Weekend Thread 11/16 - 11/18 - Grindelwald $25.7M Friday, Instant Family at $4.5M Friday

[Zakiyyah6]

I'm not worried about A Star is Born because it is already a hit. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Wasn't last weekend's Sunday inflated by the proxy of a holiday Monday? Plus a myriad of new releases flooding theaters, the whole blizz apocalypse in the West Coast, and with next week being Thanksgiving I guess people might wanna save up. Every holdover (except The Grinch) dropping big time makes sense to me for those reasons.

Harry Potter is so boring to me that it's difficult for me to even discuss it's boring numbers that much. I'll just say that it's not going to be the franchise WB wants it to be. If they can start lowering the budgets and keep their expectations in check, things should turn out okay.

Last Sunday had slightly muted drops.  ASIB was 31.3% opposed to the week before with 38%.  That wouldn't account for an overall  48% drop this weekend

Veteran's Day was actually on Sunday this year but yeah.

[Nova]

Kinda sucks to see movies that are having great runs get ugly drops because of new releases. Happens all the time and I should be used to it by now but still sucks 

[Johnny Tran]

I've never seen a Potter film (or read the books) before, from doing some reading and talking to people it sounds like they are ready for sequels. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Great news. I'll be seeing Widows again with my friend while he's on thanksgiving break

I updated my original post adding other reasons why movies would drop worse than usual this weekend.

From what I know, if there's a Sunday holiday in America, Monday is officially assigned for observation and leave, so it might've as well been a holiday. I had the idea that VD was Monday itself tbh, with Nutcracker's Monday hold throwing me for a loop at the time.

Aren't Ralph, Creed 2 and war-hardened crusader flooding the theaters on Wednesday? So this weekend's new movies won't have even a full week to themselves.

I'm not the best at extrapolating numbers, but 2012 had the same calendar configuration, and its drops are nowhere near as bad-looking as what it seems like these will be at. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2012&wknd=46&p=.htm

 

Although to be fair, there was only one wide opener that weekend, while we have three 2,800+ openers this weekend.

Well, maybe this is an anomaly weekend. I think that the abundance of new movies coming out, plus the West Coast crippled by weather might've had a say in all of this.

PTA for all new movies is abysmal.
