Trek should at least be able to get across 180M and perhaps even cross the 200M mark. Its domestic showing could be the best for a non-300M+ movie this summer, unless Bourne manages to cross 200M. We'll see. A little farther in the feast or famine world.

Yeah, the more that gap between the $300M+ grossers and the everything else shortens, the better it'll be for the BO (not Body Odor) environment.

To be honest, $21M is solid for Ghostbusters. I thought most expected a sub-$20M 2nd weekend take.

All movies did pretty well considering how crowded this weekend was

Conjuring 2's WW is at 310. It could pass the original's 318

Most expected a 60% drop. Small victories.

That's... crazy. Has this happened before, in a summer month?

[Jonwo]

I'm guessing Irving, California and Bellvue WA have high Tamil population. What was the PTA for Kabali? It must have been high considering the low theater count.

The scale of the Scotiabank is what impressed me, it more like a mall than a cinema.

It also played CPLX Yonge & Dundas (Which once upon a time never happened or rarely) but out of the two sites Scotiabank took lion's share and yes Scotiabank cinema is a huge large indoor ticket counter, the food options ,few really large screens along with one of the biggest proper Imax theatres as well.

That's impressive, higher PTA than any of the top ten apart from Star Trek and third highest PTA after Cafe Society and Trek. Ab Fab's PTA was higher than Ghostbusters and Fox's own Ice Age, they must be pleased with how it did and I assume it'll expand. Anything Ab Fab makes in the US is just gravy as it's likely made its money back from just the UK and then some.

Yep, I love going to the theater when I'm in downtown Toronto.
