Wednesday Numbers: Solo 4.9M | Deadpool 3.9M | Book Club 1.6M | Infinity War 1.5M

[MikeQ]

Deadpool 2 will be at ~$231M or so with Thursday's gross. Even if the film then gets 60% weekly drops for the rest of its run, it will still hit $275+ million. It won't end anywhere close to $250M, and certainly not under it. 

 

The film is at almost $520M worldwide already on a $110M budget. It is definitely sitting pretty.

 

Peace,

Mike

Market's certainly open for one.

It certainly should breakout. No notable female targeted releases since 50 Shades and it's hard to imagine how they could have a more appealing cast to women of several ethnicity and age demos.

Honestly, if Solo causes Disney to realize  their 2019 slate is a mess, then it died for a noble cause. They're shaving a ton of money off of about 5 releases in that Mar-July span with the idiotic way they scheduled such massive tentpoles so close together. 

3 May - Avengers

10 May - Pikachu

24 May - Aladdin

24 May - Minecraft

31 May - Godzilla

7 June - X Men Gambit

7 June - Secret  Life of Pets

14 June - Men in Black

21 June - Toy Story 4

5 July - Conjuring

5 July - Spider-Man

12 July - Top Gun

19 July - Lion King

2 August - X Men New Mutants

2 August - Fast & Furious 9

 

Assuming those release dates hold... that's a very busy summer. Disney does have all the biggest films though.

 

Although this May has been busy, the summer as a whole is really not that bad. Not as bad as 2016 where all the franchises released everything and it just kind of caved in on itself like a chain reaction and everything flopped.

And this isn't even including any of the smaller mid-budget movies.

Disney could have an easy fix to their whole 2019 slate I've previously outlined. Though it hinges on them moving IX back a full year, which could in and of itself be the easiest fix to the SW problem right now.

Think Avengers will go back a week

Expected number for Avengers. GotGV2 has been a really accurate comparison so far. IW will break away from it this weekend though because it won't be facing a huge opener this weekend, whereas GotGV2 faced the $103M opening of WONDER WOMAN last year.

That was its 5th weeknd. This is IW's 6th. You're right it will break away though, since it won't have as good of a hold as GotG2's 35%, since it's virtually impossible for holdovers to drop sub 40% the weekend after MD.

Mad Max Fury Road dropped 42.5% the weekend after MD. I'm not saying that IW is going to drop that well but I really don't see why it's going to fall off a cliff when literally every single weekend IW has had great drops. And it's weekday drops this week indicate another solid hold for it especially with literally no competition this weekend (which usually has competition)

Yeah it's ridiculous. Warner Bros nabbed that first weekend in November slot for WONDER WOMAN 2 as well, otherwise I'd say move the Homecoming sequel there. That, or the 1st weekend of August, but that slot is packed too (NEW MUTANTS, F&F spinoff).

 

Maybe just move THE LION KING back a year. I don't know....
