Whoever said moviegoing was bound to stay dead, or that streaming has won, needs to go back to business school. Because a big event movie plus holiday weekend, along with LA & NYC reopened exhibition markets equaled big bucks at the box office as Warner Bros./Legendary’s Godzilla vs. Kong decimated all industry projections with a 5-day box office of $48.5M after a $11.6M Saturday, +73%.

 

Deadline mention 11.6m Saturday? That is a bit...low

i expect actuals to hit 50

[Cookson]

Very interested in the global total for GvK.

[Krissykins]

First $100m international opening

First 3,000+ count

First $10,000+ PTA

First $10m+ Single day

First $20m+ weekend

First $30m+ weekend

[Brainbug]

Typo. Notice how they said it was +73% which was the Friday jump. They forgot to update with the Saturday number.

This make more sense.

Frankly it is a bit challenging. To hit 50m, GvK can only drop 23% on Sunday, which seem a bit unlikely unless capacity restriction really create some spillover effect to Sunday.

35% is a fairly steep drop, I think it'll land at 49.4 or so. WB may do some fudge to push it to 50.

Unlike GvK, Widow do need Europe and LaTAM.

The margin of 0.5m-1.0m to 50m could have been well covered if they had allow LA to operate at 50% 3 days earlier

 

Just take a look at how this fourthquel overall boosted the industry: The entire LA market for over the last two days for all films made $2.16M (note LA County theaters don’t go to 50% capacity until Monday, but Orange County is at 50%), NYC grossed $1.56M, Dallas Fort Worth saw $1.34M and Houston rang up $1.06M. The industry hasn’t seen these type of city-by-city box office numbers for a while.

[filmlover]

The fact it came so close to becoming the biggest movie of the entire pandemic era in just its first weekend is insane. Blockbusters are back in business.

 

Acceptable numbers for The Unholy, I guess. Never even heard of it until this past week.

[charlie Jatinder]

Canada PVOD $3M. Voila. $52M weekend.

 

Not an exact science ofcourse, If PVOD price was $20, that's 150k purchase. For USA 1.5M watched on HBO Max? 😛

Wow, absolutely fantastic weekend for GvK!!!! Hopefully this weekend is just the beginning for normalized BO.

Easter Sunday usually has harsher drops remember. Plus if they were going to “fudge push” it to 50 they’d have done it for the headlines already.

Wonder Woman 1984 did $7.2m in Canadian PVOD in 3 weekends so that’s a great start.
