 Sorry, for going off topic, but I had a quick question about Box Office Mojo's numbers in Belgium and I wasn't sure where to ask.   (My sister lives in Belgium, which is why I am interested)

 

For two week in Belgium ("February 20-24" and "February 27-March 3"), Alita Battle Angel disappears from Box office Mojo's numbers.  Is this normal?  Also, why does it happen?  Thx

Alita disappears

(Note:  Is there is a better place or way to ask this type of question, please let me know.)

Take BOM territory charts with a grain of salt, the vast majority are incomplete. there very few territories they get complete or near complete charts. Most of the time its either data the studio/distributor has given on a title or they have found it from some other source. Yeah the two weeks you mention Alita missing it was #1 also example in chart 20-Feb Glass is #6 it was actually #15 for the weekend(so 8 other films missing). Also note that they don't have a numbering system in the TW (This week)column meaning they actually don't know the proper ranking as they have incomplete data.

DAMN! Those are great numbers for both films (right?)!

[MrGlass2]

$70M locked?!

[a2k]

US

29.1 [7.4 + 21.7]

26.0 (-11%) [+20%]

19.5 (-25%)

= 74.6

 

CM

9.23

15.50 (+68%)

10.39 (-33%)

= 35.12 (-48.35%)

Definitely. 27 would probably put Us on the upper end of 70 mil, which would be huge.

Hoping for a bit more out of CM, but 15.5 would be fine.    

 

Pretty great for Us.

I infer your reaction is supposed to suggest that we should be thrilled with a +68%, @fabiopazzo2? Not really supported by historical data, it would be in line with or only slightly above what should have been expected.

I agree with you. 

My initial prediction for Cm was low 30 so 35/36M is not bad imho 

[IceFire9yt]

35-36 is a decent number for CM.  GOTG2's 2nd weekend drop was 46.7% against weaker competition, so this would be as good or a hair worse.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Excellent numbers for Us and Cap Marv.

Considering the overperformance of US, this hold is strong. It keeps CM on track to make more than WW domestic.

Some of you guys are really hard to please. A CBM is gonna make $35-36M against stiff competition and yet it feels all doom and gloom

US was phenomenal, still trying to figure out wtf I just saw though

Yeah this. Spring break will inflate dailies soon enough and double features with Dumbo will help too.

That's what I love about this film. Peele makes his audience think and come to their own conclusions about the meaning of his films. Movies like this make you go home and think and it stays with you for a long time.

While I agree with everything you’ve said, what if I told you that Captain Marvel would still do just fine without spring break and/or double features with Dumbo
