RichWS Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Martian's worldwide number has been fluctuating every week on Mojo for some time. It goes up, down, up, down always by a few million or so. I'm fascinated by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCKillswitch123 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) OH MY GOD, SPECTRE DID IT!!! Certainly not cleanly, as fudged as James Bond is a killer; BUT WHO CARES? SPECTRE FINALLY MADE IT TO 200M! That's probably the biggest news of the weekend, tbh As for the other big news of the weekend: oh boy... Allegiant. A few weeks ago, I was calling for many people's verdict that there was a possibility that Zootopia would threepeat even ahead of Allegiant to be a fail. No way, even w/the non-existant hype and the poor WOM, that the third chapter in a franchise whose two previous entries opened to 50M+, would drop THAT bad. But low and behold. ~50% drop from both Divergent and Insurgent's openings; didn't even made it to 30M. Wow. Certainly not a Gods Of Egypt type of flop for Lionsgate, w/a much higher opening and a slightly lower budget - but even that movie has a silver lining, given that it has made nearly 130M WW (probably thanks to China). Is Divergent even that big in the Middle Kingdom anyway? It'll cross 100M WW, for sure, but the previous movies both made it north of 200M; this one probably won't even cut that mark. Unless the fourth movie (which apparently is totally made up) is a David Fincher masterpiece in quality, the franchise is dead and raped. Especially w/that movie coming out in the middle of the Summer of the Year of Death, aka 2017. If Mockingjay wasn't the absolute final nail in the coffin for splitting the last book into two parts, this had to be it. But now for other more lighthearted news: Zootopia posting the 8th biggest 3rd weekend of all time, the 2nd biggest for a non-sequel/original and the biggest for an animated movie period! And w/600M WW in the border, not entirely but thanks to China's massive haul too, a billion is in the talks here. Not to mention that, w/this type of run, hardly would 300M DOM not be in the horizon. What a crazy ass run. Between Deadpool and this, 2016 has been a uber-exciting year so far. The final test to see how well it does will be the forthcoming week, though. Just how much of a bite will Batfleck take from it? Also, Deadpool and 10 Cloverfield Lane all pulling in some badass drops; the former still in the 20's range in spite of a theater decrease, and the latter doing a sub 50% drop while having to face the moral adversity of its spiritual predecessor suffering a 70% in its 2nd weekend many years prior. Unbelievable. London Has Fallen also w/an acceptable drop, it seems like that movie's audience is pleased w/what its getting, and the same goes for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, despite that never really being very note-worthy to begin with. Miracles From Heaven surprising and pulling the 15M debut expected for the 4-day weekend. Nice for it, I guess; shows you the market fidelity there. I guess since nobody went to see Messiah, and Risen's course is pretty much complete, the market was fresh for something else. Now we'll see the type of drops this is suffering; especially curious to seeing next week's performance. Midnight Special also w/a satisfying debut; if it does get a wide expansion, it'll be intriguing to see how it meshes w/the mainstream. Meanwhile, Messiah... won't even worth talking about it. It or Grimsby, which luckily made it to a 1M for the whole weekend. The Bronze still made both of those look like Avatar or TFA by comparision, though.
