$250M-plus should happen considering competitions are so weak in the next 2 weeks. $280M-plus can be expected.

Boring week-end you say, the week-end we learned Aquaman was gonna make 1B WW ?

Deadline is reporting weekend numbers of $178K for Mary Queen of Scots ($44,500 PTA), $114K for Vox Lux ($19K PTA), and $83K for Ben is Back ($20,750 PTA). Solid for Mary but with only decent reviews and zero awards prospects aside from possible tech noms it’s probably not gonna go too far. The other two are looking to be nonstarters, which was expected for Vox Lux (given what a tough sell it is) but too bad for Ben is Back (which probably should’ve been a wide release out the gate).

Aquaman probably could have done well this weekend opening and be fine over Christmas, but then it misses out on a pretty much exclusive run in IMAX over the holidays. WB would rather have the latter

The race at the top is totally not a surprise - The Star came in for a 9% drop this weekend last year...I'd look for The Grinch to pass Ralph the next 2 weekends...and then to drop behind it rapidly on the Dec 28 weekend... (really on Dec 26th weekdays onward).  Look for Ralph to get 1/2 screened while the Grinch keeps a full one on Dec 21 at smaller theaters...and then for theaters to switch that set on Dec 25:)...

There hasn't been a full scale flame war since the formation of the Fanboy thread.

A Star is Born is so close to $200m, if WB wanted to, they could fudge it with either The Mule or Aquaman but it’ll likely get there with expansions and holidays

[MrGlass2]

Aquaman $20M over top 12 DOM combined.

Sureshot $250mn plus for Aquaman in China. I won't be surprised with $300mn. ffs it has a 9.5 Maoyan score, over 3.25x weekend in full run is almost there.

Yeah, Ralph is going to get split screened at midsize theaters. Hypothetical 12plex:

 

Aquaman x2

Mary Poppins x2

Bumblebee

Spider-Verse

Marwen

Second Act

The Mule

Mortal Engines

The Grinch

Ralph/Creed

 

Once Holmes and Watson opens, the Ralph/Creed screen will go. If Vice is going wide enough to hid 10-12 screen theaters, The Grinch probably goes split screen with Mortal Engines.

Was busy with 2.0 so couldn't focus on North America box office. 2.0 kind of did better than I was hoping, but its bomb anyway.

Spider Verse next weekend 😎
