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

[ThomasNicole]

Getting ahead of myself, but now that we're possibly seeing a sub 50% drop in second weekend, just imagine what type of drop we can get next weekend since there won't be any competition again.

I'll go with 18.69 because funny sex number.

for 69m weekend of course

Zero competition is an actual thing with Batman for the next 3 weeks. NWH benefitted from that for 3 entire months.

If $19m comes true, what do we think the FSS ceiling is?

Can The Batman reach 400M w/ HBO MAX on the way though? 

How committed is WB to 45-day theatrical window? Are they committed to it like the day-and-date releases of last year? They should double that shit back up or at least give two months.

Might be more competition next weekend than you think. JJK and X both look pretty wide (like 2500ish?), Umma and The Outfit might combine to like 1500 locs, and it seems like a lot of BP nominees will get re-expanded again. Batman should still rule the roost in shows of course but it might combine to be more opener and expansion competition than on e.g. Feb 25, 11, 4, or even Jan 14 or Mar 25th.

45 day window is fine for fanboy driven franchises like Batman. It's the leggy family and animated movies that end up being hurt the most by short windows.

Apart from Croods 2 and Sing 2. 
 

Great for The Batman. I predicted $63m.

My theater last Friday: 2,117

This Friday: 1,186

It's the sign that DC needs to see after

 

[EmpireCity]

Should be right at $19m.

[Elessar]

Nice legs. And i don't mean Catwoman's.

 

Can SAT really be 30m? That would only be a 30% week-to-week drop...

[Tokugennumataka]

Close to 270M by Thursday. Looks like 400+ is in play.

Wouldn't be outrageous by any means. Think a slightly lower Sat with a soft drop on Sun

[TwoMisfits]

Saturday will be a bad day on the East Coast weather-wise, so don't be shocked if Saturday disappoints a little after an awesome Friday (and then Sunday has a great hold from Saturday)...
