Kinda? But hitting that number that early was getting us pumped. Then it just died and stayed dead.

It's not like there's anything going on right now is there? No sporting events that I can think of....

What area do you live in? Sorry if you have a location listed, I'm using the mobile version.

That toxic WOM finally kicked in.

If JW hits that higher end then what are we looking at for the weekend... $19M? Higher?

Nop, nothing.

75% Sunday drop confirmed

[GregBeuke]

What are the TG and MMXXL Saturday numbers

I'm guessing 5.3 to 5.5 million for TG and maybe 4 to 4.5 million for Magic Mike XXL.

Actually, Disney had two $100m OWs in 2010 (Alice/TS3), and Lionsgate+Summit had two in 2012 (THG/BD2). But you're right, nobody has had three. Even adjusted for inflation. (Inflation gives Paramount two in 2008, IM1/Indy 4)

Ugh, embarrassing. Note to self: don't look at number charts first thing after a nap.

hopefully the fat jaundiced baby drops 30% on sunday.

What a bomb.

[superduperm]

What a bomb.

Absolutely crumbling. Game over.

[Deep Wang]

No, I'm not talking about just Minions cratering, we as a theater just died.

Everything is dead.

[Fancyarcher]

Kinda interesting that none of the three 100m opening films that Universal had this year is a comics-adaptation. I mean, this is the blockbuster era of comics-adaptations isn't it?

 

Well Universal didn't really release any comic book movies this year, at least to be my best knowledge.

MMXXL will drop from Friday. At best it will stay flat.

The theater I'm at is doing fine. (I went to see JW and IO one more time before they start losing screens.) People are lined up at the BO.

Maybe something is going on just in your town?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Universal has released a comic book movie ANY year since 2008 (TIH and Hellboy II)

This fucking town.

[TServo2049]

What town are you in?

[redfirebird2008]

Boner, your theater always seems a bit off from everyone else.

[Deep Wang]

What town are you in?

Corpus Christi.
