Why is box office so constant ?

I mean there are rules and they are almost always true.

 

For example based on mon and today's number you can give a good guess of TFA tues. And I'm sure you're guess is spot on. Shouldn't BO be more of a rollercoaster ? Having movies switch place all the time instead of following a pattern ?

‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ Will Dig Box Office Out Of The Snow With $40M+ Opening – Preview

http://deadline.com/2016/01/kung-fu-panda-3-finest-hours-fifty-shade-of-black-jane-got-a-gun-box-office-preview-1201691337/

Kung Fu Panda 3 to plow them out with an opening in the $40M range at 3,955 theaters....

...

Currently, Kung Fu Panda 3 has an 85% positive Rotten Tomatoes score. Fandango is reporting today that Kung Fu Panda 3 is the top advance ticket seller for the weekend, outstripping previous DWA titles Home and Kung Fu Panda 2 at the same point in their sale cycles.

Kung Fu Panda 3 will play in PLF and 3D. AMC Theatres has partnered with Fox and DWA to play the movie in Mandarin at seven sites and in Spanish at 14 locations. There will be a mix of subtitled and dubbed formats of Kung Fu Panda 3. It’s the first time that AMC is playing a major theatrical release in dubbed/subtitled Mandarin....

 

Quote

it will be a cluster of holdovers and new entries in the $10M-$11M sphere

 

Quote

Walt Disney’s The Finest Hours based on Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman’s novel about a 1952 Coast Guard rescue mission off the New England coast is tracking for a $10M-$11M opening at 3,143 theaters. The film will receive extra ticket surcharges from 2,700-plus 3D locations, 190 IMAX screens, 50+ PLF screens and roughly 80 D-Box locations. Previews kick off Thursday night at 7 PM. Older guys are the prime crowd here.

 

Quote

Fifty Shades Of Black is expected to draw mostly younger females with a FSS of $10M-$11M at 2,075 with 1,600 to 1,800 theaters previewing tomorrow night at 7 PM. IM Global financed Fifty Shades Of Black for an estimated $5M.

 

Quote

...Jane Got A Gun at 550 locations..... the film will be lucky if it hits $1M this weekend.

 

Quote

The Revenant is looking at a sixth weekend that’s down in the 30%-tile, around $11M.

Star Wars 7 ... should do about $10M in its seventh weekend.

Dirty Grandpa ..hold best.. -40% second weekend decline, bringing in $6M-$7M

Beside that, do you really try to compare such different long in the run movies? As in 'It's bad...', beside being still #2 after already taking in so much during it's early weeks...?
