New Years Weekend Thread || Dec. 30-Jan. 1 || ATWOW $67.4M 3rd WE - $88.8M 4-Day WE — Orange Panther $22.6M 4-Day!

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Deadline's $67M projection was overambitious in hindsight, but any increase over the previous weekend is nothing short of fantastic. $65M is more or less locked at this point.

I don't think so. 

 

Overall expectations was 66-68M, it should still get close or match 66M. 

 

The only difference is that SAT drop was slightly bigger than expected (NYD celebrations + the games + long running time as the reasons) and SUN jump should be higher as well to compensate. 

 

But the weekend itself it'll still match the expectations imo.

 

 

Overall general expectations few days ago was 50-55, mainly the fans claimed 60+.

Check Deep Wang's third weekend thread, you'll see very differently.

I’m guessing Disney puts out $63M as their early number. Seems safe enough to get at least a small bump. Either way, 3rd WE > 2nd WE.

I mean yeah, a third weekend increase and at worst probably landing 4th biggest 3rd weekend isn't a bad result by any means. Matching/beating A1 third weekend would've been juicy though, but alas.

That's literally the exact opposite of what that thread shows. 

 

Of the 30 predictions, removing the $1/$2/$100m guesses, the average is $55,088,533 and there are only 4 predictions above $60m.

that's what Jimbo is saying? The expectations were much lower than what we're actually getting?

I guess I'm confused because this is the post Thomas was replying to in the first place:

Have we got ourselves a mini opening weekend situation here?

Spend years saying the opening will be about $140m.

2 week out tracking suggests $180m+

It opens to $135m

claim a disaster

 

So Jimbo says this and then turns around and admits that it's NOT this?

"Expectations" were in flux, because of how Avatwo ran away from RO this week. Had it followed the RO pattern exactly from each daily gross, here's how the weekend would have projected out

 

Mon = $49.9M

Tue = $53.2M (contest closes)

Wed = $56.7M

Thu = $59.7M

Fri = $66.5M

 

With the Sat estimate at $18M, we're coming back down to around $63M. But there really wasn't a consensus of $60M+ until at least the Thursday daily number was in hand on Friday morning

I picked 62mil in the predicition thread, so anyhting over is gravy for me.

Hoping we can hit 65mil.

 

Of course its slightly dissapointing after such a good Friday but like that user said on here, this is the first New year in 3 years where people can let their hair down and actually go out and have fun, and i guess thats exactly what people did.

So the finest boxoffice aficionados of the world predict $55M and then the film pulls off roughly $10M more?

Proof that no one should be underwhelmed. Deadline’s $68M forecast was just too much.

As much of a clown Mr Mendelbrain is, this is the only new news on Puss in Boots. Congrats to it for earning 16M+ this weekend and 130M worldwide!
