I wonder why they are projecting only 21% growth for A2 on Monday whereas Puss In Boots, BP2, Babylon etc are projected growth of 30-40% on Monday. Even Fabelmans is being projected to have almost 70% growth on Monday. Then you have Violent Night where they are actually projecting a decrease of 30% on Monday which I find bit surprising.

With such a riveting title I'm shocked it didn't break ENDGAME's OW record.

[Alex SciChannel]

I'm confused about Box Office Pro's reporting here: 

 

Since the film was released last Wednesday, its five-day total stands at $18.2M. Compared to the five-day totals for other comparable films

 

If the 5-day total is 18.253M and the 3-day is reported as 11.35M that means the Wednesday and Thursday combined is 6.9M. But it is not. It's 6.1M. What is this inconcistency in the math vs reporting?

 

I see this in Deadline too.

 

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (Uni) 4,099 theaters, Fri $3.8M, Sat $2.8M, Sun $4.7M Mon $6.4M 3-day $11.35M, 4-day $17.77M/Total $24.6M/Wk 1

 

They say the 6-day is 24.6M and the 4-day is 17.77M. If we subtract those we should get the combined Wednesday and Thursday of 6.1M but we don't. Instead we get 6.83M.

 

What the hell is happening here!?!

I know you’re joking but my vision for what this movie is VS what I thought it was based off that title is drastically different.

Christmas is over after today so it's natural that Violent Night will start to decline.

Illumination have re-engineered the brains of family audiences to remove any quality control whatsoever. 

 

Puss In Boots uses wit, wordplay and character comedy. Who wants that when you can have yellow sausages squeaking while doing badly executed pratfalls and you have loads of massive celebrities doing voiceovers that there is no reason celebrities have to do since they can barely even be recognised and they're delivering dialogue automated by Excel.

 

It took over a month for people to notice Bad Guys was good, and it eventually came good. We can only hope something similar happens here.

 

minions 2 is great though

Even with the still limited expansion, are we anywhere near the phrase "The Fablemans has been rejected by audiences" yet? Or at least "The wide audience simply wasn't interested in the premise underpinning The Fablemans"?

 

$40m price tag.

 

 

the big problem is that vod is also underperforming

I had to force my dad to watch the movie, he thought the premise sounded awful

[KlapEastwood]

At least one theater in Birmingham has sold out every 3D show for Avatar today. Impressive.

that needed a 90+ mc for anyone to care, a movie like that is dead if it barely hangs on to an 80

I'm not sure The Fabelmans reported numbers make any sense. It increased a normal/expected amount on Friday and Sunday, but somehow it not only didn't drop 25-30% on Saturday it went up 23%? 

Occam’s razor is just a reporting oops, but if not I could plausibly see how that particular film might skew in enough directions to be an anomaly

Interesting that total DOM BO is projected to be below the Thanksgiving weekend 3 day (Fri-Sun)...with the weather not being as bad as planned for the south and east, I did expect something closer to the Thanksgiving number (since I expected $100M for the weekend pre-any weather)...so, I can't say the overall market looks good right now...
