I don't understand why Rogue One's number is shocking.  A 52% drop is basically identical to The Force Awakens' 53% post-New Years week drop last year.

RO had a deflated weekend with NYE falling in the weekend while SW7 was outside. Not a shocking number but it's not good, in the context. It should have held better than SW7.

Office Christmas Party quietly passed $110m last weekend.

 

Not bad, film wasn't very good though.

I think that worked decently for the holiday period, but not so much for anything that follows. We are back to normal days again, movies don't really have any reason to follow the same trends anymore. 

 

The 2011 comparison works until this weekend I think. If you compare with last year's post New Year's weekend the drops aren't bad. But last year most holdovers had 50% drops because they were coming off of an inflated weekend with New Year's Day on a Friday, this year (like 2011) they are coming of a deflated weekend because New Year's Eve was on Saturday. The biggest drop in the top10 in 2011 was Chipmunks with -42%, everything else had smaller drops. Maybe the weather is to blame but these drops aren't very good across the board.

Snowstorm gon' be snowstorm, I guess. I still think HF will do better than those estimates, but ehh, at least its drops won't be so harsh when the storm goes away. Similar thing happened last year, iirc (which lead to things like The Boy having ridiculous legs).

Good lord. No wonder they keep churning out those kind of shitty comedies.

 

EDIT: thought that number was DOM. Still...

Not bad for Underworld, considering its 35 million budget and its 45 million overseas grosses.

 

If it makes at least 100 million worldwide ( and for a fifth movie, this is quite good ), I guess we'll be watching Underworld The Last War soon. 

 

Anyway, the plot really needs to wrap up. I mean, vampires and werewolves need to call it a day and have dinner together.

Yes, and it's already at $450m DOM for crissakes. Do people expect it to pass Avatar? It's going to creep past $500m DOM, and who can be unhappy with that? 

[filmlover]

Silence is just not catching on at all. If it doesn't get major Oscar recognition next week, it's likely not even gonna pass $10M in total.

Check up if the weather was similar

When more or less all titles are lower than predicted and several members point out to the bad weather in certain regions, I'd take that seriously enough to look into it if still being .... not sure what is correct: worried, irritated, simply wondering strongly, or... 

 

FWIW, it's not just bad weather in isolated pockets, the entire broad southeast, from Richmond to New Orleans, is experiencing way-colder than normal weather this weekend. Pretty big cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, Richmond, Birmingham, and New Orleans are getting ice and sleet, roads have been closed, emergencies have been declared, etc. and temperatures are WAY down across the board even in most of Florida. And these are places where folks aren't used to these conditions.

Hyperbole much? No one ever expected it to pass Avatar, but there's no way around it, the Friday number is below average and so is the WE, if it stays at $23m. It's not terrible by any means, but it definitely is significantly below expectations (only 65% jump from Thursday). That being said, weather is apparently terrible in some parts of the US, so it must have affected the BO quite a bit.

Niceeer.

[miketheavenger]

I think the weather is impacting every movie this weekend. As long as RO has a soft drop next Weekend (and I think it will), this number isn't too bad.

Silence was always going to be a tough sell. Its more of a passion project for Marty than something that was ever to make money

Tell that to the people who thought it could be this year's The Revenant. Oops.

To show it wasn't expected to have the high 5th weekend numbers that e.g. Avatar had anyway... add weather, don't be that disappointed, that was , what I understood the answer / post like.

Dry comments, understatement in expecting, overstatement (term?) to show what is meant

Next weekend is MLK weekend, so things should be fine. Patriot's Day and Live By Night should both have sucessful starts. while Sleepless is going to debut around Broken City or Triple 9, Monster Trucks will be Pluto Nash 2.0, and Bye Bye Man wil go bye bye.

[baumer]

I think at this point Rogue one has done everything it has needed to do. It's going to gross 500 million and it's going to make a billion worldwide. I think Disney and lucasfilm are going to be over the moon with these kind of numbers

I'm feeling Patriots Day will be the only opener to make more than $15M. Live by Night's ad campaign has been really muted and unpersuasive (the reviews and direct competition from Patriots Day won't help either), while the other openers look like January dumps.

I like your weekend recap stuff but sometimes when you make bold blanket statements like what you just made, and you do it often, I'd like to know where you get your opinions from? Like what are you basing this stuff on? How can you possibly know what is going to do what. Bye bye man looks like another generic January horror movie and just like other generic January horror movies it has the potential to open up to silly numbers like 10 or 15 million. All I'm saying is that it would be interesting if you gave us comparisons and reasons as to why you think what you think.
