So in the end passing 50.2m opening by AQP1 is not that easy after all. 

Yeah lol, should have stayed OUT

 

@Jamiem fighting the good fight

Personally to me, I think anything over 50m 4-day is a win, so hopefully it does for the big headlines.

[charlie Jatinder]

So both films still over indexing in MTC 1 & 2 despite almost all of MTC 3 open. 

[filmlover]

Strong numbers for both, all things considered. A Quiet Place 2 is on track for the biggest opening of the pandemic era, while Cruella should manage a $25-30M 4-day at least since it's unlikely to be frontloaded.

Maybe it take longer time for people to recognize that MTC3 is back online.

I interpret it as OUT

[charlie Jatinder]

Still think 50+

 

4.8
13.7
17
16 // 51.5
12.5 // 64

[Borobudur]

Actually comparing GvK and AQP2, AQP2's 4.8m is essentially half of the GvK's OD, this make sense since AQP2 is only open on 2nd half? Is that how to analyse the number? 

[charlie Jatinder]

I hope it don't come to that, but a realisitic pessimistic number could be 

4.8
11
13
12 // 41
9 // 50

[Krissykins]

Fantastic for AQP2. Happy to see a horror film perform at this level during the pandemic. 
 

Budget is $61m for the sequel. 
 

$40m 3 day would be a new pandemic record.

This would still be enough to pass $100m even if it came to that.

I’d say it’s more of a coincidence than anything. So many different situations in play between the two. Different theater counts, capacity restrictions, PWPs, and there were some theaters for GvK OD that didn’t open their doors until late afternoon. Some may say there’s no such thing as coincidences though…

As someone who was keeping their expectation low with a 40 something 4-day,

I’d still be fine with it. 

[DAJK]

I’m going to officially eat my words. I was going WAY too low on AQP2 (and Cruella to be fair). I really need to start accepting the fact that theaters are really coming back, even if ever so slowly.

 

Super excited for the next few months. Hopefully both films this weekend are relatively leggy.

[The Panda]

How exciting, box office is back!

Is it that slow? This AQP2 weekend seems basically normal sized, and Cruella also might be doing the same as it would with its hybrid release plan in a world where covid never happened.

In that case I consider GvK is a stronger player all things considered.

Yeah GvK’s True FSS of 31.6M in early March (with free streaming no less) will still go down as a stronger performance than AQP2 40s true FSS end of May.
