That would be a great weekend overall for the box office in general. Hoping Fantasy Island/Photograph can combine for ~35M, and Sonic can do 60, and if Downhill can do ~5M that would be 100 for all openers combined which would be great. 

The past month has also been seeing some really solid holds too.

Not Normal for Harley Quinn. Hoping that Thursday increases. 

 

While rough, its not out of total line with upper end drops for the film type. 

The day overall does seem a bit down more so than usual since Tuesday was also not as spunky. Weird pattern this week.

Thursday is Galentine day. Maybe BOP will see an increase.

All movies will probably see an increase. Happened on Thursday 13th Feb in 2014

2014 didn't have between $4m and $5.5m of previews either though.

Which shouldn't necessarily effect BOP. We shall see, more likely to have flat and small increases based on past behavior.

It will directly effect BOP because it’s losing its Dolby screens at most theatres as well as other PLF screens.

Big movies usually have contract for 4 weeks.

Certainly not in my area. Already getting moved to the smaller screens

Hence my caveat verbiage. There will be some impact, but not the same as if it was a similar type of film or even another large R rated one. It also depends on what you mean by impact. If you expected it to increase large then there will definitely be an impact (from an unlikely even under normal circumstances outcome.) If you are thinking a large drop (say 10%+) its also unlikely due to proximity to VD. 

I am expecting a Flat or moderate (under 5%) drop since the films behavior meant it was overbooked and had room to give this weekend - what is already being seen on the premium formats.

This is the definition of not a big movie and never was. As has been noted on and off since its underperforming weekend, losing screens and specialty formats was an expectation not a surprise. I also believe that some of this was contract as well since Sonic has had premiums available since the tickets went up. Imax is the only screen that tends to have longer hold times, but the loopholes and rules are quite maneuverable when your film is not doing what it was hoped to do.

For Dolby and PLF? That’s not true at all.

Yeh that’s definitely wrong. 
 

Especially when it gets crowded, some films only have them for a week.

-45% for Birds of Prey, quite heavy. Expected 40-42% but Wednesdays have been hard to work out for openers the past few weeks due to Super Bowl and holiday Monday impact.

But what does this statement have to do with Birds of Prey?

"It seems all but certain that Harley Quinn will at least crack the top ten. And if the film can approach the $300 million mark domestically, then the film could very well near Wonder Woman territory."
