Matrix has won several of our box office games.

 

When you are new to a site, try to be respectful of those who know what they speak of.  

 

58 posts But of course I understand your point and I hope that matrix is aware that i was joking. But it doesn't change the fact that some of his numbers are far far away from reality, which already wad proved by RTH.

Even taking the best of both worlds - weekend of 43 using MJ2 and legs of 1.73x using FB - you get about 248+ dom (174 + 43*1.73).

175 + 44*1.75 = 252 imo is the ceiling.

Same DOM/O.S Ratio gives it 756milww .

500mil o.s is somewhere many did think the film would be.

i don't get that logic. we already have an idea of os numbers. so to use some other movie's dom/os ratio doesn't make sense. i get it when we use a rough dom/os ratio before the numbers come out.

Following Dr. Strange will give Thor Ragnarok 17.9M 3-day (-17.4%)/25.4M 5-day and 278.6M total through Sunday.

 

To add to this, DS had 1.96x legs from this weekend on. With the same legs Thor gets to 313.6 assuming it has the above calculated weekend and domestical totals. 

 

Safe to say 300m Dom is locked at this point.

Why are you using MJ2's OS/Dom split? We know JL's OS/Dom split so far which is 65/35 which is very close to that of BvS. 

 

Assuming a Dom total of 250 and using that split gives an OS total of 465 and WW total of 715. This OS is far more likely at this point than 500 given JL's drop till wednesday so far in OS markets.

yeah, and 240 dom with that split gives 685+ ww and 245 dom gives 700+ ww.

Nice hold for JL; the alternating good/bad days are really interesting. Implies that it might not be hitting the families-and-kids demographic as much as touted by the more optimistic of us (been lurking around, and have seen "fun" and "kids will love it" being tossed around here and there)... The breakout of Coco and Wonder (the former especially) plays a big factor of course, but it's still interesting.

[Krissykins]

Good for Coco and Justice League.

 

I wouldn’t describe the Wonder drop as good. It’ll have a great 5 day obviously but it looks like Coco had a slight impact.

Following Moana weekend trajectory will give Coco 50.8M 3-day/72.94M 5-day

 

Following Dr. Strange will give Thor Ragnarok 17.9M 3-day (-17.4%)/25.4M 5-day and 278.6M total through Sunday.

 

I can see both movies going higher since Coco’s Thu drop is already better than Moana, and Thor increases/drops have been a few points better than Strange most days so far this week. 

Great hold for Thor, should finish with 310M+. Coco is the wildcard, I can easily see a run for 300M. It's the perfect family movie for the holidays.

Any thursday numbers for DH2 and MOTOE?

It's not going to get a 1:2 ratio.

 

The quoted OW number for overseas is 185m, but that includes 27m from Wednesday and Thursday and 50.5m from China, so the true weekend numbers are 50.5m for China and 107.5m for overseas - China.

 

China looks set to do x2, so say 101m

 

The only other overseas territory yet to open is Japan, which could be good for 5-10m. Lets say 8m.

 

If we assume the other overseas territories are going to do a 2.7 multiplier (and remember that they will not get any Thanksgiving bump), that's 317, for a a total of 426.

 

If you think that legs are going to be better than 2.7, for every 0.1 you add the overseas gross increases by 11m. In order to hit the 756m you suggest, the overseas multiplier has to be in excess of 3.9, which is unfeasible.

Damn, good for Coco but I was off on predicting it would surpass Moana on Thursday.  Double or nothing for the 3-day.  Watching fluctuation of MT %s has actually been a pretty solid gauge overall of how the numbers move relative to each other.  Based on those MOTOE likely had a strong Thursday.  Maybe around flat from Wednesday or even.up a little.

^^so I am bumping Wonder down to 350 Fri/Sat, and Coco and JL and Thor all stay the same.  I will be updating 3 Billboards Fri/Sat to be +75% over Wednesday.  This will bring it up a few 100k and will be the number showing in this upcoming report. 

 

First, Justice League is still eyeballing 500 admissions Friday.  525 looks safe for Coco.  I am guessing with Wonder at 350.  Last Saturday was 371.  I worked with two sets of theater counts.  BOM did a good job with having all of them available and making it convenient.   Also, I dropped Bad Moms down to 46 on Thursday.  That will be incorporated into this upcoming report.    - Sorry for the lag*!

Solid drops for the top movies. 

 

I wasnt that interested in seeing Coco but after hearing some of the rave reviews I’m thinking of going this weekend. 

 

It's good but not crazy-good as the tomatometer and some of the rapturous accounts here might have you think. The 'frozen' short, a good 20 minutes long, is pretty much a dud. And then CoCo does get off to a slow start. First 10-15 mins are messy and IMO boring. It then kicks in and is a delightful animated movie. But those who put it in the same class as the Toy Story movies or Wall-E or the Incredibles are just quite a bit off, IMO.

I don't want to bite too much, but even if JL won the 5 day, would that really save it from being an underperformer?

 

At this point, no. But "underperforming" compared to what? Media expectations? WB brass hopes and dreams? Just because a film underperforms relative to some expectations doesn't meant that objectively, it wasn't a profitable movie. 

[AniNate]

Coco's success and WOM is really renewing my faith in the GA to appreciate animated movies that are driven more by plot than comedy. My cousin remarked on how he loved it despite it not being a particularly funny movie.

My predictions are terrible.  I do good when using a 'microscope' for day to day predictions.  Maybe one feels good how the day to days look and you can work out a 21 day run or something.  I don't know.  As soon as i take away that microscope my predictions suck.  I do not let my experience work towards bettering my forecasts.  Instead, I rely on bias to always favor towards the most interesting box office outcome.  Therefore I am usually 75% at best when predicting at the beginning of a season.  Even plenty of 0% for individual predictions too!  But yeah, Bad Moms 2 is difficult.  It has like plus or minus 50% going for it.  I plotted BM2 increasing on Thursday so the results would look fun.  In a way, I rigged my system against what should have been a more fair assessment.  I put BM2 at an increase, consciously knowing it would look different from the others.    If it follows Almost Christmas, it will exceed the 150% Friday jump I already have going for it.  I guess the easiest number for BM2 Thursday would be equaling the Wednesday number.  That number sucked anyways.  Daddy's Home 2 faces a similar situation.  plus or minus 50 %potential.  Staying equal to Wednesday is safest (and probably most probable) solution.  Movies like Murder on the Orient Express often increase on Thursday, so keeping it equal to Wednesday is good enough.  Basically, the Thursday numbers on my chart can be ignored for now when looking at the Weekend #'s.  When analyzing those numbers, it is best to draw comparisons from Monday and Wednesday, and also writing out a sheet from the week prior when JL opened.  Then you can compare the 3-day weekend from an admissions POV from last weekend. The Tuesday # is useless because I already fucked it up throwing in my discount multiplier.

*I will be editing my last Weekend Forecast right now to show the ratio of the PTA fro last weelk's PTA.  For Wonder and JL, I will remove the Thursday previews for those films and only use the Fri=Sat+SUN PTA ratio.

Good hold for Thor3. It's at least looking at 17m 3-day (down 21.7% from last weekend).
