How many "Gravity defies Gravity" headlines will we get this week? or will most people not run with such a cliched headline 

[ecstasy]

BOM will go with "Houston, Gravity still does not have a problem on second weekend" since that gag was such a roaring success when they used it last week.

So low 30s next weekend? Pretty phenomenal

Next weekend drop should be at least as good as this weekend, if not better. With about 20% drop, 3rd weekend would be 35 million.

I think it drops slightly harder next weekend, since it won't have Columbus Day to soften the Sunday drop. Still over 30m, though.

That's not guaranteed at all................... 30-35% drop next week is what I'm predicting.

I did not know Columbus Day could have so much influence. Thanks for the info. Anyway, anything over 30 million would still be awesome. That was what I had expected for OW before release...

Next weeks drop is going to be smaller than this weeks one.

It can also be compared to first Pirates methinks. A somewhat unconventional big-budget film that overperforms in its first weekend, gets embraced by audiences and subsequently legs its way to over $300m becoming the BO story of the year. 

Finding Nemo and Elf? 2003 was just a great year for WOM 

 

Either way, I'm expecting $180 million by its 17th day which would make getting to $250 million a lock. Really anything over $165 million would guarantee it

Not for Matrix Revolutions.

It had a decent x3 multiplier. Matrix Revolution's problem was the opening weekend, no the word of mouth.

It didn't open on a Friday though, it was very frontloaded.

Robert Rodriguez is slowly turning into Uwe Boll.

My buddy Floyd tells me they're some kind of reptoid race. He tells me it was even anticipated by William Blake. They killed her because she was pregnant by her new boyfriend. They had to alter her womb to cope with snake-deity semen. Princess Diana was killed to prevent the world discovering she had been physically altered to bear reptile babies.

 

This is all, of course, speculation.

[grim22]

^What????

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Her reptile babies were very cute.

4x multiplier is a lock.   Bearing down on 4.5x.   5x may not happen due to imax losses but FF6 ($238m) will likely be giving up its #5 spot for the year.

Extremely impressive second weekend. Hopefully checking this out in IMAX on Tuesday.

JFK killed himself after seeing Jackie enjoying sex with a snake demon whose travel tunnel opened up under the White House.
