KP1025 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Easter Monday is a public holiday in Canada. I think some places in the U.S. have schools off too. Zootopia only dropped 20% from Sunday on the same day. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I know that a 20% drop on the same day has happened to another film, I'm seeing the 55% drop in a whole new light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Isn't Easter kind of late this year? Makes me wonder why Endgame wasn't just pushed back an additional week. Would be an insane Thursday preview, Friday gross and Easter Monday. We've seen the boost that weekend gave Furious 7 and BvS in the very recent past. Actually kind of boggles my mind that it isn't being released then the more I think about it. Edited March 12, 2019 by JohnnyGossamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they should move EG a week to April 19 (Easter Friday). But many Catholics also do pilgrimage or other traditions during Easter, so some don't have time to watch movies even if they want to.

Johnny Tran Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I don't know about Canada but most kids do not have that Monday off from school. Allow me to expand on this. It's not a Federal holiday. Some kids have the day off but it's a very small percentage. It's not widely observed at all.

JohnnyGossamer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Both Dumbo and Shazam! with impressive buzz now. Not to mention Us sitting at 100% with an 8.2 average rating at RT. Box office is about to light up. Cap Marv is doing her thing in a big, big way. Us will at minimum open big. Dumbo and Shazam I think will each do $75M+ OW DOM and have legs. And, of course, Endgame due out in just over a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) 10 to 11 is a good Monday. Not awe-inspiring, not concerning in any way. Edited March 12, 2019 by Thanos Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Spring breaks definition is: falls a week in March or April which includes Easter holidays https://www.edarabia.com/school-holidays-united-states/ Depeding on which date Eastern falls, there are all-year-around a lot of state holidays, depending on which film and state / states, it can have an impact too, depending on which ones (excluding small population states e.g. Alaska). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those would have been bad, but were so early I’m not sure if estimate is even the right word. Must have been based mostly off presale data for Monday, which can tell you something and I don’t mind getting the super early guesses at all but they come with way larger confidence intervals than a number around 10 PM Eastern.

It’s totally normal for a daily thread to get started from estimates, in the past it happened most weekdays the first week after a blockbuster opening when Rth dropped by. Charlie’s late in the day numbers are also pretty reliable, so I think a lot of daily threads the past 2-3 weeks or so have been started based on them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
