Inhumans apparently made 1.2M 3-day, it made 500k on Friday so it's somewhat frontloaded 

 

 

[John Marston]

this weekend is like a Christmas or Thanksgiving weekend with these holds. Even Dark Tower had a good hold.

$699

$150,846,869

 

153-154 dom will give Cars3 2.85-2.87x multiplier. Close to Cars2's 2.89x.

 

On one hand it had better wom. On the other hand it had Thu previews front-loading the ow, FD Sunday inflating the ow (15% Sun drop vs 27% for Cars2) and the normal sequelitis. So wasn't expecting anything more than 2.8-3x especially as DM3 was around the corner.

Close Encounter's ow is twice as big as T2's 10-day cume. What explains this? It did get a bigger release, but it's PTA of $1,998 is also bigger than T2's OW PTA from fewer theaters:

I have to say I'm really impressed with Wonder Woman's total and legs. It's also impressive that it's in the top 5 CBMs while having the possibility of a 4x multiplier. This is in a way the SM1 of the 2010s for CBMS. No CBM will ever pull those types of legs (baring Panther manages to recreate the same feeling). I think WW2 is doing $1B+.

it has the best legs of any superhero movies from the 2000s 

[WrathOfHan]

Predictions for next weekend:

 

It: 75M

Home Again: 7M

The Hitman's Bodyguard: 5M

Wind River: 3.5M

Annabelle Creation: 3.3M

Leap!: 2.7M

Logan Lucky: 2.4M

Dunkirk: 2.3M

Spider-Man Homecoming: 2M

Girls Trip: 1.2M

 

That disparity from 1 to 2

Close Encounters released mainly in PLF screens whereas T2 was in normal screens. The PLFs have a ticket price about 3$ more than normal screens, could account for some of the difference. Also, Sony distributing versus a no name distributor and a holiday weekend as opposed to the Hurricane and May-Mac double whammy last weekend.

Home Again feels like another Logan Lucky waiting to happen. Obviously none of us are the target demo, but it feels destined to get overshadowed.

The way a mid-December release plays out, AQM could manage close to 4x if it's a good movie, though it would not be as impressive as WONDR's 4x due to the release period.

 

If AQM does 4x, just as an example a typical mid-December scenario is a 65-70 ow (leading to unnecessary meltdowns) and a 260-280 dom.

So surprise surprise, The Hitman's Bodyguard didn't join the under $10 million club this weekend... yet. But holdovers are having some nice small drops and great increases. Overall Shitty weekend but great holds.

[Maxmoser3]

And damn,'those Saturday numbers though 

[Amadeus]

DM3 will hit 1b next weekend. Thats good.

[That One Girl]

I won free passes to Home Again this Wednesday but I can't go cause my mom's gonna be at work when it happens

[Sterling]

So this weekend ended up outgrossing last weekend after all. I don't think anyone would have predicted that.

Just when you thought the DCEU was dead, they come and slay the third Avengers movie with a solo female $150 million dollar movie, starring a model.

 

Looks like WW will hit 4X after all ...WB will make sure of that at this rate.
