I am curious about daily breakdown. That is a great increase after not so conservative Sunday drop by Disney.

Disney underestimated a Sunday drop for one of their movies AGAIN.

Who could have possibly foreseen THIS development? 

 

*cough*     *cough*

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 )

Unlikely that the improvement is mostly from Sun, bet the Fri and Sat got revised up a good bit.

Aladdin will pass 350M. 

 

EG will crawl over 860M

And some said TLK wasn’t gonna increase with actuals. 😆

 

Did anything else increase with actuals besides TLK?

True true.  I'm mostly just laughing/having a bit of fun that Disney underestimated a weekend AGAIN.

 

Like, even in a weekend where they allegedly gave a reasonable estimate they undershoot.  

 

I just find that hilarious really.

To be fair to some posters, you also had the crazy saying TLK was a shoo-in for $85M b/c Disney must have underestimated by 10%+...so it became more responses to him than you:)...

Looks like almost everything so far, although not by as much...

Basically everything so far 😂😂

Estimates 

$22,304,000 +48.7% / $4,720 $297,555,534 / 8

$29,694,000 +33.1% / $6,284 $327,249,534 / 9

$23,526,000 -20.8% / $4,979 $350,775,534 / 10

 

Actuals

Jul 26, 2019	1	$22,432,165	+50%	4,725	$4,748	$297,683,699	8
Jul 27, 2019	1	$29,867,757	+33%	4,725	$6,321	$327,551,456	9
Jul 28, 2019	1	$24,321,631	-19%	4,725	$5,147	$351,873,087	10

 

+130k Friday revision 

+170k Sat revision

+130k Sun as a result of Sat going up  

+670k from Sun drop beating the estimate   

 

So it actually was a majority of the improvement, spoke too soon.   

 

I wonder if Disney compulsively underestimates Fri and Sat as well. Haven't paid attention, but probably.

Well it wasn't just this thread that I was told this.   But point taken.

 

Like I said though, mostly just find it amusing that Lord Mouse can't help but underestimate even when it tries not to.

True that! ^^

 

Always nice to see good increases. Glad Hollywood went up as well as LK. 

[RamblinRed]

TS4 should pass 400M DOM by Wednesday.

 

Disney always seems to underestimate their Sunday's, and it isn't that unusual for them to be slightly under on their Fri and Sat.

If Aladdin gets to over $350M+ DOM, i do hope it has enough legs to outgross certain films like American Sniper, Transformers 3, Furious 7 and so on.

The lion king is once again the victim of extreme and severe low-balling just like last week. With actuals it comes in minimum 85M

All these 3 disney movies will see increases on Friday, Saturday and Sunday Est. Especially the Lion king it's same story as last weekend. Expect 7-8m+ increase for TLK
