The Panda Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The test isn't going to be it's legs now, I'm sure it can manage smaller drops from a smaller weekend. The test is whether it collapses or not when up against SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more easier to get better legs with a smaller OW. I don't know what that means, but ok. Sure but also logically follows that if something opens way down from it's predecessors it might just not do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examples? Big movie with max 2.8 multi followed with sequel which dropped around 20% or more on OW and finished with worse legs. I know, it's specific, but these are key elements imo.

keysersoze123 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 yes. Dont look at just one film in isolation. Last year Big Hero Six dropped 64.3% while Peanuts dropped 61.5%. Let us wait until this weekend to see if MJ2 is holding better. But its locked to have worse late legs than MJ1. Take that into account while projecting its final gross.

misafeco Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Sun-Mon drop is not that much better than the earier films drops, but the Sunday drop was better than CF or MJ1 too. Weekend/Monday: HG: 14.1 CF: 12.8 MJ1: 13.6 MJ2: 12.0 CF's Monday was bigger because of the weekend sellouts, but the Tuesday bump was smaller. If MJ2 can achieve an increase on Tuesday similar to MJ1, the early legs will be better. Late legs are a different story, we'll see how much it can make against Star Wars. Now it's behind MJ1 by almost 20M, so another 17M and it falls under 300M by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
