Only if you promise not to dress like a Navi like last time and start talking about sacred trees

I can't make this promise.

It is doing massive business here and it might beat Star Wars this weekend. Dwayne is more than a mere human to us, he is a legendary GOD.

Dwayne ain’t got shit on RTH.

There are only two Portuguese guys who know who Rth is tho.

I'd be shocked at this point of Jumanji doesn't do 17M for Friday.

 

Star Wars coming a little bit back down to earth at my theatre, pretty flat from yesterday if only a minor increase (but it started snowing so that's going to hurt business)

@The Greatest Rth @EmpireCity Do you guys think this Friday drop for TLJ thing is rubbish as well or is Deadline on to something?

[JB33]

This might be an obvious statement but I think we're at the point where Jumanji is actually hurting TLJ, not just co-existing and excelling in its own right. That's new territory because I don't think you could say anything really hurt TFA or RO. RO and SING were neck and neck last year but I think RO rung in everything it could/should have. TLJ, on the other hand, could be doing a bit better but Jumanji is stealing a bit of its thunder.

Maybe Deadline is over-correcting after last Friday's horrid memories. Guessing 2.5-5% bump for 20-20.5m.

I'm hoping for a bigger jump than that, but I guess then I still would have learned nothing. We will see.

I agree, it seems a bit silly it could make less on a Friday than a Wednesday really.

Nobody thought it would go under $30m on Christmas Day and Boxing Day either. 

[JonathanLB]

True that.

People are mad at deadline for no reason. What do you expect? These are very early numbers, of course the possibility for them changing is quite high. At least you have something to discuss....

People want to go back to when we pressed F5 on moviecitynews to get the official estimates nearly a day later...

Deadline might be onto something. My theater checks in LA/NY show matinees pretty much flat as are early evening shows. Looks like 7pm shows are a little ahead as are the late night ones. Should see an increase something in the ballpark of what a2knet is showing. Hope it's more

One would think Deadline is projecting based on stronger night shows. Perhaps the matinee shows were pretty weak compared to last few days.

4-day Christmas weekend vs Mon-Thu

TLJ 99.0 vs 96.6 (-2.4%)

JUM 55.4 vs 66.3 (+19.7%)

PP3 26.4 vs 26.6 (+0.8%)

TGS 14.4 vs 20.1 (+39.6%)

FERDI 10.1 vs 15.4 (+52.5%)

My local IMAX was very busy matinee showings as usual this week, but I haven’t checked the night showings much. I’m going at 10:30.

[grey ghost]

Nitpicks aside, TLJ and SMH are good movies.

 

They may not be what you expected but that doesn't make it bad.

 

I have issues with the way Batman, Two Face and Bane are depicted in TDKT but I have to admit the movies are well made and mostly good.

I didn't see a big difference in matinees, but my sample size is miniscule, so your probably right
