So far, TGM run reminds me of Wonder Woman's run.

What even was the major pull for those extreme legs ? was it just being the first women led superhero movie ??

I'd say it was sold as the first women led superhero movie, but it really wasn't (they pretend Catwoman never happened). This kind of pull is possible only in US because of cultural differences, but it would never work OS because it was nothing special as a movie.

20m Friday 😟

Would you trust early friday from deadline or empirecity. 

 

 

Top Gun 2 is expected to beat War of the Worlds on Saturday; the Joseph Kosinski-directed sequel eyeing a second Friday of $20M, -61% against last Friday (+ previews) on its way to a 3-day of $68M, -46%. Some rival studios see it much higher, but again, it’s still early.

Deadline calling 2M Fri for DS2, barely 40% over Thu. They're estimating 6.5M(-59%).

The early streaming release announcment effect.

 

DS2 is dead. 400M might be too.

[keysersoze123]

I would ignore early projections for DS2. its not making that much and its still just 2PM PST. We need to wait until evening to get an accurate estimate. That said its not an outrageous number. Weekdays this week have been strong. So smaller friday increase.

400m maybe in jeopardy.

4.) The Bad Guys (Uni) 2,869 (-75) theaters, Fri $850K(-32%), 3-day $3.1M (-29%), Total $87M/Wk 7

 

Good hold for Bad Guys, could top Encanto as second biggest animation of the pandemic. 

[keysersoze123]

 

 

DS2 to 600m at this rate. Greatest comeback evah. :-)

[Alex SciChannel]

Mega jump lol

Feel like Lightyear is gonna kill an otherwise light chance it had at fudging to 100m DOM, with Summer weekdays approaching. Still, Hell of a run and I too think it'll beat Encanto.

Bad Guys ruled. I was shocked at how good it was. 

[DAJK]

Just wait guys, we all think Top Gun will be #1 this weekend. But Sony hasn’t released Morbius numbers yet.
