I know. But I don't want TLJ to top Avengers and with the race this close, every bit counts. 

me neither. When the race is so close, I root for the older movie since the new one has a benefit of inflation. And because I admire movies that got there first.

I would love to see Molly's Game really get a good boost from WOM.  It's my favourite movie of the year and the acting in it is terrific.

That's a 68% increase for Molly's Game 

 

So close, yet so far.

[m3racer123]

Damn, Jumanji's legs are almost as good as Karen Gillan's!

 

[narniadis]

Yeah, the Christmas Day # was the final curtain for anyhope of recovery. 35m CD was my high end after the poorer than expected Friday # that 2nd weekend but that +55% increase was just unheard of - as is most of this film's day to day weirdness of a run (I mean seriously decreasing on the 3rd friday??)

 

Ultimately it is not even going to out gross R1 by 100m....

Also - the non-adult / oscar films all seem to have rather middle-of-the-road increases this week - still good, just not crazy good.

[weresweresweres]

Jumani 3.544 in comparision to NATM 1.228 looks amazing. NATM did 84 mln more, sky is the limit for Jumanji.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Trying to see Molly's Game this week/weekend.

Yea, last year 9 movies in the top 10 increased more than 40%; a couple over 50% 

 

Jumanjis’ having a great run but I thought it would have a higher increase today. 

 

Maybe the Wed drops won’t be quite as big? Who knows

Probably muted bc tons of kids going back to school. Kids around here started back on Monday.

[TwoMisfits]

Higher Mondays from Moviepass superusers...no real Moviepass effect Tuesdays (discussed why this would be the least used day for those passes yesterday)...changes the +/- % you'll see, especially when these are small numbers anyway...expect better drops today for the movies you'd expect to appeal to those goers...

 

(I'll probably be a broken record, but someone probably has to be:)...

 

PS - Tons of threads where folks with Xmas presents are still just now getting their cards, and this should go on for a few more weeks...and with cards in hands, these folks are gonna buy:)...

I think CD's 27.5m (+56% from Sunday) was a wake up call when it came to expecting 680+. CD Mon+Tue brought 55m vs 70m that seemed possible on the high-end (2 days close to 35m). But neither day hit 30m. Wed hold was solid, Thu drop was ok. Then the 3rd Friday dropping from Thu by 2% was fugly and end of hopes of a big recovery. 660 dom, which is the symbolic milestone of 3.0x multi and also beats Titanic seemed like the big target. That Mon-Fri:

2017/12/25	1	$27,459,557	+56%	4,232	$6,489	$395,627,411	11
2017/12/26	1	$27,734,356	+1%	4,232	$6,553	$423,361,767	12
2017/12/27	1	$21,846,132	-21%	4,232	$5,162	$445,207,899	13
2017/12/28	1	$19,490,329	-11%	4,232	$4,605	$464,698,228	14
2017/12/29	1	$19,029,250	-2%	4,232	$4,497	$483,727,478	15

I would also add it's first Tuesday to this list; it decreased by 6% that day while everything else increased double digits.  The average increase was around 40% for the other films in the top 10.  The lower Christmas Day increase and then that third Friday drop were simply baffling to me.

Projections place “Jumanji” as the clear leader with a range of $25 million to $30 million over the Friday-Monday period The top end of forecasts put “Paddington 2,” “Proud Mary” and The Post each in the $23 million to $25 million range, while their respective studios project $15 million to $18 million. “The Commuter” appears to be heading slightly lower.

 

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/box-office-jumanji-paddington-proud-mary-1202659445/

 

If proud mary pull a 23-25m 4 days opening with that screen counts / marketing budget that would be a big win and explain the strategy (it would not have made much more than that with a bigger release to justify that cost, reviews would have irrelevant good or bad ones, it would have find it's audience by itself).

 

It did do the top 5 on tv but barely, 12 strong is already ahead and opening a week later:

Of course, I would never ever go see a movie on Tuesday as a MoviePass holder, unless I’m seeing IMAX so I can avoid all of the cheapskates. I got to the point where even without MoviePass I avoided Tuesday unless we could go at 10 pm since it was just not worth it to fight for seats and wait in a huge line around here. I’d rather pay full price.

[Valonqar]

I can't wait to see theater counts tomorrow.
