This weekend will be stabilization for Panther. A sub-50 drop is looking a bit harder.

Were last week's weekdays that impressive?

So might need about $64.5m for the weekend to reach $500m through Sunday. Very possible number IMHO.

Which would be dead even with JW as some of us expected.

Under 50M weekend incoming!

shame shame! 

[MaxAggressor]

Scott from Forbes is saying 6.9m (@aabattery). An identical 1.5% increase (to that of Deadpool) on Thursday will mean 7m tomorrow.

 

Fri - 16.1m (+130%)

Sat - 27.4m (70%)

Sun - 17.8m (-35%)

 

3rd weekend will be [16.1+27.4+17.8] = 61.3 million. Does that sound right @redfirebird2008 @WrathOfHan??

Seems to be in very good position for $650m, just looking at the trajectory of Jurassic World, Avengers, and Last Jedi.

 

After 18 days

Last Jedi - $531m

Jurassic - $507m

Avengers - $463m

 

This was the last huge day (January 1st) for Last Jedi's holiday boost. Eventually Avengers caught it and they finished with a similar total. Jurassic World obviously ended up about $30m higher than either of them. Panther is tracking to be around $505-510m after 18 days, basically identical to Jurassic World.

DPs' 3rd Sat bump was an improvement over it's 2nd Sat bump : 60% vs 50%.

BP's 2nd Sat was +65%. If it shows a similar improvement should do +78% on 3rd Sat.

JW enjoyed summer weekdays and late theater bumps (IMAX re-release & Labor Day expansion) tho. Plus it's competition in Sept. & Oct. wasn't very big while BP will have to compete with AI:W, Deadpool & Solo. 650 million is still doable but it'll be tough. Could be a close shave in the end.

JW was going against a $350m family movie Inside Out that released only 7 days after it. Never mind all the other summer releases after that such as Minions (another $335m grosser). If JW could have such good legs in the face of that competition, I don't think Panther will have too tough of a time getting to a similar final number.

So Friday is TDKR day @MrPink

Plus BP has spring break and stronger weekends.

It's hard to be disappointed with any Black Panther numbers at this point, given it has made about $429M domestic and $763M worldwide in just 13 days. And that gargantuan second weekend of $111.7M, a record breaker for comic book movies. It's all still pretty mind boggling.

 

I've learned not to underestimate Black Panther on the weekends anymore. Let's see how it does.

 

Peace,

Mike

Hmm, over-projected I did - it's a little obvious now that Panther is settling somewhat given the inflation from last week's holidays. A solid 60m+ weekend and it continues what seems like a fairly set path, barring an unusual collapse or series of good holds. Either way, we are talking about a film that is making elite of the elite type grosses during week 2 and will be comfortably in the top 6 unadjusted, just a phenomenal run.

I wasn't talking about the immediate releases tho. I was talking about the legs after the 10th/11th week. JW got substantial boosts from theater expansions during that time and those expansions contributed heavily to JW's late legs. BP will square up against A:IW, DP2 and Solo in quick succession in and around the same juncture (after 11th week). If BP's weekends can stay well ahead of JW then the target of overcoming JW becomes easier. BP will need 9.8 million more than JW's 3rd weekend to make up the lost ground (due to weaker weekdays). So BP needs close to 64.4 million in the up-coming weekend. It's doable and BP will remain on track to beat JW in dbo. In any case BP vs JW is going to be a great battle. I'll have a great time comparing their domestic BO runs. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
