Bohemian Rhapsody climbing the chart this weekend, rocking past Venom and Solo. Hopefully WB leaves A Star Is Born in theaters another week so it can pass Solo and embarrass Lucasfilm even more.

Anything that can pass Solo, will pass Solo.......

Off-Topic: Is SOLO a good watch if you're not a Star Wars fan? The premise, the trailers, the lead guy playing Han Solo, nothing really caught my interest. The reviews and BO was also just kind of meh. Wanted to know if it would be worth my time?

Is $30m for Dragon 3 possible? Would be an insane recovery from that awful Friday.

Its a solid movie for Star Wars Fans. As a neutral watcher, you'd probably find many things overblown, unnecessary and boring i could imagine. Best performance is Donald Glover as Lando, but hes also just essentially imitating another performance. So i would always say give it a try, its a well-made movie with some nice action scenes, but it wont make you a Star Wars Fan imo.

I guess never underestimate the power of Saturday matinees for animated movies.

[MCKillswitch123]

GudDAYUM, that's a huuuuuge Saturday jump. I guess people aren't assed to see movies on Fridays anymore  Although HTTYD3 is a family film, so I guess people wanted to wait until their kids were out from school.

 

Alita is also headed for dat 40-to-sub-40% drop, looking good for around 85-90M DOM.

[baumer]

Alita's domestic numbers are really solid for the type of film it is.  The budget not withstanding of course.

Lego, Lego Batman and Petter Rabbit increased 215%+ on Friday, 120%-135% on Saturday, and dropped less than 35% on Sunday. 

Even with $6M on Friday. 

Saturday-$13. 2M(+120%) 

Sunday-$8.8M(-33%) 

$28M for HTTYD3.

Great number for Alita.

Thanks for the reply. Think I'll keep this in the queue a little while longer.

Alita and Captain Marvel would probably make for a great double-feature. Is that a possibility? I know they are from 2 different studios, but Fox is essentially Disney now, so maybe it could happen?

2.5-3x more the 30.05 weekend gives Dragon3 97.7 + 75.1-90.2 = 173-188

The 2nd one grossed 177M and 194M adjusted for inflation. Essentially matching the gross from the 2nd would be very good for a threequel.

That would be cool, though a lot of people on YouTube would hate the idea...
