Much bigger drop for TGM that I expected. 

Probably due to it being available on streaming. $700M is locked though.

Wish I had checked when I ran showtimes, but does anyone know if the IMAX re-release had previews last week?

If it holds, that number probably seals the deal on Bullet Train missing 100M unless it somehow drops sub-30% next weekend. 90M/3x will happen, dunno if it passes 95M.

 

It'll be $6-7m behind JOHN WICK 2 (a perfect comp) on Monday which stalled at $92m. Falling behind further every weekend. $100m is extinct.

This wouldn't be a bad OW for Beast if not for that budget, why was it $36 million as opposed to Crawl's $13.5M?

Realistic-looking CGI lions don't come cheap, I assume. Just ask The Lion King '19 (I'm assuming they used the same technology here).

 

Enjoy this last weekend of at least semi-solid openers for almost a month. About to get depressing starting next weekend when the #1 movie (which I assume will be The Invitation by default?) will likely be making numbers in the single digits.

Depends which IMAX rerelease you mean …

 

Bullet Train still had the first show, ET had 4p and 7p, so it’s possible TGM may have snuck in a few later shows, but it wouldn’t have been too many. I believe Paramount was really targeting an actual Friday release with bonus content included as well

JW2 is not “a perfect comp” primarily because it faced a murder’s row of competition in weeks 3-7: Get Out, Logan, Kong Skull Island, Beauty & Beast, Power Rangers (what a March!).
 

Meanwhile BT has a mostly empty calendar ahead of it, and will hold far better than JW2 by % for the rest of it run, but would still have an uphill (though plausible, see Lost City, which BT is ahead of after 2 full weeks) path to $100M

God that late feb/march/early april was even more insane when you add video games to the mix

B Cinemascore for Beast

I guess probably the release time had to do with it. Back when Demon Slayer released, there weren't many movies around. It probably got a lot of casual viewers.

 

Also Demon Slayer was a bit special, DBS:SH, seems like just another DBS movie.

 

 

Demon Slayer is also currently a lot more popular than Dragonball which does have a very solid fanbase. So this is still a great opening for Dragonball

Lost city had 9m in its third weekend while BT won't even hit 7.5m so on Sunday LC will be more. That movie won't reach 100m. It'll be under 1m this week. Accept it. Sony lost money. I know they're upset.

Let’s see what BT gets for the weekend, and it has stronger weekdays, plus LC didn’t have PLFs to lose in week 3; their paths are pretty darn close after 2-3 weeks:

 

LC = $39.8 / $19.8 / $12.4

BT = $41.1 / $19.9 / $11.5 (?)

 

I don’t expect BT to leg out quite as well even without much competition, so it probably won’t match the $105M total … but also won’t be all that far off either

It's 1.4m ahead of LC but It will be 2m behind of LC on Sunday. How can it reach LC genius? The movie won't hit 100m

You’ll have to scroll back 8 years worth of threads to find her last hit. 

[Legion Again]

But you’ve only gotta wait 3 years for her next hit
