If 7.6M holds, a lowball weekend will be

 

7.6

10.6 (40% increase)

7.4M (30% decrease)

 

25.6M

 

Thats downright ridiculous and would make 400M a good possibility 

 

Using grim's projection for the weekend, Wonder Woman will jump over Iron Man and Iron Man 2 to become the 15th highest grossing comic book film by the end of Sunday. It will also hit a 3.0 multiplier by the end of tomorrow (Saturday) and join the 3+ multiplier club. A terrific performance at the box office, no doubt about it.

 

Highest Grossing Comic Book Films

1. Marvel’s The Avengers (2012) — 623.4 million
2. The Dark Knight (2008) — 534.9 million

I'm just so fucking sick of hearing about how great WW is doing, how stunning Gal is, etc. It's basically become an echo chamber where any shred of difference in box office projection is met with disdain. 

 

So it's a crazy run but we aren't supposed to discuss it?   Gal Gadot is stunning but we should pretend she's a gargoyle. anything else?

Eh, your stanning is at least fun. So much of the Gal stanning is just "OMG SHE'S SO AMAZING/STUNNING/INSPIRING/ETC", and it just gets old really fast to me.

 

One man's fun is another mans "oh my god enough aabattery we've had it with your fucking Taika gifs"

 

Same thing with the Gal Gadot stuff I guess.

[WrathOfHan]

Oh, and Fargo's finale was shit, BCS is done for the season, The Leftovers is over, and I'm entering a boring stretch of Twin Peaks episodes I have to sludge through for FWWM and The Return. Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

Wonder Woman's legs aren't just great legs for a comic book movie, but they're unreal legs in general.  Even large opening animated films don't easily pull WW like legs.

In fact there are no 80m+ animated Friday openers that have hit a 4x multi. 

[Blankments]

also as a newb when it comes to tracking big Weds runs really, how big an increase on Sat for TF5 should we expect?

[nomyth]

WW's run is just giving me life this summer! Looking at a potential 35% drop coming off an inflated weekend?

 

I didnt want to say it before but I really think 400 is happening. It's gonna be at 350+ by the time SM opens. Could be above 360 if it's weekdays are strong enough. I can't see any film after SM having all that much of an effect. I think it can definitely late leg another 40M.

Okay, but consider that for others it's not. They find her (and it) inspiring. So let them be happy and inspired, and find your own happiness and inspiration with other movies.

Over Catwoman OW ($16M).

 

Next weekend is a 5 day. I think it will match or exceed the 3 day over 5 days.

My numbers mixed in with RTH update

Had Shrek 2 opened on Friday and not Thursday it would have, but even then that movies was also a freak of nature.

And this is the hard part. It Comes at Night and Captain Underpants are the two movies this month I liked, yet nobody is talking about them because the former imploded and the latter isn't grossing anything impressive! GOTG has kind of faded off discussion wise, and I've been getting shit with Alien since OW.

do you want to discuss the brilliance of LEGO Movie (2014) with me, because I'm always down to discuss that

[AniNate]

I've steered away from much of the WW discussion but honestly so far this summer it is pretty much the only thing worth celebrating so I'm not real annoyed by it being overdone.

I doubt Shrek 2 would've had a 4x multi opening on a Friday since it barely has one with its OW after a Wednesday opening. You could add at least another 5-10m to the OW if it opened on Friday, and then it misses 4x. 

 

Not  that I even think WW will pull a 4x mind you, it needs 413 for that. I would have to think that 405 or so would be the absolute ceiling, but who the hell knows at this point.
