That's a 37.8% Friday bump, basically exactly in line with the 2006 Top 10 Average (35%) and also Rogue One (36%) on the same Friday.

 

Yep. But the 2006 movies increased around 15% on Thursday whereas TLJ increased 6% Thursday.

Most things at my theater are looking at solid increases from yesterday EXCEPT Downsizing and Father Figures. Their first shows only sold 8 and 7 tickets today, which is down from 25 and 10 respectively

Can't use the calendar as an excuse anymore. If the fact tons of people were still in school was to blame for the weekday numbers then there would have been more pent up demand to see it yesterday and the jump would have been much more impressive. Can we finally get real here? This is struggling to stay that far ahead of RO in dailies.

Shall we recall this when JL released in this thanksgiving? optimistic tone!

“It’s not just about the opening weekend, but it’s about the length of the run, especially given the extremely lucrative Thanksgiving holiday. We have lots of room to run,” said Warner Bros. domestic distribution boss Jeff Goldstein yesterday.

JL 0.370m, Thor3 0.293m

Nice increase. Mixed WOM confirmed. Disney will not go through with Rian Johnson's trilogy if this movie actually starts to demonstrate poor legs. But, so far, that's not the case.

Two days in a row that the first showing of Father Figures hasn't sold anything. But don't worry, WB will still somehow win the year anyway.

The goalposts keep being moved though. You would think the Friday jump would have been much higher than RO to make up for the worse drops during the week, not just equal it. When do we all start admitting the word of mouth on this is mixed?

But, but I was told yesterday that Father Figures is breaking out! 

At least you weren't told by a board member that you're often "completely full of shit." 

 

Although, biologically, I guess he was ultimately right, b/c every human being walks around with a certain amount in them:)...

I think competition is a lame excuse really.

 

Its Star Wars...

 

The only reason why the numbers are lower is frankly is the repeat business is suffering badly. 

 

 

Like I am debating on seeing this again while with RO and TFA I had my tickets already booked. 

 

This is def one of the main reasons it’s doing much less than TFA, lack of repeat business.  Sooo many people/sw fans saw TFA 3+ times in theaters, but TLJ will be maybe 2 times.  Plus it was the first SW movie in 10 years, TLJ is the third in two years.  And yes, obviously it isn’t as universally loved as the TFA and that combined with the long runtime is really hurting repeat business.

It's mixed. It's obvious now. Certainly not negative bit not nearly as glowing as many would like us to believe.

Hey that 1.6 that FF made would likely have gone to TLJ

[Napoleon]

I hope the 2nd weekend drop is higher than BVS just for future discussion weapon, but I didn't see The Last Jedi yet and have no reason to hate it, I hope it does well overall.

We are not quite to that point yet. Christmas shopping could be hurting too. The shopping excuse applies just the same to Rogue One’s second Friday as well. 

 

But I do think it has a much tougher road to these $720m and above numbers that people still believe will happen. Has to be almost 40% ahead of Rogue One remaining run to reach $720m. That is not easy considering it was 8% ahead yesterday.

Father Figures will be come the first movie to increase 1000%+ in its second day. Just you wait!

What make you to take a full 1 week to confirm that?

There are no horrible numbers for this movie. Worst case scenario it still goes over $660m. 

No doubt. But there is a loss of potential. TLJ had the potential  for 800 mil.
