Solo more or less holding pace with IW, but slowly losing ground compared to BP and Deadpool.

Tonight at my AMC:

 

Breaking In: 13/78

 

Life of the Party:

7:00: 3/78

8:00 2/78

 

The new theater hasn't sold anything for either movie.

Maybe I am wrong but unless a film is a decent size opener, there are never Thursday previews for openers here? Maybe at the main theatres?

Hmmm...I almost always have Thursday previews, especially at Courtney Park, Winston Churchill and even the Brampton Silver City.

That's weird.  I know that for whatever reason, films that are predominately aimed at a black audience, do not get previews.  I'm not sure why the other films this weekend wouldn't have previews.

Courtney Park has life of the party:

See, it's just the black audience movies.  I don't know why Brampton and the GTA don't have those previews.

That’s because IW started abnormally strong with pre sales so it was impossible to keep up that pace , which would indicate a ...400 million ow . Solo is facing the same thing, very strong start but starting to slow down (obviously at much lower levels than IW but basically same situation.) and loosing ground to BP and Deadpool .

Breaking In has...well, broken out in my theater. Right now, it's ~150 tickets behind Proud Mary and ~270 tickets behind Acrimony, and it still has two days to go. Life of the Party is slightly behind Blockers at the moment, and it will probably pass that and match Game Night.

 

Solo doubled over the past four days, Deadpool got 70 extra tickets, both seem to be doing good, blah blah blah

Breaking In	428	1050	32.00%
Life of the Party	156	1535	10.16%

 

Well, Life of the Party certainly didn't match Game Night, but greatly exceeded it. Don't know how it got such a big boost, but I guess McCarthy still has great draw power, at least when it comes to pre-sales.

 

Breaking In Comps:

120% of Proud Mary ($12M)

90% of Acrimony ($15.5M)

 

Life of the Party Comps:

59% of Bad Moms 2's 3-Day ($9.9M)

63% of Daddy's Home 2 ($18.6M)

93% of Pitch Perfect 3 ($18.6M)

120% of Super Troopers 2 ($18.2M)

 

The Acrimony and DH2/PP3 comps seem like the best ones

Miracle Season DESTROYING records 

 

absolutley LEGENDARY weekend and PTA incoming. @CJohn prepare for the most epic TC drop in history it’s going to be incredible

[DAJK]

Reminds me of the time BOM accidentally reported Age of Adeline’s 6th weekend or something to be like 15M or something (can’t remember the exact #) but I remember when Collider’s box office segment of the show ran with it and reported it like they were all astonished at its increase

If AWIT can pull off a PTA of $2,200 this weekend, it will cross $100M. That's a pretty big batch of fudge for Disney to make; yet we all know Hollywood accountants are the best ones in the world.

[MovieMan89]

Black Panther is going to launch on home video while still in over 1400 theaters. Sorry, but that's a big fuck up on Disney's part. Home video release should have been pushed back. 

[LeoC]

Can DP2 open higher than GOTG2?
