Yeah, its a wash point of data. Fathers day in someways hurts the monday on the sheer % of the drop (the number is still fine / good / normal.) Its a useless data point other than to say here is what day #4 was in comparison to something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it’ll lose loads of cinemas this weekend though. Great weekly hold for Annabelle considering it lost 1,000+ locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 60% would be somewhat shocking. A 55% drop would be on par with what we've seen with TS4 and Aladdin and even SLOP2 which had a good hold. So one can only look at other family films this summer to use as a comparison. 55% drop would be slightly bigger drop than the others but TLK also had a much bigger OW. But I remember similar discussion for TLJ. No way that movie was going to make less than $90 million in its second weekend. Yeah right! Likewise, anything goes and while we can say there's no way TLK can make less than $80 million in its second weekend...baboom! Anything can happen. Just that audiences seem to like TLK MUCH better than they did TLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have become quite the aggressive arguement maker. It will probably make between 80 and 85, looking at past actual data. An 80m weekend is right around -58% or normal for a film with both the 23m in previews and the huge opening. A 60% drop is not normal for well received films, but then again the 23m in previews already changes the equation - SOMETHING THAT YALL KEEP IGNORING. Good grief, when being normal and not calling things on my feelings is the problem. I will be quite happy if it manages a better than expected hold as I am always about championing big box office, but there are damn realities to be expected first before surprises can happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdsacken Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Are we pretending previews don't count in determining the 2nd week drop? 60% drop is 76m I don't see that happening. 85ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdsacken Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Toy Story dropped 50%. It will be higher but little competition. Release this week will make 40m max probably and is super violent. Not that much cross over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Crawl could pass $30m this weekend then. It’ll end up being a solid hit actually. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If the Lion King drops 55% or 60% this weekend it really doesn't matter. It's got summer weekdays which more than make up for the weekends falling maybe a little bit harder. The Incredibles part 2 fell 58% last year in its second weekend. I see no reason why the lion king would hold better than that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am banking on crawl getting close to a for multiplier. I think it's definitely a movie that is going to benefit from positive word of mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedijake Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The number of 3D IMAX showings for the LK has been dismal. There was only 1 showing a day since Thursday at the local AMC 24 Willowbrook, Regal 19 Tomball (an IMAX theater), and only ONE at the AMC 30 Gulf Pointe. Endgame had about a dozen showings for IMAX 3D. So for those who said that the $23 million preview was due to the amount of showings, it actually seems to have lost money due to the sparse number of 3D IMAX shows. Not sure how that is translating to the drops, but I don't think we can say that the preview numbers were especially inflated because the number of shows on premium screens certainly was not.

TServo2049 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Are you only referring to IMAX 3D shows? Because I see plenty of IMAX 2D showings at my local IMAX theaters (AMC Metreon and Regal Hacienda Crossings, plus the LieMAX at AMC Bay Street) on Fandango and those are premium-priced too. Do the theaters you mentioned have IMAX 2D showings too? And is there really that much a price difference between IMAX 2D and IMAX 3D? I’m checking and all my local theaters only charge $1 more for IMAX 3D than IMAX 2D. 3D is on the wane in North America, and IMAX specifically said a couple years ago that they were re-emphasizing 2D due to customer and theater feedback. This isn’t incredibly surprising to me (what is surprising is that Endgame had so many IMAX 3D showings in comparison).

john2000 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) https://deadline.com/2019/07/the-lion-king-box-office-records-monday-1202651407/ Disney’s The Lion King chalked up the best Monday in July that Disney has ever seen with $21.6M in early estimates This weekend, Lion King will definitely reign again with industry estimates expecting around a -50% decline for a second weekend of $95M Industry projections for Lion King‘s final domestic are between $650M-$700M. (all of this seem very optimistic to me with such minimal info and we all know that we should take this with a HUGE grain of salt, fingers crossed) Edited July 23, 2019 by john2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
