Just look at last year. The only movies that dropped under 50% on the 2nd were the ones that made under 2m on New Year's Day.

 

Last year Jan 2 was a Wednesday which is generally a down day to begin BO wise. I'm expecting 30-35% drop today for Frozen. 

[druv10]

Lol, that's not really "friendly." How about I have to deck my avi and sig out in Frozen imagery if you win, and you have to do yours in DM2 stuff if I win?

 

Deal, just also add I was wrong about Frozen in your sig.

Well even still how then were you expecting 7m today?

Last year the 2nd was on a Wednesday after a discount Tuesday boost in a addition to the New Years Day boost. Frozen had a smaller decrease on Tuesday thanks to that and a muted Wednesday jump. It's not dropping 50% today.

Thursdays are not any better, so I don't know why you think this.

He asked if 300M was possible by Sunday and that's why I said, it needs to be around 7M today. 

[ecstasy]

7M seems high. Kids are going back to school on Thursday and Friday here in the US. 

 

Not my kid. She still has another whole week out.

Discount Tuesdays usually deflate Wednesday so Thursday tend to have better drops compared to Wednesday. 

[MovieMan89]

How do we even know discount Tuesday were in effect this week cause of the Holidays? I know the theaters around here don't do any discount stuff like that during the Xmas and New Years weeks.

HER is posting great holds. WOM seems to be strong.

It might have smaller drop but its generally the weakest day of the week, so it could have the opposite effect

You may be right but I still expect a good hold today so do we've deal.

I don't know any theaters that do it either (I think it's mostly Canada) but if you haven't noticed the daily grosses over the year it definitely makes a difference and I seriously don't think they would stop such a big day for the holidays.

[DAR]

Asking people if they've seen Her is an Abbott and Costello bit just waiting to happen.

[wileECoyote]

At a glance the movies are following 2002 type New Years daily holds/jumps. Unlike Christmas week. So a fall in the 30's for Frozen would be my guess. SMB will probably fall in the low 40's

[Moviefanatic]

Rth said $2.9 million.

Wait I thought that number was for Wednesday? Awesome if it did 2.9 million on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yep, we have a bet, look over this and make sure that's what you want to agree to :
