Superbowl Weekend Numbers (RTH updated Sun#s pg 14)

[Shawn Robbins]

Weird Friday. Looks like a very close weekend. Won't be shocked if Frozen sneaks into #1.

[a2k]

A 20-25% increase in its 10th weekend is beyond incredible. Protects its legs from TLM next weekend too.

 

Yeah, even if it gets 10m this weekend and falls 40% next weekend(11th weekend) to 6m, that 6m will be only a 33% drop from the 9th weekend. So even a 35% drop across 2 weekends is great.

I'm hoping that Variety nnumber is low, I'd love to see Frozen get $3M today.

I want Frozen to win so bad! It would be an absolute travesty if Ride Along finished with more weekends at #1 than Frozen.

LOL hardly.

3M would be incredible for Frozen. With that number 13M for weekend with a strong shot at number 1 for the weekend as it'll easily have better Sunday hold over RA. Absolutely incredible for a movie to have 13M 10th weekend especially in the frontloaded movie business we're in. Legs have been out of this world.

Why do you say that? RA is sitting at 17% on Rotten Tomatoes for goodness sake.

[kayumanggi]

So FROZEN could be number one in its 10th weekend. Has it ever happened before?

Because being #1 depends on competition, not only how good or bad the movie is doing, and certainly not on the quality.

Would RA ever have been #1 if it opened in CF's 2nd week?

Aladdin did it.

Titanic of course.  Mrs. Doubtfire was #2 in its 9th and then jumped to #1 in its 10th.

I actually would have been thrilled if all the revisionist history and railroad angle was dropped and instead we got full-on crazy western fantasy with an amped up Cavendish.

 

It's the exact reverse for me.

[a2k]

Frozen has had only 2 drops greater than 30%..both post holiday weekends(thanksgivings and new years)

Knowing Verbinski that might've been what he wanted to do, but when news broke about the werewolves the internet went on a hatestorm, so perhaps we would've gotten that were it not for the media reaction.

Nobody is going to remember that Ride Along was #1 more times than Frozen. Nobody will even remember the movie in a few months or how much it made. Everyone will remember Frozen.

Yeah it was pretty terrible. Most cliches I've seen in a movie in a long time. Only good part was the surprise cameo at the end. 

[kayumanggi]

Titanic of course.  Mrs. Doubtfire was #2 in its 9th and then jumped to #1 in its 10th.

 

When was that? Thanks.

[23IsEverywhere]

I found RA mildly entertaining and very forgetable. I already forgot about the cameo.

[spizzer]

When was that? Thanks.

 

It opened Thanksgiving 92 and then continued on into Jan/Feb 93

[druv10]

Titanic of course.  Mrs. Doubtfire was #2 in its 9th and then jumped to #1 in its 10th.

 

Aladdin did it too. It's amazing Frozen has been having run very similar to that Aladdin had 21 years ago. I think that's whats astounding about Frozen, it's turn back the clock to the early 90's.
