What's interesting is as it climbs, Endgame is staying steady... perhaps a strong weekend for it too?

Strong enough.  But it's about to drop under 50% over at Fandango's rolling tracker for the first time in a looooong time:

Endgame ended the day at 61.5. 

It looks like we those two films will dominate this weekend. DP's gains mostly came at the expense of all other films. 

Also, what is Maharshi?
The fact that it's outselling Hustle and Poms! 

I believe it’s an Indian film. Those usually have a strong presence on MT

17 PT 5/7/19 (End of 2nd Tues)  

1	62.9%	Avengers: Endgame
2	6.3%	The Intruder
3	6.1%	Long Shot
4	6%	Detective Pikachu
5	2.7%	Uglydolls   

 

Discount Tuesday depressing presale % as always, no cause for alarm. Do wonder if we might see Hussle or Poms pop up by the end of tomorrow.

17 Pt 5/8/19 (End of 2nd Wed)  

1	61.5%	Avengers: Endgame
2	14.7%	Detective Pikachu
3	3.6%	Maharshi
4	3.3%	Longshot
5	2.7%	The Intruder   

Strangely good hood for Endgame. Pikachu at less than 1/4 Endgame is a bit less than I thought, but doesn’t seem alarming.

Maybe that "leak" yesterday reminded a bunch of people that Detective Pikachu exists. I'll probably have to pre-order a ticket myself. Showings are filling up in my area for my preferred Friday night time. Pah.

Haha, I just saw that Ryan Reynolds tweeted it himself. 

Reminds me of the Deadpool/Celine Dion music video the week before that opened. Viral marketing at it's best!

Dang even BOP is lowballing it. Oh well, Pikachu is gonna have to prove everyone wrong I guess. 

 

Pokemon always has that rep of proving people wrong.

Wasn't BOP a super reliable tracker whose word you were taking as gospel a week ago?

Indeed they did, guess Pikachu is gonna have to prove everyone wrong. And here I thought BOP was behind it, oh well.

[stealthyfrog]

56M OW isn't great. Hopefully BOP is underpredicting this time
