Speaking of random monthly record trivia, seems that The Avengers will take the longest standing monthly record from Passion of the Christ as long as it withstands DS2.

 

Will it withstand DS2 though....? 

And if TA1 does fall, who has the longest standing monthly record after that?

Dog is perhaps taking advantage of the fact it's the closest thing to a family-friendly movie on the market right now (despite the PG-13 rating) given that the most recent one is the two month old Sing 2 and the next one being Sonic 2 in six weeks. Thanks to Disney for creating a void in the marketplace, probably.

A sub-50 drop from a holiday weekend for a film like Uncharted which has audience crossover with the average comic book movie is nothing short of excellent. Of course Batman next week will no doubt disrupt its run somewhat, but at least it's yet another win for exhibitors.

 

Fantastic hold for Dog as well. Movies like this have been mostly bombing left and right these past couple of years, so the run that it's having is nothing short of a miracle. Hopefully these people show up for The Lost City too.

Pretty strong holds across the board this weekend tbh, thanks in large part to nothing of note coming out (and perhaps a desire to get away for at least a few hours from everything that's happening in the world right now). March being largely devoid of non-Caped Crusader product means the titles that are hanging in there will be around for the next several weeks due to there being nothing to really replace them with, so expect to see plenty of good drops coming up.

Passion of the Christ shares that record with the Special Edition of Star Wars. It's exactly 4005 days for both.

Monsters Inc Nov 2001 with 62M

HP1 Nov 2001 with 90M

Ocean’s 11 Dec 2001 with 38M

TLOTRTFOTR Dec 2001 with 47M (this is 4 monthly record breakers in less than a 7 week span wtffffff)

It was a good variety of factors. Big, splashy multiplexes were popping up more and ticket prices were starting to rise considerably, the 9/11 attacks made people want escapist entertainment at a time when streaming didn't exist, and all those movies had tons going for them in the advertising, whether it be the people behind them (Monsters, Ocean's) or the iconic source material (Potter, Fellowship).

 

There was a really good thread talking about this stuff about 5 years ago, which really crystallized the absurd bump in attendance in 2000 and 2001.

Tfw multiple comments are about how TFA OW could last for a long time and it's out of the top 3 now :hahaha: 

 

Good thread though.

Great hold for both uncharted and dogs coming off holiday weekend. Together with 59% 2nd weekend drop ( also on post holiday weekend) for scream, can we finally put behind the general trend of 60% 2nd week collapse that we have been witnessing since wide reopening last march?
