TGS is corny af but still entertaining, so also superior to MP. And TGS has a killer very commercial soundtrack that sold millions across the world. No one will buy MPR soundtrack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP1025 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 2 hours ago, John Marston said: holy shit, Fantastic Beasts is dropping 70% this weekend and that officially kills off 200m for Ralph. Won't even pass the first. Not necessarily. Coco was in even less theaters at this point (2,111) and still managed to add more than $50 million. Ralph 2 is projected to outpace Coco this weekend, so it should add a similar amount to cross $200 million. Beating the first film is locked with upcoming holidays. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felandria Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Poppins was fantastic. Disney Springs is, as expected, going whole hog with it this weekend. Looking at Friday, six total screens out of 24, including the Dolby, the 583 seater and one of the two 300+ seaters, and 24 total showtimes. They only have three screens for Aquaman and 12 total showtimes, claiming the other 300+ seater. Two screens for Bumblebee and one each for Marwen, Mary Queen of Scots and Second Act, of course. Otherwise, they’re cleaning house, Green Book is gone as is everything below it except Favourite and Deadpool (which is gone after Monday anyway), second biggest surprise is no GB or Star is Born, biggest surprise is Grinch still has six shows a day on Tuesday and after.

Coco had pretty bad late legs, with back to back 46% drops in weeks 4 and 5. Ralph 2 could still miss $200 million if holiday bumps aren't as strong, but it's too early to call it dead based on its trajectory from this weekend (still running $2.3 million ahead of Coco at the same point in time).

No one will buy MPR soundtrack. The Greatest Showman soundtrack is #1 here in the U.K. It’s the longest running #1 album ever and hasn’t left the top 5 since this time last year. That’s a cultural phenomenon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daenys Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) https://deadline.com/2018/12/mary-poppins-returns-opening-box-office-1202522986/ Quote THURSDAY AM UPDATE/WRITETHRU: Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns is coming in around an estimated $4.8M for Wednesday after industry midday projections pushed the film significantly higher in the $7M-$8M vicinity. The sequel to the 1964 Oscar-winning musical led all titles yesterday. Disney will be reporting their official opening day figure later this morning. Box Office analysts were seeing pre-sales around mid-day, which puffed up estimates, with evening business tapering off. The fall-off in projections for Mary Poppins Returns has nothing to do with the movie, rather the time of year. Moviegoers and families are still distracted by pre-holiday activities. There was only 6% of K-12 schools off yesterday, and remember musicals leg out: Fox’s The Greatest Showman made 92% of its $174.3M domestic B.O. last year after Christmas (and largely without Oscar buzz, it only received a nom for best song). Those who showed up for Mary Poppins Returns last night enjoyed the Rob Marshall-directed musical with an A- CinemaScore and four stars on CinemaScore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak. Mary Poppins Returns was female heavy with 36% F25+ leading (they loved it the most at 91%), followed by F25- at 27%, M25+ at 24% and M25- at 14%. Family breakdown was 65% general audiences, 22% Kids, and 12% Parents. Other demos were 64% Caucasian, 19% Hispanic, 8% Asian and 4% African American. These demos will change as PostTrak polls throughout the weekend. Mary Poppins Returns‘ opening day is under the $7.2M Wednesday pre-Christmas opening for Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle last year as well as Disney’s Amy Adams 2007 musical Enchanted which opened the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to $7.96M, however, it’s 96% higher than the first day of The Greatest Showman a year ago ($2.45M). Greatest Showman‘s six-day opening was $19M. Mary Poppins is currently booked at 4,090 theaters. Tuesday night there were special Dolby auditorium previews at 250 sites, which Disney didn’t separately report. Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse filed second on Wednesday with $2.8M, -35% from Tuesday with a running six-day total of $45.2M. Warner Bros.’ The Mule was third with $1.8M, -37% for a six-day run of $23.9M. Aquaman and Bumblebee start their previews at 5PM tonight Edited December 20, 2018 by Daenys 1 2 8 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium George Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I feel TGSM and Jumanji are getting used alot as comp. Didn't they perform unlike any movie in this timeframe? Some more past movies should be used, specially movies with same calendar configuration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narniadis Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 That is a decisively mediocre number. I wasnt on the 400m train but 250+ is a stretch with that opening day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
