Easter Weekend Thread: Official Weekend Actuals: RPO $41.8M ($53.7M 4-Day), Acrimony $17.2M, BP $11.5M, ICOI $10.4M, PRU $9.4M, IOD $2.9M, GND3 $2.7M

3.75 + 8.25 Thu split. 58% bump from 8.75 gives it 13 on Friday.

Hoping it can do 14 and at least 45 4-day....

 

12 + 14 (+17%/+70%) + 12 (-14%) + 8 (-33%) = 46 4-day (34 3-day)

I don't see it dropping much on the Saturday, think it's more likely to be flat or a small increase

WARCRAFT was a good film, the only good video game movie so far.

There hasn't been a good video game movie released in almost two weeks!

The Dom 4-day won't beat China's 3-day by much!

In China, Ready Player One has a 9.1 review rating on Douban, which is huge considering most Hollywood movies have scored a 6 or 7 review rating. This translates into Yuans over there. Currently it’s looking like a $14.75M take first day in the Middle Kingdom which with previews takes the Spielberg pic’s cume to $15.2M and a potential $48M opening weekend.

Am guessing it has a shot at 3x multiplier in China with that rating, which gives around $145 total.

It took a while but at 71, Spielberg is now big in China.

Forecasting RPO with my weekend prediction:

 

Mar 30: 43.2M (14.9M weekdays/12M OD, 70.1M Total)

Apr 6: 19.8M (6.5M weekdays, 96.4M Total)

Apr 13: 9.2M (3.5M weekdays, 109.1M Total)

Apr 20: 6.2M (2.1M weekdays, 117.4M Total)

Apr 27: 2.6M (900k weekdays, 120.9M Total)

May 4: 1.6M (600k weekdays, 123.1M Total)

May 11: 1M (300k weekdays, 124.4M Total)

Final Total: 127M (2.94x from 3 day/2.3x from 4 day)

 

I expect it to follow GI Joe Retaliation somewhat closely. That faced a bit of competition in April, and RPO is already more frontloaded than it. GI Joe managed a 3x, but Infinity War will prevent that with this IMO

Am at a 10:30 showing of Acrimony and there is a huge crowd, hundreds of people here in a big AMC theater.

He has now been given the honorary tile of Ranger. Ranger Spielberg.

According to early pre-sales, Acrimony should have a big friday.

@a2knet CBO folks are predicting 65m OW for RPO & Maoyan is predicting 250m+ final total.

Low-rez rendered textures in 3D, an absolute  MUST SEE !

Going to watch RPO IMAX later today. Although this tweet made a strong case for GND3

No matter how good/bad the movie is, I think GND3 made a huge mistake opening as the 3rd of the 3 faith based movies in a row.  That audience does not go out for movies that much, and asking for 3 weekends in a row is kinda crazy.  I'm sure it was hoping ICOI would be over and out, but ICOI's breakout with a probably better and more approachable movie for more people (faith-based, music lovers, family) pretty much made this movie DOA.  I mean, I'm not sure it won't finish this OW in 3rd place in the faith-based movies ranking...and Paul only made a little more than $5M last weekend, so it's 2nd weekend can't/won't be all that high...
