I don't care about the box office side of it, just want to see it in IMAX again. Only got to see it one time in IMAX during its original release.

It seems like only a few months since I saw it in IMAX 70mm.  Oh, wait. It was only a few months.

Pretty big drops for everything. RO should still do at least $26m (I'd say $28m or so). Still on its way to $550m+...

You are very fortunate. Sydney IMAX is the greatest screen in the world.

For all the flack it received, Assassin's Creed is shaping up to be quite successful OS. Same for Passengers.

Monster Trucks getting 2800+ theaters next weekend.  Slay.

Moana comparisons!

 

 

Year    Film        Eq. Wed        Ratio        Final
1999    TS2        0.68         2.04        286m
2007    Enchanted    1.11         1.25        233m
2010    Tangled        0.51         2.73        299m
2011    Muppets        0.19         7.31        240m
2011    Hugo        0.22         6.32        362m
2012    Guardians    0.88         1.58        233m
2013    Frozen        1.18         1.18        334m
2014    Penguins    0.11        12.64        280m
2015    TGD        0.16         8.16        286m

 

Pretty basic. Just taking the ratio of Moana's Wednesday to the equivalent Wednesday and then multiplying that by the remaining gross of each film.

 

There's obviously range. I didn't include Arthur Christmas, because it was pulled from theaters the following Thursday. If Moana did the same, it'd end up at right about BH6's total.

 

It's interesting that both Pixar films predict the same total. I think both are high, though. The Muppets is interesting, because of calendar configuration. 

 

Average of all of them: 283m

Average without Hugo: 273m

Average without Hugo & Frozen: 265m

IFFFF it somehow gets to $299 million... Tangled 2.0 Fudging incoming.

That's a sign of a dump, bro.

 

Other counts for next week:

 

Live by Night- 2,750+

Silence- 750

It will be once again. I think they should play TDK and TDKR when they re-open and Darling Harbour RISES back to its rightful place as the greatest movie screen in the world.

Of course. Who doesn't want to see the heartwarming story of a boy and his...monster truck?

 

Oh who are we kidding. This won't even be the next Mac & Me.

Yeah, but that's highly unlikely. Tangled itself could be removed as a comparison, if only because of how wonky its late legs were to get it over 200m. If you do that, the average drops to 260m, which actually seems about right, given how it's held up and the relative lack of new competition for the next month.

[YSLDC]

I'm so happy for Lionsgate. They deserve a win. La La Land, John Wick next month and then... Power Ranegrs!

I have heard no reports of a scene of spontaneous dancing in McDonald's so that is a little concerning.

Any reports on whether or not it'll still be able to show film?  Be a shame if another IMAX film location went away.

It's gonna be Laser, which to my eye is great but still not quite as good as 70mm IMAX. The next generation of Laser (perhaps with dual 8k instead of 4k) will be the true replacement for 70mm IMAX projection.

See?  Paramount has more confidence in it than Silence!  And Live by Night is only in 2,750 despite starring Affleck!  Paramount has a surefire hit.

That's because it happens at Burger King, of course.
