Summer days kicking in. This is to expected.

Godzilla is DOA. Or almost on A.  This is shaping up as a major failure.

bigger Monday # than Shazam which was hit hard by EG but 25-day for both films was about 131M~ at this point. I doubt Pikachu makes much more than 145M with all the competition coming near it in the weeks to come.

Exactly, plus its demos skew older than those of DP and Shazam!

 

Still, I'll take tiny sliver of solace in the fact that its Sun-Mon drop was on par with that of Rocketman

Check out Xmen first class, DP is playing very similarly (Xmen day 25 monday was higher (though it was later in July) and it was running about 2m higher as well, so about 145m is probably the ceiling for DP

 

Again, this has just been a really competitive May/early June. DP started in the vacuum left by AEG and will end in the midst of one or two tentpoles releasing every week. A more accomodating release date and normal international exchange rates, DP could have easily been a 500m-550m grosser. WB will definitely take this into account when thinking about sequels

My immediate thought was: how do you know how Dark Phoenix is playing already?

 

Because that's the obvious DP when comparing to First Class.

 

Took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant.

Deadpool, obviously. 😏

 

This is why we should never cross the streams.

GZ14 dropped 66% for 7.67 Mon. KOTM is exactly 50% of it.

Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

That was May. This is June. Not good at all. Several School districts are already out.

I mean it was close to half that film's opening weekend so all of that checks out. And then you remember what kind of legs that film had and OUCH is all one can say about King of the Monsters' prospects as far as box office staying power goes.

They already have the sequel written and special effects team returning.

 

All things considered DP has done good IMO. Today it'll become the highest grossing video game film of all time. 

 

It had massive competition from get go and the competition was the 2nd highest grossing film of all time. Which even when DP came out theaters chose to show EG consistently whereas Pika would get solely matinees which clearly effected it's box office. Pika also did not have the benefit of IMAX like every other big blockbuster releasing in May.

 

Hopefully for the future pokemon movies they change that.

Biggest drop last year on this day was Solo at 66.9%

DP2 dropped 61%

IW 63.4%

When theatres choose to show one movie over another, it is usually because they anticipate the movie that they're showing to perform better than the one they aren't showing. It's not like Pikachu would have done insanely better if it had been given IMAX etc.

No Aladdin numbers? Something tells me it will have the biggest Monday.
