Sherlock Gnomes, Unsane, and Midnight Sun could have directed more traffic away from Game Night on Friday and Saturday.  Also, Fifty Shades is still playing at 500+ locations in its seventh weekend.  I think week #8 is when second run discount cinema locations are added. 

 

example

Winchester is at 90 locations and lost one this weekend in its eighth weekend.  Assuming second run locations did in fact come into effect for Winchester this weekend, then Winchester probably lost about 75% of all the theaters it had for last weekend at regular theaters, then added in the new second run theaters which packed more purchases per dollar, and it was able to duplicate last week's total.  (but with a larger amount of exposure)  

None of those are adult comedy's.  Sherlock Gnomes?!  How would that take traffic away from Game Night?!  Totally different audience.

It would be very understandable considering it's Australian box office and he's a rabbit.

Here's what happens if it follows TWS' holds this week leading into the holiday weekend:

 

1.4M (-70.3%)

1.9M (+36.5%)

1.4M (-25.4%)

1.7M (+22.5%)

 

3.7M (+120.1%)

4M (+8.8%)

2.2M (-44.4%)

9.9M Weekend, 41% drop

 

The weekday holds aren't perfect because BP has yet to increase that much on Tuesday, but those Monday and Wednesday drops are in line with BP. This is what I see happening:

 

1.4M (-70%)

1.8M (+30%)

1.3M (-27%)

1.6M (+20%)

 

3.5M (+120%)

3.3M (-5%)

2.2M (-33%)

9M Weekend, 46% drop

Pacific Rim Uprising is a springboard for a cinematic universe, where DeKnight revealed "If enough people show up to this, we've already talked about the plot of the third movie, and how the end of the third movie would expand the universe to a Star Wars/Star Trek-style [franchise or series] where you can go in many, many different directions... You can go main canon, you can go spin-offs, you can go one-offs. Yeah, that's the plan."^[60] DeKnight also talked about the possibility of a crossover with the MonsterVerse,^[61] as co-writer T.S. Nowlin is a member of its writers room.^[62]

Don’t like the steep theater drop for Jumanji. I know it’s out on home video but at least get a comfortable bead on Spiderman’s domestic gross before pulling theaters wholesale.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the interview process for big budget writing/directing jobs require you to describe your vision for the movie but also ideas for an expanded universe/sequels.

Makes sense. All those poor applicants can just wearily think "Gee, thanks Feige."

Next milestone Black Panther needs is 706m, Avengers adjusted total. Not sure if it will get there.

This is incredibly depressing.

Where will all the screens for Ready Player One come from? My guess is the biggest loser in that contest will be Wrinkle In Time. It's got a lot of screens and isn't doing much with them.

Poor guy. Apparently no one keyed him in he was making a sequel no one asked for to a 5 year old Transformers wannabe that may have lost money at the box office itself.
