Not surprised by the huge Frozen numbers. I was just at the theater to pick up tickets (thanks @cdsacken for the link) and it felt like a weekend. 
 

Also it seems like the movie is less presales heavy now than it was for the weekend as around 12PM the evening shows were 10% full and when I just checked they were nearing sell outs.

charlie , 300 dom by sunday .what would that mean for dom total ?

[DAJK]

Insert the Jack Nicholsen GIF of him nodding and smiling or whatever.

 

Great numbers if they hold. 

[Valonqar]

300M dom by Sunday puts 600M on table no? I know that there will be post-holiday drop but there will be another holiday soon to keep things going. 

 

I think that KO will make 40M 5 days as the projection keeps rising. Either way, it's exceeded tracking.

I wouldn't say 600, but 500 it definitely is possible. 

 

Also, Knives Out doing 100 DOM would be amazing.

I'd hesitate to call a $2.2M opening day a breakout.

[JB33]

Isn't it nice to have the box office exceeding our expectations? God I love the holidays!

Lionsgate/MRC’s Knives Out is in 2nd seeing $8.2M for today including its $3.7M previews and sneaks, a $24.8M 3-day, and a current five-day of $35.4M.

 

  That's some interesting math for Thur - $2.4m Thanksgiving off a $4.5m Wed

Knives Out heading 40m 5 day with previews

 

Disney’s “Frozen 2” is heading for a record of at least $140 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday in North America, early estimates showed Wednesday.

The animated adventure will easily top the $109.9 million record set by “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in 2013 during the five-day period. “Frozen 2,” which opened on Nov. 22, should go past the $300 million mark by the end of the weekend. The sequel is coming in well above forecasts of $100 million to $120 million during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Lionsgate’s opening of mystery comedy “Knives Out” is plenty of traction with early estimates of $40 million for the five-day holiday, which includes $3.7 million from previews. “Knives Out” opens in 3,391 sites Wednesday amid strong reviews with a stellar 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. “Knives Out” had been forecast to open in the $20 million to $25 million  range.

 

 

The film, directed by Rian Johnson, centers on a family gathering that takes a turn for the macabre when the patriarch (Christopher Plummer) dies after his 85th birthday party, leaving everyone a suspect. The cast includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis and Toni Collette. “Knives Out” is produced by MRC and T-Street.

Universal’s counter programmer “Queen & Slim,” starring Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith, is also beating forecasts with about $15 million for the five days. The film had been expected to earn $10 million over the extended holiday. Melina Matsoukas, the filmmaker behind Beyonce’s “Formation” music video, directed the film, while Lena Waithe wrote the script. It has an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score.

2.2 opening day leading to a 16 to 17 million 5 day in only 1,600 theaters with no star power and an R rating. Expectations was for this movie to make 10 to 12 million for five days.

It’s not dropping that much. I saw that presales for Thursday are even better than today in some theaters.

It's just Deadline being math challenged.

 

Variety's $40m projection (including sneaks) is more likely

Deadline being mathematically challenged?

Not sure of 300 but F2 can get close to 295 by Sun imo.

 

163.8 after 20.8 Tue

23.5 Wed

15.3 (-35%)

35.2 (+130%)

34.8 (-1%)

21.6 (-38%)

= 130.4 5-day ; 294.2

Edited November 27, 2019 by a2k
If 295 is feasible I guess so is 300

[Eric Duncan]

I wouldn't say an opening lower than Allied qualifies as a "breakout", but Queen and Slim's projected 5-Day is definitely a good couple million above what I expected, especially since buzz seemed non-existent, so I'll take what I can get.

Plus it had no previews which makes it even more impressive.

[Valonqar]

people keep forgetting Q&S is showing in less than 2000 theaters. It's a breakout. Everything is going to make more money than CA.

One of the films had a $20m budget  - the other $106m - not exactly comparable in terms of what qualifies as a financial break out.
