I don't know if Memorial Day and Labor day holds tend to be the same but if this has holds like Shang-Chi then its setting up for a 166m 4 day

The Bad Guys grossed an estimated $1.23M on Friday (from 2,944 locations), which was a 16% decrease from the previous Friday. Estimated total domestic gross stands at $77.97M.#TheBadGuys #BoxOffice @UniversalPics @Dreamworks

Black Panther

The Force Awakens

TOP GUN MAVERICK?

Endgame

American Sniper

My Big Fat Greek Weddiing

Deadpool

300/Wonder Woman

Let’s not forget the legendary double of Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and The Greatest Showman.

 

Jumanji did a 52 million Wed-Sun opening and nearly a 8x multi to hit 400 million and become the highest grossing comedy of all time.

 

and TGS looked dead in the water opening weekend, but did a 13x Multiplier from its FIVE day opening weekend.

 

and they both opened THE SAME WEEKEND

The Bad Guys continues its excellent holds, as well as EEAAO, which now looks to approach 60M.

 

Downton Abbey 2 kind of collapses. 

 

Top Gun obviously fantastic OD.

[Grebacio]

The Lost City passed the $100M domestic mark after grossing an estimated $400K on Friday (from 1,027 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $100.34M.#TheLostCity #BoxOffice @ParamountPics @LostCityMovie pic.twitter.com/qbfepRdPVP

There’s a small chance Bad Guys, would need another great hold next weekend and with some fudge via Dominion, it could be around 95m. IF Lightyear doesn’t curbstomp, it will be around 97m by the time before Minions and some fudge could get it to 100m.

Endgame

Endgame had a shocking opening but it did not have a shocking run. In fact, its run was mediocre given its ho him multiplier of about 2.40.

 

Contrast that with Inception which had a boring opening but a superb run that resulted in a multiplier of roughly 4.7 which is massive for a summer film.

As far as percentage holds go, I'll say they're directly comparable. LD Mondays are a bit weaker than MD Mondays. Compared to Presidents Day, MLK day etc. they're more impactful holidays.

TBG still held very well. It's looking like it can make it to $100m thanks to fudging from JWD and Minions 2. If I'm not mistaken, that's highest non-Disney and non-sequel animated grosser to reach that mark since Trolls.

If I'm not wrong that titles belong to The Boss Baby

 

Edit: Actually it's Spiderverse, but while it's not a sequel, it was based on an IP.

They were both perfectly positioned to capitalize when Last Jedi was rejected by audiences. A sub-3 multiplier for a Christmas release is just crazy in terms of audience rejection, it had a 2.8 or so IIRC.

only -5% from last week?? Do they pair this up with TGM? TLC is showing incredible late legs. 

 

TGM falls short a bit from earlier estimate, seem like older crowd aren't into watching movie late night.

Most of the movies on that list are just BIG movies. TFA's performance wasn't exactly shocking. People knew it was gonna open big and have good legs for being in the winter.

The Avengers 2012 run was more shocking than most of these imo. Reached top 3 all time WW at the time when all the solo films released before can't even touch $650M + making MCU a pop culture phenomenon.

How much was avengers revenue because of 3D ?

[mikeymichael]

Man, this is gonna be a fun ride. Sky’s the limit. 
 

 

Also, surprised to see that The Dark Knight hasn’t gotten any inclusions in the list of greatest BO performances this century.

Legs are not the only part of a run. I really don't see how Endgame's total can be viewed as mediocre in any sense.

The opening weekend is part of the run though, it doesn’t just mean legs

Under Ragnarok would be a complete, total disaster of epic proportions. Love & Thunder is not simply a Ragnarok sequel, its riding on the goodwill from (ofc) Ragnarok, which made Thor one of the most beloved MCU characters, Infinity War, where Thor was a highlight and Endgame, where Thors reception was more mixed but overall still more positive than negative id say. Not to mention the appearence of the GOTG, which is a big plus and Batman who has lived long enough to become a villain.

 

It will comfortably gross 400M with 500M beeing a realistic shot imo.

I definitely don't see thor making 500m the hype for its second trailer is weak across the board. No one seems to care. BP2 though.... that should hit within that range given if it's well received.
