Until The Mummy crashes and burns. 

The Mummy could bomb spectacularly and it wouldn't erase the money they're profiting from the likes of Split and 50 Shades Darker.

The UK is massive in comparison with the other territories, it's like only English-speaking territories love the movie.....

 

That was the case for The Lego Movie as well, I think WAG's films are a bit too American centric in their humour whereas Illumination seems to be global focus with more slapstick gags that translate better.

Or get them in Star Trek 4.

SPLIT makes an est. $7.0M weekend (-26.5%), a $123.5M total. #Split

Yay, A Dog's Purpose passed $50m domestic today ($50.68m). The movie did amazingly well considering the BS sabotage job it had to overcome.

LLL had another amazing hold despite losing almost another 25% of its screens.

What to say about JW2, $100M is still on the table, it's all up to the holds the next couple of weeks. I was a bit worried about those ridiculous early estimates in the $12m range

Split's run is iconic.  A horror movie with a huge opening and fantastic legs.  And it's released in fucking January.

Indeed, that makes sense. That's weird when you think about it : it's a Danish brand!

The numbers for the openers range from to mediocre to crappy. No surprise there.

 

Totals look to be $180M for LEGO Batman, $115M for Fifty Shades, and $85M for John Wick. Solid all around.

 

Hidden Figures, Split, and La La Land are still killing it.

 

 

Shades and Wick will likely finish highe r

Drops next weekend will be kinda big coming off of a 4-day holiday and then theater drops aren't gonna be pretty throughout March given how insane it looks (John Wick in particular is gonna get slaughtered with the arrival of Logan), so those totals seem pretty reasonable.
