Yea it won't be hard for TLK to stay number one next weekend.

TBF I don't think even Sony are expecting OUATIH to hit number 1 next week, it could do $40m and have strong legs.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood likely would've been number one had it stayed on its original August 9 release date. Although they correctly blinked from that date once they realized it was gonna be deemed too exploitative.

Only cause Knives Out is gonna suck 100M out of the market place that week

If HC > FFH is in the range of a 25% WW jump that's about what I expect for Strange 2. It would need an OS overperformance to secure the billion. 

I think HC and DS are different in this case.

 

HC already did really big numbers because it’s a well known character comeback and it have RDJ in it, so even with FFH doing way better, there’s less room to jump.

 

DS otherwise is the first movie of a character that nobody knows that much back in time, so there’s more room to breakout, especially with May slot and him and Thor being fan favorites on IW / EG. 

[YM!]

Since we’re talking MCU future grosses, here’s what I think:

Black Widow: $90M/$255M/$720M

Eternals: $125M/$375M/$925M

Shang Chi: $100M/$130M/$300M/$975M (China helps)

DSitMoM: $145M/$390M/$1B

Thor4: $160M/$415M/$1.05B

Not to mention having Scarlet Witch may help as an incentive.

Anything can happen in China for Shang Chi, it could be a real wildcard

I'm surprised they didn't move to August 16th or August 23rd.

Probably wanted to stay away from IT Chapter Two.

185M OW?

 

@Thanos Legion @Porthos I can work with that. 

You're taking a Disney reported Sunday drop at face value?  

 

This isn't Sony or Universal we're dealing with here, you know.

Lion King would need to have a  horrendous drop for Once to open at #1. 

 

I still think it'll open well though. Should/could be Tarantino’s biggest opening ever.

So much money for Disney

[JimiQ]

Thank you all for coming, tune in next week for OUATIH meltdowns. 

 

We always deliver.

Three Day OW it might be able to do it but the biggest opening of his is Django Unchained which did $63m for its opening.

The highest grossing movie of all time has characters playing Fortnite and doing the dab

 

Long live the cinema

Entertainment Studios. The sharks from 47 Meters Down 1 and 2 for the next MCU villains.
