Deadline is saying 19.67 million for Saturday lmao. They are spinning so much BS this weekend just so they can keep saying it "overperformed"

The drop is a bit harsh for a labour day hold, judging just how well FG hold in the past 2 weeks, but SC is here, how big everyone else can be?

[Lion Roar]

So $20.8m true Friday. Once again a number ending in 8, once again a very auspicious number. Hoping for a 4 day of $88.88m.

Paramount is going to regret moving MI and Top Gun. lmao

Good info from Deadline if one ignores the B.O. projections

 

Marvel gets its 16th ‘A’ CinemaScore here with Shang-Chi (we’re not counting A-s or A+s in there), with Comscore/Screen Engine PostTrak scores of 91% positive and a super 78% recommend. Kids under 12 gave it 93% in the top two boxes and a 70% recommend. Shang-Chi pulled in 62% males, 51% under 25 and the moviegoing dominant quad of 18-34 at 60%.  Diversity mix was 36% Caucasian, 23% Asian/other, 23% Latino and 18% Black. The pic, as expected, played best on the coasts, especially the West with nine out of ten theaters coming out of NY and LA. The Metreon in San Francisco was the only venue to crack that top ten list. Imax, premium large format and 3D are driving 37% of ticket sales to date. Industry estimates expect a 34% decline between Friday (+Thursday previews and Saturday’s ticket sales of $19.67M. If you back out Thursday previews from Friday, then Shang-Chi‘s technical Saturday daily hold is -7%.

I don't think they will, Nov is just too crowded for TG even by pre-pandemic standard. But I do suspect AQP2's number doesn't satisfy them, especially international number

@EmpireCity this is exactly the type of box office numbers you promised me we would jerk off too. What a day. I should have trusted you from the beginning.

 

 

 

I just found a illustration of how CJohn is expected to look at the end of the weekend.

I bet I haven't seen any film to have 60% White audience.

[wildphantom]

Didn’t deadline predict a $90 million worldwide opening last week? More like $150-$160 million fri-sun. Lmao. 

[XXR vs XXR]

So now I'm thinking something like....

$23M Saturday
$18M Sunday 
$13M Monday

Not this year - no.  They are seeming to stay home more than in the past...Black Widow probably brought the most out by actual physical purchase...

 

"Black Widow was guy-heavy at 58%, with 52% under 25, and close to half the audience between 18-34. Diversity demos were 46% Caucasian, 21% Latino, 16% Black, and 18% Asian/other. " https://deadline.com/2021/07/black-widow-opening-weekend-box-office-1234789473/
