baumer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 You guys, some of you, when a film makes this much money this quickly, it can't sustain the same kind of pace. If it did, it would gross 800 million and that's not going to happen. We're all hoping it can pass Titanic. AOU is locked but to say that the drop is harsh is silly. 500 million in 17 days is a pace that is unheard of. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennaJ Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 ... Seriously though, isn't it clear by now that someone hasn't got a clue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The difference between Christmas and ID4 is that on Christmas, it's a very family oriented day, obviously. But once you open gifts, have some turkey and hang with the family for a bit, there's nothing to do and it's also cold in about half the country (in Canada it's cold in about 90% of the country) so movies are a huge option. It breaks up some of the monotony of the day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why is t5 and magic mike xxl releasing on a wednesday! Is it a holiday!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaJ Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why is t5 and magic mike xxl releasing on a wednesday! Is it a holiday!? Yes, just a small one on July 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why is t5 and magic mike xxl releasing on a wednesday! Is it a holiday!? They want to have an extra 3 days to make money because July 4 will be very low. Might as well make it a 5 day weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The difference between Christmas and ID4 is that on Christmas, it's a very family oriented day, obviously.

It breaks up some of the monotony of the day. Not to mention the main attraction for the 4th of July happens at night instead during the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why is t5 and magic mike xxl releasing on a wednesday! Is it a holiday!? It is a holiday in Canada and a holiday on Saturday in the U.S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Pure guess based on 2009: Monday: 6.4 Tues: 7.36 (+20%) Wed 5.52 (-25%...losing IMAX and many movies seem to drop harshly on July 1st) Thurs: 7.45 (big increase because JW is prone to that) Fri: 11.9 (+60%) Sat: 7.75 (-35%) Sun: 9.68 (+25%) 29.33 weekend, 26.73 weekdays...total of 556.46 after Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why is t5 and magic mike xxl releasing on a wednesday! Is it a holiday!? Several reasons. It's a holiday in Canada and because it's a holiday in the US on the weekend, they hope to get a nice 5 day gross to help mitigate a softer opening due to Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Figuring out how JW might do this week is difficult because there is no movie to compare it to in 2009. I mean, there's no movie really to compare this to at all but how do you figure out the trajectory this week? Hangover? Ice Age, maybe? It's impossible to say due to what happened last week. Clearly performing more like a weekend movie than we would expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well make it a 5 day weekend. Canadian holidays do go into the marketing strategy too. It's why a lot of big movies get released on Victoria Day weekend in Canada, which is the weekend before Memorial weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
