5-Day Weekend Thread | Saturday #s (Asgard p.109) - Coco 17.7, Justice League 15.7, Wonder 8.3, Thor: Ragnarok 6.4, Daddy's Home 2 5.3

Gonna chime in and say my hispanic family was never in a huge rush to see movies, especially on a work night.  A lot of latinos work a lot of hours so it's more of a 'watch when you have time' thing.  Though sometimes my family would just drop me off at the theater, that doesn't usually fly as well with 10-12 year olds these days.

I'm in love with the Coco!

Very very good for Coco. So close to Moana with what felt like half the buzz. It might hold better over the 5 day.

Damn, the Latino demo straight killed my winter game.

 

Should I turn into Donald Trump?

Gimmie those 150 casino points Coco!

Nah, Battle of the Sexes had a low score at first because of trolls. I totally wouldn't be surprised if the actual audience score was only in the low-70s though; waiting a month to go wide might backfire on Focus.

I think they should have gone wide with Darkest Hour this week too or atleast early December. A lot of specialty/drama films are going wide during Christmas (Shape of Water, Disaster Artist, I Tonya, All the money in the World) then you have The Post, Molly’s Game and Phantom Thread going wide in early January. Tough market ahead. This Thanksgiving is pretty wide open with only Roman J Isreal as the new adult competition. Murder on the Orient Express should hold very well this week because of the lack of options.

So, are we in for a very good IM for coco. $80m and above for 5-day will make the w/e for me.

Wonder had 0% chances for the Oscar.

A litle less than WW 0.1%...

I can’t believe humans downscore movies they haven’t seen. I really don’t understand it. Pathetic losers. Ghostbusters is the first film that these sad people really came to focus. 

 

Why are they attacking Battle Of the Sexes? Do they just hate females? 

Pretty sure a lot of guys did the same thing for the Twilight movies.

And they’re probably still single!

The same argument was made about the Blind Side.... we ultimately can never say never (although I agree the chance is relatively small to nil)

Great start for Coco

[meriodejaneiro]

I hope it goes as close as possible as Moana's 82M ow.

[The Panda]

That's a great preview number, and I expect it to be more backloaded than Moana due to no Lin and less buzz before it.

[eXtacy]

Just went to check up when Coco was being released here. December 26th. Fuck.

[The Panda]

The big thing Coco has going for it too is there really isn't any strong direct family competition.  Just non-family movies that could also appeal to families (like Star Wars way down the line or maybe Ragnarok/JL)

Also Wonder still holding strong.

[DAJK]

Quite relieving for Coco after buzz started to look somewhat non-existent. A 70M 5-day should absolutely lock 200M.

 

Curious if the remainder of Wonder's weekdays are going to be as strong as Monday/Tuesday. Would definitely tell us how big a part school groups are playing.
