Weekend thread (3/11 - 3/13) | The Batman 66M. 50% drop, 2nd-biggest second weekend for WB | Uncharted 9.25, BTS 6.85, Dog 5.35, NWH 4.07

[AnDr3s]

can it beat TDK 471M INT GROSS?

[Mr Terrific]

If Disney’s decision to keep Turning Red on D+ allows Sing 2 to continue so unfettered that S2 passes Eternals on domestic chart, it will be tragic and hurtful.

No holidays. -43% second weekend drop on its way to a multiplier of 4x. 

And summer too where films trade off huge weekends for strong mid week grosses.

The only CBM in history that opened with over $100M and had a 4x multi. It's so impressive.

Last weekend I said something like a 63M second weekend for The Batman was possible and when I hit the submit button I was expecting that (rightfully) i would be be called out for my very optimistic prediction. The calling put didn't happen. What did happen was an even better weekend than I predicted.  Fantastic and well deserved success for this movie...

What's the #1?

[john2000]

@Villain Legion thinking 810 possible for spidey ?

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

Basically 800M is also very much into play for worldwide final for The Batman. It will be reaaaaaally close to 600M (maybe over?) By next Sunday

It was an amazing run no one saw coming.

 

The greatest club in BOT history

 

To balance out the praise given to @Plain Old Tele, here's the worst club in BOT history

$800m+ ww is pretty much a done deal for The Batman. How far it'll go will depend on legs, not expecting anything big from China.

At least Disney can console themselves with their existing subscribers who wouldn’t have cancelled watching Turning Red for free this weekend in their droves. What a business model. Lmao 

[belblazer]

This number for the BTS live concert is insane omg. BOP said it's an all time record for both gross and price ($35).

Disney said Shang-Chi, Eternals, and West Side Story would all be available to watch at home 45 days after opening day and they ended up holding back on those launches. Obviously we're talking about a different studio but clearly these "this movie will be available so many days after theaters" statements aren't set in stone unless there's a concrete date as to when they will launch to go along with them.

For Latam where they did a 35-Day strategy during second half of 2021 they where really strict about it and always delvered on that frame (+1/2 days depending on each country where releases are on Thu or Wed). Latam social media already announced Apr 17th so would look quite weird to have it released in some territories and some not. It's WB we're talking about

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

Looking at 'Black Panther' for inspiration, 'The Batman' 2nd weekend is very close to BP's 3rd weekend. If it follows those drops, we'd be looking at a finish around $435M. I don't expect it to hold quite that well (4x the equivalent weekend). I do think $400M is in the cards though, going 3.5x this weekend and hitting 3x overall. A major win all around.

They really missed the opportunity to give this a whole wide release and more than just one showtime day.

 

These kids today deserve to have their equivalent of those 3D concert movies that came out 10 years ago. I still remember going to see the Hannah Montana 3D concert movie way back in the day. Blew my 10-year-old mind away.

Jesus. You are a child. 😫

I'm probably reall stupid for asking this but what is BTS?

The big K-Pop boy band that the kids today are really into. I actually unironically jam out to their Dynamite song while I drive to work.
