I think Disney will be happy, $130m+ is still more than the first Avatar's OW and only the sixth film to break $100m+ OW in December especially when you consider four of the top five are Star War films and the top film is Spider-Man.

 

 

This.

 

Also, people are still doing holiday shopping and whatnot. The numbers during that Christmas Day through New Year's stretch will really paint a clearer picture.

All this Spin.

From Deadline:

 

"Engine’s PostTrak reports that 41% of all moviegoers are buying tickets day of, meaning a lot of walk-up business."

 

Let's see how that translates in the coming weeks.

 

Does that seem kinda low to anyone else?

Id like to apologize for igniting the Marvel rankings earlier (though i only wanted to know what Zatts favourite MCU movie is) BUT id also like to not apologize because @Cap gave us all the mission for the 100+ pages weekend thread.

Yeah... Given it opened with the same calendar configuration and date in 2016, best to look back at Rogue One's run but with, I expect given SW movies being more frontloaded, slightly better overall legs. It did have very good weekdays 12/19 through 12/23 but its weekdays the following week of 12/26 through 12/30 were insanely good. Most had huge, huge increases over the previous week's weekdays.

Not with that attitude, we won't.

China had 43% moviegoers buying tickets day of on Friday, though it's two different market. Is 41% high in usa standard?

[cory]

I'd have to do the math but I would guess this is doing the exact same number of tickets as Avatar 1 would have sold opening weekend without the snowstorm on the east coast. The main obstacle since 13 years ago is that the MCU has trained audience's expectations for what an action sci-fi franchise script should be like.

what's the overall WW OW numbers looking like?

The fact so many people are buying tickets the day of goes to show that it's not frontloaded and that no one should expect it to be. Imagine a lot of people don't want to commit to a 192 minute movie (+ at least 20 minutes of previews with all the trailers released these past few weeks taking advantage of the real estate) unless they absolutely know they can (and thus don't purchase tickets until they know they have the time).

380 M - 420 M

[kayumanggi]

India (5.9 M) made more than the UK (4.5 M).

2.35 (+62%)

1.9 (-19%)

 

$5.7m (-49%) wouldn't be a bad hold, all things considered. Small chance it could nudge its way to 450 still.

At this rate my diff from avg may rival Thanksgiving @XXR Tulkun Rider 😳

Looks like a whiff, barely +15.

 

Gotta say I don’t love how avatar was approximately the least important film this weekend and the two movie making zilch the most
