If Avatar had gotten the expected rollout (4000 locations or so) would it have won the weekend?

I think that Sat jump is still underestimated factor cause people take Friday as be all. Hopefully Avatar stays above 10M with actuals. Disney should have given it more theaters, could have challenged DWD.

I am not sure why they only go for 1800 location. Does this mean only 1800 theaters are able to play 3D?

A solid start for Don’t Worry Darling then, if frontloaded in the US. $35m budget. I’m sure the curiosity factor will give it a good run on PVOD too. 
 

-42% is a good hold for The Woman King too.

The Invitation grossed an estimated $1.00M this weekend (from 1,676 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $23.08M.#InvitationMovie #BoxOffice @SonyPictures @InvitationMovie

Deadline Anthony is spinning shit today. Not losing his mind but still spinning

At the end of the day, Wilde made an arthouse film,

And finally after battling denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, Big Tony has finally reached the last pillar of grief: Acceptance

Also, let’s have the continued come-to-Jesus that the fall marketplace isn’t at its pre-pandemic prime, all pics coming in this weekend at an estimated $61.8M. This same weekend back in 2019 saw all titles grossing $123.4M

probably, but it's better to make less but give out more quality viewings.

Having people going to a 2D showing on a 2k screen then going "Huh I don't get it, how is this so popular" is not what you want

CUANDO SEA JOVEN - $270K (315 theaters)

Hard spin all over Film Twitter from the "pundits" right now.

This weekend proved I have a lot to relearn when it comes to predicting BO.

This is a stunning result. Bring on Avatar 2 to break all records. I'm starting to believe those 1B domestic predictions are not that crazy anymore.

DWD has done around the higher end of expectations considering what sales were and how it had fan heavy demand. 

 

Walkups were pretty good every day.

Barbarian grossed an estimated $4.80M this weekend (from 2,890 locations), which was a 26% decrease from last weekend. Estimated total domestic gross stands at $28.43M.#Barbarian #BoxOffice @20thcentury @20thHorror
