I get the feeling Warner Bros wasn't expecting the reviews of Fantastic Beasts to be worse than The Meg! 

and it's tied with JL. same time last year. 40% critics and 74% aud RT for JL. FB2 is 40% critics with more reviews being added and audscore is 70% and sliding slowly but noticeably (started at 75%, the increased to 77% and now 70%).

The Meg overcame reviews the same reason Venom did. Nobody was expecting anything but dumb fun. People weren't expecting real quality movies so there was no reason to care about reviews. The Harry Potter franchise is not in the same position I don't believe. I'd be surprised if FB2 had anything but middling legs at this point. And probably lack luster legs in many overseas markets. It still won't be a flop but it will probably hurt the franchise.

People have high expectations from a franchise that didn't have a single movie with nothing but excellent word of mouth in 2 decades...

Life is so much easier when you are mediocre... :whosad:

It'll be enough for Warner Bros to make changes.

Friday and Saturday estimates reduced, Sunday increased. Total same.

 

don't wanna sound rude but the new drop is still 28%, close enough to estimated 30% vs being closer to 20% as your source seemed to indicate?

 

Date Rank Gross % Change Theaters Per Theater Total Gross Days
2018/11/16 1 $25,500,000   4,163 $6,125   $25,500,000 1
2018/11/17 1 $21,350,000 -16% 4,163 $5,129   $46,850,000 2
2018/11/18 1 $15,400,000 -28% 4,163 $3,699   $62,250,000 3

 

Edit: nvm, 28% drop on Sunday like you said!

I just hope it doesn't finish with a total less than The Meg ($143M) for their sake because that would be truly embarrassing. As it stands it's almost sure to finish with a total less than the opening weekend of Deathly Hallows Part 2 (a movie, I might add, that somehow looks highly accessible to Potter newbies in comparison to Fantastic Beasts 2) back in 2011.

It won't; Thanksgiving will really help it, and the fact that afterwards nothing opens until the 14th

Sunday reported gross is $10.5mn, -20% from Saturday. The overall drop could be 25% as night shows won't be as strong as Saturday. Heading for $16mn Sunday, for a weekend of $63.25mn.

He said 20% at the same time of day. 25% and then 28% was reported by him.

If people don't want to see the film they won't see it. It doesn't matter if nothing is coming out. And it has major comp during Thanksgiving. 

That's only true for really bad and boring films. Average and above, and entertaining movies are always helped by empty landscape.

Which camp fantastic beasts falls in,  IDK.
