Putting it against the second weekend of I2 was always going to cause issues I guess. Hopefully it has some decent legs and the school holidays help it out.

[aabattery]

Yeah, I think there just wasn't enough screen capacity. Previews seemed fairly strong (~170k) so hopefully it's got enough gas in the tank to at least match the first.

 

Good hold for I2 tho.

[Gamora]

 

Looks like the school holidays are at least keeping it flat, the first one's first week of release grossed $1,268,528 while this one now has a cume of $1.3M despite a lower opening. I2 is obviously hurting it but at least it's getting a bit of a weekday boost by the holidays.

Ant-Man and the Wasp at #4 with $532K. 

 

At least it's doing better in other overseas territories I guess.

Hey, gotta look on the upside. Only down 33%.

 

I2 is straight up killing it though. It's pulling out some huge numbers. Increased from last weekend!

Nice drop for Ant-Man, already back above Skyscraper.   

 

I2 drop is incredible.

Year is starting to fall behind 2016's total at the same point. I'm not sure if there will be enough big hits to get it back over but we'll see how the rest of the slate shapes up.

Hidden in the actual MPDA report:

 

6 ~ Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Universal Pictures $186,294

 

That's more than Ragnarok IIRC. Big weekend coming me thinks.

All those sold out Chicks at the Flicks sessions. Will be interesting to see how it goes though.

Ant-Man and the Wasp #4 @ $350K

Great opening for Mamma Mia. Sixth highest of the year IIRC.

I2 just hit 7M and it looks like JW:FK is set to hit 5M as well. I'd say Mamma Mia should also hit that mark since it only needs a 3x multi, which gives us at least six films over 5M this year. Might be a first? Regardless, the top films of the year are looking really good at this point. I completely forgot about Mamma Mia last week so it might give the box office enough juice to get over 2016.

Premier number or OD?

It was a weird rollout here, they had a single IMAX early preview on Monday (that was 85% sold out when I last checked it. Also not sure if it was at any other chains since I didn't look), then they had previews everywhere again on Tuesday night, and then more on Wednesday night. So no full days afaik just three "previews" which will be what those numbers are. Will be interesting to see what it ends up with come Monday.
