Weekend Thread | Official Estimates: Moana - 55.5/81.1M; Fantastic Beasts - 45.1M; Doctor Strange - 13.4M; Allied - 13/18M; Arrival - 11.3M; Trolls - 10.3M; Bad Santa 2 - 6.1/9M

[BadAtGender]

Current top 2016:

 

Zootopia

Arrival

Kubo & the Two Strings

Ghostbusters

Star Trek: Beyond

Finding Dory

Deadpool

 

And I dunno. Mag7, BFG, BvS, KFP3, and Suicide Squad are all shuffling around in there.

 

There's a lot of stuff I haven't seen, though. Moana will probably be this weekend. And I'd like to see Trolls, The Jungle Book, Hacksaw, Bad Moms, Fantastic Beasts, Pete's Dragon, Storks, The Nice Guys, Hell or High Water, Eye in the Sky, and several movies I'm pretty sure are just bad, but I'm interested to see how they're bad.

Glad to see Doctor Strange doing well.

 

It deserves it, IMO.

 

IA, it's holding up nicely. I'm glad it's sticking above Trolls this weekend as well, although I guess it has Moana to thank for that.

[MinaTakla]

Happy for ARRIVAL and hope it holds well on the weekend.

Partly due to the fact that Moana Drive in Double features have for the majority of it being Doctor Strange, which is giving box office medicine to him.

so what is Doctor Strange 4th week looking like right now?

$13-14m

 

In case you are intrested into that too:

DS's weekday numbers within the MCU list are only beaten by IM 3, CA 3, and both Avengers films.

But beside Thor 2 - under DS's weekdays- all the others had another release season, no 5-day holiday.

I'm glad I had the entire Edge of 17 auditorium to myself tonight because I cried multiple times. Multiple. It hit me so hard because it just made me think of my own life so much. My sister and I are the ages of the two main siblings, except really our roles are sort of reversed (but she isn't dating my best friend). My dad has lived in Vancouver for the past 6 months and that's made things hard, and really this year I may have mentioned it here or there but I've felt very alone at school; I feel like I have acquaintances but no friends, and this movie felt very therapeutic. 

 

I know if I'm feeling isolated it's partly my fault and I admit that. This movie showed how to deal with that, it hit me so hard guys. Go see it, it's so good.

Eww at that Moana Thurs estimates. Hope it goes up

[stripe]

Well, Frozen's crazyness was very difficult to match for any film. It's great to see a film that is almost matching Frozen's opening! +90M 5day is still in the cards for Moana.

 

Excellent for FB! The legs are great and I wouldn't be surprised if this Friday we see a 100% increase to 19M. 45M 2nd weekend is possible

I think $90m is out of the question. 

 

$85m still doable though. 

 

Moana doesn't have Hunger Games to compete with though. 

[Krissykins]

Ghostbusters has a good shot at finishing top 20 domestic now. 

 

I've seen Arrival twice now, I wish it was doing bigger business. Looks like it's going to do $75m.

15.7M

9.8M

25M

24M

14.5M

 

89M

More than 75m is still possible. Some people here are saying 90m is possible.

Its having a lovely hold this thanksgiving, one of the best in the top 10

So is that number good for Moana? Doesn't seem that great to me.

[MovieMan89]

The good news is Moana had a significantly higher preview # than Frozen, so if you take that out its Thursday drop is more on par with Frozen's. 

[wildphantom]

This time last week there were people on here saying Beasts wasn't hitting $200 million based on its preview number. 

 

It's going to cruise past that number.

You just got me to look up my closest drive-in. Moana+Doctor Strange is the double feature for one screen, but on the other, they have Almost Christmas and Moonlight. What's up with that?
