So...they're sharing between Star Wars, The Commuter, and Jumanji?  WTF?

It happened last year with Cars 3/The Mummy/WW

135M for BP!

 

WAKANDA FOREVA!!!

I could see Black Panther pushing $150M+ for the 4-day tbh. It has a lot in its favor, especially being the first major event film of the year.

[WrathOfHan]

Pulse:

 

1. Black Panther

2. Insidious

3. Jumanji

4. Black Panther IMAX

5. Showman

 

5 minutes of watching:

 

10 Fifty Shades

3 The Post

3 Paddington

2 Commuter

1 Proud Mary

Ive kinda expected Black Panther to be a Deadpool-type Breakout domestically. These are good starting signs for that.

[Porthos]

Have to say from a purely tracking standpoint, I'm getting a little tired of these 'Opening Night Fan Event' things.  But I suppose they're here to stay.

 

Thanks bunches, BatB.

Looks like I won't be seeing The Post this weekend  

 

But The Commuter and Paddington are a go so... cool I guess?

[TwoMisfits]

Morning MT.com...I know foreign films do well on this site, and it's a dead market, but Prince in Exile is performing better than I've seen a foreign film do in quite a while (I know this is beating a dead horse, but normally Pulse doesn't really help us see this, so I wanted to highlight it on MT.com...normally these films only make it to #4 or #5 their release Tuesday)...

30.1% Agnathavasi - Prince in Exile

10.3% Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

8.1% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

6.9% Insidious: The Last Key
