It's all up in the air right now and I still think Japan is the key. And looking at how the Sat-to-Sat drop this week is around 13%, I'd say it looks at an even better weekend drop than last week's -18%. That's beautiful WOM at work. Hope is not dead yet.

Of course, the other thing is competition, namely Rogue One. But looking at the presales here (which are a good indicator considering TFA is the 2nd highest grossing movie ever) and word in a few other markets from the international thread I think more than a few people will be disappointed with that one, OS at least. It's all about perspective and insane expectations in the end.   

Well so how do you see this ending in Japan?

In order to rach 800m it seems to me that 240m DOM and 150m China-Japan must happen. And even if it does, it's still not a sure thing obviously..

What sort of drop are you expecting?

Identical third Friday hold to Frozen for Moana.

Corpse said 60m for Japan total last week, but that was because of insane competition coming up. Corpse also predicted a 30%+ drop this weekend for FB, in the face of it's first big competitor. That competitor is actually beating predictions, but even so FB looks at an under 15% drop and will likely keep the top spot for a third week. So imo 70m will happen and I'm hoping for 80m. We need to see how it fares against RO and the new Yo-Kai movie, but if WOM is as good as I think it is, FB will be just fine.

If we see 70m then this changes a lot of things...let alone 80...I mean if these numbers happen, 800m will also happen imo!

This is shockingly bad for Bad Santa 2. What the hell happened?

I honestly think it is performing in a best case scenario situation.

They didn't make a movie that was either good or compelling.

Think 90% of non-superhero live-action sequels this year. People didn't care about it, so they didn't see it.

I don't know how popular Seinfeld was when it originally aired here in Brazil, but it left zero impact on popular culture. No one talks about it, I never see it on TV, you can't find it on any streaming service, was never released on blu-ray, etc. Friends on the other hand is HUGE.

La La Land actually is off to some solid ground in its limited run already. Lionsgate should be satisfied with 5 hits this year, and an awards contender. Something the studio hasn't seen since Crash was released. But they're going to be losing $$$$ with Power Rangers next Spring.

Friends is one of the few shows that you could say actually defined a generation. I watched every episode each week from when it premiered during my last year of middle school to when it ended a year after I finished college.

So glad to see Arrival holding so well, it is going to end with one of the best legs of year. Already watched two times, I cried in both times, masterpiece.

It'll have the same effect SLOP did on Dory IMO. So far Sing has been underperforming everywhere it has opened.

[a2k]

Emily Blunt beat her Edge of Tomorrow co-star - Girl on Train vs Jack Reacher 2 (75 vs 60)

Amy Adams gonna beat her BVS co-star - Arrival vs Accountant (90+ vs 85)

Coincidentally 4 movies opened to similar numbers within a couple mil of each other.

Women in Leading roles++

I could never make it past Friends' opening theme song.

 

Damn, it's annoying.

 

That song probably plays in hell non-stop.

"I'll be there for you......"

In your head now? Thanks for putting it in mine?

I have a Sing under BH6 club. 2-3 people are IN and lots of OUTs the last time I checked.

Moana is looking at 275 I guess. 50+ clear of BH6. Could be 75-100 clear of Sing imo in the end.
