Trust me, I lived there for almost 10 years until April. Union Square has never had matinees and it's a new thing at E-Walk.

It's probably the competition from the AMC Empire 25 that's one jaywalk away from the Regal E-Walk.

I would imagine. The E-Walk is a much nicer place, but Empire has twice the screens so it always has better movies and theater-hopping.

Not bad for X-Men.

[Plain Old Tele]

So compared with DOFP, X:A has a better hold today and will (almost certainly) have a worse drop tomorrow. All par for the course.

[cannastop]

Zootopia might have a single-digit week-to-week drop, even though it lost about 60% of its theaters.

Wow, Popstar is actually getting very good reviews.

 

Still won't save it from bombing though.

And then it'll do 4M today and people will panic as they usually do on Thursdays.

At this point, I am just discounting (  ) Tuesday holds for movies just based on the past few weeks. Everything holds really well on Tuesday, the Wednesday drops are where we start seeing the true trajectory of a movie.

I'm not gonna see it in theaters, but I'll check it out in a few months. I like Lonely Island and Hot Rod is pretty damn funny.

Yep, wonder if the reception means it'll have a demonstrably worse weekend drop than DOFP. DOFP wasn't exactly leggy (actually had one of the worst post-MD weekend drops in recent years)

[RamblinRed]

I wish some movie chains in Atlanta would get in on the Discount Tuesday.s I don't have any theater's near me that participate.

Deadline's new favorite word - Sequelitis.

 

They use it in every weekend preview and weekend report, it's the first word in this weekend's preview article

Quote

Sequelitis will continue to grip summer in the wake of a Memorial Day ennui which served up 20th Century Fox’s underperformer X-Men: Apocalypse and Disney’s disastrous Alice Through the Looking Glass. Overall, the average opening for a wide release sequel this year is -19% from its previous installment, so don’t expect Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows to top the surprise $65.6M opening of its 2014 reboot.

Emilia Clarke, who is beloved for her role as Daenerys Targaryen aka Dragon Lady

Deadline must browse TVTropes too much.

[WrathOfHan]

Honestly, X-Men has a very small chance at being #1 again.

[RichWS]

A 40% OW drop for TMNT2 would be pretty crappy. I figured it would drop 20-25%. Sometimes you can only get that audience to show up for the nostalgia kick on the first go-around. 

[department store basement]

Looks like I HEAVILY overestimated TMNT2's numbers.

 

I don't understand why its opening would drop over 50% from the first one's.

It's not like the first one was received all that well.

It had very good legs though.

I know at my theatre chain tickets are six bucks instead of 11. Tuesday's are most of the time our busiest day of the week. And at least in Canada it's pretty widespread. 

Here in the UK, Tuesday & Wednesday have two for one tickets nationwide for people who buy insurance through an insurance website. The difference at the box office is crazy.

[Captain Craig]

So it'll take till Friday for XM:A to hit $100m domestic then.

Is $200m out of the question, even if it had to crawl to that mark.
