20% saturday increase at low end?

It had a 16% increase from true Friday to Saturday on opening weekend. 20% increase should be the floor, IMO. Less and it wouldn’t be devastation but at least somewhat disappointing.

Probably it's Friday grosses were inflated by the PLF as @M37 warned.

You’re comparing Bullet Train to the third film in a series. Come on. Why the hell are you fixating on the arbitrary 170 million number? 
 

All that was said was Bullet Train — an 85 million dollar film starring an A-lister and featuring other well-known actors — isn’t some niche film. 
 

if you want to be pedantic, try harder. 

 

 

We'll see, I guess.

It's still not impossible. However, It's great to stay conservative on predictions.

Is it better to be conservative? I think it's better to be realistic.

Are you comparing movies in their 1st saturday to 2nd saturday !!!! No way it just increase 20%. Its still early june. Similar weekend JW3 increased 55%. While TGM with strong weekdays and good friday increase wont increase that much, 20% is too low. Even though week on week decrease will look ridiculous.

Oh I thought you were saying 20% was too high of a low-end lol.

Going to add from that, that while I do believe TG2 is stealing at least some of what could have been JWD's thunder, the fact that it continues to skew older and (presumably) whiter still leaves open the door for a "surprising" OW. The teens, for whom @Shawn said previously said tracking was very high, really haven't had much to watch of late, other than maybe Bob's Burgers and MoM for the 2nd/3rd/4th time. And they are notoriously late ticket buyers ...

Nailed it.

Also, TGM is one of the most insane holds I've ever seen. And I've been following box office since Titanic era.

Is JW3 going to open under 4 Morbillions? That seems quite floppy but the hype/buzz just isn't growing. Reviews are obviously gonna be bad too. What a waste of the old trio.

I know you're being sarcastic here, but I do keep seeing people saying that reviews are going to be mediocre to bad for JW3. I know it's super early, but it's at 88% on RT with 8 reviews. Obviously that will likely go down some, but I can't see it drop hugely from a decent start like that. Am I missing something?

The reviews so far are almost all from spanish-speaking countrys. Hopefull people live there so they give Dominion a chance.

 

But english speaking reviewers will be featured the most on RT. Since they will be all cynics, reviews will be terrible.

 

Spoiler

This is like 90% joke and 10% a bit of truth.

I really hope i didnt offend anyone with this post

(Titanic is one of the only movies I saw first run twice)...

Btw I still hope JW3 opens with 5.2+ Morbillions. Don't let my lack of faith make you think otherwise.
