2nd Update, Friday Midday: The post-Memorial Day weekend at the box office doesn’t have to be a downer. However, none of the majors wanted to take advantage of that opportunity and slot an event title here. Wonder Woman opened in this space a year ago and soared to a $103.2M opening and became the biggest grossing title of last summer stateside with $412.5M. We’re left with holiday leftovers in Disney’s disappointment Solo: A Star Wars Story which according to estimates is grounded with a $7.5M second Friday, -78% which translates into a $26M second weekend, -69% for a running total of $145.5M. Ouch. Hopefully we don’t see a summer downturn on par with last year.

 

 

Fox originally had Deadpool 2 set to open on this weekend, but wisely moved it prior to Solo, and the pic is still eating into the Lucasfilm title’s business with a weekend three of $20M-$21M, -53% which isn’t too bad when you consider it’s coming off a holiday weekend where Sunday was bulked up. DP2 is looking at $6M today and a running domestic total north of $252M. Some will argue that DP2‘s audience is so different from Solo‘s, but event films are event films, and a more general audience is clearly not going out of their way for the latest Star Wars movie.

 

 

Among the new stuff, STXfilms/Lakeshore’s Adrift is poised to take 3rd place with $4.3M today (including last night’s $725K) and an opening of $11M-$11.3M.

 

 

Paramount’s amusement park comedy Action Point looks condemned to less than $3M weekend, while BH Tilt’s Upgrade could actually beat it (which isn’t anything to crow about) with $3.4M-$3.6M.

Last Friday, I said Solo's issues reminded me of JL...earlier this week, I mentioned it now seemed like Alien:Covenant might be the better comparison...vs JL, Alien:C was a slightly better reviewed (critically and audience wise) prequel movie which never broke out beyond its small rabid fanbase and which had a rapid DOM BO fall after a disappointing start...

69% drop for Solo despite no competition and keeping IMAX and PLF screens? Lol

Would be worst than a 60% drop from the real FSS to FSS hold... quite bad.

I've seen 100M predictions a lot lately for lowkey movies like these, Breaking In, etc. It's only getting harder and harder for that to happen these days. Even those that do break out like A Quiet Place are usually within a currently popular genre.

If you looked closely during that movie, you could actually see Christopher Lloyd's career dying.

I predicted something like 140M for The House last year and I thought that was bad, but thank god for Action Point this year to show just how bad some people’s predictions can be
