Films Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) From box office.comSunday Update: This weekend's box office race between Disney's Thor: The Dark World and Universal's The Best Man Holiday ended up being closer than was widely anticipated, but Thor: The Dark World was still able to lead the way with an estimated $38.45 million. The Marvel superhero sequel starring Chris Hemsworth slid 55 percent from last weekend. While that is a respectable second weekend decline for a superhero sequel, it isn't a great hold by any means either, especially with the film likely having received a bit of an extra boost this weekend from moviegoers who wanted to catch it before Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire enters the marketplace next weekend. In comparison, 2011's Thor fell 47 percent in its second weekend to gross $34.70 million, while last year's Skyfall fell 53.5 percent to take in $41.10 million.In the bigger picture, Thor: The Dark World has grossed a healthy $149.97 million through its first ten days of domestic release. That places the film 26 percent ahead of the $119.46 million ten-day start of Thor and 7 percent behind the $160.94 million ten-day take of Skyfall. Those comparisons strongly suggest that Thor: The Dark World is still on course to eventually clear the $200 million domestic milestone.The Best Man Holiday exceeded expectations this weekend with a strong second place take of $30.6 million. Expectations for the modestly budgeted ensemble comedy sequel had been rising in the days leading up to the film's release due in part to strong pre-sales. Playing in 2,024 locations; The Best Man Holiday earned a terrific per-location average of $15,115 for the frame. The Best Man Holiday opened just below the $33.64 million start of last year's Think Like a Man and blew past the $9.03 million debut of 1999's The Best Man (which stands at $14.37 million when adjusting for ticket price inflation). The Best Man Holiday has already nearly out-grossed the $34.10 million total domestic gross of The Best Man (which stands at $54.25 million when adjusting for inflation), as the fanbase of The Best Man has clearly increased in the years since its theatrical release.The Best Man Holiday placed in first on Friday with $10.7 million, increased 16 percent on Saturday to take in $12.4 million and is estimated to fall 39.5 percent on Sunday to gross $7.5 million. That gave the film a very solid estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio of 2.86 to 1. That is a good early sign for the film going forward, as is the A+ rating the film received on CinemaScore. The Best Man Holiday will hope to hold up well throughout the holiday season, though the rush out of fans of the original film on opening weekend could still lead to some front-loading.The audience breakdown for The Best Man Holiday skewed heavily towards female moviegoers (75 percent) and moviegoers 35 and older (63 percent). African Americans made up 87 percent of the film's audience. Edited November 17, 2013 by ChristmasFilms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thor 2's weekend is going to come down, in my opinion. 33% decline on Sunday is very generous; could be 10% greater than that. Similar case for a couple of other films in the top 10 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Good Lord look at Gravity go! Will it make it to 275m? I'm impressed. I'd say 255-260 before the nominations are auunounced, after that who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Captain Phillips is quietly creeping up on 100m. Last Vegas holding up well. And Bad GP is a mega hit with that 15m budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 But that will change. The showdown will be pointless. Skyfall isn't the only film it's facing though. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?id=earlynovember.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
