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.

Green Book's worldwide total has been even more impressive. Almost $250M worldwide so far for something that, on paper, would seem to struggle anywhere outside of the U.S.

Trolls:

 

WOOOAAHHHHHHHH it fell from 61M to 19M????? Must be awful WOM!

 

Real talk:

 

Great number. Bodes very well for a 70M weekend if Sat delivers the goods.

 

they will still find a way to spin that

Should get to 70M with that.

19.05M

30.5M (+60.15)

21M (-31.5%)

(70.55)

Which would mean that their still would be no movie between 65.3 and 70.5M (though right now that gap is up to Spider-Man with 71.417M)

The second weekends are quite interesting.

TFA as a gigantic frontrunner

Four movies between 103 and 115M

B&tB with 90.4M (I didn't remember that it was this big).

I2 with 80.3M

Than 10 movies between 78 and 71M

And then below 65.3M all other 2nd weekends.

My guess is that they will target the Fri-Fri drop, which is ALWAYS bad for everything since the opening Friday includes previews.

$29-29.5mn Approx Saturday as per early morning readings.

That’s a good opening for Five Feet Apart, which I had never heard of until Friday, I thought the trailer was cute. 

 

Hopefully now the babysitters are called in for next weekend and the adults show up for US

So more like $68m than $70m now. Deadline made a good guess. 

 

-55% or -56%

I want to be wrong today with these early numbers. Need that $30mn plus Saturday. Let's see if it improves. Will check at 9am PST.
