ROGUE ONE shot up $18M on Friday. Galactic domestic haul is now $393M--#3 of 2016 and just days away from taking down CA: CIVIL WAR.

On Friday, Disney's MOANA became the 12th film domestically of 2016 to top $200M+. Total is now $203M.

it looks like Star Wars: Rogue One will take a whole 16 days to cross $400 million domestic! Alas, the Walt Disney blockbuster will have to settle for crossing the $400m mark today and topping Captain America: Civil War ($408m) as the year’s second-biggest grosser in the bargain. The Gareth Edwards (and Tony Gilroy)-directed sci-fi prequel earned $18.1 million on its third Friday, a reasonable drop of 21%. The film has earned $393.5m domestic as of yesterday as it crossed the $700m mark worldwide. It has earned $706m global without whatever it earned overseas yesterday, so maybe around $725-$730m but we'll know for sure tomorrow.

You might see some erosion but the college football games aren't the ratings juggernaut that the NFL is.

Houston vs FSU was not a playoff game.

A Monster Calls limited run isn't even gonna break $100K. I don't even wanna know how poorly it's gonna do next weekend when it goes wide.

That has got to be one of the year's most blatant mishandlings of a film. It would have made a lot more money in October, when it was originally planned to come out.

[narniadis]

We have these games at this point every year no reason to effect any more than normal. As Baumer noted it's NYE which is enough to elicit drops on its own. 

 

Also as far as the kids / family films go if it keeps in sync with 2011 Friday was the high day of the weekend and Sunday will see slight drops (under 10%) from Saturday. However there were increases on Monday the 2nd. Just an FYI

[Mr Terrific]

Placing the college football playoff games on NYE was very disappointing from a ratings sense last year. 

The effect shouldn't be really big.

$18.2M for #RogueOne on final FRI of 2016. 4day holiday wknd looks to reach about $67M area. Total would climb to $443M after MON.

So my Sing over Moana domestic club is a success?!

Well, it's not a success, yet, but it does look likely. 

 

After Thursday, I'll plug both into my simple, stupid projector to see what sort of runs each would need to come out on top.

20 should happen and it would bring Passengers to 65 as opposed to 60. It was over 45 on Thursday and is on to 51 after 5.6 Friday.

Disappointing and they averaged 18 million (including live streams) for the two semi-final games. I would guess they do better this year since it's Saturday instead of mid-week.

Sing.. $16.799 million... Friday, a jump of 30% from last Friday.... around $41.98m (-19%) over the Fri-Sun frame and $54.5m (-1%) over the Fri-Mon frame to end the year with $178.172m.

Passengers .. $5.65 million (+26%) on its second Friday, ... $15.6m (+4%) Fri-Sun and $20.2m (-11%) Fri-Mon frame. ... a $65.5m 13-day total. ... hope for a $100m+ domestic total. The film may well kick butt overseas as well, with a release date in China allegedly set for Jan. 13. ... 

Fences .. $3.41 million ..Friday ... (it expanded to 2,300 theaters on Christmas Day), setting the stage for a $10.3m (+55%) Fri-Sun and $13m (+13%) Fri-Mon weekend. ... $32.7m by Monday.

La La Land... in 750 theaters... around $3.11m (+216%) on its first “semi-wide” Friday. T...a $9.65m (+68%) Fri-Sun and $12.5m (+36%) Fri-Mon weekend for a new $37.1m cume.

Why Him? .. $3.4 million (-13%) .. Friday for a likely $10.1m (-7%) Fri-Sun and $13.5m (-12%) Fri-Mon frame.

Assassin’s Creed earned $3.05m (-18%) ... Friday for a likely $8.525m (-19%) Fri-Sun and $10.875m (-27%) Fri-Mon frame. ...a $41.9m domestic total, making it the 15^th biggest video game adaptation...

Guess Forbes forgot that the 55m number last week was for Sings 6 day not 4 day lol. 

[terrestrial]

For the ones that count together the Disney in 2016 thing:

 

Doctor Strange made an est. Friday of $236,000

Queen of Katwe made an est. Friday of $8,000

Great Holliday week and weekend for Sing.  Man these guys know when to release a movie.  Demand and GA excitement for this film was no where near Pets, but a great release date is going to carry it to a pretty good gross.

However, it's still going to be a dog fight between Moana and Sing.

Sing is going to have some hefty drops and will be massacred by Moana in its mud run daily and weekend numbers because of Moanas very good Holliday run.

Personally I haven't seen either movie and may not until DVD release.  Neither look that great to me and Moanas music ,IMHO, is very sub-par Disney princess movie level.

[Hades]

Anyone remember Box Office pro first long range BO prediction for Sing LooooL. They thought Moana would corner the animated market this holiday.
