The illusion of variety maybe.

Would you assume Thor, GotG, Ant-Man, Captain America, and Dr. Strange were the same storyline if no one told you they were?

Shit. Now I wanna see Jumanji.

It releases in Brazil the same day as Coco, which one should I see?

I just watched Jumanji, also watched Coco.

 

Both are great. Jumanji is really surprisingly good and entertaining.

 

Coco is a little bit overhyped by people on these boards hence I was actually pretty disappointed. It is definitely well above average, but not an instant classic imo.

[Cmasterclay]

Lady Bird and Three Billboards burned out really quickly. Darkest Hour and Shape of Water seem to be holding up much better in expansion (granted, better release dates). They should get re-releases and leg out towards around 40 with Oscar noms. Lady Bird in particular is impressive, A24's biggest hit.

how is the international hold in comparison? 700 os-china possible?

 

OMG, look at SW8 beating the other blockbusters this year. Smacking at them like bugs.

 

Guardians 2 & Wonder Woman are next. Then Beauty and the Beast. (Well, Belle.....your movie’s #1 DOM of 2017, was fun while it lasted)

[Sam]

Brutal drops for most of holdovers. Hoping to see good recovery next week. 

[filmlover]

Great weekend for specialty fare. Darkest Hour (especially) and The Shape of Water did really well in wide expansion, Call Me by Your Name also did great going over 100 theaters, The Post got off to a great start (most of the marketing focus has been on its wide release January 12) and I Tonya is still doing well.

40% is best case scenario. Disney’s 50% projection is very reasonable. Some movies dropped 55-60% in 2006. 

I agree. although RO only dropped 34-35%, so is it following more of a RO pattern or 2006? 

 

If 29.178 is accurate for Saturday, that's a good number and spot on for RTH

Lady Bird and Three Billboards will get second chances starting in January. Christmastime is always a time where Oscar contenders have to stay afloat and nothing more.

With the expansion of Darkest Hour, the nation's senior citizens declared, "This is our time."

[a2k]

JUMANJI had the best Sat bump in top 10 with 19.4%, followed by COCO with 19.1% and SW8 with 18.2%. TGS too did well with +13.1%.

[wildphantom]

All this furore over TLJ’s performance. 

How often in history has a film with one of the biggest opening weekends ever actually gone on to become top two biggest ever domestic? 

Jurassic Park and TFA are the two off the top of my head. 

But the OW record has been broken many times between those and none of the films ended with what Jedi will finish on. 

 

Perspective is in short supply to many. 

 

TLJ getting top five, for a sequel, is tremendous. No matter what way you look at it.

Rogue One was Saturday though. 

[baumer]

  think Christmas day is going to be enormous this year. I wouldn't be surprised if both Star Wars and Jumanji have increases north of 125%.

That's purely an effect of the schedule. If you look at all the movies that ran at the same time as Rogue One, most of them dropped in the mid 30s range. And while that isn't true to quite the same extend for the last time the schedule was like in 2016 (2011), the drops were still mostly in the 30 to low 40% range.

 

In comparison, 2006 was more or less 50-60% across the board, with the exceptions being christmas themed movies.

 

The drops are simply quite a bit bigger when christmas eve falls on Sunday then they are when it falls on Saturday.

[Cmasterclay]

I'm with baumer. This entire week is gonna be massive. Xmas movie season has only grown much larger since 2006 when the schedule was last like this and people's schedules (and wallets) are really really opening up - I might catch a movie after work every day this week. Might make up some disappointments.

[Brainbug]

Im done with people not getting that Christmas Eve is depressing TLJ 2nd weekend. So many people here have explained how this Christmas weekend works and they still cant shut up about TLJ "bad second weekend drop".

I saw it yesterday in a sold out theater where the average age of the audience was at least 75. It was like Star Wars for old people.
