[oMeriMombatti]

In the chart posted above any movie with 100M+ gross is either Disney or MCU except for SLOP2. TLK will continue that once it's SAT no.s are in.

 

Also Dark Phoenix only 10% down from last Friday

Aladdin looks to be the one getting most of the TLK double features

Hmm. Didn't really show in the Aladdin Friday number. Either way, still think something close to or over 15 is happening for TS4 this weekend.

How much front loading will occur continues to be the question, and some are seeing a -15% ease from Friday’s number (which includes Thursday’s $23M previews). 

 

that would mean 66,8 for saturday

I wish peoples bias was kept to a minimum, at least with the stupid thread titles.

At least it did not go down any more after last RTH projection and it actually ended up on the upper end of the projection. Looking at 185-190m OW. Fantastic number for sure. I had predicted 180m until thursday when PS shot up and I ended bumping my prediction to 210m.

 

What is the cinemascore?

How much steam does Annabelle3 got os? Under-200 ww is surprising to be honest. (The prod budget is light of course and it will still do 6-6.5x that ww while more than doubling it dom itself.)

 

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$64,737,201	36.3%
+ Foreign:	$113,400,000	63.7%
= Worldwide:	$178,137,201

(dom includes Fri, while os is from last Sun i suppose).

I was this close to posting an angry rant in which all of the words were in bold, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. This is a very upsettingly high OW for The Lion King and bad word of mouth isn't going to be able to fix the problem it creates. Audiences need to learn discernment. Cinema shouldn't be akin to a fast food restaurant.

78.5

53.0 (-20%)

= 198

Sun can hold better though and 200+ still on cards if Sat is 66.5 which would be a 20% bump from true Friday.

What's the next classic with enough cultural cache that can get remade shot-for-shot and still make a ton of money? Outside of the Disney animated ones that is.

Welp. Maybe legs won't be great? Why wouldn't the OW have been huge? People gave expected 150+ minimum OW DOM for years now for this one.
