About 11 million Saturday. 22 percent drop from Friday. The matinees were strong and then it collapsed at night it seems. The Friday acted more like an event than we thought it would but I still think it will have legs in the coming weeks. 

After seeing the movie, I'll be very surprised if it doesn't have good legs. It's definitely a joyous blast of energy, probably even more than the first was.

Hmm wonder if actuals will push FK over I2...

This turned out to be a pretty interesting weekend after all. A close finish at the top with a surprise winner. Strong holds from pretty much all of the holdovers except last weekend's openers. There's plenty of variety in the marketplace right now which is good for the industry and moviegoers alike.

47% drop is a very good hold for HT3 as a three-quel in July, and it had previews unlike the previous ones. Gonna go past 150 with ease imo and is targetting 160.

The fact that two movies aimed at older adult audiences combined for $70M this weekend is quite an achievement. Studios really should take this as a sign to put more counterprogramming in the summer. First Man in particular would've killed as a summer release.

600 million for I2 is happening. These holds have just been too good

I don't see it being as strong as the original's OW legs but a 4 multi is achievable.

28.7 away from Wonder Woman. Needs to add 2.61x this weekend to it's current total to acheive that looks likely. Hopefully it holds well against MI6. Will be fun if JW2 becomes the biggest non-Disney movie since JW1.

It's understandable why Universal put First Man in October, we've seen with films like Gravity and The Martian, that a good adult oriented blockbuster can be very leggy.

Though not as impressive as other Marvel films, it is still on a slow rollout so it's likely we'll see increases by August.
