That's certainly a better number for TLJ than Rth had, though I'm not sure it'll hit the 35% Sat increase necessary to match their weekend projection.

They talked about that at the top of the update.

 

I'd quote it here, but it basically boils down to: 

 

Trying to project this Xmas weekend? Here's our real answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Porthos]

Since this is All About Me, loving that 6 day projection for Jumanji and I hope it holds.  I kinda thought I was crazy going for a 60m+ six day over at the Casino.  Might have been Crazy Like a Fox.

That’s quite a difference between Rth and Deadline numbers for TLJ. 

 

All the other numbers show up/down trends compare to late afternoon Deadline estimates, except for Downsizing, locking down that 2.3M figure throughout the whole day. Talk about consistency and staying power. Impressive.

I wish they'd gone down. Because downsizing. 

 

Thank you I'm here all week.

The two writers at forbes... seem to be at odds with each other. 

 

And as expected, Scott Mendelson is totally sounding like a bias fanboy..

Considering how much Mendelson revels in being the contrarian and how disappointed he was in The Force Awakens, why would HIS reaction be "as expected"?

[Rman823]

I’m torn on whether to see Downisizing this weekend or not. The Payne fan in me wants to give it a chance but the reviews are making me feel like I’d have a better time at Jumanji or a 3rd TLJ screening.

New estimates from Deadline:

 

Looks like about six minutes ago. 

 

 

Those would definitely be better, so lets hope those come true.

Huh..? The other guy sounds like a complete moron. Because he is. Scott is no fanboy, he gave TFA one of its only negative reviews and is perpetually annoying to any SW fans. We always joked about that guy on the forums.

This holiday pattern is just so odd.

Yeesh at that Star Wars drop, not good (RTH numbers)

 

Could become the biggest second weekend drop for a #1 film in the whole of 2017. (Aside from Alien Covenant), 

 

Great for Jumanji. Good increase for Pitch Perfect, but looks like half of the last film. 

Christmas Eve...

Got called an idiot for suggesting sub 700m.

Doesn’t make you an idiot, but also isn’t happening.

It will be close I reckon.

It’s second weekend drop will still be it’s second weekend drop.

Sure, context though...

[baumer]

That downsizing number is awful. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Eek. Poor estimate drop from TLJ. Still a good number, but... it may be only barely enough for a 100M 2nd weekend. Shame. (Which is INSANE that any movie can pull 100M in its 2nd weekend, but it's a massive, massive drop from a 220M opening.)

 

Very impressive for Jumanji, however. Good for The Rock that he's making up for the Baywatch disaster earlier in the year.

Its really funny how perspective works - even if TLJ only makes 100M over the 4-day-weekend, its cume would still stand at 396M. Only 18M less than the cultural phenomenon that was Wonder Woman.

 

And people here would call it a flop
