@DeeCee @aabattery can you help @Nero with dp. I can't seem to help him.

+100%, -35% on Sat, Sun will give Dragon3 

6.3 + 12.6 + 8.2 = 27.1 weekend

Lego2 did >100% bump but Dragon3 doesn't skew as young so 25-26 could be realistic.

 

+85%, -35% on Sat, Sun will give Alita

1.7 + 3.1 + 2.0 = 6.8

Last Sat was +77%. If it stays close to that then 6.5+ is a good target.

Yikes at that Dragon drop with no new direct competition. Not good. 

 

I agree, box office is so weird this year. 

They killed the box office when they killed moviepass!

Man I wish I had a movie pass 😢. It's not available here.

I thought it was totally gone by now, am so wrong?

I saw Greta yesterday and it's a very very effective thriller. It's got the same blueprint as room. I really really despised the antagonist in the movie and when you leave the theater you realize that these kinds of things actually happened all around the world. I'm sure many of you don't have Greta on your radar because there's been very little advertising for it but if you want to see a really good thriller please go check it out.

He's from India. He wishes that something like that was here too. I guess

No I meant in my country (city) where I live. I believe that it was cancelled in America.

Yeah. People are so casual here about watching movies they don't watch lot of movies at theatres. I believe average 15 movies a year would be my guess

It's around 3-5, I think. Charlie has the data. Cities have higher of course.

If there's a Carnival cinema near you, you can watch any number of films in weekdays by Rs. 400 p.m.

No Carnival near me and the Paytm thing is only for one watch which doesn't make that much difference. For two movies I generally spend Max 300 Rs. I mostly watch morning shows so ticket is cheap if I go by PayTm method I will have to spend extra

Ugly opening for Greta.

It could've fared worse. I actually saw a lot of ads for it recently but the reviews were on the mixed side and the movie looked more campy than creepy (the clip of that scene in the restaurant makes me chuckle every time I see it). Oh well, good for Huppert getting the chance to headline a wide multiplex release, at least.

What is that? Ive only seen Ben-Hur, that was also about the roman empire a bit (i assume this "Empire Strikes Back" movie also is set during roman empire times?). But it was boring.

 

Everything pre 2000 is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring.

You literally stole my joke answer.

 

@DeeCee @aabattery @grim22 can you pls ban That One Guy? Joke answers is the only thing what is left for me in this miserable life. I wont let anyone take them from me.

Asking what Gone With the Wind is would be like going to a Magic game and legitimately asking “Who’s this Michael Jordan guy and why does he get to have his own sneaker brand?”

The soft second weekend hold seems to be becoming more and more of a unicorn. Unless it’s a holiday or it opened sub 30m or something, seems like everything drops 50%+ now no matter what.
