So in other words, we now live in a world where Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel , Terminator: Genisys, The King's Speech, and Ice Age: Collision Course can be higher grossers than a Star Wars film. K'.

1.	Solo: A Star Wars Story	$35,631,000
2.	Deadpool 2	$12,100,000

Speaking of Maze Runner, I was rewatching the third film and was amazed and how much scale and action the director was able to do for a 60m budget. More blockbuster directors should follow his example 

Agreed. Someone’s gotta give him a 150M to play with.

IW had a bigger Friday jump than last weekend and one of the biggest amongst movies in the top 12 this weekend and is down only 41.8% from last Friday. How is that not doing well?

[LOGAN'sLuckyRun]

Sat. numbers aren't being reported bc Solo made $0

 

You heard it here first

[water]

omg maze runner 3 was soo good. it and insurgent are SUCH excellent and underrated action movies set in cities

[Moviefanatic]

Well these forums have been fun so far this weekend. When’s the next disappointment coming out? JW2 maybe?

 

Actually that will be too huge OS to be a disappointment 

[BardCrank]

Said this earlier 

Solo is like origins:wolverine if wolverine was not the most important x men and it came out half a year after x men 3

[ZeeSoh]

Yesterday by this time we already had numbers for an hour. I hope @Rthanos comes around and gives us some juicy numbers

[CJohn]

@Rthanos is not worthy of these silly low numbers. He needs to go on vacations and come back for the Incredible/Jurassic World combo.

[Quigley]

I must admit I am quite happy with the fact the Pirates 3 retains the record. It deserves it.

Would like to see if Deadpool 2 got a nice Saturday bump. With so much in play with Solo not doing so well, it would be good to start getting some estimates as to whether those weekend predictions are holding or not. 

[a2k]

hoping dp2 does 12.1+18.3+16.8+13.8=61(-51.4%) using +51%,-8%,-18% sat-mon.

That would be glorious. Hope you're right. I have to say you pretty much nailed the Solo debacle before anyone else embraced it fully. So I hope your instincts are equally strong with DP2. Great work!!

Yeah, but as you said OS will mitigate it. Expect OW could be as low as 130 DOM though.

No  its because the news outlets need time to figure out a new dishonest way to frame the failure.

 

Headline: with good social media buzz, solo set to open to +180M

 

Article: disneys latest star wars installment is generating strong word of mouth after coming in above initial friday estimates. Insiders report the opening could baloon as high as  130-195M by the friday after next

thanks! feel bit too bullish on Dp2. if not 50%, at least 45% true fri to sat bump for 17.5 would be nice and keeps it on course for high 50s 4-day.
