If you count re-releases Return of the Jedi is at 310mil so 8.

I don't think people mean legs overall, the drop to second-weekend thread was pretty big with -62%.

But the multiplier of the second weekend is quite nice (the number is (final - first week)/2nd Weekend, that means it added the multiplier-1 after the second weekend)

THG 3.72x (58.6M -61.6%)

 

B&tB 3.05x (90.4M -48.3%)

TA 3.4x (103M -50.3%)

JW1 3.34x (106.6 -49%)

BP 3.65x (111.7M -44.7%)

 

Sequels:

TDKR 3.59x (62.1M -61.4%)

JW2 3.50x (60.9 -58.8%)

TDK 3.92x (75.2 -52.5%)

 

CM

AIW 2.97(114.8M -55.7%)

GOT2 3.17 (65.3M -55.5%)

 

There THG suddenly jumps ahead of every film but TDK.

Yeah this is why I also calculate when (day number) a movie hits 90% of its gross, it's another telling statistic. Multiplier doesn't tell how fast all that money was made after the first weekend, just that it was made and exists and is however times larger than the first weekend.

 

The Hunger Games was 37 days to hit 90% of its domestic gross.

 

Finding Dory has a better multiplier (3.6) (29 days) but Incredibles 2 took way more days (36 days) to hit 90% of its gross with a lower multiplier (3.33).

US opening weekend is flat out great. I think US does 67mil and Captain Marvel does 35mil.

Except it's Friday was more front loaded in comparison to previews than Halloween's (which did 7.7/33)

It is not going to have a 40% drop on Sunday, though. None of the top openers in March have that because there are various spring break times throughout the month. October has virtually no days off, so openers there have bigger Sunday drops on average.

Today CM will become MCU's 13th movie to cross 300M DOM. After the release of S:FFH in July, they'll be 15 out of 23. Pixar I think is 2nd with 5 movies over 300 and DCEU with 4.

13 out of 21 is 61.9% of all MCU movies above 300M.

 

From all franchises (no sub-franchises) with 3 or more movies and at least one film above 300M unadjusted for inflation and not counting re-release money, the MCU as a whole ranks #5 all time:

1. The Hunger Games - 75% (3 out of 4 films - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire; The Hunger Games; The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1)
2. DC Extended Universe - 66.7% (4 out of 6 films - Wonder Woman; Aquaman; Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice; Suicide Squad)
3. Middle-Earth - 66.7% (4 out of 6 films - The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King; The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers; The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey)
4. Star Wars - 63.6% (7 out of 11 films - Star Wars: The Force Awakens; Star Wars: The Last Jedi; Rogue One: A Star Wars Story; Star Wars Ep. I: The Phantom Menace; Star Wars Ep. III: Revenge Of The Sith; Star Wars Ep. IV: A New Hope; Star Wars Ep. II: Attack Of The Clones)
5. Marvel Cinematic Universe - 61.9% (13 out of 21 films - Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, The Avengers, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Iron Man 3, Captain America: Civil War, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Captain Marvel)
6. Jurassic Park - 60% (3 out of 5 films - Jurassic World; Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom; Jurassic Park)
7. Pirates Of The Caribbean - 60% (3 out of 5 films - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men's Chest; Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End; Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl)
8. Spider-Man - 50% (3 out of 6 films* - Spider-Man; Spider-Man 2; Spider-Man 3)
9. Despicable Me - 50% (2 out of 4 films - Despicable Me 2; Minions)
10. Transformers - 42.9% (3 out of 7 films - Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen; Transformers; Dark Of The Moon; Transformers)

^{*I am not counting Homecoming as its main franchise is the MCU, not Spider-Man itself. Same for BVS and the Batman/Superman IP's.}

Great OD for Us and CM is holding well, sub 50% drop happening.

[LonePirate]

I wonder if A Madea Family Funeral has $11M left in its tank to pass A Madea Halloween to become the second highest grossing film in the franchise, behind Madea Goes to Jail ($90.5M). It will be close.

[terrestrial]

In Mendelson weekend estimates reaction for the holdovers he has some strange numbers, or maybe better said wordings flying around for CM

Titled:

'Captain Marvel' Is Soaring Past $300M Domestic And $850M Worldwide (Box Office) (I guess ww for Friday)

Quote

In holdover news for Friday, Captain Marvel earned another $9.226 million (-51%) on its third Friday to bring its cume up to $295.7m. It has passed the unadjusted domestic gross of Man of Steel ($291m in 2013) and will pass $300m domestic today. Barring a fluke in either direction, the MCU flick should earn another $35m (-48%) this weekend to bring its 17-day cume up to $321m. That's a slightly bigger drop than the 45% fall I was expecting, but Us is proving to be a super-duper powerhouse.

Nonetheless, the Brie Larson flick will end the weekend above the unadjusted grosses of Iron Man 2 ($312 million in 2010), Thor: Ragnarok ($315m in 2017) and Iron Man ($318m in 2008). The film has earned over $140m in China toward its current $539m overseas cume. We can expect a worldwide total of well over $860m (past Thor: Ragnarok and Venom) and possibly over Spider-Man 3 ($890m).

hmmm I guess he means ww total of.... including Sunday

 

So, is it written sloppy or is my English to bad ans I miss here something?

[Webslinger]

Awesome start for Us. It's not often that a director's name carries an original film so high, but Jordan Peele was in a perfect position to do so after the love Get Out got on all fronts. It also helps that the studio ran a marketing campaign that hit the right notes at every turn.
