Perhaps without the Carrie Fisher death effect the grosses would be closer to RO than TFA. It's part of the reason I think that EP9 will drop from TLJ. I don’t think it had that much of an affect to be honest. Most everyone I know who’s either already seen it or is planning on seeing never mentions that particular aspect of it. When Walker died and Fast 7 was coming out it seemed like that’s ALL anybody was talking about. I think 9 could see a slight increase. It’ll probably open lower but if J.J. can make something more akin to TFA; fun, entertaining and crowd pleasing, the WOM could carry it to a higher gross.

This one think that death did was not add awareness to the movie, that is a bit impossible. Now big fans that would go see that movie because of her death but did not saw Awaken in theater ? Is there any chance you would ever go see a Star wars movie in theater you really really probably did for Force Awaken... The Venn diagram of hyper fan of Fisher but does not go see a star wars movie in theater usually but now would because it is a last time is probably rather thin.

DAJK Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 5 tickets already sold for Father Figures on Friday at my theatre. Maybe bookers actually did know what they were doing when sending a dumb movie to a dumb town. Downsizing sold nothing lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't get the screens or have the room to run to get to that level. It is also a lot more bro'ish and still a heavy Zack Snyder production and won't draw the entire Wonder Woman crowd. Has to also compete with a whole lot of other movies for space. Thor is going to hold screens. Bad Moms will still be kicking along. Daddy's Home 2. Murder on the Orient Express. Wonder and Coco. The Star. Molly's Game. A host of limited Oscar movies expanding. It will be virtually dead in the the water by Dec. 15th when Star Wars takes over everything. Someone was right..#JusticeLeague will be losing 59% of its theaters this FRI as many new films gobble up screens for the long #Christmas wknd. New count will be 1101 dropping below #ThorRagnarok which will be in 1573 despite being an older film. Domestic totals now $220.9M and $307.6M. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 If that is True Thor 3 will likely finish around 315+ million now. Excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Disney again doing dirty work Just got off the phone with Bob Iger, he told me "Tell that forum user, mredman, that we have bought out the theaters and are forcing them to stop showing JL. We were threatened by its unstoppable BO wave and didn't want it to pass our biggest film ever, Doctor Strange. We also wanted to spite mredman."

I guess it will pass $200m dom, though. Yeah... I think Coco will have better jumps and drops than Moana have last year from now, but this is not enough to compensate the difference between them. Coco probably will finish with $ 205 - 215M, way behind Moana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Disney again doing dirty work Others possible reason, Thor 3 has now an higher per theater average, I guess that theater average is a some ways a better predictor for theater hold when movies are in the same ballpark. Audience composition (is the Thor 3 audience has an audience that will play better during Christmas holiday ? A pick more common for kids to grand parents family context) ? Different concession sales average ? And yes, WB having a new release coming up (and not one necessarily easy to achieve to get theaters time) with father figures to put in, while Disney do not is maybe the simpler actual main reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it will pass $200m dom, though. Coco is running behind Moana, but I don't think the Monday and Tuesday dailies are representative of the gap we'll see moving forward. Moana started this week with more schools on holidays - I expect the gap will shrink considerably through the rest of this week. I'm curious to see the Wednesday numbers - Moana dropped 30.5% on the Wednesday, and I suspect Coco will not drop as much. Coco's Friday increase could also be considerably higher than Moana's 13.9% jump, given that Thursday will have 39% of schools out, which jumps up to 61% on Friday, according to Deadline. Who really knows - I could be wrong - but it will be interesting to follow. In a way, the varying winter holiday schedules each year keep the box office this time of year exciting.
