sucks it had to lose so many theaters in US considering how shitty most of new movies are doing. Is 700M still in play? 

God, I hope so!! Don't fail us South Korea and Japan!🤞🏾

Holy shot. Potential flat out flop?

Bumblebee probably bombed as hard as well, and it will get saved by China like Spider-Verse. Mary Poppins won't even have China for the rescue.

 

Edit: Bumblebee did 31M OS, could be worse I guess, but idk how many markets this opening covers.

Agreed - $137M budget before PA according to Deadline...they had to be hoping tracking wasn't really gonna be where they ended up in their DOM OW...

Yeah, so far the local who booked both has dropped ME to 2 showings starting Dec 25 (and only 1 on Dec 27, since its showing gets pulled for They Shall Not Grow Old), but has kept the full screen for Marwen through Dec 27 (my other local was smart enough to never book Marwen, so they are feeling pretty good, I think:)...I'm not sure Marwen will still have it on Dec 28 though...anything would be better than what that is, even if it's giving Ralph or even Grinch back showings b/c families will show for animated, at least on days off...

 

PS - On Dec 27, that theater is one row from selling out its 4th 1pm for TSNGO...and I looked and Second Act and Marwen have sold nothing at their 1pms...I'm wondering if they try to yank both those 1pms away (they took Grinch, Ralph, ME, and The Mule 1pms so far:)...

Most theaters I'm seeing have already made their schedules for next weekend. That could change of course now that Marwen is a horrendous bomb. I know last year my AMC dropped Wonder at the Christmas onslaught then got it back right before the new year because Daddy's Home and Ragnarok weren't doing much business.

If Beale Street Could Talk saw a sizeable drop this weekend but it only added 1 theater. We’ll see how it does when it expands to 65 on Christmas Day.

 

Ben is Back had a somewhat decent expansion losing only a little over 50% of its PTA despite adding between 5-6 times the theaters. Should continue to post respectable numbers throughout the holidays too so we’ll see what Lionsgate plans to do with it.

Japan alone will take it there. 

They continue to push this movie after 2 months of release with Christmas and New year holiday coming 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Damn, Bohemian Rhapsody's show in 25 minutes is sold out (granted it's a 40 seat auditorium but still). Getting rid of it on Tuesday while keeping Grindelwald was a bad move on the theater's part lol. It'll be back soon enough I'm sure.

200m not locked 

 

It definitely dropped harder than I expected this weekend. Only $500,000 aead of Coco at the same point in its run now (and losing ground), and that added another $48 million after its 5th weekend. Will need a big holiday boost if it wants to cross $200 million.

 

Grinch also dropped harder than I expected for a holiday film given this is the last weekend before Christmas.

My theater is keeping it for all day and already has sold out some of the shows on Christmas (even if it’s in one of the smallest theaters). I have to imagine Fox will push it past $200M by the end.

Ouch! Everything is beating JL...

Mods, can we stop this tired conversation? This ain't the BVS/JL thread.

 

I'll be handing out bans myself if this shit continues.

Let’s.

 

This is not the DC thread. Aquaman opened. That’s it.

 

Knock this shit off. Now.

Julie Andrews towers over global box office for third consecutive weekend.

Silly money for BR. It looked like such a hot mess before release.

The 20plex in Tallahassee is dumping Bohemian Rhapsody/Aquaman (the latter will still have 12 shows per day lol) and Green Book/Deadpool on Tuesday. There's still a screen with Grindelwald/Creed (plus one Bumblebee show in the morning), and Instant Family has Ralph's late show spot. Otherwise, everything else is fairly normal. I'm sure if theaters knew Mortal Engines would drop nearly 80% they would've dumped that instead of something like Bohemian

One thing I don't understand, Can 20th fox keep the theater for BR? They have nothing new to offer in this season, but that thousand theater loss is a wonder to me.

I think finally DC have a winner. 

This movie going to be huge at the end and after finally seeing, my first thought was "I want more"

I seem to recall a DC movie last year that was pretty well liked

I feel like Mortal Engines flopping as hard as it is while still maintaining so many theaters due to the two week contract extending to Christmas answers the question for those who ask why they always overstuff the last few weeks of December. It means theaters can hold on to your megaflops through the new year even if they are playing to mostly empty auditoriums.

[grim22]

Holy shit at the Mortal Engines numbers. It's not even going to be in enough screens to enjoy any type of holiday boost. Probably a wrap up under 20M domestic.
