But for the moment, Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast earned another $3 million on Wednesday to bring its 20-day domestic total up to $404.1m. That means it will pass The Hunger Games ($408m in 2D back in 2012) today or tomorrow to become the biggest March domestic grosser of all time, although Zootopia ($1.02 billion) and Alice in Wonderland ($1.025b) are still above it on the worldwide scale. By the by, it made $7.8m overseas to cross the $500m mark in foreign grosses alone, giving it a $910.8m worldwide total.

 

Peace,

Mike

34.3% drop after 44% Tue bump is a good hold.

Dropped more than 30% on Wednesday. This means  failure to be able to hold audiences. Legs are collapsing. 500M might not happen. The Disney monster is crashing.

This is the biggest drop ever.

I'm sure stevejaros will be a long shortly to tell us how bad of a drop this is.

Ha already says that BatB will top out at 460M. Tuesday thread. 

[redfirebird2008]

Going to be around $10m behind TDK after Sunday unless it has some incredible jumps during the weekend.

 

THUR - $3m

FRI - $6.35m (+117%)

SAT - $10.48m (+65%)

SUN - $7.86m (-25%)

 

The above projection puts BATB at $431.79m after Sunday. TDK was at $441.63m after its 4th weekend. If you look at the daily percentages in the previous two weekends for BATB, the projections above might be too optimistic. I think it will have a tough time going above $520m at the rate it's going. $515m or so seems more likely and that is an awesome number regardless of anything else.

[a2k]

BATB should do 24-25 this weekend for 431-432 cume. 490 seems like a safe bet. It will need to show a couple of sub-40% drops soon for 500+.

There's Singalong? 

 

Also, any hope Disney put it in dollar theaters later to extend its legs?

Lol SteveJaros says this is getting 460 mil? Easily over 490 at this rate.

[a2k]

Kong gets to 150. Should cross 155 this weekend and go above 165 eventually. Looking at a similar amount in China.

One of my all time favourite films, GRINDHOUSE, was released 10 years ago today.

 

God that seems like yesterday.

TDK cured cancer and made the sick walk that day by laying hands on them.

Remember when people thought Kong wouldn't get 500 mil worldwide? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
