Why would it hold better?

I don't think it will but they have about the same WOM, so I'd guess a 33%-35% drop is possible.

Fox’s “A Cure for Wellness” earned a sickly $1.5 million on Friday. 

New Line’s “Fist Fight” should round out the top five behind the second weekend of “John Wick: Chapter 2.” The comedy took in $3.8 million on Friday from 3,185 locations

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment’s animated adventure picked up an additional $7.5 million (Lego Batman)

Universal’s “Great Wall” starring Matt Damon earned $5.9 million on Friday from 3,325 theaters

Universal’s “Fifty Shades Darker,” which came out on top last Friday, looks to land solidly in second for the weekend after earning $6.8 million this Friday from 3,714 locations.

Even worse for JW2 and LBM, but even better for FSD. smh

[Krissykins]

A Cure for Wellness completely ignored, oooft.

 

I don't know if I can be bothered with it's 2.5 hour run time either.

Perfect! If LB has a $41M 4 Day, it'll reach $140M by the end of the month and if that happens $200M should be almost assured.

woops.

No chance that LB has a 41m 4-day with 7.6 friday.

 

Which is a pity, I was kinda hoping this performed well enough to get a franchise that could coexist with the superserious live action character. LB will still make good money (the budget for these Lego movies is really low), but I suspect WB might look to other places to milk the Lego universe.

So fifty darker will have a better second weekend than fifty shades. Interesting.

If it follows Spongebob:

$7.6M Friday

$16M Saturday

$11M Sunday

$8M Monday

Fifty Shades holding quite a bit better than expected. Probably due to the holiday weekend, but also since the movie has had a much more focused fanbase than the original which probably alienated much less people off the bat. Gotta give the Devil its due: Dakota might not be the only leggy thing about that movie.

 

Lego Bats on a crusade to reach high 100's, which is perfectly possible.... 200M I dunno anymore. It needed a sub 30% drop for that to be at least a 50/50 shot. That being said, if it holds like a monster, it could potentially make it. Though it has less than a month to get there, w/BATB and Boss Baby coming.

 

Sadly, doesn't seem like John Wick 2 will make it to 100M. Ehh, Magnificent Seven numbers will be pretty damn good for it anyway.

 

Newcomers BOMBAGE~ to say the least. The Great Wall's luck is its OS success, as its at over 220M WW. But w/a 150M budget, that's nowhere near enough to be a profitable movie. A Cure For Wellness will probably depend on OS as well, cause that result... yikes. Fist Fight poor as well.

 

The other holdovers all really good. La La Land, Hidden Figures and Lion all w/monster holds, not a surprise, but Split and A Dog's Purpose I thought would have lost their momentum by now. Still going like machines.

 

I think Logan has an outside shot at 100M OW, but will probably fall around Doctor Strange's 85M. Deadpool was a bit of an anomaly. That being said, it is tracking to same 60M+ that Deadpool was, so who knows. BATB will more than likely go over 150M. That thing is a (no pun intended) beast waiting to roar.

At least Fox paid nothing since it was on their network.

I actually think this was a pretty ingenious spot:

 

 

Probably one of my favorite movie spots of the SB this year.

They still pay. While the net effect might be 0 at the top level the individual segments still are on the hook for the expense.

 

Plus it replaced real revenue from outside companys 

[filmlover]

Poor A United Kingdom won't even make $5M in total. What's happening at Fox Searchlight these days? They haven't had an actual success since Brooklyn.

The Friday bump is already a bit lower than spongebob's. Batman has grossed more during the week so I don't think there's enough "reserved demand" to replicate Spongebob's second weekend multipliers.

 

Tomorrow will tell the tale I guess, I honestly want to be proven wrong and LB to break 200m, since I enjoyed it and I would like to get a sequel.

[Plain Old Tele]

RESIDENT EVIL actually dropped from Thursday to Friday.
