I thought TS4 drop was not great but with actuals its not bad at all. Anyway it looks like grossing around 430m. Not bad at all after OW went below pre release expectations.

64th place 10th weekend for Aladdin, rising slightly from last weekend’s 65th place.  

63	Walk the Line	Fox	$3,065,796	2.6%	1,125	$2,725	$119,519,402	11/18/05

It’s been spooky close to TLK (1994) ever since their respective 3rd weekends (of wide release, TLK’s shows as 4-11 instead because of its 2 theater “OW” 7 days early).

Lots of folks to me when I raised this possibility yesterday:  Oh, but THIS time they look to be on target, Porthos.  Maybe they even over-estimated it.

 

Me back to everyone who said that:

 

 

(all in good fun, of course )

 

 

I thought 20% Sunday drop prediction was not conservative. It dropped 19% which is great. Almost every movie had good sunday drops. its summer and many places the temps were quite warm. So going to Plex was good way to stay cool.

 

Still the drop(2nd weekend) is not good. let us see how things go this week. it is losing lots of imax/plf(not everywhere) and so average ticket price should go down. anything below 45% is good for 3rd weekend.

Unfortunately that’s difficult to use as a comp now because TLK 1994’s next weekend is Labor Day and it went up 30%

TS4 will finish way higher than basically everyone was expecting 3 months ago before the presales situation

! I always forget that movie exists and is a Nolan film. I love that film. for some reason I always think he got Batman Begins straight off the back of Memento.

 

it was back in the days where there used to be a step in between a tiny sundance indie and a huge superhero movie.

Break-even point for OUATIH is 400M

I know that. I was expecting 120/400 like 2 months before release. But tracking and initial PS changed expectations big time. I suddenly started hoping for 150m OW.

Hope TS4 can manage to outgross Shrek 2’s $441M DOM. Disney just needs to give it a big Labor Day weekend boost with added theater counts.

If that happens, Pixar will own the Top 3 highest animated films domestically. Although Frozen II will probably break that streak later this year.

Are we still worried about spoilers when everyone in the universe has seen it already?

I don't think anyone has seriously cared about Endgame "spoilers" (lol) for a month. But them's the rules.

Very nice actuals!
