I don't even know what comparison to use for Book Club.  It's got such a different audience than most other films out right now.  I can only assume that whatever it does today, it will do at least that on Sunday.  So just guessing here, but could we see 35% increase today to 3.6 and a 10 mill three day? 

I’m thinking 40%. Movies that skew so old don’t have large Saturday increases

OH MAN, sometimes I love BOT

Cause I'd bet Han Solo over Thanos any day of the week. Especially with Ron Howard directing."

 

 

Thank you guys!

That's why I said a 35% increase.

Man, the ad right before Solo advertising the sound in Dolby 5.1 for that....the seats were trembling during the roars. Can't wait. Even if it sucks storywise, the score and sound....yeah it's gonna be fun.

Yea it was incredible. I even stole a glance at the screen even though I was trying to avoid trailer-spoilers. Watching in 3D IMAX too made me even more sensory overloaded.

Would Soloose more or less money if thy had saved it to be their first big exclusive on their streaming service?

Most likely a lot more. The movies once set for theatrical release that they are banishing to their streaming service (Magic Camp, Noelle) are films that were only modestly-budgeted at best in the first place so sending them there is no great loss.

It really makes sense that Solo is doing bad I mean why go watch it ?

I'm a fan of the franchise but not a die hard fan so naturally I'll watch the trilogy in the theater because there is some sense of urgency to them . I attended Rouge One because the idea of unfamiliar places was attracting plus good marketing 

Now why would a person like me go watch Solo ? No urgency as it does not touch the main story line and it is a damn prequel standalone , the marketing sucked , the reviews aren't glowing and it is following  the not so positively received star wars movie 

This movie is like X men origins Wolverine if Wolverine was not the most important member and it came out half a year after X men 3

Hm, well...thats a bit lower. Means a 21,5M true Friday.

 

For example, thats lower than Godzilla 14's true Friday of 29,2M (i know, Thursday Previews were not as prominent in 2014, but still...)

Just a horrid weekend. Solo is a big disappointment, DP2 had a nasty drop and IW is suffering another 50% drop. The Book Club is holding well at least.  

[Welfin]

Just like I said.

That range won't hold. It'll go down to 35m or less. This movie is failing spectacularly. @EmpireCity is always carrying water for Star Wars but it doesn't matter, this is a huge and unprecedented failure. 

But Solo was good. 

[LOGAN'sLuckyRun]

Thought this was gonna be another May 2007 where all 3 films would thrive. Now it looks like they're all hurting one another. With Solo getting it the worst.
