Here in the UK, the weekend drops for Endgame have been really heavy:

 

2nd weekend: -66.5%

3rd weekend: -67.5% 

 

 

I guess the 1st to 2nd might be heavy because the movie opened Wed night, making the 1st "weekend" pretty long!

 

Then the 2nd to 3rd might be heavy because the 2nd weekend was a holiday Monday, allowing Sunday nights to be stronger.

 

Also, yesterday was the end of the Premier League season so many people would not be drawn away from their TVs for any reason. 😁

Good to hear. 

Next Monday is a holiday here in Canada, so perhaps that will help soften the Sunday drop next week a little bit.

The only way we'll know if WB is satisfied is how quickly they green-lit and set a release date for the sequel

they green-lit the sequel in January and gave it a writer.

Nothing is set in stone until a release date is set

I was happy with Pikachu's performance this weekend. I wasn't expecting above $60M, but I was expecting higher OS numbers. It looks like this will just break even when you throw in the PA. But this doesn't change the fact that Pokemon is the world's highest grossing media franchise, who makes all their money on merchandise and video/card games. Good luck with the sequel!

Hopefully that terrible drop for Pikachu isn't a trend.

LOL it's not a terrible drop. They just overestimated mother's Day for it.

Not recently though. I've only been on for a few months. Should have been banned several times for his constant EG trolling

I know that but I still expected it to be under 30% because of Mother's Day.

Streaming content is the biggest source of revenue for a company like Disney, 

 

Revenu last year for disney:

Media network: 24.5 b

Parks: 20.3b

Studio ent: 10b

consumer product-interactive media: 4.65b

 

And they just expended their world media footprint by a lot and spent 70B on it buying Fox. Studios will try really hard for every dollar getting away from the 200 billion paid TV business to shift it and still make it over the top streaming (by distributing internet themselve or using that saving on their advantage), people will most likely pay the same if not more in most market than before when you consider their Internet service cost.

 

They can raise the price also I imagine.

how much % is Streaming from Media network?

Bulk is from cable fees, then advertising.

 

Disney+ doesn't need to make money. Espn streaming does and I believe it will.

Where's the appeal for moms to go see a Pokemon movie?

It went up! Nice.

May be its strategy of WB to go optimistic with the estimates. More often than not their films drop from estimates
