There are some holding out for $450M DOM.

Well a 160M opening with good legs would make it a possibility.

"A" Cinemascore?  160M Estimated Weekend?

 

 

[Ryan Reynolds]

still looks like Disney can take the top 5 domestic, with TLK, EG, SW8, F2 being in 500m+ club and TS4 and CM in 400m club, but there is room for something to move in the 5th spot

Fans have been driving this ship all along, so yeah I'd say it is. To say the #AlitaChallenge has zero to do with our love of the movie is quite offensive.

Do you even know what the #AlitaChallenge is? How it originated? People who take it may love Alita, sure, but that's not why this particular embarrassing challenge came into being in the first place.

It's a little weird that a movie that's focusing on a female lead on International Women's Day is more male skewed than usual.

A shame cause Alita does deserve more love at the box office but the trolls had to pit it against a Marvel movie of all things.

That HTTYD3 drop.

The funny thing is I kinda liked Alita but the trolls soured me on it. 

[Zakiyyah6]

The Alita challenge didn't do anything? What a shocker!

I still think Alita's good but a select few have also turned me off of it.

Considering that Captain Marvel plays into its own demographic, an under 50% drop for HTTYD3 would be fantastic.

[Rorschach]

It really saddens me to see a film I love so much become the unwanted poster child for some stupid and downright deplorable cause. Just depresses me to no end 😞

I'd give this a like if I wasn't out, because it's honestly a shame.

And yet somehow only white males are the problem and are trolling this movie. I wonder how many white males are going to the cinema and paying money for this? Probably the biggest percentage of the audience.

I just read the story, and and I got to say, boy did it take a fucking weird left turn. I was not expecting that at all.
