Today, It will cross Lightyear.

[Purple Minion]

$1.8M on Wednesday for TWOW, good enough for a $19.4M total. Fri could be huge, Sat will be impacted by Christmas' Eve.

Rogue One fell 70% this same weekend 6 years ago so anything o/u 50% for this one is a win. 

 

Puss in the Boots may aim a $60M+ opening.

 

Anything else is pretty much go including Wakanda Forever which won't reach $700M in the end.

 

 

[Purple Minion]

Ouch for Wakanda. All 3 MCU movies this year had skinny legs.

[Purple Minion]

A2 did $1.5m on Thu, $20.9M total. ER stubbornly stable, 405-410M lc.

[Purple Minion]

$5.4M weekend for A2, $26.3M total, 500M lc done and dusted.

[Issac Newton]

$3.1M aka MEX$60M for Puss in Boot

It had similar drop to No Way Home.  It's Weekday was stronger but... Idk I am more in favour of 50-60% of NWH right now.

Softer Christmas than expected. Odds for 1B lc lengthened unless it pulls stellar weekdays again.

[Carlangonz]

Yeah seems like a tight race to $1B for The Way of Water. January it's still clear and empty so it favours it.

This weekend doesn't really matter. NWH on same "dates" was ~155M. NWH did 590M+ after 25th DEC, A2 should be 525M+ surely IMO, possibly 600M+.

[Shanks]

Last Year Christmas Weekend: Thu to Sun: 47 Movies, Total of $301m and 4.4m Visitors - NWH topped with $204m [Sing 2 & Matrix came in] 

This Year Christmas Weekend: Thu to Sun: 60 Movies, Total of $171m and 2.2m Visitors - Avatar 2 topped with $116.1m [Puss in Boot 2  & Man Called Otto released]

Thanks Shanks. There is a difference with Christmas 2021, as also pointed out by Deadline:

 

Quote

The market has been soft overall the past few weeks, with a focus on Christmas celebrations after two pandemic years during which audiences faced restrictions around the holiday. School vacations run until January 9 and the family audience should pick up after this weekend.

 

[charlie Jatinder]

Last XMAS weekend had boxing day on SUN, this year its on MON, that changes a lot. It will be a bit closer if you consider comparison for dates and not day.

23-26/12/2021 vs 23-26/12/2022

[Purple Minion]

CANACINE playing games again. Weekly tally for A2 = 233.4M lc, which would give a total of 503.3M lc from OD, close to what's been reported. 

 

However, total cume is shown as... 542.9M lc. Not a single clue what's going on.
