Man, I almost want to start a Ranger Solo > TLJ in China club.  Only thing stopping me is knowing it'll probably crash hard there as well thanks to how bad the SW brand currently is in China.

that 41m for Jedi does seem so strange in comparison to the films around it.... crazy really.

Regardless of where it ends up in China, it'd be simultaneously surprising and unsurprising for the result

Solo will flop in China but China is only a little piece of the puzzle when it comes to Star Wars box office.

270k rise for BP over estimates. 24.2% drop only this week and it has not crossed 1.3 billion worldwide

[Ms Lady Hawk]

Was spring break why the Sunday drops were so steep this past weekend? Seems like most movies dropped between 35-45% on average. This last weekend acted very much like a summer weekend. Will things go back to normal this weekend with drops of 25-35%?

It's at 665m right now. It only needs to make 35m more to cross 700m dom, and it should probably do that, so very likely, yes.

Yeah, those estimates had a wacky low Sunday, I was pretty sure we were getting a less than 25% drop. This does not mean that 700 is looking that great everyone, it still needs to make almost exactly 4x this weekend.       

 

I think if IW has a positive impact on it 700 will happen, but otherwise still heading for the 690s.  

 

Edit: Also good for a top 10 8th weekend, just missing 9th place. First weekend below Jumanji.

556k under estimates.  Still a great drop (25%), but not nearly as good as originally estimated (20%).

Not a lock but odds have increased ever in its favor. 

[druv10]

Congrats to BP, it hit 52 straight days over 1M, tying TA. It needs 58.7% drop on Monday to continue the streak, my guess 1.1-1.15M tomorrow.
