What is going on? How are DL, BOP and other predicting around 42M when people in here suggest otherwise?

 

That's quite a big margin. It's not 2-3 million.

I don't know about BOP, but Deadline usually stays with the projections they made up before the weekend and stick to it until the first Friday numbers drop. It's hilarious

I had forgotten about Playmobil

Good chance that the first non-DCEU DC movie since 2013 outgrosses every member of the DCEU WW-C. Just bonkers.

Noon EST. Joker is blowing up. let's start with 19-20mn being safe. At high end, depending on Evenings, may be 22. 

This is getting out of hand. 20M friday would mean like, lol 65-70M weekend?

There's a holiday Monday, right? So expect an even better Sunday hold than usual.

[Damianport1]

It's a combinations of things why it's holding so well

a) people stayed at home because of the police in theaters

b) great word of mouth

c) repeat viewings

d) controversy and media buzz increased curiosity

[a2k]

Joker, Frozen2, Jumanji3, SW9 will make it 10 300+ films this year.

7 BV, 2 Sony, 1 WB

 

Edit: Could it be 10 350+ films?

If you were to go by what some reviews are pushing, Joker is the anti-Captain Marvel anyway, the incel manifesto, facing off against the feminist one.

Captain Marvel’s also pro-military while Joker is about a bunch of people rising up (gamers?) against government officials

I think 20m+ friday is happening. AMC is adding more shows to Joker and I am expecting a good increase in show count by late afternoon. Juggernauts defy gravity. 70m+ 2nd weekend. That means its looking at 400m domestic run !!!!

[Lordmandeep]

Wait if the gamers are broke how do they afford all those games? 🙃
