That minuscule drops every week for Jumanji and the greatest Showman are truly incredible and kind of bring us back to a different era of box office. And a question I have is, the 100% increases on Saturday for both Jumanji and Star Wars, is that normal for this time of year? I'm working right now so I don't have time to go research it myself.

I don't think that's a bad number for Maze overall. Sunday drop is a little worrying, but I think it could come near its budget domestically. OS it's probably going to do o/u 200M, so considering this is the last one anyway, Fox is still going to make a profit.

 

 

Hope Sunday number goes up since it's a little harsher than the other movies

Jumanji makes me so happy. I remember a December when I was a kid and my grandpa just bought it on PPV for all the grandchildren on vacation they had to put up with almost every day. We would watch it like 5 times a day on a loop.

 

I was hoping it'd have a Daddy's Home-like run. LOL. What a run.

Yeah, it usually is. Movies tend to have gigantic Saturday increases at this time of year.

[SchumacherFTW]

Craziest thing about The Greatest Showman, it's yet to have a weekend drop above 15%! That is absolutely insane!

Close to all movies yeah. Family films and Oscar players (their audience being mostly older moviegoers) in particular always have great weekend multipliers at this time of year.

DH2 is safe on the all time list!!!

What was its weekend OS?

 

I don't think it'll top DH2, but it'll come closer than I expected it to.

[narniadis]

Family leaning films are definitely normal to the 100%+ crowd during the school year.  

 

I actually think most of the Sunday estimates are overly generous. Apparently last week's sharp corrections have been forgotten. Lol. 

[DAJK]

Going to admit though, despite how much I love MR, it's got nothing on Potter

 

IMO Death Cure was better than 2 or 3 of the "worst" aka "least amazing" of the Potters, but overall that franchise has you invested with the characters like no other

14 years of following box office and I haven't seen such ridiculousness as what Showman and Jumanji are putting up for non platform releases. Makes for a memorable holiday season that is for sure.

TLJ's OS weekend came in at 4.8 million. It dropped 52% from the 6th weekend.

Last week was the play-offs though. This week has nothing (unless you care about the Grammys).

no one even remembers the hunger games tbh. the first one is really the only one that made any kind of pop cultural dent. what a wimper that shit went out on.

So I had some people from work stay the night and we were watching 12 Years a Slave... for whatever reason that movie is so hard to stomach I think it was for Lupita before Black Panther

 

so then holy fuck THAT scene... that scene. We found the clip on YouTube and scrolled to the comments. Those YouTube comments seriously make me disgusted in parts of humanity right now
