HAN SOLO MEMORIAL (day weekend) THREAD | Solo Flops Domestically with 83M/101M weekend. Spectacularly Bombs Overseas with 65M weekend.

[AniNate]

This probably isn't good for Ron Howard's career, I'll say. His last few movies have all been box office flops, and if he can't even get a Star Wars movie into the black, hard to imagine anyone else trusting him. I sure wouldn't.

Book Club is probably going to leg out to 50-60m. Old people like their movies too.

So, Solo's numbers almost guarantee all the June 1 releases get a wider open, right?  I'd assume there are a LOT of theaters which are gonna look for a "2-week" movie to fill unneeded Solo screens until Incredibles 2.  Maybe it will also help some June 8 releases, if they are willing to take only a 1 week guarantee window.  I know if I were any of these movies, I'd be pinging some of those 10-12 screen theaters that I didn't think I had a chance of booking now...  

No. Adrift is the only movie expected to make a dent of any kind next weekend, and even that's looking like a $12M opener at best.

I didn't see it posted in this thread but then I saw it on the sidebar. Damn. Well... 66% is on the better end of things at least?

 Nah theres no way around the fact that that is a bad drop. 66% drop on a holiday weekend with Sunday drop being cushioned is never a good thing. Hopefully it recovers because if it doesnt then it will miss 300m

Infinity War $96m away from 2 billi. 

I bet it will be around 90-92 million away from 2 billion with the actuals.

All the studios are predicting drops on Sunday for their films, with the exception of Overboard.  Going by history, many films stay flat or increase slightly on the Sunday of Memorial weekend.  So maybe some of the films will be underestimated.  I think Book Club will go up for sure.

 

Actually , looking at the last two years, the drops on Sunday are right around what they are predicting for this weekend.  I guess the drops are feasible, but I think IW and BC will see better Sunday holds.

[Mekanos]

God Black Panther is so close to 700 it's killing me. At least its drop was more favorable than last weekend.

Well, right now, neither of my 12s are preselling it...I'd expect that to change this week, especially since 1 12 has already dropped a dedicated screen for Solo starting Tuesday...

 

You can't have 4 screens empty at a 12 for 2 weeks...anything new probably will sell better than something rejected...

Also, Infinity War has officially passed AOU's multiplier.

Remember when Rotten Tomatoes told us to check our expectations at the theater floor, for Solo?

 

I think checking Solo's low numbers is better.

That was the dumbest consensus wver

 

 

 check our expectations at the door? This is fuckkng Star Wars, not Transformers 6

I don’t think so. I do hope Hereditary gets a wider release though.

If they keep it in theaters til next year it'll crawl to 100M that Disney wants so much. 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Deadpool 2 had a big drop, just like Suicide Squad ( 67% ) and Spider Man Homecoming (62% ). Like these two, let's hope Dedpool develops better legs from now on. 

 

Anyway, overseas numbers are good. So, it's all good.

That’s too bad because from what I hear he saved the movie from being worse than it could have been

Rampage is on 413 ww should do a little over 415 ww.

 

Solo os could be

160 (65 ow * 2.5) current markets + say 25 more from remaining markets (just plain guessing. don't know what markets remaining)

= 185

 

185 os + 230 dom = 415 ww

 

So under Rampage ww is very likely.

Who'd thunk RPO, the movie everyone was clamouring to bomb would beat Solo WW?

I'll start a riot if AWIT crawls to 100M before BP crawls to 700M. Fuck you, Disney, for releasing Blue Ray so early! 

 

@tribefan695 Solo is not Howard's fault and everyone in the industry knows that. he'll be fine and he has proven to be a good sport cause agreeing to take over so late in the game was a risk for him.
