Panther's success is historical. Wish Tomb Raider and Love, Simon had done better. ICOI did quite impressively for a Christian movie.

I don't particularly endorse piracy (though I'd be lying if I said I've never illegally downloaded stuff.... because I couldn't find the thing I wanted in stores, and eBay or Amazon weren't a thing for me yet), but you are aware that those that get their shit from pirate websites probably don't have the financial capacity to go often to the theaters - whether because it's expensive or because they don't have a theater near them - and have to resort to piracy to watch films they wanted to see but not quite as much as others that they'd actually pay for? "Cheap asses who don't really love film".... I mean, maybe the cheap ass part is right, but I doubt someone would do an illegal thing because they hate cinema (or video games, music, etc.).

Yeah, before movie pass this was the case for me. Going to the movies on a consistent basis in Los Angeles is really expensive. Its $15-$17 for a regular 2D showing out here.

@IronJimbo, they’re speaking messy about that garbage ferngully movie you love so much.

I am surprised Thor 3 did this well. Wait I mean Black Panther. They pretty much had the exact same plot.  I get those movies confused. Sorry about that.

Love Simon was frontloaded like teen movies always are, I Can Only Imagine did great and Wrinkle's second weekend didn't save it. I have no idea how it is performing internationally.

There will be mini meltdowns here when PR takes down BP.....

Why would there be?

 

PR would be lucky to hit 70 m DOM.

 

BP could make 10 times as much.

People who pirate suck and I’ve no respect for them or their opinions. Cheap asses. 

 

People who pirate also don’t really love film. 

Meh.

Plenty of people who love film pirate.

Those two thing are not exclusive (except in your head).

Looks like Black Panther is the 2nd fastest movie to hit 600 m (31 days).

 

And the only 21st century movie to stay #1 for five weekends (consecutive or non-consecutive).

 

 

 

 

You're forgetting the highest grossing film of all time did 7 weeks at #1.

Would something like this be more effective as far as combatting piracy goes? I thought these were pretty amusing, but the penalties are genuinely severe in Japan.

 

 

 

 

I don't know if hiring costumed choreographers for all movie theaters would be an effective anti-piracy deterrent.

Do the studios only get 25% from all overseas markets or is that just China?

TFA didn't even get 5 weekends at #1. 

 

And still made over 900 m DOM.
