After that ridicolously low OW forecast, they now expect ALITA to have the biggest drop in the Top 10 and fall like any other blockbuster? They underestimated the OW around 40%. Would be nice to see that again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sci-Fi and fanbase-driven propertys (especially those who are based on comics, mangas, other films etc) tend to have bad second weekend holds and generally supbar legs. So the prediction makes sense. Bear in mind, we all hope that Alita will have great legs and i personally believe that it can have a weekend hold in the -40% range. But BO.com predictions are largely based on historical examples so again, this makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop54 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Are they overlooking that Alita keeps many of her premium format screens this weekend? I believe they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the holiday weekend giving it a little boost on Sunday which it won’t have this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
