Wonder Woman drops 529 venues this weekend. 

 

47 Meters Down only drops 222 venues

 

GotG2 holds onto 966 venues (down 502) which is better than I would have guessed.

Hot damn, The Beguiled and Beatriz are both in over 670 theaters  The Beguiled could be in store for a really good weekend, and it's basically locked to be in the Top 10.

The Big Sick is also expanding into 71 theaters, which is more than movies with this type of release pattern normally get. 

 

lol @ All Eyez. It's going to fall off the face of the earth.

Lol at the drop for The Mummy, ICaN and Rough Night. Good drop for WW. Someone was arguing unnecessarily with me in the WW 5th weekend over Catewoman thread how it was not gonna lose much theatres when I said it will lose more than it did the last weekend (85 theatres)

Wouldn't surprise me if The Big Sick goes to 300+ theaters next weekend and 1,000+ for its wide release the week after if the PTAs hold up. Helps that theaters have a lot of junk to get rid of and there's only three wide releases (Spider-Man: Homecoming, War for the Planet of the Apes, Wish Upon) set for those two weekends.

The Beguiled could get into a lot of midsize theaters next week due to 47 Meters quieting down and/or The House bombing spectacularly. Its gross this weekend is going to determine where it lands.

 

I expect The Big Sick to get into 2k theaters on the 14th. Lionsgate has always been committed to going wide that weekend, and it's having PTAs along the lines of Sicario.

[grim22]

Cars 3 will have the lowest number of theaters for any Pixar release over the 4th of July weekend since Up. Up released the week for Memorial Day.

there is no interest in this TF. Also, the WOM even among fans is not good. There are people who liked all of the previous movies and don't like this one. 

 

It was a weird ass movie. Like, just really all over the place with the plot. I know, all of them have been like that but this was the first one for me that it was really, really noticeable. The action towards the end made up for it somewhat but overall definitely not a movie I'll likely watch again. Oh well, went on discount Tuesday at least.

 

And the final 30-45, 50 minutes of Dark of the Moon has yet to be topped in this series when it comes to action.

So Wonder Woman needs 2,511,988 (or -9 drop) to pass BvS tonight.

No. Not really.

 

What I notice since 2013 (trend on this forum) that the more Superheroes movies are being made. The more and more FAN base on both sides (DC/Marvels) on this forum. More and More threads are open, then we get lots of flame wars between the sides and it gets nasty.

Ban all Superhero Threads, that will solve it

Not really sure where to ask this, but since Disney isn't releasing a new movie until Ragnarok (!!!), Wouldn't that help their current movies to hold more theaters? 

 

Like wouldn't Disney try to keep Cars, Pirates and Guardians longer?

That's not really up to Disney. They can do double features though.

The last time we had this calendar configuration (way back in 2006), movies stayed somewhat flat on Thursday, increased normal summer increases (55-60%) on Friday, had lower increases in the 20% range on Saturday (because of Canada taking half the day away from movies for their Independence day celebrations), Sunday was flat or increased from Saturday, Monday fell 20% and Tuesday fell 20%. With Cheap Tuesdays being a force of nature now, I expect Tuesdays to stay flat or increase from Monday.

 

Its going to be a bonanza 5-day weekend for movies which have enough of a screen count to maximize their potential.

Fwiw, I know at least Cinemark as a chain is suspending Cheap Tuesday on July 4 as it's a "Holiday". Still, you have an excellent point.
