I won't be surprised if Star Wars falls by about 50% today. All the kids are still off school and the movie theater was pretty busy today. So I'm going to call around and a million-dollar Tuesday.

 

Tried to do some research on that, and I don't know how many school districts in the US are out at the moment.  Not many though, I'd guess.

 

*checks*

 

Hey, whadda ya know.  School districts in Sacramento are out this week.  At least my local one is.  Every bit helps.

And yet they still had a much better year than most studios. Fox Searchlight made only $30M last year if you take out 2015 holdover Brooklyn, yikes.

 

True although Ab Fab was successful for them OS making a nice profit from just the UK alone. 

 

Amazon Studios had a great year along with STX.

5 years ago, MI:4 & SH2 fell 61% & 57% between them from Monday to Tuesday. 

 

The post-festivities  comedown is quite brutal.

Adjusted, it would be Gremlins:

 

 

Suspect THAT is a record that is going to stand for a long long time.

What did the vastly superior sequel make adjusted?

He'd probably cameo and own a Gremlin named Pussy, whom he likes to grab.

Yep, except he plays the president trying to stop the Gremlins from being legal citizens by building a wall/deportation force lead by Gizmo, who denies his own race.

The movie ends with Kim Jong Un and his Gremlin ($5 Dorrar voiced by Tyler Perry) nuking America. The sequel is on track for 2020, in Gremlins V. Minions: War on Comic Reliefs.
