Or other reasons I might not know, living in another continent, I do not know the Christmas preparation traditions, the dom weather reports, sports events, whatever.

The silence before the storm (SW 7), is that a saying in English too?

Looking at the weekend before SW 7 got released last year:

#1 and #2 both reached just / something over $11m

See DAJK's posts about the bad weather impacting the admissions at the cinema he works for and his thoughts about the weather might impact this weekend posts earlier in the week. I was expecting less based on that, without expecting a certain result anyway = not meant as didn't people read (beside people being snowed in or ill, I guess no one will have read everything here, and probably not even them).

 

 

Calm before the storm, but close enough.

 

I believe this is generally a slower weekend at the box office anyway; but yes, next weekend is going to EXPLODE!! Lol

Yeah its not getting to 235m after this drop...

Oh yes it is. It'll be at almost 200m by the end of the weekend. 35m after a 10m weekend won't be hard. Especially with the holidays around the corner. Also how is this a bad drop? DH1 and GOF both dropped 50% on their 4th weekends. This is headed for a sub 45% drop. FB can drop harder than both those films for the remainder of its run and still hit 235m.

Is it me or your words are contradictory? You mean this will get more than 235m? Because @Lumos was saying that the drop was good..

Moana at $4.147 mil. On target. Almost exactly $18 mil with last weekend's multiplier.

TS2's same Saturday was $4,136,819. The pattern is getting a little too obvious now  hope it goes over $18M. same multi from last weekend gives it about $17.9M

38m after a 10m weekend with Rogue One coming out. This thing is having 42% drop against no competition the last two weeks. It will drop over 50% next weekend.

[bladels]

Beasts and Strange's DOM will be really close. Maybe Moana too

All 3 look to finish with $235-240M

Right. And it should stabilize nicely afterwards. Potter films were extremely leggy over the Xmas season. And seeing as FB is getting better WOM and has been having better drops over the last month it seems silly to just assume this will drop into obscurity once Rogue One is released.

I am seeing more of a 228-232m finish.

As far as I am aware there was never a comparable franchise vs franchise, where the audience seems to have a similar overlap.

I do not know what is needed to call 'silly' if someone (my impression the majority here) assumes, nor have I seen formulations that could mean 'drop into obscurity'

The idea seems to be it will break the higher/better than average drop series.

= that is not meant as in it is question to break totally (= not), but the general opinion seems to be that there might be an measurable (considerable / recognisable / to see in a graph chart...? term?) impact. What has an over 50% drop to do with 'drop into obscurity'?

[yjs]

I actually don't see why not $245M-$250M for FB and same for Moana. next week will tell a lot hot those two stand against R1.

I do not think DS will reach $235m dom, as I think it will loose a lot of screens to SW R1 (both Disney, Disney will look out for getting as much screens as possible for the starting 2 weeks), but I am not into predictions, so who knows

 

[FantasticBeasts]

MJ2 added another 45m since the friday of its 4th weekend with TFA. Idon't see why FB will do less than 50m..

[Jake Gittes]

If LLL follows Grand Budapest's IM it can do 934k for the weekend. I wish it could pull off a million.

MJ2 was performing on a 10% higher scale tho. (3.3M Friday, 11.4M weekend) but at the same time R1 is not TFA, so... but then again, last year TFA just dominated but this year there will be other holiday options than R1 like Passengers, Sing, AC.. don't know which is better and which is worse.
