The top 11 pics for Dec. 2-4, 2016 per industry estimates as of Friday evening:

1). Moana  (DIS), 3,875 Theaters (0) / $6.5M Fri (-70%) / 3-day cume: $30.3M (-47%)/Total: $121.8M/Wk 2

A sub-50% drop would be very good for Moana!

Is Incarnate bombing?

The post Thanksgiving weekend is where movies typically go to die.

Fighting for good seats in a movie theater is an American tradition.

Also Reserved never sells out since no one wants to order the closest to the screen tickets.

 

 

I like strolling in during the trailers and getting my family perfect seats.

 

Anything less is a waste of time and effort imo.

30.3m off a 6.5m Friday? Can someone show me how that's remotely feasible?

[MinaTakla]

ARRIVAL's 6.6m is in line with Mojo's prediction of 7.0m for the weekend with the expansion. I think it's a good number. Without the expansion, this 6.6 would have been a 5.5-5.6m figure, a -52-53% drop on par with the drops of Dr. Strange, Trolls - better than FB and AC, with only Moana, Allied and Hacksaw (also saw expansion) dropping better. Overall, a -43% drop for Arrival will be among the best of the weekend.

Disney animated movie w/e multiples this time of year.  Frozen did $31.6m off a 6.7m Friday.  Tangled did $21.6m off $5.1m

Yes, that's what I looked up after I posed the question.  

 

I guess 125% jumps on Saturday are expected.

[yjs]

wow, $30M+ would be surely a pleasant surprise.

[La Binoche]

10.) Manchester by the Sea (RSA/AMZ) 156 theaters  (+108)/$653K Fri/3-day: $2.2M (+85%)/Total: $4.3M/Wk 3

A 47% drop for Moana during one of the slowest box-office weekends of the year would be insane!

 

I wonder how small next weekend's hold can possibly be?

 

$300 million is definitely still in play.

I'm not surprised at the early expectation for Moana. Which families will more likely to the movies more going into the weekends, and not any real family competition until the Sing/Rogue One combo coming soon. 

[grey ghost]

Moana was always going to be much stronger on the weekends than FB.

 

But will it be enough to catch up to FB?

As I said, if Moana drops less than -50% this weekend, 300 million is still in play so YASSSSSSS.

[Noctis]

$17.2m only with a $5.3m Friday for FB?

Probably a $20M weekend, or a 33% drop. Should easily win the weekend again (especially when Office Christmas Party is looking like mid-teens at most).

If that number holds it will already be $25.3m ahead of Tangled ($200m) at the same time and about $5 ahead of Toy Story 2 ($245.8m) with am almost 11% bigger weekend

Is there a daily comparison chart with Strange, FB and Moana?
