That's about a jump between 5-16%. By comparison, Green Book dropped 34% the day after the Oscars, while Shape of Water dropped 19%. Crazy stuff

[MrGlass2]

And it is only the beginning, crazy WOM to follow until Parasite conquers the entire United States.

[Legion Again]

Damn, rising from a 430k Sun would be quite impressive. Previous Oscar BP winner Mons:

Green Book -34% 346k

Shape of Water -20% 286k

Moonlight +18% 163k

Spotlight -2% 168k

Birdman -37% 141k

12 Years a Slave -34% 151k

Argo -42% 226k

[kitik]

thanks for those Oscar Monday comparisons!

[lorddemaxus]

Yeah, I think Parasite is crossing 50 mil.

From Deadline : 

"UK distributor Curzon and box office org Comscore both confirmed to us that the movie’s opening of $1,796,659 (£1,389,856) including previews is a record for a non-English language release. Across its opening Fri-Sun session, it grossed $1,395,025 (£1,079,102) with a screen average of $10,258 (£7,935).

That tops previous record holder Apocalypto, which opened with $1,758,494 (£1,360,111) in January 2007 on its way to a total gross of $5,320,094 (£4,114,838)."

It will expand next week to 400 locations (135 thus weekend).

It should make at least 15-20M more in Japan plus 15M+ DOM will make it cross 200 with ease imo.

Good drop for BOP. 90+ Domestic still possible. 

[keysersoze123]

MTC data is saying 2.1m as well.

I mean decent weekday holds were expected considering that it's an R-rated film. BTW anyone knows what would be considered a good enough Friday drop from OW 

Friday for a sub-40% 2nd weekend drop?

8m Friday. Saturday is going to drop or remain flat. 

8m+8m+5m =21m

It had the biggest opening for a foreign film ever here (with previews). 
 

even more impress for Parasite, isn’t it already out on home release in the US just now? 
 

Solid for BOP, was expecting -77% and $1.8m. 

[charlie Jatinder]

Birds of Prey	2.10
Bad Boys for Life	0.78
1917	0.78
Parasite	0.55
Dolittle	0.35

Ooof. I’m glad we have 4 new releases this weekend to clear out this top 10. 
 

6 movies under $400k. Shows how bad the early January films performed. 

[a2k]

JUM2 should add 6 Mon-Sun which will take it to 304.5

0.32 + 0.52(+62%) + 0.29(-44%) + 0.32(+10%) = 1.45

About +300%, +40%, -20% gives >4.5 FSS

[DAJK]

Watched Dark Waters tonight. Damn that was hard-hitting. Wish it got more buzz though, I thought it was at least as good as Spotlight. Just goes to show how great of a year 2019 was for movies that this got completely ignored.

I'd assume it'll stay around 2m at best by Thursday so are you expecting it to quadruple on Friday? That seems a bit much.
