Yep. I'd never thought it would have grossed more than Girl on the Train but I guess Affleck factor in Gone Girl got underestimated. 

 

Arrival is a beast and should hit 100M sometimes next year. It's staying in awards race so legs should be long indeed.

Arrival drop is one of the Top 20 post-Thanksgiving weekend drop of all-time

 

The only movie with a better hold this century is Hugo, and that had a much more significant theater increase (+44% vs +19%). Well done.

Moana flopped in the UK. £2.1m opening, lower than The Good Dinosaur. Absolutely horrible, I don't know what happened. Way below previous WDA films. Maybe it'll do well over Christmas, but OS so far is looking quite weak. 

 

@Grand Moff Tele will be happy. He has Moana under 600M WW in his winter game and has been rooting for it to underperform. Based on China and U.K. Numbers it looks very likely it can come in below the number he wants (unless it pulls off a Frozen in Japan)

Will end really close to a 4 Multiplier. Great run for it, it's OW was higher than expected and it just had some great drops throughout. Will end up winning October over GOTT which no one predicted.

Moana seems almost tailor made for Japan. There's more than a little Miyazaki in there. But then again that's how I felt about Brave and that didn't set the market on fire. Still, the potential to break out in Japan is certainly there.

Given that second weekend hold for Arrival was far more brutal than I expected, I'm very relieved the great legs decided to show up.

It HAS to breakout big in Japan now. This OS performance so far is slit my wrist depressing. Not sure what the huge disconnect between the DOM and OS audiences is with it?

Great numbers for Moana/FB!  Just an FYI for any Frozen comps going around - Frozen had a sleet/winter storm on its second weekend on the EC that muted its numbers a bit, which made the 3rd weekend look a bit softer than typical.

 

Awesome for Manchester as well!  Caught it Black Friday at Tysons and twas enjoyable; a unique character portrait.

 

I hope to get to a full sellout count for Rogue One later today, it's my first relatively "free" day in a long time.  Also going to post price comps vs. TFA across my area.

[Heretic]

Strange though because when animated films do well in the US they almost always do very well in the U.K. too. Maybe it'll have out-of-this-world legs.

[misafeco]

Great hold for Arrival and Hacksaw Ridge. Wow. Post Thanksgiving drops are usually way bigger.

Dec 2: 7.3M (2M weekdays, 75.1M Total)

Dec 9: 5.8M (1.6M weekdays, 82.5M Total)

Dec 16: 3.8M (1.4M weekdays, 87.7M Total)

Dec 23: 3.5M (1.3M weekdays, 92.5M Total)

Jan 1: 3.3M (600k weekdays, 96.4M Total)

Wut ?

I blame Brexit.

Blame seemingly non-existing advertising (according the UK thread in the international sub-forum)

THIS. If it was doing equally bad like TGD I wouldn't have been so frustrated and just, accepted the fate more easily you know 

I thought maybe because the brown skin, then I don't wanna think that and would just prefer to think it was the little to no promotion at the cost of pushing DS and R1 more.

This weekend is all about the indies. That is a sensational expansion for Manchester by the Sea. My audience yesterday was one of the oldest I can ever recall seeing a movie with, even older than when I saw The King's Speech or Lincoln. And after seeing the movie, it's gonna be around all of Oscar season.

 

The hold for Nocturnal Animals gives me hope that next weekend's wide expansion won't be too bad.

 

Pretty good start for Jackie but it'll be interesting to see how it fairs in expansion given that it's less mainstream-friendly than the typical biopic and its buzz has been fading as of late.

Clearly in the fifth millennia of his life, his senility these days knows no bounds.

Watch Arrival finish just short of $100M ala The Social Network.

Beasts has now surpassed Strange OS. $424m vs $419m. Beasts is going to be the second film in a DECADE to hit a 3x multiplier for a November opening above $50m. It just needs to do $223m to achieve that, which I think is likely at this point. 

 

And GREAT overseas weekend for Beasts. I think it'll end up with $225m DOM and $535m OS for $760m WW. 

 

Moana FLOPPED hard in the UK. 

Considering the great drop in Japan, I seriously doubt it only makes 110m OS from now on. It should make at least 30m more from that market alone, possibly more.

Would be nice if it could beat Independence Day Regurgitation on this chart
