They dropped 45-50% AoU and CW was 18-21%(1/5) and dropped 59,5% So 18+ Tomorrow will mean 45-48% 2nd weekend drop 17-17,5ish could indicate 50-52% 14 and were looking at 60% drop lets hope @Rthanos will drop a early number tomorrow I'm guessing about a 33.5% drop today for a 15.56m Wednesday and Thursday will drop about 10% for $14,000,605.

Brainbug Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Casual reminder that one year ago, the big Marvel Film to kick off the summer season was GOTG Vol. 2 - with a 146M Opening. Infinity War's second weekend will probably come close to that. Just mind-boggling. The second weekend of a movie could potentially match the Opening weekend of the big summer starter from last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone calculated approximately how much a film has to increase in admissions on Discount Tuesday to stay flat from Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course heads of studios and producers are incapable of good intentions unlike certain directors who can't be bothered to even pretend to have good intentions. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really sad way of looking at it. Movies don't just come out of thin air.

It was much more endearing when it was a director to director, mind you could the opening weekend handovers always been a studio thing? It's possible that the Kathleen did it from good will alone but it's far more possible that it was because it's a little bit of easy marketing you can't miss out on. I'm not trusting of big companies and history is on my side, I assume everything they do s for the ultimate goal of making more profit.

RUmor has it that after Feige saw a rough cut of the 2016 Fantastic Four movie (which as head of Marvel film division he had contractual rights to do) he warned Kennedy that she did probably did not want to let Josh Trank near a Star Wars film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider this little “passing of the baton” to be especially meaningless and hollow. In the context of Star Wars the brand and story, it makes no sense. They write their most beloved characters in such a way that they throw away light sabers. They don’t like or respect their own mythology, fans or material. Huge difference between the MCU and Star Wars right now. One is showing incredible respect to the source material, the other is interested in (some form of?) deconstruction of its source material. And I think that’s being extremely charitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are seeing humans as to rational here, that picture is targeting an already "conquered audience" (who care about it that would have not seen the movie and now will.....) A lot of what people do is what to project their worth to the group, to sell themselves. That public note (instead of a phone call) studio/director do is a good way to projects to others that you are able to be happy for others success, same team, everyone boat rise with the tide, not a sore looser type (irrelevant if any of this is true, you want to show that this is the case, specially if the person beating you is a friend like Lucas/Spielberg were or now Jurassic World/Star Wars/Marvel crew all being linked a lot together in some ways). Most of what is said/shown by someone is a way to express/elevate is social standing among the group, by demonstrating that he possess skills/well seen by the groups values/knowledge and so on or to demonstrate for which team he play in an ostensible way (solidarity/fidelity toward the group). Doing that type of thank you accomplish both at a very small price and does not require any expected monetary gain to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue it's spreading the word that it's a record holder and that's it's super hot, so I wouldn't say it's targeting a "conquered audience" I agree with the rest though, perhaps this is so trivial that it's not a business decision rather just Kathleen trying to look good.
