it's december though. jum2 did 53 over 5-day. for this to double that over 3-days is nearly impossible imo.

 

That was before J2 became a $400m darling when people were still skeptical of it. J3 will be more more front loaded. It may not actually do it but it's gonna be a large opening.

First one did 37,8% drop on sunday

I doubt though It 2 would match it since its Saturday is looking to be a better increase than expected from True Fri.

Still a lower number. 21 mill maybe

I’d argue Pikachu and IT2 has great trailers but their late game marketing of recently has been ass.

Pikachu’s problem was that its hype peaked with the first trailer. Releasing in the shadow of Endgame was a mistake.

Or that it was a Pokémon movie

The first Pokémon movie had the fourth biggest animated OW at the time of its release and adjusts to $90m 5-day. The audience is there.

 

I don’t think TMNT ’14 numbers could’ve been out of the question with more consistent marketing and a better release date.

Total of animated Pokémon 1999 movie adjusted to 2019 $: $151M

Total of live-action Pokémon movie released in 2019: $144M

 

Not that far off the mark, really.

I still remember many members on here were confident Pikachu would break out and crush Endgame's legs.

Because of horrendous legs on account of basically being an extended episode of the cartoon, but the opening five days were still big.

I don't know about Jumanji 3 being huge again. I feel like it could just as easily suffer a similar fate to all the other sequels this year which dropped significantly from their break-out predecessors.

Jumanji 3 lives or dies on its reception IMO. If it's just a rehash then expect a huge decline.
