Which means Minions will have topped the entire LY DOM run in just 4 days ($123.1M)

Feels like they didn't even tell Chris Evans the actual plot of the movie considering he tweeted this now infamous tweet to explain the concept - which wasn't even the right plot

Since I never cared about the marketing past this trailer and back then I also remember reading this tweet, I legit thought it was about the real person and not a movie Andy watched up until the moment the movie told me what it was when it started lmao.

So L&T dropped 67.7% in its 2nd weekend, whereas Black Widow dropped 67.8% (which is essentially the same.) 

If L&T plays out like BW did, that'll give it a domestic finish of $328M. Since L&T won't have any kind of VOD/PA/whatever for at least 45 days, I'm imagining it can boost at least 10% over BW's post 2nd wknd numbers which would put it right at $340M.

I haven't seen it, but since all they did was add a title card before the movie, I'm pretty sure this was the original idea but had no idea how to market it as such.

Oh man the summer of TDK was special. Never seen so much reaction to a film in the cinemas. I know you guys in the US get it, but it's not a thing in the UK apart from horror festivals. Don't usually get cheers and claps. I watched it 23 times in the cinema in 2018 and it was electric each time. It was also a gamechanger for IMAX, I remember that it was running in the biggest screen in the country until late September, selling out every show. Luckily they still show it at least twice every year, so get a chance to see it again. Over 30 views now haha It amazes every time just quatable that movie is, so many epic lines, scenes, moments. One of the best opening and best endigs ever. If it wasn't for Mulholland Drive, would say it's the film of the decade.

Frozen's real 8th Sunday in wide release was the following one (which was still a bit over TGM's due to MLK holiday bump). That being said, we don't know what Home Alone's 8th Sunday gross was.

He is dating Alba Baptista. The man is taken.

MoM drop 67% 2nd weekend, the same level as TLT. In fact TLT has slightly worse drop but summer midweek boost TLT. If TLT follow MoM’s hold, the running total by the end of 2nd weekend should have been 225m instead of 234m, this suggest TLT get around 8~9m boost from summer midweek. 
 

Similar to lightyear, for a movie that drop 60%+ back to back in 2nd and 3rd weekend and no sub-50% decline, LY’s 2.3x leg is actually a “surprise”.
