4-day Weekend Thread: 5-day numbers per BOM - TLJ 99.0M, J:WTTJ 55.4M, PP3 26.4M, TGS 14.4M, F 10.1M, C 8.2M, D 7.7M and an incredible $5,480,000 for Father Figures

Looks like Jumanji will be the first non Spider-Man movie from Sony since Spectre to hit $200M domestic. They really needed that hit. Sony now has potentially another successful franchise to go with Spider-Man and Hotel Translyvania.

Jumanji 3 or whatever will crater.

 

I think this was a mix between the perfect casting and interesting spin that got people to see it.

That downsizing number is awful. 

The premise always seemed weird and a tough sell, and the reviews didn't help one bit either. Just goes to show if you're an adult-targeted film opening at a time of year when a bunch of Oscar contenders are opening and don't have much to offer, you're screwed.

@a2knet, you seem to be on top on sequel drops and raises. Do you have a list for this year?

oh yeah I've seen every Verbinski film now!  ranking time!

 

1. Curse of the Black Pearl
2. A Cure for Wellness
3. The Ring
4. The Lone Ranger
5. Rango
6. The Weather Man
7. Dead Man's Chest
8. The Mexican
9. At World's End
10. Mousehunt

1-6 are Jesus-worthy.  7 is very good.  8-9 is decent.  10 is meh.

Rango is not first. I do not comprehend.

[redfirebird2008]

So maybe 75-76 for 3-day. Great number.

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

 

Come on. No 1 would dream of calling it a flop and if anyone really does then they are kind of being moronic. It's just the expectations after opening up to only 10% less than the force awakens. It is not even close to a flop at all.

[Goffe]

am i the only one who thinks downsizing number isn’t that bad. i thought it would do like half suburbicon did.

[filmlover]

Also: look at how well Darkest Hour is doing. Old people, their power lol.

 

The Shape of Water did alright in its wide expansion. Will probably land between $30-40M in the end unless it ends up picking up a ton of traction at the awards shows.

Suburbicon didn't even open to $3M, it's virtually impossible to go much lower than that.

Looks like it'll come in above Rth's revised estimate with that more recent Deadline number.

Maybe this is why I'm not very good at this, but how is 25.5 bad? It looks solid to me.

It's not. It's just below the initial estimate. The latest estimate has it at 27.1m, though...

For now I’m going in between them with 26.5 since RTH’s post was pretty late in the evening (1 AM Central).

Well, that seems good too.

[IronJimbo]

Obviously this film is doing well in terms of all films.

 

Its about expectations though.

 

When someone calls a football player bad they don't need to preface that with. "In respect to other professional football players in his league and at the highest played...". Thats just silly as it's obvious to everyone what they meant. Well almost everyone, you have those who say "he's better than you though!".. well thats completely missing the point you DINGO.

 

The Last Jedi only had a limited range it was going to drop into, something like 1.1b to 1.8b ww. Now if we limit our vocabulary to the words incredible, amazing, great.. how are we going to differientate between 1.1b and 1.8b.

 

It's about expectations!

There are no bad numbers in this situation.

I really hope you show this kind of common sense when Avatar 2 may do anything between 1,5B - 3B worldwide

If numbers hold, 700+ is back on track.
