There's Singalong? 

 

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

 

Yes. Theaters are having special singalong showings where they have the words on the screen and the audience sings a long. They did this for other films too.

Yes and if I was a betting man it gets a dollar theater boost with either Pirates or Cars 3

[narniadis]

Looks like a normal Wednesday. Nice to know we will still have a film over 2m daily nearly all winter / spring. Much better than some years.

Nice! Dollar theaters really extend legs. I still remember how much Ant Man made off those. 

[JB33]

Good number for BatB. It'll be at around $407M domestic going into the weekend and should come out of it at just over $430M.

 

I hope it shows stellar holds next week Monday to Thursday because after that it will be all about F8.

Depending on Friday, there is actually an outside chance that Kong can outgross Power Rangers this weekend. If it ends within 250-300k of PR on Friday, I think it will overtake it over the weekend. Kong has consistently shown higher Saturday bumps and plays well to Sunday matinees as well.

BatB will (continue to) fall, but does it really share the same audience as F8?

That would be great for KONG. I really want to see those movies succeed. So far they have. Both will have made over $500M worldwide.

Nah,I think PR stays in front of it. The movie that I see making a big drop is GITS. Even if it's second weekend.

PR only crossed 100M WW. Going much beyond 200M will need China to break out for it. Domestic is looking like a 85-95M finish depending on next weekends hold.

Obviously both movies have different audiences but BatB has a 4-quadrant audience. Families and children will continue to see BatB, yes, but a chunk of that 4 quadrant audience - The young adults - will break away and see F8.

 

Maybe I'm overstating that, aka the young adults saw it once and were done so they haven't been contributing a lot since opening week anyway, but I still think that's how F8 is going to slow down BatB somewhat. 

 

To be clear, I'm talking marginally slow down. As in, make a bit of a dent in BatB's amazing holds so far. I don't expect F8 to kill it or anything. No way.

Sorry, I wasn't really clear with my post at all.

 

When I said I wanted these movies to succeed, I was referring to the Kong/Godzilla monster movies. GODZILLA earned $500+ worldwide and KONG will as well.

Right now, I have PR probably only reaching 87M domesticly. As for OS. It might not even reach 100M. That's how bad it's doing OS right now.

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

It will easily go past 550 thanks to China and even Japan.

165 Dom + 165 China + 25 Japan + ~220 OS-China-Japan = ~565 WW

[Truckasaurus]

Kong at over $150M domestic and $500M worldwide

It will not hit 100M OS without China, pretty much acting like another US TV Series to movie Star Trek: Beyond @MrPink

Yeah, I think Godzilla vs Kong will do 800M+ WW, might be able to get to 1B depending on competition in 2020.

Being released in China May 12,but don't think it will reach 100M OS even with China at this point.

[drdungbeetle]

No one is really worried about Godzilla/Kong/Monsterverse stuff at this point. At least until they dump 200 mil into a Jet Jaguar movie, put Mahky Mahk into the robot suit, and get met with cries of cultural appropriation.
