With the success of Black Panther, Hollywood is gonna double down the production of superhero movies.

I doubt this is very frontloaded, especially with the WOM it has. It'll likely fall less than 20% today from yesterday's entire gross.

 

Falling 55% isnt frontloaded.

Best film of the year so far.  Only 2 2017 films are better than it (Shape of Water and Blade Runner)

Have not seen it, probably will now this afternoon.

Jumanji 2 increased 211% on Friday?? WTF?? 0_o     

 

This is unreal. Even BP can't put a dent in J2's run. The 1.87 million Fri. figure happens to be J2's biggest Fri. bump over NATM till date (or at-least in 2018). It beat the Fri. bump from last weekend quite comprehensively (2.22>>1.74). 

 

The 3 day/4 day weekend estimate (8.1m/10.6m) from Deadline's also represents J2's best bump against NATM so far in it's BO run. 400 million is basically guaranteed atm. J2 might actually become Sony's biggest movie ever in the domestic market. This is madness.

Maybe the GA will get fed up soon, we can hope.

[That One Girl]

I think this is the absolute peak of the genre.  Don't think any future superhero films will outgross Black Panther

The opposite will happen.  Soon the only movies people see in theaters will be Disney Marvel movies.

Domestically, overseas i think superhero films especially solo ones are getting more popular.

Soon, Disney will start buying homes. I for one welcome the evil Disney takeover.

I think we're going to need something or someone to come and show everyone how to make big money without using "super" heroes.

Crossing my fingers for RPO and engines... although Tele choosing RPO vs Alita makes me sad.. then engines faces alita in cinema.

Snow storm on the east coast (my area's getting 2-5 inches), so that might make grosses slightly deflated

Of course all this WHITE snow trying to oppress the BLACK Panther.

I think a lot of that is spillover from Black Panther which is bringing huge crowds to the theaters. Novice moviegoers (like my parents) think they can just show up to the theater and get a ticket to BP 20 minutes before the movie starts lol. The packed parking lot doesn't give them a clue that the movie and the next showing is most likely sold out already so they choose something else and Jumanji is the next best alternative.

What was the average prediction at BOT on Black Panther, OW, DOM & WW final ?
