It did quite well everywhere for the most part, but China really exploded its OS gross. $391 million was nearly 6x what FF6 made in China and way above anyone's expectations.

I was referring to Furious 7's OS being heavily helped by its crazy run in China.

[MovieMan89]

Even if it performed more typically in China, it still would have done 950+ OS vs 550 for the previous. Baffling any way you slice it.

Those #7 are so confusing, at least via a fast glance...

Daddy's Home becomes only the second December 2015 to cross the $100 million mark (so far).

 

December 2014 had 5 movies cross $100 million.

December 2013 had 5 movies cross $100 million.

Dec 2012 - 3

Dec 2011 - 4

Dec 2010 - 6

Dec 2009 - 4

Dec 2008 - 4

Dec 2007 - 3

Dec 2006 - 3

Dec 2005 - 3

Dec 2004 - 5

Dec 2003 - 4

Dec 2002 - 3

Dec 2001 - 5

Dec 2000 - 5

Dec 1999 - 2

Since TFA has done like 8 times $100 million can't we count it like 3 times?

No can do otherwise 2009, would be up to 6 or 7 because of Avatar.

Was this third week drop to be expected?

Yes. School (elementary, middle, high) and work are back in session for a lot of US, leading to much lower weekdays.

This was a much better hold then I was expecting. I thought we'd drop around 12-15%, not 3.8%. I have one model that's looking at a generous $53M for the weekend but I think $45-50M is more likely.

Are you disappointed with a third straight week over 100m?  I think 118m is a record third week. I wasn't able to find any other film that had three weeks over 100m.

With that of a high numbers... I expected an even stronger drop.

IMHO this movie managed to get ptopl into the cinema that weren't in a cinema for a time or go only very rarely. Those might have even gone repeatedly. But now it's back to school / work, the people who are seldom willing to go to the cinemas and want to rewatch it, might not have as much opportunity as whilst being on vacation.

Like e.g. doing sport, music/dance, art,... siblings too, parents drive from one training to the next (or doctors appointment, school extra help,...)

A certain percentage goes to the cinema as a unit, not as a solo person.

Me, I want to watch it since early in release a second time, had work projects, want to atch it with certain people (not waiting for a group, any of them would do, mostly working parents too), but we still have trouble to find a common day.

For me the drop of the weekend after MLK is the most interesting, incl. all the week-days till then
