The second weekend of May has proven lucrative for comedies and adult dramas, Gatsby did great there so you wonder why studios don't take advantage of that slot. 

Because it has produced several big budget bombs and underperformers.

22M (+170%)

35M(+63%)

25(-30%)

82M(-54%)

 

Sat jump is reasonable, but if it got to 22M today, then I think another 60% gain is pretty optimistic. 

 

-30% on Sun is low, I think it'll be closer to -35%

I used IM3 63% jump. Ultron jumped 59% also which gets us to 80M+ weekend as well.  You do have a point about the Friday jump which is substantially higher than both so maybe Saturday jump will be around 50%. Hopefully 22M sticks because that's the key to a strong weekend hold.

 

Yes, that was my point. $22m would mean much bigger Friday increase than IM3/Ultron. Usually means a balancing effect somewhere else (Saturday increase). $22m Friday would be amazing and give it a good chance at $80m weekend.

That still gets you to over 80M 2nd weekend. Which is great result for CW and bodes very well for the legs.

Yeah, I hope for 80M+ as well.

 

How early was this number? I thought we're normally given a range.

It'll settle in around 77.

But most of those were always going to bomb.  Most were bad movies.

It's gonna be a good second weekend drop any way you slice it with that Friday. I'm thinking it ends up with a very similar multi to Deadpool and close to 500.

Unlike last year there isn't a mad max mediocre road or pitch perfect 2. CW is headed to 77-81 mil.

The Nice Guys is really, really good.

Allow me to be the first of a hundred to say: "Expected number."

Fury Road is better than any superhero movie, ever.

Well duh, but that's a low hurdle to clear.

Just noticed that Civil War dropped to 89% on RT meaning it now has the same score as The Winter Soldier.
