Is Disney going to do four week contracts for all the Star Wars films?

 

After a 4,000+ wide release its nearly impossible to get to week four without losing at least a few.

WHAT?

 

WHEN did this happen??? Last I checked I swear it was only last week and it was opening to like 50M... I had no idea it was doing so well.  

Christmas legs are a hell of a drug

Hidden Figures at 40% estimated Sunday drop while Rogue One is at 33%. They are only $172,000 apart for the weekend. Hidden Figures could end up #1 for the weekend when actuals come in.

Next week should see a fairly sizeable theater loss between the lowest-grossing locations dropping it and the plethora of new releases.

Rogue One and Hidden Figures lead in a close race this weekend, while Underworld:Blood Wars toned down this snowy weekend.

The top 12 was at $121.1 million which was down over 40% from last year, and was on-par with the first weekend of January back in 2008.

Rogue One easily led the top spot for its fourth weekend(although that could change in the actuals) with an estimated $21.9 million and by MLK weekend should become the highest grossing film of 2016 domestic! With nothing big out until February and March, Rogue One should end its run around $525 million.

While it won Friday, but was close on the weekend space film Hidden Figures had a decent start with an estimated $21.8 million, that debut is well above  Selma's $11 million debut from January 2015, but below The Butler. With solid word of mouth, awards talk, and counter-programming. Hidden Figues should launch between $60-$70 million domestic.

 

$525?  It is almost there already.

800m by next weekend. Shit! That was really more than I expected  

 

800m is definitely happening. Wow, I honestly thought 750m would be the ceiling after OW.

Yeah, it will go well over $540m. Currently running around 25% behind TDK's dailies. If that continues, it ends up right at $550m. Could go a bit higher or lower than that, but $550m should be a good target for now.

Without those two it might be (way)nworse. As more as I read about reasoning as more I am asking myself what Disney China was thinking (especially the title, but some other points as well)

Not the only country where they seem to have made ... mistakes / did not the ideal things.

 

That is true, the lower than expected presale to OD ratio likely suggested some draw power from Donnie and Wen, as Tigerpaw pointed out earlier. So I guess it is not accurate to say that they are of no use. But what I was getting at was that having Donnie and JiangWen in RO, while great, won't significantly alter the trajectory of the franchise in China, unless they make drastic changes to the tone and visual styles/signatures of the franchise, but then they will risk losing domestic audience and die hard fans, at this point that's a no brainer choice, domestic audience is the priority for Star Wars.

I think weather cost it several million this weekend. Expecting decent holds next few weekends. Disney should really consider a trailer for VIII over the MLK weekend or Presidents Day weekend. Doubt they will though.

Beasts is a BEAST! It will finish with about 810-815m WW and around 580-590m OS. Considering that DH2's OS adjusts to about 790m today, that is a 75% retention rate. And from your average Potter movie it actually hasn't lost audience. DH1 adjusts to about 560m OS.

Poor holdovers. Is the storm really that bad?

 

Look at 2012, much, much better holds.

Fantastic is a boxoffice beast. 

[John Marston]

This is the fourth consecutive time that DOM and OS year end #1s will be different.

 

2016 : Rogue One DOM, Civil War OS

2015 : TFA DOM, Furious 7 OS

2014 : American Sniper DOM, Transformer 4 OS

2013 : Catching Fire DOM, Frozen OS

 

The last movie to top both the DOM box-office and the OS box-office was The Avengers in 2012.

TDK summer dailies should pull away. 

 

Even $540m off a near $21-22m w/e mean it needs near 4x legs from this w/e on out.

[John Marston]

yeah Fantastic Beasts is doing terrifically overseas and will easily beat Rogue One. Shows how strong Potter is overseas

Yes, not only the storm which hit a lot of areas that almost never get snow (and don't know how to deal with it) but the temps in many places used to snow were more brutal than usual.

Snow, ice in one region and...

Evacuation Notice Issued, Water Rescues Underway As Deadly Flooding, Mudslides Hit California, Nevada

in other regions.

Same in Europe btw, some regions got hit hard

Quote

Blizzards, icy roads and dangerously low temperatures over the past two days have claimed more than a dozen lives in parts of Europe. The harsh winter weather has also cut off towns and caused massive power outages.

Wow, that's interesting.

 

I've just looked a bit further and it seems like there was actually a year where the Dom, OS and WW crown all went to different movies. 2002.

 

DOM: Spider-man

OS: Chamber of Secrets

WW: Two towers.

 

What a crazy year.
