Weekend topic: Split: $26.2m (Amazing drop!!!) | ADP: $18.3m | RE: $13.8m | HF: $14m | Gold $3.4m

[WrathOfHan]

Fantastic increase for La La Land. I was expecting around 11M. This definitely puts 150M back on the table.

Resident Evil held better than expected based off those Friday numbers.

lol xXx. Stay with the family, Vin.

 

[WrathOfHan]

I'm really thinking Lion is going to have a gigantic increase next weekend. If not for the Super Bowl, 10M honestly would've been on the table.

[Jandrew]

That's an insane drop for Split. Wow. That's rare for this era. And Hidden Figures is showing true staying power as well. Too bad for XXX.

SING makes an est. $23.3M overseas weekend, up 150%, for a $206.3M overseas / $463.7M global total. #Sing

RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER debuts with an est. $13.85M opening weekends. #ResidentEvil #TheFinalChapter

Predictions for next weekend:

 

Split: 17.5M

Rings: 12M

Hidden Figures: 11M

A Dog's Purpose: 10M

La La Land: 9M

Lion: 8M

Resident Evil: 5.6M

The Space Between Us: 5M

Sing: 4.3M

xXx: 4.1M

 

The Space Between Us has bomb written all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if it does only 3-4M because of how low buzz is.

[kayumanggi]

An original musical topping $100M? Only in LA LA LAND. Lionsgate's Best Picture frontrunner did just that w/ $12M this weekend, $106M total.

Do we know how wide Lion is expanding next weekend? 1,500+? 2,000+?

 

I think Split is gonna drop close to 40% and HF and LLL both over 30% (similar to Juno and Slumdog back in the day). Superbowl is a tough weekend.

It's expanding into 1,800+, but I won't be surprised if it hits 2k.

PTA is bound to drop with the combined effect of Superbowl and sudden huge expansion. I'd be cautious expecting anything over a 5m weekend. Not that there would be anything to worry about because it'll still be heading for a 40m finish.

Top int'l LA LA LAND markets: UK ($25M) KOR ($22M) OZ ($11M) ESP ($7M) GER ($5.5M) China will open on Valentine's Day.

It's super bowl next weekend. I think these drops are a little bit too small.

They might be a bit generous for HF and LLL, but I feel comfortable with the rest.

Everything but xXx held on tremendously in the top 10. Personally, I think people just wanna get away for a few hours from the horror show happening in the real world, so it might continue for a while like when the box office boon occurred during the recession in late 2008/early 2009.

Those holds are too optimistic on Super Bowl's weekend...

Rings feels like Blair Witch all over again.

[Maxmoser3]

Split had a below 35% drop isn't too bad, and should make over $120 million domestic.

It's had alot more marketing than Blair Witch, to be fair. Also, among kids of my generation (21-28), The Ring was THE horror movie for us when we were kids, moreso than the Blair Witch. I think it's heading towards around 15m, so not great or anything but bigger than post are predicting. I feel more buzz than Blair Witch, FWIW.
