Wondy @ $2.286m Total $399.423m

[redfirebird2008]

Actuals are in for Dunkirk. Sunday down 31.5% instead of 27%. Weekend overall is $17.135m instead of $17.6m. Still a very good number at 35.6% drop from last weekend. 

 

Wonder Woman's Sunday went from 25% to 33.6%, but still a very good weekend drop of only 31.6%.

WB still have not learned their lesson about these Sunday drops. They should consider estimating in the 30% range until proven otherwise. However, the numbers for Dunkirk and WW are still very good.

I think they should go with 35-40%. 

[Ms Lady Hawk]

This was the last crucial weekend for WW in the race to surpass Spidey 1 for the Origins crown. Although, WW could very well lose theaters and collapse like Spidey, nothing in its history has shown that.

Or I just need to see Dunkirk every day to ensure good numbers. The Saturday number was no coincidence. Nor Tuesday

F*ck America is slacking...We need to get Regal/AMC/IMAX to build one bigger...

 

Make America Great Again!

I was hoping Mall of America with their expansion would make largest IMAX screen but nope just making remodeling the old theater. They could have called it The IMAX of America.

This was the 4th best weekend drop for Wonder Woman. 4 out of it's 5 best weekends have been the 4 most recent weekends.

Very true! As schools begin to start back up, weekend drops should be much softer. The weekdays, on the other hand, should experience slightly harsher drops than normal, though.

Adding 3x the 10th weekend gross won't be a big deal for Wonder Woman.

At this stage even with above average holds (40%+ drops & dollar bump) it will add 3*2.29 more to it's run for 399.43 + 6.87 = 406.3 dom, without any re-release/expansion.

Spidey is only 4.1 away. That is a done deal.

Yeah, sure! Spider- man grossed about 2.2 million on the weekend that it grossed 400 million- Week 10. It then proceeded to drop 59% and 54% in its next two weekends. Those drops were partially due to its diminished theater counts. However, it should be noted that its 10th weekend was also the weekend following July 4th. I do not want to jinx WW, but it would seem unlikely that she would drop so substantially. That was the point I was making. Just from an observer's standpoint, it seems the studio was content with the 400 mark for Spidey and decided to allocate its theaters to other movies. Of course, there's no way I could or would know that for certain.

409,013,994 is a goal for it to get past Iron Man 3 to #5 all time for comic book films behind the two Avengers & two Dark Knights.

 

... even though that # might only hold up until Justice League ... or for sure until Infinity War next May.

it won't matter though; after passing SM1, WW would be the #1 none-sequel DOM grosser, which imo is not likely to be replaced anytime soon. 

if it actually gets over IM3, it'll be the #1 solo movie only behind the two TDKs, an amazing feat.

That's what I thought you meant. I did notice on Box Office Mojo that Spider-Man lost a huge amount of theaters after its tenth weekend. I'm curious to know if there was significant competition after that weekend which caused most of the theaters to remove it to make room for newer and more for those competitive titles. There is a possibility that it may crash due to the same reason, but hopefully it doesnt. Thankfully, since school is starting back up, the weekend drops should be lower than normal; however, that means that weekday drops wont look as pretty. But the weekly totals should balance out.
