BLACK PANTHER WEEKEND THREAD | Current Estimates - 202.4M 3-day / 242.6M 4-day | Record 40.167 Monday; more than TFA!

Well I went through the 5 stages of grief when I finally accepted that Avengers was the peak of MCU sometime after AOU and Civil War failed to cross 500 m.

 

I'm ready to see them hit another peak with a formerly B or C-list character...

 

In February.

Remember when February was a dump month?

BP is going to beat TA. The incredible WOM can already be seen during the 4-day. The only question is whether it's going to pass 700m.

[Mekanos]

I'm curious how Marvel is gonna push BP now in merchandise and other spin-offs. Wakandaland when?

[Legion Again]

I’m also excited to see the Tuesday Nums, but it occurs to me that they may be a bit beyond the time period that then WEEKEND thread is supposed to cover

Strong; tonight is looking PACKED at several theaters. Basically every 2D show at Disney Springs filled up about a third today, and the shows tonight are about 60-65% full in two 300 auds. and one 400 seater. The Dolby Cinema has been about 80% full all day, and dine-in shows are doing well (3D is only being offered at dine-in screens). Getting full on sellouts in auditoriums of that size during the week are impossible unless it's tourist season because Orlando isn't exactly sprawling with people like bigger metro areas, but BP basically sold out all the good seats in the daytime (not up front, not in the very back, and not next to the aisle).

 

As for my theater, the first 2D show and 6:15 evening show in the biggest auditorium were marked "Almost Full" by AMC. I'll do a full report for my theater in a little bit.

Thanks!

At this point I don’t think any month is a

dump month.

rth will make a post here and then someone will make a Tuesday thread. That's usually how it works. Can't start a thread without some numbers.

I think if IT can open to $123m on the deadest weekend of the year you can open a movie anywhere.

Yes. Best Picture could get a Black Panther nod next year.

January or October is next to break the month curse.

Its a cbm blockbuster, not award worthy, but has a shot especially in technical categories.  I dont think Coogler's better films got nominated

Proof from my theater that people hate 3D: The showing of BP 3D in 10 minutes has only sold 22/78 seats. The 2D show in 55 minutes? 63/69. The only seats left are wheelchairs. The 8:30 3D is only at 13/78 too.

 

Happened over here on Sunday too. It was an absolute struggle to get tickets but the lone 3D screening was damn near empty.

[MovieMan89]

Giving it a Tuesday hold about 10% better than Deadpool's, and then roughly following Deadpool's holds through Sunday would make the second weekend record possible:

 

Tue: 27m (-32%)

Wed: 21 (-23%)

Thu: 20 (-5%)

Friday: 43 (+115%)

Sat: 64 (+52%)

Sun: 42 (-34%)

 

Weekend: 149m
