Well, when you consider that the original opened on a double holiday weekend, it actually is more than ok.  

 

The original had the benefit of Valentine's Day inflating Friday/Saturday and then President's Day causing an increase on Sunday.  

 

To basically tie or beat that is great.  

Are we ignoring the $130-150m industry tracking?

Is this a typo?

Deadpool increased on Sunday because of the holiday weekend. DP2 doesn't have that benefit.

[Krissykins]

Sorry everyone, I thought Infinity War made more last weekend than it actually did lol

Well, it got its $23 from me. My hairdresser yesterday was trying to buy tickets for her and her husband, but the website wasn’t working.  So I managed to get the website to work, and got her tickets — in exchange for the haircuit.

RBG is barely going to increase from last week despite double the theaters. That's disappointing.

That would still be less than the first, as I said, not ok.

 

IW drop still bad, and sequel should out-open origjnal, more hype. 

Doesn’t need spinned, still not good. 

Still not good.

 

Finished  

DP2 - DP1 had Valentine's Day + President's Day boost, which means that the Sunday hold (and maybe even Saturday boost) would inevitably be much better than what DP2's will end up being; otherwise DP2 would break the record easily if the two movies were in the same situation. DP2 could be doing better, but as an R-rated comedy sequel superhero tentpole without those boosts that DP1 played with, it's not bad to be a little under the 1st one.

 

IW - In the face of direct competition that is opening over 120M + taking away all the premium formats (IMAX/4DX/etc.), low 50%'s is only outright bad if you were certain about it going sub-50%.

 

Get the context or are you still gonna be obtuse about this?

I was going to be a tight ass and just see a regular DP2 showing today, but the record is in question so I will splurge on that IMAX!

Sitting in for 11AM showing of Book Club. 

 

DP2 yesterday. 

Fonda getting her groove back today.

Or maybe this is just the cap for this particular franchise regardless of reviews/video/etc? Hell Marvel Studios couldn’t break 200 million OW after 2012 despite their vaunted brand name until this year (twice!) 

 

personally if I’m running Fox (until King Mickey kicks me out) I would prefer an underwhelming OW with good reviews than a record breaking OW with meh reviews. Short term yeah you win bragging rights but at what cost for the brand long term? 

I said earlier (despite my meltdowns) that I would rather have a good movie than it have a good OW. Ideally I'd want both but if I had to choose I'd definitely want a quality film. Fox 100% delivered on that so I can't complain in that regard

The meltdowns when Solo opens to sub $120M will be interesting

I kinda get the sense youre trying to troll here. Comedy sequels, especially R-Rated ones, tend to decline from their predecessors, no matter the reception. Add to that the fact that the first one made 363M, a HUGE amount of money and the fact that its OW was heavily inflated which was pointed out by several people already. Matching the first one was never all that likely. Opening on par with it is a great success and nothing else and i say this as someone who really hoped for a 150M+ debut.
