TR was a non-sequel. I doubt if PR beats TR's ow. Not by much at least. 22.5-24.5 imo.

Honestly you have a point. I'm still projecting 24-26mil but I honestly would not be shocked if it opened under Tomb Raider when all is said and done.

Tomb Raider is not going to have that good of a drop. Deadline overestimated Red Sparrow's second weekend as well when it came to "early numbers"

Interesting pro-embargo argument from a critic. (He's talking about Cannes but I don't see how this doesn't apply to any embargo).

Legendary/Universal’s Pacific Rim Uprising is pushing out Marvel’s winter kingpin Black Panther with a current 3-day of $23.1M to $17M.

 

MGM/Paramount’s Sherlock Gnomes is not looking good at this point with a $12.2M estimated third place opening off 25% Rotten reviews. It’s from the previous pre-Jim Gianopulos regime at the Melrose lot. MGM is in this $59M production for a third, and its third ugh domestic result for MGM following Death Wish and Tomb Raider‘s openings.

 

 

Roadside Attractions I Can Only Imagine is stoking the faith based in its expanded release with $10M, -39%, for a fourth place rank and 10-day take of $34.4M. It out-sings Sony’s Paul, Apostle of Christ Bible tale which is falling outside the top 5 with a $5.8M-$6M take at 1,473.

 

MGM/Warner Bros.’ Tomb Raider falls to fifth from second place last weekend with $9.75M, a 59% decline and running total by Monday of $41M.

 

Global Road’s teenage romance Midnight Sun isn’t rising with a $4.2M start at 2,173 while no one is going to crazy for Steven Soderbergh’s Unsane which is looking at $3.5M at 2,023; both titles outside the top 5.

Shame tomb raider couldn't do better. It was pretty enjoyablr

[el sid]

Pretty frustrating numbers. Maybe they go up in the next hours like they did last weekend for ICOI and (a little bit) TR. But for the moment .

ICOI has direct competition...even with expansion, that was gonna hurt, especially since the prime audiences are almost identical and they like both movies...

 

The same can probably be said for TR - PR2 probably has huge overlap in audience with TR...

Wow box office is gonna be so dead till April 27th.

9.75M would be very similar to Gits FSS drop right ? PR 2 is quite direct competition Raiders having playing more male than female, RPO will also be quite direct comp also, could be harsh legs close to the average video games legs after all if it end up close to that deadline estimate.

 

11-13M was extremelly optimistic, but below 10m is bad less than 50% hold even with previews removed.

That Tomb Raider estimate is a lot worse than what the weekdays were pointing towards.

Friday evening (4pm and later) at my theater. Super surprised they cut showtimes for I Can Only Imagine. They really slashed the showtimes for Tomb Raider and took it off all their Ultra Screens....embarrassing.
