All this time I thought she was the brunette woman in Two Broke Girls but that's Kat Dennings.

In this day and age where so many comedies unnecessarily overstay their welcome and push towards the two-hour mark, that's a breath of fresh air.

Maybe, if 8-10 minutes weren't the credits.

Fifty Shades	1011	3205	31.54%
Peter Rabbit	178	1292	13.78%
15:17 to Paris	30	1131	2.65%
Black Panther	3199	3808	84.01%

 

Shades is trucking along fine, and Peter Rabbit saw a big boost, especially on Saturday. For Black Panther, every Saturday show is sold out, and so is almost all of Friday and Sunday. Monday only has one sold-out show, but I'm sure it'll get a couple more by the time the week's over.

Fifty Shades	1372	3205	42.81%
Peter Rabbit	339	1292	13.78%
15:17 to Paris	48	1131	2.65%

 

There's no good comps for Darker.

 

Peter Rabbit is 72% of Wonder sans previews ($19.3M), 63% of Coco's 3-Day ($32.1M), and 222% of Paddington 2's 3-Day sans previews ($23.6M).

 

15:17 is 192% of MBU sans previews ($23.2M), 369% of Marshall ($11.1M), 133% of The Foreigner sans previews ($16.4M), 218% of Roman Israel ($9.7M), and 76% of The Commuter's 3-Day sans previews ($9.9M)

 

Clint, you in danger girl.

Still waiting for Fox. Those are some big drops for 12 Strong and Paddington.

[narniadis]

The drops are fine considering their dailies. Overall the theater holds are good to fine, particularly with 3, 3k theater openers. 

[Mojoguy]

Pretty crazy that Jumanji is still in over 3,000 theaters in its 8th weekend!

Mark my words: SOW will be above The Post this weekend.

[WrathOfHan]

The first show of Fifty Shades here is finishing with 92/124. It looks like there were some cancellations from earlier. Looking at the rest of the night, my theater gave this waaaaaaaaay too much capacity; some of the shows are hovering in the high singles/low teens. Then again, when looking at the movies they canned shows for (The Post/SOW/3B/12 Strong/Thieves/Phantom/Tonya/Coco/My Girl), it's still a good decision  

[heynow]

what do you think weekend boxoffice will be for Peter Rabbit and 50 Shades?

[Hiccup23]

Fifty Shades Freed

424

2,376

17.8%

 

 

Theater is having too much faith in FSF. Still not a terrible number. 

 

The number is comparable to Alien: Covenant and Despicable Me 3

 

Also no previews for the other films .... LOL

[WrathOfHan]

7:30 Fifty Shades is finishing with 31/78. The 7:45 show has been stuck at six tickets for a while now.

Some sad news, Deep Wang will not provide any updates going forward as he quit his job recently. He might post here later as a farewell. Just letting everyone know that the era of actual presale numbers is over.

Will he just be known as Wang from now on?

AMC discovered that he was providing tracking info to other people.  Live footage of what happened when they found out:

"Quit his job" meaning "lying dead in a back-alley, murdered by killers-for-hire from Major Exhibitor?"
