Weinstein's LION scored $128,368 in 4 theaters this weekend, $32,092 per. Solid, but not the stuff of Oscar gold.

21.4 and 17.2

Great number for Moana and FB. Under 2% drop for Moana and under 7% for FB. 56M+/81.6M+(5 day) for Moana with the standard 40% drop while FB around 46M+.

[filmlover]

Remember when people were freaking out over Fantastic Beasts? Lol.

[Dingdong123]

Isn't that just a -2% drop for Moana?! That's great! Usual Saturday drops are like 5-6% so atleast that's something!

The way I see it:

-Below a 2x its budget = low chance of profitability, almost no chance of sequel unless it explodes on HV.

-2x its budget to 2.5x its budget = better chance of being profitable in the long run, a sequel may be considered depending on a number of factors.

-2.5x its budget to 3x its budget = very good chance of profitability overall, a sequel is a likely endeavor.

-3x its budget and above = pretty much confirmed to be profitable, a sequel is almost guaranteed.

I like your list very much.

If in question or for whatever reason the interest might need further 'investigation'... = more diggend does not hurt.

 

One big difference to earlier decades is also: in the past dom - with its bigger percentage at the cinema - had usually a way higher percentage on the ww than this decade. Hence one of the reasons for the need to adjust IMHO.

There are members here whom are not as experienced on Box office subject and numbers and asks some simple questions looking for help and answers. Why you have to be mean, I think and believe that BOT is a community that brings people together not make them make fun of each other!!!! How do feel if someone mocks you?

[James]

Why are people acting like RO will be the end of FB? At that point FB will not be doing much anyway and RO won't even make half of SW7 on OW. FB will be fine. The market can handle multiple movies, especially WOM events ones.
