I think the main reason is create hype and also in some case take advantage of local holidays, it's why Bond is usually release in the UK and other markets a week or two earlier. Illumination released Pets and Sing earlier than the US as well in some markets and Disney released Zootopia a month earlier too in many places which is very rare for Disney. 

 

Ant-Man and Guardians 1 are the only Marvel films in recent years to not get early release although those were day and date. 

 

This Monday is May Day, which is a holiday over here in Socialist Europe. It's a no brainer to open a big movie this weekend and take advantage of that.

The Breakfast Club was rated R due to language.  Fucking joke.

[a2k]

Only 3 ratings are needed:

1. G and PG should be combined.

2. PG 13 and R should be combined.

3. NC 17 / Adults only

That's an increase from true Friday. Was expecting this to collapse after the Thursday previews beat Friday's gross.

 

Will beat Monsoon Weeding to become India's largest grosser in the US, unless this is some kind of "one weekend and out" release deal.

Yeah that's a fantastic hold if the numbers are right. 

[The Dark Rock]

Not sure how authentic that number is. But if true then that's great for Bahubali

[Mr Terrific]

Saw "Colossal." 

It was really good. I hope it gets some more attention. I love blockbusters as much as anyone, but stuff like this can get squeezed out.

I'm honestly shocked that something like Arrival wasn't PG.  outside of them saying "fuck" ONCE, there's nothing else bad in it.  Really, the one "fuck" rule is complete bullshit.

That gives BAHB2 a good shot to go over The Circle. Even with a 40% Sun drop it should go over 10m.

The Circle won't even be in the Top 3  

[Jonwo]

Must be the first time a Bollywood film has cracked the top three. I suspect it won't happen again for a long time. The PTA must be insane.

#FateoftheFurious shattered $1B global #boxoffice mark SAT after only 18days. Beat F7 in local currency to become #1 US film ever in China.

$30-40 tickets are rather helpful

[kayumanggi]

Now at $1.06B worldwide, top mkts for #FateoftheFurious are China at $361M and US/Can at $192.7M. Intl mkts make up huge 82% of global haul.

Hate to keep harping on this but it could have done about another 750K or maybe even a million more if it would have been released wide in Canada.  They fucked that up really badly.

Absolutely.  But they knew the audience would pay for it.  That could have backfired on them.  They analyzed the market, took the gamble and it paid off.
