Btw, this has to be the most exciting post New Years weekend ever.

I mean except for that little "Star Wars" thing Hollywood is trying to make happen.

Even though we saw J over TLJ happening this weekend, the gap could be 12m according to deadline's numbers: that's a swing of 14.5m after a 2.5m weekend in favor of TLJ last week.

Showman probably has a chance to beat it next weekend.

TLJ should end up closer to J than TFA : 340 +290 630 +307 937

That awkward moment when Jumanji outgrosses the likes of Batman vs Superman and Spiderman Homecoming.

Jumanji will probably catch up to Jungle Book in the dailies soon

Jumanji is only doing well because a (space) movie is so bad.

I doubt Downsizing is the reason Jumanji is doing so well.

sunday's drop could be harsh, the top 10 from 2007 during the same calendar year, dropped 40%+ on sunday and all of the them had their sunday's gross much more lower than friday, indicating that friday is much more "holidaier" than usual

Kowhite fighting the good fight.

Let's clarify shall we?

 

Jumanji is mopping up would be tickets for The Last Jedi.

Jumanji will FINALLY come in first place in a weekend! HELL YEAH!!!

Finally? It knocked off TLJ on New year's day. Only bogus estimates saved those blushes.

 

It's also managing this with a 450 less screens handicap.

Don't make me insult you. I'm much better at it.

I don't post here much because I'm mostly a page reader, however, why is it that I C so much hate for the new Star Wars film here? It's like people are excited to see a poor box office. Finishing #5 all-time DOM is not half bad.

 

 

I just don't get it. Anyhow, thanks to the people who post the numbers and contribute interesting topics, because many (like myself) actually read them.

It's currently 57th all time. Raw DOM numbers don't mean much without adjustment for ticket price inflation.

Some people just like to see the world burn. 

 

It’s dissapointing because of how big the OW was. Even with solid WOM it should have done 700m. The combination of mixed WOM and Jumanji’s breakout have kept it from doing as well as it could have. 

 

 

I loved the movie, by the way.

It is not about total gross, its about the multiple. Not many expected a sub 3x multiple with this Dec release date. If it opened to 150m OW, this result will be impressive.. but a 220m OW with a final of below 650m means WoM is mixed, even skewing to negative.

Doesn't bold well for Episode 9, and many audiences may not trust RT critics' score for SW going forward, and might wait for WoM.
