Holy shit, I'm leading the Derby by a comfortable margin with these estimates  Now I just need to hope the other movies don't screw me over

[Alli]

yikes what the heck happened with Rampage?  I didn't expect it to go this low

[MovieMan89]

WB is completely stupid for not marketing Crazy Rich Asians whatsoever yet. Unless they know the movie is a real stinker, it seems like it would have a lot of breakout potential. They desperately need that and Oceans 8 to breakout this summer. Otherwise The Nun and Fantastic Beasts may be their only real success stories this year.

The Rock's overexposure hurting Rampage, Jumanji still in cinemas

People loved Jumanji b/c of Jack Black and Karen Gillian's performances, not The Rock lifting his eyebrow.

Considering it's the same director as G.I. Joe 2, Jem and the Holograms, and all of those Justin Bieber documentaries...

Can’t see why RPO would drop so much after it held so well last week. Bet it goes up

So, it just needs a 100x multiplier to beat Sherlock Gnomes. Doesn't seem so hard.

[WrathOfHan]

Hopefully it gets into the mid-2s, that way very few take advantage of it in the Derby

It lost IMAX and other premium formats to Rampage this weekend. That usually leads to bigger drops.

Probably a little bit, like it probably did for 2016 Tom Hanks, people choosing Sully to get their America Dad fix, Inferno opening just a month later doing quite poorly for a 5m sales book:

 

10/28/16	Inferno	Sony	$34,343,574	3,576	$14,860,425	3,576	35
9/9/16	Sully	WB	$125,070,033	3,955	$35,028,301	3,525	14
4/22/16	A Hologram for the King	RAtt.	$4,212,494	523	$1,138,578	401	46

RPO is actually hanging around to a few morning IMAX shows around Orlando. IDK what other cities have it doing.

I am curious what the pitch was for Rampage that convinced WB to spend $120m on it. Most video game movies based on actual popular and relevant games don’t get that kind of budget. Unless The Rock got like $40m of that or something...

I was referring to this bit of the DHD article:

 

Who also gets hurt here? Warner Bros./Village Roadshow’s Ready Player One which had all those Imax theaters and now has to hand them over to Rampage.

 

Maybe Orlando is an outlier?

[Kraken]

Thrilled with AQP's numbers. I hope it leads until the 27th.

Emily Blunt is officially a bigger draw than The Rock. You heard it here first!

A Quiet Place is a feather in Blunt's cap, but it going to Mary Poppins that will make  her Top Level A list

[That One Girl]

Have the early numbers for New Mutants come out yet?

[dudalb]

And "A Quite Place  Silences Rampage" has become the most overused box office news Headline of the month....
