Charlie Brown, you blockhead! You can't even be Number 1 at the box office this week!

 

Still great opening for Peanuts. Should do well for the next few weeks.

[John Marston]

This is pretty bad for Spectre 

 

 

and what's with the incredible holds for holdovers? Some movies even increased with no theater gains

Adele is not that successful in Asia tho. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are still bigger than her.

 

Are you sure about that? Adele is huge EVERYWHERE. If she wasn't, she wouldn't get 30m sales for her album. Adele's new song was #1 on iTunes in 90+ countries, including countries in Asia. Here, people all ages love Adele, while Katy Perry is only popular among younger people. And Lady Gaga? She's not what she used to be.

I'm predicting 35 for Spectre and 30 for Peanuts. If Spectre drops 60% it'll earn 29M.

I think Thor 2 2nd weekend (36M) is a good target, after that a bigger drop to mid 10s.

[DAJK]

Doesn't really matter too much if Spectre did 72 or 80M or if Peanuts did 44 or 50M. After the past few weeks, this weekend sure was a breath of fresh air.

Holy Shit. Lady Gaga hasn't been relevant for 4 years over here.

Is Pan out of theaters already?

[Jonwo]

Is Peanuts Blue Sky's highest opening since Ice Age 4? I wouldn't be surprised if more animated studios are encouraged to release animated films against big blockbusters in November or December although I doubt they'll schedule them against say a live action Disney fairytale film,

SPECTRE opened with an estimated $73.0M this weekend. #Spectre #JamesBond

Spectre dropping 16M on OW from Skyfall and Peanuts failing to reach 50M after a monster 1 year and a half campaign are both kinda funny in a sad way.

A 50% drop?  Skyfall dropped 53.5% and that was excluding the $2.2m in Thur IMAX.  Yes, Twilight opened but they didn't have much of a cross over demo and QOS's second w/e was also against Twlight and it dropped 60%

Dont get me wrong, Adele is huge in Asia just not as huge as LG and Katy. And older people in Asia rarely buy Western music.

Last weekend was probably deflated because of Halloween

[TalismanRing]

007 scored $200M+ worldwide this weekend, as SPECTRE has now amassed $300M+ globally in less than two weeks of release.

Gaga is one of few Western artists can compete with local musicians in sale, especially in Japan.

She is still #4  Highest-Paid Women in Music in US, isn't she?

I've seen those 2 million estimates and I just don't see how.  I mean it would be incredible but I just can't fathom that in the digital age.  I know a lot of her fanbase still buys physical product but for now I'm going with 1.5.

I don't see it either. But I also thought it's impossible for a song to sell 1m downloads in a week with overall digital sales declining. So with Adele, we never know.

 

Anyway, back to the box office. I think (and I hope) Spectre will get to 200m. It's not as good as Skyfall but I enjoyed the movie a lot and don't really understand the hate it's getting.

Of course Spectre should drop anywhere between 57-62%.

One question is JW in dollar theater or not yet?

So SPECTRE can drop 35% from Skyfall total? That's a lot, more than any of the recent blockbuster sequels. WWW?

 

That's a bigger drop than AOU.

 

Both movies were lackluster follow ups to break out hits. 

 

Though that's pretty standard in Hollywood.
