18-19 would be 95-105% bump from 9.25 Thu

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Hopefully on the higher side of RTH's range but a decent number regardless

[DAJK]

Anyone seen that Ben Affleck Netflix film? Can’t remember what it’s called but I was wondering if it was worth checking out.

If it was on a big screen, I'd probably catch Triple Frontier. With it on Netflix. I will be watch but I'm in no rush.

It isn't bad. There's about 20-30 mins where it gets really good and then it goes back to average.

Someone give me a clear extrapolation based on this number for the weekend total.

Looking like a range between 68-75M. Really depends on that Friday number

[Mulder]

Looking at this weekend and seeing how well HTTYD3 seems to be holding up against Wonder Park, I feel like it's going to surpass HTTYD2 most likely.

[Legion Again]

Should be 71+-2.5ish imo, can’t give a particularly narrow range until Saturday is known pretty closely. (~30 hrs)

Hoping to catch a movie tonight. Anyone who's seen Greta or Captive State, those any good?

 

EDIT: Oh, maybe also The Upside. There's a theater near me still playing that

Greta is worth it just for Huppert.

I think it'll pull 75M thanks to Sat jump and Sun hold. MCU movies are Sat players with good Sun drops.

Generally, I agree in the sense that if week after week everything is performing just as it was predicted to without any variation that box office can feel “stale”. However, I do like using opportunities like that to refine my abilities to follow the tracking metrics or even develop my own in order to hopefully become a better predictor. In that sense, it makes it even more exciting when something like Avatar or Black Panther or even to a lesser degree The Upside come around and defy traditional box office wisdom.

Hit the nail on the head! Observing trends and comparing them to past movies has been good for my box office education. In that sense it's good when movies follow a pattern. Then you'll have your movies that veer wildly of course and that's the point: no matter how good you are at box office you're not going to be able to predict those, unless you're an Rth or Charlie Jatinder with access to actual data).
