Wasn't Puss thanksgiving?

 

Nope... It opened on 28 OCT and it's second weekend was the 4th of November.

Nope... It opened on 28 OCT and it's second weekend was the 4th of November.

And you should know, you have a Puss Avatar.

Make it super saturated, meaning 3000+ theaters and add non holiday second weekend. That would put Puss in Boots on first place with a 3% drop.

There's only been a bit over a decade since 3000+ theatres became the norm.

Even in that case, a lot of movies dropped less than 20%.

[Gopher]

In what world does this fail to hit $300m? It's going to have a $45m+ 2nd wkend and a <20% drop. Unless it suddenly starts dropping much harsher in the next few weeks, this should easily top 300m.

In a world where it only has IMAX until the end of the month. It's certainly a possibility but I'm aiming for 250 right now.

[druv10]

20% is already is lowest in history ? For real ?

 

What about the movies came out in 1980s 1990s.

 

I don't think it's true. PIB dropped 3% on second weekend and I don't think it's 2nd weekend was a holiday. 

 

Here is the list for 3000+ theaters.

Yeah, very true.

 

Maybe, just maybe they were talking about original movie second weekend drop?Puss in Boots is a spin off so...

Heck knows what they tried to say there...

[bapi]

Also National Treasure had only 8.5% drop.

[Leyla]

Thor 2 is not in Imax?

wtf

[Blankments]

We'll see as I love Gravity and it would great to see it push beyond 300M maybe even dare I say 400M. 

 

Gravity #1 movie of the year over IM3, CF, and DM2

 

I'd be so happy if that happened

[baumer]

Why isnt this considered a major holiday? Doesnt everyone have Columbus Day off in the US?

[druv10]

wtf

 

It'll have IMAX OS just not domestically. 

[Leyla]

It'll have IMAX OS just not domestically.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Maybe it means "original live action release in 3000+ theaters on non-summer,  non-holiday 2rd weekend" ....
