JohnnyGossamer Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Also, remember, fewer schools are out this year on the Monday prior to Christmas than last year which slightly deflates the Monday holiday season gross. But, regardless, thinking around $535M DOM for final. Just a hunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt, you can compare it to a sub $40m-opener in any way. It's not going to line up exactly, but it's the best comp we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoting a post that said it could follow the drops of Sherlock Holmes 2, I merely added the numbers to show what this would mean if it actually happened. In no way did I suggest that it actually would play out that way. I even added where I think it starts to get a bit crazy.

stripe Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 1 hour ago, JohnnyGossamer said: I swear @SteveJaros is trolling us often here. He says he's followed the box office for nearly twenty years yet fails to acknowledge how distinctly different weekdays play over the holiday season v. early April and early May? Even when given evidence from previous years, namely 2011 when Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve last fell on a Saturday, or multipliers during the holiday season in general over the past 5 to 10 years, he seems to actively ignore said information. It's strange. The anomaly would be sub-$425M DOM for R1. It would play opposite of the holiday season box office trends charted over the past 10+ years. He better be a troll. His predictions are so off that they are embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I have a friend who worked for Cinemark and he told me several years ago when the Tuesdays started becoming a thing it was because Wednesdays had special performances and or new openers and they did not want to discount such things. Of course this was in the Era before previews for Wednesday openers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the deadline quote one page earlier (probably posted a second before you posted this = you might have missed it), deadline quotes the % of schools open/closed... too, to get a maybe feel for the differences? I think it is a good thing that comscore... report those %, a lot less work to do to try to get a feel for members here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) 59 minutes ago, RamblinRed said: Something close to that. Disney was at 2,700.5B as of Sunday night, so it needs basically 300MM between December 19-31. Moana and DS should provide about 40MM during that time frame so that means it needs about 260-265 from R1 - which would mean 415-420 total as of Dec 31st. Moana would do $50m by Dec 31 if it follows Toy Story 2's pattern which it's pacing ahead of. Edited December 20, 2016 by TalismanRing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surely is the best comp, but sometimes even the best comp is useless and I guess that's the case here. I think it's fair to say, that RO won't come close to a 146% increase on Christmas Day and I'm not even sure, it will get a tuesday bump at all, so it might get off schedule as early as today already.
