i just watched a chat show with Brie Larson, damn. Is she on drugs? Or has the empowerment of this movie gone to her head? She looks like a robot.

My first favourite weekend thread was Freddy Vs Jason in 2003 on BOM. 

 

@baumer, remember? 😍

 

Oh wow!  That was a blast, wasn't it?

The Jungle Book and IT were also a surprise breakouts

My only successful club on this forum was my IT over $100M OW.

I don't see CM dropping into the $30-millions on Sunday. I can see it doing around $43 million.

I thought most people were pegging It for a break out after the trailer views?

Depends on how big of a breakout we are talking about. My $100M OW club for it had way more people out than in for it. With most folks having it open in the $60-70M range. Which I guess technically is a breakout for a horror movie but no where near what it actually did.

Faster...Higher...Crumbling!

Saturday final around $52.75-53mn.

88.8M OW for Captain Marvel in China is under Wonder Woman's total in China of 90M. was hoping it do more than 90M but oh well still a huge opening. 

 

[Avatree]

The Jungle Book, It, Fast and Furious 7, Jurassic World, Secret Life of Pets, 50 Shades,

I would say these are all good recent examples of films that already had big positive expectations for opening weekend but still broke out further and went well beyond those predictions.

Those pesky pre-sales! Lol. I hope the next MCU film will have mediocre pre-sales so that we won't expect much for its OW and then we get excited once the figure is higher than we expected. I hate the feeling of expecting higher because of huge pre-sales and then suddenly becoming disappointed once the predictions start to go lower and lower and lower.

The Incredibles 2 can also be counted as breakout.

WW, Frozen was one of the biggest surprises of the decade for me. Basically doubled my expectations (was expecting around Tangled numbers at best).

Wow CM in China already passed what Alita did in the US

[a2k]

HTTYD3 needs to add 3.91x (57.5) this weekend (14.7) to get over HTTYD2. Think it will fall short.

The next one is Avengers, for God's sake

 

But yeah, after all of the initial tracking and expectations, it is a slight bummer that Captain Marvel didn't make 90 in China.... that being said, it's still a huge result, bigger than Black Panther and Homecoming, and it's a hit regardless. Not all of them are gonna be Venoms and Aquamans over there. (I actually liked Aquaman more than CM, btw....... haven't seen Venom yet).

The Greatest Showman has The Greatest Run from my conscious lifetime.
