Mr. Pink- Hope you're okay. Keep your head up.

[Cmasterclay]

So, A Million Ways to Flop In The West is just too damn easy, isn't it? Gotta get ready for this weekend.

My source from the future tells me -DOFP 5.2 Godzilla 2.0Maleficent previews 2.5

That would be a good drop for X-Men.

[Shawn Robbins]

Godzilla: 2,109,267

X-men had the best Tuesday for a Memorial Day film and then the worst Wednesday among top Memorial Day weekend openers; talk about mixed signals.

Chef and Belle increased. Nice.

[Jandrew]

Guys, I did it like I said I would.

 

 

*Phone Rings, I answer*

Red Cross: "This is Ashley from the American Red Cross, is this Jayson?"

Me: "Isn't that the question of the day."

*Hangs up*.

[MrPink]

OMFG...

 

Pink, are you ok?

 

I am fine. Nothing stops the Nolan train.

 

That size is fine. Probably your save options might have downgraded the quality.

 

Yeah maybe I need to try again. I'm not sure but it didn't turn out nearly as well as the other DeHaan thing I made (which wasn't that great as is)

Hopefully Cap 2 can take Lego this weekend.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

That would be a good drop for X-Men.

 

 

I would not be shocked if DOFP drops to 5m or even a tick below then increases 125% on Fri. DOFP's Memorial Day weekend fell earlier in the year than X3. This tends to have a slight delaying effect of the typical summer pattern. IJ4's Memorial Day fell one day earlier and it went up a relatively normal 131%(for a movie of its type) as well as most other films having more typical increases before the obvious effects the week after.

You don't see this large of a contrast with X3's more typical post Memorial Weekend pattern:

That would be cool with me; I'm not a big fan of Lego (I'm definitely in the minority though).

 

Do you think Cap will be able to stay in the top five at the end of the year?

[CJohn]

Way to show me up.

 

(Plz add Shawn)

[CJohn]

We should have a smile for Banderas. Just saying. That would be glorious.

X-men had the best Tuesday for a Memorial Day film and then the worst Wednesday among top Memorial Day weekend openers; talk about mixed signals. 

 

 

Cheap Tues huge bumps are relatively new - hence DOFP benefiting from them while most other Memorial Day w/e openers did not.  And with the huge Tues bump comes the huge Wed drop.

 

With a Friday between X-MLS and FF of 10% Thur will be around $5.1m ($600,000 better than Godz last Thur) looking at a  

 

FF6:

 

Thur: $4,993,170 (-13.6%)

Fri: $10,744,690 (+115.2%)

Sat:  $14,043,660 (+30.7%)

Sun: $10,376,090 (-26.1%)

 

= $35,164,440  (-61.5%)

 

X-M:LS

 

Thur:  $5,375,353 (-7.4%)

Fri: $10,309,481 (+91.8)

Sat: $14,328,792 (+39)

Sun: $9,378,974 (-34.5)

 

= $34,017,247 ( -63.4%)

 

 

Both have near a 3.3 w/e multiplier

Yeah I can't get a read on it yet, though WOM is unusually strong for a MD opener (which usually get mixed WOM)

Locked to beat Spidey, Zilla and X2 unadjusted, will probably beat XM1 adjusted and TLS unadjusted, but too close to call on Cap.

i agree it's a lock to beat spidey and zilla.

but to beat cap, it needs a better multiplier than cap as it opened to 4m less. and that better multiplier has to be off an ow with an inflated sunday. so it's a lock to fall short of cap. it's competition too is going to be more than cap's and cap's wom was on par with dofp too.

 

edit:

it needs a multiplier of 2.86 to reach 260m. even 250m needs 2.75.

i think x-men:fc's 2.65 is the max potential. that'll take it to 241m.
