Poppins above Aquaman? 
And Spider Verse above Bumblebee?

Those results shocked me, too.

The Mule and Vice were about even yesterday at my theater because they were both in similar-sized auditoriums (neither movie got close to the biggest auditoriums anywhere - those were all given to the big movies from last weekend) so it makes sense the grosses are too.

Is the Vice number including Tuesday night previews?

Lets not get overexcited. Its jump is extremely good of course, but it may very well loose some steam when the holidays are over.

 

300M looks better than ever, but im not sold on anything higher than the 320-360M range quite yet. Which is still amazing for an Aquaman movie.

I think he meant 500M WW.

Christmas Day was good to many films from the looks of things. If MP goes up a bit higher (ala AQM) then it might get close to 12m for yesterday. Either way anything over 11m is amazing - when you consider the last 5ish days (Christmas Eve was also good in comparison.)

 

Shame that Holmes & Watson is so terrible cause with that opening day it could have eventually challenged 100m.

DHD providing the deets on H&W

 

Sony’s Holmes & Watson landed fourth on Christmas with $6.4M, however audience gave the Will Ferrell and John. C. Reilly PG-13 comedy a D+. which is lower than Ferrell’s Zoolander 2 (C+) and Land of the Lost (C+). PostTrak was worse with a 1/2 star. and a 28% definite recommend.

 

Over six days, Sony is projecting $18M-$20M, which by the way would be more than last holiday season’s comedy Father Figures, which tanked with a final gross of $17.5M. We’ll see if Holmes & Watson makes it that far given its audience scores. 

 

We had heard for quite some time that test scores for Holmes & Watson were so bad that Sony tried unloading the movie to Netflix, but they wouldn’t buy it. The Culver City lot kept the movie, and opted to do the best that they could do with it, and sold down their share on the movie with Mimran Schur Pictures taking a minority stake. Males 25+ showed up at 39%, F25+ 38%, M25- 14% and F25- 9%. Holmes & Watson cost $42M net per the studio, and if this film has any shot of making its money back, it has to be stateside and in English-speaking territories offshore (maybe Germany) which is where comedy works.

I checked through history, no film ever(except AVATAR), can gain 100% increase if their Christmas eve had 10m in hand.

It just too difficult to increase 100% on CD when your base is so huge.

Aquaman just repeat that feat since Avatar. 

Wow this makes a lot of sense. Grace Randolph compared Aquaman to Avatar - saying that it’s visually similar.  So can we expect 2 billion minimum

[Krissykins]

Yikes, Holmes and Watson is a Christmas turkey. Audiences despise it, a half star??! Half of a Star? Haha

 

Or a lump of cinematic coal 😂😂

Netflix learned their lesson after Cloverfield Paradox.

 

I read some anecdotal bits that there were Trump supporters laughing at all the garbage humor in the movie until it took jabs at Trump. And then they hated the movie.

Holmes & Watson is lucky it opened on Christmas Day because that guaranteed it would have at least one good day its entire run. I doubt it even crosses $45M total.

nice to see Mary Poppins doing good numbers after that mediocre opening 

 

Now let's see if Mary can go for $216M+ and become Disney's 4th biggest movie in the states this year
