[Carlangonz]

Rise of Gru should kick with 4,500 screens; same as Lightyear.

 

Dominion taking a hit as well and Maverick is holding most of its shows/screens.

The first column is the position in the All Time Top 50. At some point Minions was the #1 movie ever in admissions.

Some screens for Lightyear have switched to Minions 2 over the weekend, specially in busier markets. Crazy. Even The Black Phone seems to have more shows than the astronaut!

 

DS2 kept less than 50 screens in the whole country, will it gross enough to pass The Avengers?

[Carlangonz]

Yeah, Minions and Baby Gru should aim $260M+

It will but gap is just sooooooo close

[Purple Minion]

Deadline: Minions 2 debuted to $1.5M across 920 locations and 4,053 screens, taking 60% of the market share. Including previews this brings the cume through Thursday to $3.2M.

Do we have comps with other animated films for OD? Is that a good number and is it on track for 260m lc OW?

[Purple Minion]

It already grossed 40% of Lightyear's total OW, so signs are good.

[Carlangonz]

Studios still pushing the narrative that shows starting at 10AM in 60%+ of market still count as previews is beyond ridiculous at this point. Matter of months before they do the same for DOM BO.

But yeah can't see it falling below $220M atm. $260M just requires a bit better performance than Dominion which is quite doable. 

Love & Thunder following a similar pace as Multiverse of Madness in presales. Thinking $30M-$40M in previews and $90M-$110M for full opening day and $320M-$350M for the 4-Day + Previews frame.

[Carlangonz]

lol people showing up in suits for Rise of Gru is a well spread trend here as well. It's either that or showing up dressed in full yellow yellow.

 

Strong walk-ins throughout Friday. It'll show great holds between Sat and Sun.

 

[Purple Minion]

Deadline reports that Minions 2 increased on Friday to cume $5.2M so far with a projected $12.2M for the session.

 

I think Sat and Sun will be higher than the projections 

[Carlangonz]

$260M here we go. At least $250M which is on par with first Minions' 4-Day.

[Carlangonz]

Around $340M for Lightyear by Monday morning so Baby Gru will pass it before next weekend.

LightYear - $16.2M (Total)

[Purple Minion]

$12 4M OW estimate for Minions 2.

double posting // sorry

Just above $250M. Great result, hopefully Sunday manages a stronger increase. 

 

Unless something has gone incredibly wrong that's disastrous for Lightyear. Puts FSS at less than $20M which would be a 70% drop. 

 

[Purple Minion]

Other totals: JW:D $41.2M, very close or even over DS2 in lc depending on the ER; TGM $13.6M, another good hold; The Black Phone reached a great $8 3M, highest OS market.

[Carlangonz]

Superb for The Black Phone. With a clean July it should mantain its status as a solid counter-programming.

 

I think it's just under Strange for Dominion but should pass it anyway on Monday.

 

Seems like another sub-50% for Maverick give it or take. Breathtaking.
