have the Monday after Easter as paid time off. Some give Good Friday off, but the Monday after Easter? Nope.

     

    Yeah I'm just parroting what's being said honestly. I never got Good Friday or Easter Monday when I was in K-12 or now in employment.
