should add 2x the weekend for around 37.5-38.5m

[Brainbug]

Well, JW adjusts to 725M

 

Anyway, this is (again) mind-boggling for BP. Truly a cultural phenomenon in the US.

Black Panther was projected to make 300 million. Let's see what IW does first before burying it.

I'm really struggling to understand the rationale behind keeping IW estimate the same or lower after Black Panther.  No point in back and forths just for the heck of it so I'll leave it at that.  We will see soon enough- I'll be watching IW at a laser IMAX at the air and space museum with 10 people so needless to say we're all pumped to new levels.  Fwiw 2 of those friends are black and unprompted said this "feels" like BP2

The number for IW is just the minimum or safe bet.

I don’t think people realize what a monster JW was. That movie did gangbusters at the box office. That was one of those statement movies for Universal where they flexed their muscles.

ORS seems to be doing solid for a China release in the US no?

Gavin say 104-114M in China

DP 2nd Sat jumped 50% and 3rd Sat jumped 60%.

BP 2nd Sat jumped 65% and 3rd Sat would have jumped 78% if it showed the same improvement as BP. It jumped higher at 84%.

 

39.0% drop on Sunday gives it 500 cume

16.3

30.0

18.3 (-39%)

= 64.6

So BP proves once and for all that it's a Saturday player, as we all knew, but let the meltdowns commence next Friday when the number is "disappointing" again.

Death Wish debuted with an estimated $13.03M this weekend.#DeathWishMovie #DeathWish #BoxOffice @MGM_Studios @DeathWishMovie

Given a base weekend of $65.8 million (-35% on Sat to Sun)

 

So, next weekend it needs a drop of 44.2% to be the 3rd biggest 4th weekend above The Avengers' $36.7 million

 

35.7% drop would put it above The Force Awakens' $42.25 million would give it 2nd best 3rd weekend.

 

And the much more impossible 23.5% drop would put it above Avatar for best 3rd weekend.

 

My guess is very close to Avengers, but its fun to think how insane it would be if it was possible for it to beat the top 2

[kayumanggi]

DEATH WISH destroyed my Derby.

[StevenG]

Another incredible, eighties/nineties-movie-like hold for The Greatest Showman.

Wow.

I wonder if there is enough gas in its tank for 175 million...
