Great for Kong! 300m should come from US+China alone. So 500m+ WW should be the target.

My goodness, this movie.

HIDDEN FIGURES makes an est. $2.7M weekend (-27.7%), a $162.8M total. #HiddenFigures

That means a 16.2M Sunday, so WB is expecting a low to mid 30's drop today.

Really good performance for Kong, but there's still a long way until the movie makes a profit.  I'm happy the movie is performing quite good for now.

 

Amazing for Logan, considering the movie has no 3D and it's rated R. No point in comparing it to previous X-Men movies, which were all rated pg-13 and even got 3D to boost ticket prices. Even a 60% drop wouldn't have been all that bad. This is not a movie for kids and teens at all. 

 

Insanely good for Get Out. I'm pretty sure we might get a trilogy. Get Out, Get In, Get Over Here.  If everything goes according to the plan, we might get a shared universe with Get Ready, Get Back and Get Up.

 

 

Apparently, Jordan Peele has a few other racism/horror screenplays he wants to do.

 

I, for one, welcome the Racist Monster Cinematic Universe.

From how people were talking I expected a A Cinemascore.

Broader.. Broader.. Broader.. Unlucky Kong. Maybe the biggest Family movie of the year will be released next week.

Damn, reached a wider audience than I thought since only 56% of the share was male.  65% over 25 is not surprising though, and should indicate good legs.

Not yet, soon though. I'll save Kong for a freebie watch at home though.

Bad decision.  Watching it on the big screen is the best way to experience it.

[WrathOfHan]

Kong:

 

Mar 10: 61M (23M weekdays, 84M Total)

Mar 17: 25M (10M weekdays, 119M Total)

Mar 24: 11.2M (4.5M weekdays, 134.7M Total)

Mar 31: 5M (2.2M weekdays, 141.9M Total)

Apr 7: 2.5M (1.1M weekdays, 145.5M Total)

Apr 14: 1.2M (600k weekdays, 147.3M Total)

 

Final Total: 150M (2.46x)

 

We saw what losing IMAX did to Logan this weekend, and March 24-April 7 have 3+ releases each weekend.
