Ready Player One was great in IMAX 3D. 

 

Think it would be a bit of a waste seeing it any other way.

 

Loved that horror was included. That’s all I’m saying! 

 

Very fun. 

I saw it in Superscreen with Ready Player One with Dolby Atmos and those speakers were used very well. As I mentioned, I imagine it would great fun in 4DX.

So who’s all thinking A Quiet Place and Blockers could breakout next weekend?

Blockers is fantastic but I think AQP will steal its thunder which is a shame. Comedy seem to be on the rebound with Game Night and now Blockers.

Variety says RPO did $17M on Friday not $15.2M.

What a nice thing to log onto after a long day away...

RPO overperforming...and hopefully hitting my weekend estimate...

ICOI and Paul both beating GND3 (maybe my best call of the weekend:)...

All the premier material holding really well in their 2nd/3rd/4th weeks...

If that's correct then $55m four days is happening!

There should be a chance if that weekend number happens. It will catch up to Tomorrowland through the same point with a 1.6m bigger weekend. Same holds as TL from there gets it to $98m, so just would need to hold a tad better. 

Are we expecting Disney to fill the $99M dom club? There's always place for someone else!

Must shy be a typo sadly since everywhere else says 15

[Jonwo]

It's insane that RPO will likely match The BFG's domestic total in four days, so many things went wrong with that film which is a shame because it's good and thanks to China, it's looking like it may outgross BFG's WW this weekend as well.

That PR drop is atrocious. Under $60m total is a real possibility.

Game Night has outgrossed Baywatch and some of the other comedy duds from last year. And $70 million would be a nice total for an R-rated comedy that’s relied on word of mouth and two stars who kinda poison.

 

Blockers I hope does well! It’s an R-rated comedy that has solid won by critics so far and audiences should enjoy it! Considering that’s the next R-rated comedy after that won’t be until June.

Biggest bomb of 2018 is coming! But I’m expecting $55 million as now it’s target. Ouch..

[dxmatrixdt]

huge jumps for Gnomes and Wrinkle.  Comparisons have animated/kids/family dropping terribly over Easter weekend.  Sat/Sat ratio is usually 0.5  Tomb Raider must not be getting much extra for shared drive-in screens with RP1.

just mistype, relax

[dxmatrixdt]

Mondays drop should be soft.  only up to 50% for most movies...  Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's drops should be the same as last week. 

Ready Player One could look like...

15.2 - Fri

15.2 - Sat

11.0 - Sun

5.5 - Mon

Tuesday.  pretend Monday is -70% range and jump Tuesday up 1/3.

4.4 - Tues

3.3 - Weds

3.3 - Thurs

RPO is looking at a very Nice number by Thu imo,

12 + 15.2 + 16 (+5%) +10 (-37.5%) + 5 (-50%) + 5 + 3 (-40%) + 2.8 = 69

Clearly nothing of interest is coming out in April so the mods decided to go with an all-time classic.

I like it, but even Spielberg did a better film in 2005 than War of the Worlds, called Munich. And, IMHO, it would not enter in the top 5 of 2005 taking into account Match point, Munich, A history of violence, Batman Begins, Good night and good luck, Walk the line or Brokeback Mountain

Relative to expectations, the biggest bomb of 2018 is going to be Solo.

 

But you can't eat an expectation, so yeah, PR is a strong candidate. Plenty of time left in the year, though.
