Damn, that OW record list is crazy. 12 out of 13 are Disney movies and 7 out of 13 are MCU movies, absolutely crazy.

I wonder whether the "Disney effect" might materialise next week, as it did with Beauty and the Beast (which dropped -25.5% when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opened, but then -5.5% a week later).

I'm pretty sure that second BATB drop was due to mother's day. It stayed nearly flat on Sunday.

I thought Beauty and The Beast was a March release?

Lily James (Yesterday) is a low key boxoffice queen. This, Baby driver, mama Mia. She isn't a draw as most people still don't know who she is but she's good at picking projects. 

 

I hope MCU takes notice of her and Kaya and give them some big roles.

 

You know there is DC too with even BETTER female characters in the comic book world than Marvel has right ?

Theater is overrun... Could be a huge Monday number.

I don't disagree with what the audience liked. I just didn't like it. Honestly, maybe my least favorite Disney remake. Get totally that other love it. That's cool. Truly haven't really liked any of these remakes of animated classics much. BUT glad they're propping up the box office. Well, not Dumbo. But the others have for sure.

Yeah dumbo collectively stunk for most. Aladdin was liked by many but not all. TLK is between dumbo and Aladdin.

The next big movie that might have a chance at top 10 that isn’t Disney is probably the Batman in 2021

Weirdly enough, some users here refer to double features as "fudge".

It will be lucky to have Homecoming numbers imo.

I really don't understand Disney's obsession with underestimating Sundays. What would they get from that? Almost all the trades use the estimates in their headlines, not the actuals. It's like someone from Disney's distribution team wets his/her pants with just the thought of underestimating Sundays. The more the underestimation, the nearer he/she is to the climax.

two positive press cycles, even if the second is smaller than the first.

 

Better that, they probably think, than one good press cycle and one bad one (film underperformed WE estimates, bad WOM incoming?).

 

Is kinda a meme-ing joke now.  To such an extent than when a film comes in under a Disney estimate (AWiT's OW comes to mind  here), then one knows the WOM is gonna be dicey.

Perhaps at the time it wasn't looking like it was gonna clear AOU. That 13% drop is mighty impressive. But hey, they still get the money all the same.

I'll believe it's happening when we get a trailer, until then I'll assume it's Vaporware like a decent chunk of the 'confirmed' DCEU movies.

 

In other news Disney's domestic % is 36.6%, WB + Universal + Sony are 36.9%, There's a pretty decent chance Disney will have a larger % than their combined totals by next Sunday.
