Rooting for 4m Friday/11m+ weekend for Klansman. Focus would be wise to give it a few more hundred theaters next week, and with WOM and Labor Day approaching a $50m total is a possibility.

Yeah, the multiplier they're predicting looks low. I doubt this is in any way frontloaded.

ugh HUGE drop for MI F

 

 

Mission: Impossible – Fallout which is looking at a third weekend of $17M, -52% for a running total by Sunday of $159M.

love always wrong Deadline's first numbers. Also, love when people don't stop to believe in it 

[WrathOfHan]

Strong numbers for all openers. As for MI, anything under 40% looked generous between the weekday holds and TC loss. I expect it to be sub-50% when newer numbers are in

[sfran43]

Deadpool has also ended its run

Black Panther has officially ended its theatrical run!!

 

For this occasion, here's how it compares domestically in unadjusted first runs >$600M (I2 likely to cross eventually):

yeah, it makes sense. altho it held pretty good thursday.

 

next week is gonna take another hit with Mile 22 as direct competition.

I'll talk about MI6 friday numbes and weekend when we get actual Friday numbers. It's still early.

The buzz around Mile 22 has been really quiet so it likely won't hurt too much.

[MrPink]

I think realistically, MI will probably be around 19m coming off a 3.34 Thursday when it's all said and done. Mile 22 won't hurt it too much. After that, things look pretty dead for a good couple weeks.

Christopher Robin reported at (-51%) 

- could be (-51%) too from preview boosted Friday, but that would make a 4.7 Friday

 

Mission 6 reported at (-52%) on the weekend

- (-52%) from last Friday is 4.7

Mile 22 has bad, bad pre-sales, don't see here a serious competitor.

I need MI6 to be in the twenties. That’s a harsh drop. Why?

Competition from a stronger than expected The Meg and losing all of its IMAX/PLF screens.

IMAX and PLF Screen loss. Last year, during WW's run, the only harsh drop it had was when it lost IMAX and PLF to a weak TF5. IMAX contributes a lot to the blockbusters.

300.000 less than IronMan 1

 

Fantastic number for this sequel

[Jonwo]

I wonder if CRA can do $30-35m for the five days? 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Deadpool movie	90% of Gross on Day	Multiplier (DG ÷ FW)	Domestic Gross	First Weekend
Deadpool (Feb. 2016)	31	2.74	$363.1M	$132.4M
Deadpool 2 (May 2018)	29	2.53	$318.1M	$125.5M

 

Lower, but not that inconsistent.

Loss of all PLF screens + a piece of direct action competition opening way stronger than expected.

[PenguinHyphy]

Those numbers for BlacKkKlansman and for Mission Impossible: Fallout look way too low. It is best to wait for the actual Friday numbers because those multipliers are just too strange. The Meg is probably going to be way more front loaded, too, and if they are right about that $178,000,000 production cost, then whoever let it get that high is irresponsible.
