$50M intl week-end is pretty good for TROS no? Higher than I would have guessed anyway.

Not necessarily.  Japan where it's doing better than TLJ should continue to be very leggy and the other markets in Europe where it's doing it's best should be solid with no other huge releases on deck.

so you are telling me those fuckin markets are going to leg it out to 1.1B?

$83.8m WW (with probably a bit of Disney's usual under estimating)  with $81.2m to $1B.  No way it misses it.  Should give a run at Rogue One's total WW.

OS is closing at $540m so DOM should over preforme to get it over 1.05B atm.

KO over TGS is coming

Frozen probably finishes above grudge with actually.

 

Disney is estimating a 46% drop for Frozen 2 on Sunday, so it's probably going to go up a little.

It seems to me that LW is stealing ladies from F2.

I‘m happy for Rian, he really deserved all the success. I‘m super excited for his decade in filming/directing.

I don't see why they'd have to.  Joker is currently at 1,062,994,002

1.8x this weekend will get TROS to 510M. Looks like the most likely finish for it.

[Boxofficerules]

I thought Black Christmas was PG-13 so everyone could go see it, why is no one going to see it?

where do you see TROS to end? I do think that next week drop should be steep everywhere cause people are going back to work/school. weekdays should be low.

So is the Lion King (2019) an animated film or not? It doesn't seem like there is a consensus on the matter. 

[Madhuvan]

The Frozen 2 performance should be applauded. 

$1.325 b for an animated movie is big thing. 

And the fact it will likely end between 1.45-1.5 b is huge. 

The movie has shown great legs worldwide.

Why do you even bring them up? THe fact that they even tried to give themselves a name shows how stupid those five or six youtubers are that make up that group.

510 + maybe 550 overseas finish gives it 1.06b so a little bit over R1

Because no one wanted to see it.

 

But hey, consolation prize, the five people who saw it probably like it marginally better than Grudge.

The top 5 is made up of movies from two studios (top 6 even, when you consider Fox is now a part of Disney). When was the last time that happened?

 

Star Wars is looking good for $500M even if it won't make much past it. Jumanji is shaping up to be a beast again, though: not sure how to feel about 2019 having only one movie in the $200-300M range lol. Frozen is also looking good for $475M+, all the early "panic" was for nothing.

 

Little Women is looking pretty much guaranteed a $100M+ finish at this point, and could reach $110M+ if it continues to hold well. Knives Out is gonna finish with over $160M at this point. Uncut Gems is locked to become A24's biggest movie. Love seeing quality movies get rewarded! Bombshell also isn't doing too bad either, $30M+ total is decent for that sort of movie (if not enough to make it profitable in theaters). 

 

The Grudge opened well but obviously it's all downhill from here. Doubt it even reaches $25M total.

 

Cats lol. Won't even hit $30M at this point. When everyone looks back on 2010s cinema that feels destined to be looked back on as the big "what were they thinking" fuck-up of the decade.

 

Awards movies are doing good before the boosts start coming beginning with the Golden Globes tonight. Excited to see how 1917 does in wide release. Just Mercy isn't looking as well-positioned but should post alright numbers.

People aren't seeing it because it sucks.
