Bahubali 2 is in local theatres in the  Hindi, Malayalam and Telugu versions plus also Tamil in Sydney. I'm pretty I've only ever seen the Hindi version released here.

The Indians are taking over!!!

I enjoyed the hell out of Jennifer Lawrence's performance in American Hustle, even if it was plainly obvious that she was far too young for the role.

Source tells me full FRI gross for both #Fast8 & #Baahubali2 heading to $4-5M range each. #F8 ahead, but also in 4000+ thtrs.

Baahubali 2 and How to Be a Latin Lover (which is looking at a $7K PTA) are obviously the winners of the weekend. Big win of a weekend for minority audiences.

[Biggestgeekever]

Sub $5M would be a pretty awful hold for Fate.

[Webslinger]

Damn. That Baahubali 2 performance is insane, even if Fate of the Furious will still cruise to an easy weekend win behind a strong multiplier.

Looking at another 50%+ drop this weekend despite no real competition (and will certainly have another coming next weekend). It's likely gonna finish with less than the adjusted gross of the original 2001 movie ($220M) at this point.

That was a tough role to pull off, lots of mood swings within one scene. She was great. I didn't like the movie at all, though.

It feels weird GOTG2 isn't opening Domestic this weekend.   

 

It feels like it's the 2nd weekend here already.

Fox wanted Jen too. The movie was greenlit because of Jen.  In those circumstances it is hard to say someone else should have gotten the role. And Russel altered the script so Joy never went to college, whereas the real Joy did and didn't get married etc until after that. It wasn't strictly following Joy's story, including on her age. Regardless, I was just reacting to your consistent use of Jen as your sole example.  It is obvious to anyone that the disparity you are talking about exists.  And every veteran big name actress I know of except Meryl Streep benefited when they were younger (a short window) and suffered from it ever after.  Maybe Helen Mirren.

 

Can I add Maggie Smith and Judi Dench on that list? I have no idea that Maggie Smith was nominated for the Oscars in the 60s and 70s. All I know is that she's Professor McGonagall.

 

Judi Dench should also be included. She's TV actress in the 70s before she became a star in the Bond movies.

That would be a solid turn-around for Fate of the Furious after the sub-$5 million projections from earlier.

...and that's what I get for not actually following the link.

BAHB2 extremely frontloaded as expected but still a stellar performance with just 450 theater count.

I think it's Fri estimates will be 4-4.5 and F8's will be 5.5-6.

 

F8 could have a sub 50% drop which would be a good hold. Looking at 19-21. That put's in on track for 230 or a bit higher.

I am thinking about 232 which will be 2.35x multiplier. Even though the multiplier for the franchise has been steady it has reduced a bit which is expected.

F6 was 2.45x, F7 was 2.40x and F8 will be closer to 2.35x. But with previews starting progressively sooner, this trend and consistency in legs is pretty great.

The Circle needed dat Eva Green effect.

I get why studios regard the weekend before summer as a veritable dumping ground - do you really want to gamble wrong and open a week before a Spider-Man/Avengers/etc. that devours every single demographic? - but it still sucks that there's such a lull in the last weekend in April unless the top opener in the first May weekend isn't a sure thing (see: 2011, when Fast Five bowed ahead of Thor and ended up beating it handily in opening and final grosses).
