[John Marston]

Holdovers will rule the rest of the top of the chart with Warner Bros. The Lego Batman Movie flying down to second with an estimated third weekend of $15.5M, -52% for a running cume by Sunday of $129.5M. The toy brick DC superhero is expected to gross $4M today.

Uni’s Fifty Shades Darker is looking at $9.5M in its third weekend, -53% for running total of $105.4M. Friday looks to count an estimated $3.3M.

Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 2 is now estimated at $2.2M today, $6.6M for its third weekend, -59% and a total by EOD Sunday of $72M.

Dammit, now I need to watch the movie to put this gif in context.

Suit up and do it.

Why is Deadline hating on Great Wall, give me the fucking numbers

[MCKillswitch123]

Again, I take DHD w/a grain of salt, but that's a bad drop for Lego Bats, and that's a HORRIBLE drop for John Wick. 60%? Are you shitting me? No way this movie was THAT frontloaded. Only way I see it is if its audience overlaps w/Get Out's, which kinda makes sense, but still. But w/a 2.2 Friday, are you sure that's the correct number? DHD gon' DHD. Mid 7's, possibly 8 is where I see it falling on.

 

I have no reason why would Bats drop that bad, on the other hand. WOM is great, it's an animated movie w/zero competition... I don't get the bad drop here. There must be a reason - I thought there was no reason Civil War dropped bad either, until I realized that audiences actually didn't care as much about the film as critics did - but right now, I don't see it.

 

Funny how, once again, Fifty Shades has the most note worthy drop on a positive scale. 53% on 3rd weekend isn't good, especially coming off a 52% drop last weekend, but considering the type of movie we're talking about, I'm shocked it has held on this well for 2 weeks in a row. That's actually kind of impressive. Kudos where they're due. (Again, assuming this is all true)

 

But yeah, bad drops all around. Except Hidden Figures, though. That beast is still fucking killing it. Can I hope that it beats The Revenant? That would be awesome.

I think JW will be more like 7.5 of that Friday, Lego closer to 16m, and 50SD about 9m.

It's still early so those Fri. numbers could change too.

Last weekend was a 4 day holiday, which no doubt cushioned some of the blows.

[Jake Gittes]

A $4m Friday will give Lego Batman a $17-17.5m weekend if it follows The Lego Movie, and if John Wick follows Safe House it gets roughly the same 52-54% drop and a $7.5m weekend.

Well people that have seen the first one got really excited to see JW and went in the first 2 week, and there is a lot of resistance among those you have not seen the first I would imagine.

Moviegoers Will ‘Get Out’ Of The House & Spend $26.5M-$28M On Jordan Peele’s Directorial Debut – Midday B.O. Update

Such a title, kind of clever

 

Also, I love how that's breaking news on their site. Shows how big it is when they're just for entertainment

[ban1o]

Those are great numbers of course but hope they go higher

Considering Deadline lowballed Split at $30-32 million during early/mid afternoon its OW and its solid buzz/reviews, Get Out will likely do low-mid 30s for the weekend.

[franfar]

Hoping, but not expecting, for the 40m OW

Hopefully, We'll see. Split help up very well and has had good legs. Get Out might be frontloaded.

No freaking way it drops that much.

Get out will outgross Split in the end. Minorities kicking ass both critically and commerivally with horror/psychological thrillers. Take that white folks.

Well considering the film was likely bank rolled by white folks, not much of a take that.  More of a minorities sharing in the success type of thing

I like Deadlines new line of stopping to overestimate and starting to be überconservative
