Deja23 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 $120m? That’s nuts. Though this is the first movie where I have multiple people asking me to go see it with them. And they’ve seen it already. I’ll be supporting Annihilation this weekend instead though...but it’d be awesome if Black Panther can hold that well.

KP1025 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think it would be a miracle to drop under 50% after an inflated holiday weekend, let alone close to only 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 following Deadpool would put it at like 98M for the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Lady Hawk Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I, for one will never underestimate this movie again. Last week BOM predicted 212 over four days and I thought it was crazy talk. So yeah, 120 it is. Taking a quick glance at AMC app, I think this movie will either go up today or stay relatively stable. There’ve been a few more sell outs than yesterday. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I know no one here cares, and I don't really care at all either except to see if it can cross 100m or not, but Fifty Shades Freed is still trucking along right near that 100m marker. FSF actually had a better Wed drop than Darker did, if not by much: Wed $1,389,580-25.5% / -63.4% $94,634,810 / 13 $1,228,780-23.4% / -88.6% $81,464,360 / 13 Still making less per day since it was from a lower total though. Doing a quick check, if FSF follows FSD's drops exactly from here on out, I get approx 98m (unless I messed up somewhere). Question is, is that within fudge factor area and does Universal care enough to limp it over the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most movies that finished around 100 either did so naturally or had a significant expansion near the end to do so. I don't see 50S getting an expansion. Think it will need to get there on its own.

The Friday bump would have to be pretty substantial for it to get to $120M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you don't think Easter Weekend is in the Fifty Shades wheelhouse? (Could make a couple of dirty jokes here, but I'm refraining for once. ) Though, come to think of it, Easter Weekend being March 30th - April 1st probably does help the ultra late legs. That weekend was Darker's last weekend, but I could see Universal planning on keeping it in theaters a weekend or two longer when they set up the schedule given the calendar placement this year. Gonna be a close call either way, though. Especially if it has a semi-decent hold (for it) this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Black people gotta pay the bills during the work week. A 120 m OW due to a weekend surge wouldn't shock me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Titan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's Tues/Wed numbers combined are 21% ahead of BATB, which went on to do $90.4 million its second weekend. It's going to do right around what Jurassic World its 2nd weekend but I'm hoping for a little more so I'm saying $108.5 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commendable Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I said this was gonna hit 700m earlier in the tuesday thread i think. Is 700m achievable now so i can rub it in people's faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It would need a little below 110 to cross 400 over the weekend. If it get's there then it needs to add 2x the weekend more to beat TLJ. I think all the bo analysts including our members could be on a high after last weekend so will go a bit conservative. It's a CBM in the end with an inflated Sunday and a low 53-55% drop for 90-95 should not spoil the party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Again Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just got out of my third showing, which was a 4:00 Thursday showing in a non-African American area. It was basically sold out, and the 7:00 did sell out, with lines out the door. At this point I’m not going to react to *any* predictions for this movie from a well regarded source with “that seems like too much.” 120 would be insane though — that’s a 32% drop from the pure FSS figures.

I think one thing not being taken into consideration is all the groups of kids that were taken to see the film last weekend by various organizations that could have inflated it a bit for the 4 day. That's why I think these Tue/Wed drops have been harsher than something like Deadpool. Edited February 23, 2018 by MovieMan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
