Maybe @baumer wrote it or compiled it, but there was this amazing thread at box office mojo that did a weekly recap of Titanic’s run.  We would react to each weekly recap as if it was happening in real time.  One of the best threads ever.

There is a thread in here too, that baumer made.

$6M Weekend for Endgame,

not bad but lower than the initial prediction from both Deadline and Variety 

Canada holiday plus it might actually hold ok. Hoping for 7+ through Monday

Are you really laughing at what MBFGW did in it's box office run? 

No of course not, it had fantastic run

I mean it's not in my top 10 most impressive runs

Nothing is over yet so it's likely going to be closer to 7M or over. but either way, the number is great, no way to spin it otherwise. There's still interest in the movie so they should (and will) keep it in the theaters as long as it takes. 

 

Any hope Aladdin ends up with higher gross than TS4? 

 

@tawasal it's definitely going to be when the weekend is over. 

I know that MIB will be topped by monday the latest, but there is still a fight for the weekend. What a flops MIB and DP have been.

No... TS4 should get $ 300M by next Sunday. Should be able to do at least around $ 380M, more depending on FFH / TLK impact.

 

Aladdin is doing $ 350M maximum

[cdsacken]

6.6 would be awesome. That would be 7+ with Monday.

Seriously both just flopped miserably. Sad about MIB. 

[JimiQ]

MIB had half the budget of XDP, it's gonna end up a wash like Alita or KOTM.

John Wick 3 doesn't care about competition, it's just doing its own amazing thing on the side like Aladdin. 

It's at 2.8x multiplier now.

Or it’ll just need Disney to re-locate some of The Lion King Movie later in July

You guys can not cool it all you want, but denying it won’t change that Disney employs that strategy all the time

About Endgame's frontloadedness this weekend, there will be a fan rush, but MCU movies tend to have more of a Saturday bump than other CBMs, so maybe it will even out?  

 

A Star Is Born had an extended cut plopped into theaters during its run, here's how how it played that weekend (March 1–3) :

 

Fri:   $481,844 (+852.4%)

Sat:  $821,830 (+70.6%)

Sun: $550,533 (-33%)

 

Total:  $1,854,207

 

Very different genres and situations, Endgame doesn't have that much new content vs. 12 minutes extra for ASIB, but Endgame hasn't (legally) hit digital yet weeks before this release.  There was more notice about the "new" Endgame hitting theaters vs. the official announcement of the encore ASIB happening two days ahead of that Friday (March 1). Lady Gaga went onto Jimmy Kimmel's show to promote the re-release, though 99% of the headlines after were about how she addressed the Oscars performance/speculation that she and Bradley Cooper were in love, rather than hey, there's a new version in theaters this weekend! So it was as situation where ASIB was in the news a lot as it was re-released (probably more than Endgame right now), but the buzz around it could have just driven people to digital/DVD instead. Whereas, if you want to see any version of Endgame right now, you have fewer (legal) options.

 

A long-winded way to say comparisons are difficult.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, this is true, Aladdin performance was close to mindblowing both DOM and OS.

 

TS4 situation make me a little sad because is doing actually more than people are expecting in May and will be really close to TS3 which is nothing to be ashamed... but it happens, it’s still a huge success and a great movie, hopefully will be remembered by this in a few years.
