Weren't you one of the ones predicting some ginormous weekend and that the rest of us were underestimating how big this was going to open up?

Yes and you were. Very few here predicted 65m+ OD. That was despite already getting dragged through the mud on RT all week. SS was going to be massive, and then they dropped that movie on us.

This might end up pretty well for my weekly answers.

I'm sorry, honestly. I guess you didn't know it was going to be THAT bad. You'd probably have been right, had it actually been a good movie.

Don't see why this will fall 33.3% since it's not Easter. More like 26-27% I think.

BvS Sunday was Easter Sunday, I think it won't be as bad as that

 

CA:CW had a Sunday drop of -30.7%, for what its worth.

Schools were still in session, so Sunday would have heavier drops (and better Saturdays)

I wonder how Baumer's going to react to this.

Probably try to pass it off as a "normal, always expected" drop since he somehow liked the film.

People are projecting with their emotional reaction to the movie right now.

So, we're looking at about 8-9 million drop from the true 45 million Friday. That's approximately 20% How much of that was Friday inflation due to free tickets? And how much of that is due to poor WOM or poor RT attrition? 

I always though the T-Mobile tickets would inflate Friday and my guess was it would lead to a Sat drop. 

But if you take that T-Mobile boost away it makes the Thur previews even more front loaded in comparison to the w/e. 

 

That could be due to reviews, WOM or just that it's skewing toward younger adults and teens so it would tend toward front loaded-ness.

Suicide Squad collapsed on Saturday. And meltdowns occurred. Thats all that happened.

T-Mobile is a wild card for sure. Certainly seems like it was a bigger factor than most of us expected.

I honestly might have enjoyed Fantastic Four more than Suicide Squad, sorry guys :/

Ugh, why couldn't Nolan have just spared us the Interstellar mumbo jumbo and masterminded this whole DCEU first phase? 

no thank you, he is better than this superhero stuff.

As long as it does sub 130, I don't particularly care how it gets there.

IIRC, Baumer didn't even think SS was hitting 100 OW, so again he'll probably still say what an amazing achievement this is, blah blah blah. 

 

Anything is amazing out of proper context. If I go tell some random person on the street that an indie movie they've never heard of made millions of dollars this weekend they'd probably be in awe and think that was huge.

With RTH's current range, I think it'll just miss. Maybe could get there with the high end but not likely.

130m ish weekend.  Still not bad.
