i think logan and get out could switch their position when actual come out, 45% drop for get out on sunday is a bit pessimistic

Almost half a million for gifted is honestly much better than I thought it would do. I can't see it getting 1000+ theatre's next weekend though.

 

The plan is for Wed.  Even with F8 opening there should be lots of screens available with films like Life, PR, Chips and Whitewashed Smurfette probably dropping big.

 

Edit: That's ridiculous  Even as a child Scarlett's voice was way too deep to be a Smurf.

This shows even more how amazing the legs and dom of TDK was. 

RO failed to reach it despite December legs and similar OW. BATB will fall well short of it despite a bigger OW and leg-friendly genre.

On top of that, TDK was a freaking sequel, which further impairs legs.

Not to mention that it didn't have 3D premiums upping it's dom.

 

Yeah its legs were terrific. It did  have one massive advantage compared to contemporary movies though; it pretty much kept its IMAX screens for months. Movies today have a hard time getting more than three weeks of IMAX exclusivity.

 

I'm not surprised at BatB not outdoing it though. I think I was one of the few in the OW thread who never really believed it would. People overestimated the family appeal of BatB.

Did any "adult" movie stand up to Beauty well save Kong?

[DAJK]

 Kong passed Godzilla worldwide!

[Krissykins]

No point in Zookeepers Wife expanding any further if it dropped already.

 

Case for Christ flopped, hopefully an end to these religious movies.

 

 

Logan, Kong, Get Out...those drops and totals !

another advantage for TDK was, it simply it's a better film than RO and BATB, word of mouth was great!

It had huge family appeal which is why it will make around $490m Dom and $1.2b+ Foreign Accent Smurfette.   That's more than twice as much domestic as Maleficent.  It's almost 2 and half times as much as Cinderella and almost 50% more than Alice In Wonderland.  Being more front loaded is just part and parcel of having such an enormous opening weekend.  It did not open around Christmas or have the benefit of summer days.

I'm sure Disney will push BATB past the $500M mark if it gets close enough.

 

Yeah it will get a frozen type run if that happens.

Get out per theater average was actually higher than most of the films in top 10, they should stop cutting the number of theater for this movie

Not as hard as it sounds, Godzilla 2014 basically got zilch past its opening weekend. I'm curious to see how close Kong gets to 170 mil though.

Zookeepers  PTA only dropped 25%.  It still has some room to expand.

 

I doubt Case for Christ cost that much and cost very little to advertise.  It won't be the last and unlike 99% of the others it was very well reviewed and reportedly very even handed - though maybe that's why it didn't make as much as something like God Is Not Dead 2. 

 

Regardless, The Shack just made $55m.  They aren't going anywhere.

Every theater is different.  Some might have it on 5 screens, others just 1 or 2.  Some might be doing great PTA and others not as well.

[titanic2187]

is that any possibility that get out's total in the end is higher than the lego movie and kong ???

I dunno....some people can't get over it being #2nd on it's 4th weekend. ?

 

Funny thing is, as BatB is predicted to drop softer than BB, there is a fair chance that BatB is actually #2 on it's FIFTH weekend as well! It'll die after that though as 21st there's 5 WIDE releases.

Definitely with Kong and most likely with Lego - unless Lego Batman gets those multiple re-expansion discount theater kid legs the first LEGO had.

Great news. Even after the ow there were doubts (especially from Deadline) about reaching 500. China helped a lot but considering Kong is aiming for 570M global total, you can remove 35-40M from China and it would still match Godzilla (2014)'s total.

Kubo also did miserable overseas....

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$48,023,088	68.7%
+ Foreign:	$21,906,457	31.3%
= Worldwide:	$69,929,545

 

Every time I read someone saying just make a good movie and people will come (will pointing success of Get Out, Hidden Figures and others success) I often think about Kudo, being a giant really good movie is not necessarily enough, even if it is the movie that bought the most tv spot around it's release.

 

Clear target audience is often needed, Kubo and The BFG kind of missed that a little bit and on a lesser extend Allied and the new Ghostbuster specially on intl markets.

 

When people say that the movie X would have been a big success regardless of one element that could have been removed because it was good (Say Bullock&Clooney from Gravity), don't be so sure.
