All holdovers lost screens. Jump in same playing theatres was 100% plus as the norm.

Also, CM got a weak Monday hold compared to the rest, and that usually translates to a bigger Friday jump.

The Mustang got off a decent start. The Aftermath is looking to go nowhere though.

But BP was in my POV more an intro to Wakanda than an intro to BP, who we met in CA:CW first = not meant in any way negativly to the lead.

BP the movie is also about a lot of very impressive and very memoable female characters

 

Not important imo. It was a Superhero movie that ultimately focused on one lead - the titular character. And BP's cameos in Civil War were more meant to tease the character to the viewers, his proper introduction was certainly his own solo movie.

 

Otherwise Captain Marvel too shoudnt be counted as a solo SH, which doesnt make sense.

it's more to do with competition than ending. I think that it was losing screens and theaters cause more stuff was released. BP had the benefit of slower months. 

Detective Pikachu 2 weeks after EndGame, let's see how it performs.

Looks like CM will do around $65m weekend with that Friday number

I have not seen it yet, but this seems to be one of the few oscar movies the audience embraced in the last few years.

Even with that Oscar BP win, GB still didn't managed to break 100m despite have major studio back. If Harvey Weinstein were here to distribute, GB can easily hit 100m.

lol if Weinstein were still around and had distributed Green Book it would've been lucky to have been released at all.

OT, but Ive watched Kill Bill Volume 1 last weekend and when "distributed by The Weinstein Company" and "produced by Harvey Weinstein" came up, it does certainly feel weird.

Captain Marvels Wednesday to Friday increase is bigger than IW and Black Panther...could be walkup heavy over the weekend

I wanna beat Civil War, but I’ll wait another 12 hours, see if it still looks reasonable.

[charlie Jatinder]

In India  we measure openings in morning in term of % and on that basis the day one estimates are in around 11-12 AM IST. I am trying to do the same here.

E.g. CM had 50-55% opening in India, with full day capacity of around ₹26cr. From that considering how films like it perform throughout the day, I estimated ₹15.5-16cr opening day during the first show itself. Actual day one was ₹15.56cr.

EG will make 2 billie by that time so it can afford to collapse to zero when Pika Pika mania sweeps the world. 

 

CM is not making under 70M this weekend. Today will jump over 30M, and tomorrow will have soft drop.
