Good call, Lee Daniels!

I said from the beginning the black community wasn't going to come out in the numbers they did for Black Panther. From the outlok Wrinkle In time doesn't even come across as a black movie besides maybe the inclusion of Oprah.

Darker added 1.5M to its total after weekend #5; that would put Freed at 99.9M ().

 

However, Freed's drop this weekend was significantly worse than Darker's, obviously due to the harsh theater drop (nearly 1260 theaters lost), so its pace is probably going to put it around 99.5-99.6M without fudging.

 

That being said, Universal will more than likely not resist the possibility of an all-100M trilogy. Which means that they will probably go for a shameless fudgejob, and that there's a 90% chance that Freed hits 100M at this point.

Make that 100%. No movies are left stranded between 99-100M because of TV contracts and just the allure of the 100M number. Freed will get past 99M on it's own, up to 99.6M or so like you said, the Universal push will do the rest.

Happy to see Strangers: Prey at Night open above $10m. Nice.

 

Great hold for Game Night again, might eventually reach a decent total.

That's actually a pretty good start. Hard to extrapolate what this means for the rest of the world yet, but might put it in track for 200M OS with a decent enough China performance.

Any guesses on final gross for Jumanji? Does it have enough to pass Civil War? I don’t think so.

That Korea number is weak. Possible bomb incoming

Fantastic for BP, real shot at passing 1.3B WW and maybe even TLJ, fuckng fantastic.

 

700M Dom

620M OS

1.32B WW

Wow! That's almost 0.5A

Wrinkle is a "normal" movie with a black girl as the lead. I have not seen it, but it doesn't seem to promote black culture/power. I'm surprised tho it didn't get a more black audience.

Jumanji is out on digital this week and Blu Ray in 2 weeks. Might get past Spider-Man to be Sony's highest grossing movie ever but the home video release will mean theaters start dropping it starting next week. Probably 404-405M finish.

BP going for 5 straight number ones next weekend! I wonder how much it’d have made with the benefit of summer weekdays.

What happened to you promising not to bring Avatar into every conversation?

So much for not bringing in freaking Avatar into every single thread

I was legitimately impressed for Black Panther, it was praise. Don't @ me

For some reason people treat Oprah like she's some kind of deity.  She has never been a box office draw and she hasn't really been a relevant personality for about a decade.

Well I didn't need to be concerned, that's a great limited opening for Death of Stalin. IFC might actually want to take it into 600-800 theaters if it holds well the next couple of weeks.

[IronJimbo]

Thought WIT would make $40m to be honest. R1P can't come sooner.
