Memorial Weekend Thread: 4-Day Actuals - Aladdin $116.81M | John Wick 3 $30.97M | Avengers Endgame $22.06M | Pokemon DP $17.25M

Booksmart grossed over 4.5 days what it should have grossed on Friday alone. Such a shame.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm super excited about the next two weeks gaining on last year in a very big way. 

First weekend of June last year had an overall box office total of 106 million. This year, the openers alone should make that. 

Second weekend of June last year had an overall box office total of 120 million. With SLOP and Dark Pheonix opening that weekend, we will also be well above that mark. Nice to see the box office making a strong comeback over the summer!

Only thing that will stop Aladdin from 300+ now is if SLOP2 and TS4 are too big to not affect it. But I think it's happening.

The early part of June will be good compared to last year. But The Later part this 2019's June will have to compete with likes of Elastigirl and Dinosaurs. And i don't think Toy Story 4 alone can make up for it.

A certain recent release was locked to beat Episode 7 domestic and Avatar worldwide ....

I never saw anyone say TFA was locked... At least on a certain other box office forum people were very hesitant about saying that

Avatar WW is another thing, it was hard not to get excited haha

[MovieMan89]

Sunday going up is definitely a massive sign for the WOM. I don't think that's ever happened before for a big MD opener.

probably because the word is used incorrectly all the time on this board.

Even if they do it shouldn't trigger people.

But you have to remember that holdovers did next to nothing by the time I2 opened because the previous weeks were so weak. 

Holdovers this year will be much higher and help make up for some of the deficit.

Overall, June should still come out ahead this year compared to last year.

There was Days of Future Past and Solo could have been fine if the budgeted was ridiculously overinflated

[cdsacken]

Even if it takes a re-release to beat Avatar so what? Avatar was in the box office for what felt like years and had one as well. Disney will do it because why not? 

 

No guarantee Avatar 2 beats the original. In fact it's easy to see it doing worse.

What if Godzilla hits the high end of tracking AND Aladdin repeats a #1 next weekend?

The Forum would crash so many times it would cease to exist. Aladdin is doing max 40 next weekend, and no way Godzilla goes below 45
