Is there some kind of record for a super wide release movie (3,000+ theaters) making more money in weekends 2-4 than it made its opening weekend? Because Puss has done that and I'm not sure I've ever seen that before. 

You ever heard of this tiny lil film called titanic?

While unlikely,  Zoe Zaldana could star in 9 2B movies. Won´t happen as I don´t think Kang Dynasti or Secret Wars will get that but still wild to think about.

 

I have no doubt in my mind seeing the monster legs on Avatar that all five movies will be 2B+

Titanic opened in less than 3,000 cinemas. Though to be fair, at the time not many movies opened in 3,000+ cinemas. The Ring (2002) opened with $15m, then went on to have 18.4m, 18.1m, and 15.5m second, third, and fourth weekends. However, just like Titanic, it opened in less than 3,000 cinemas.

Wednesday and Thursday figures are rolled into the weekend in certain overseas markets where the box office "weekend" is defined as Thu-Sun or Wed-Sun.

 

The international weekend gross of $88.6m isn't a Fri-Sun gross, it's a sum of the "weekend" grosses in each overseas market, so that's Fri-Sun in some markets, but Thu-Sun or Wed-Sun in some others.

 

Curious if its Sat-Sun for Japan.

It was indeed sat-sun for JP for decades but it just got changed to fri-sun a couple weeks ago.

Fair enough I guess though titanic opened in 2.6k and that number didn't really change much its first 5 weekends (only climbed to 2.7k until it hit 2.8k on its 7th weekend, 2.9k on its 8th, and 3k on its 9th), so not really all that different. But you're right, not 3k+.

Japan switched to mostly opening Fri instead of opening Sat a decade or so ago so the opening weekend figs for it are fss but the BO weekend is still just satSun so the Japan component of reported 2nd 3rd 4th etc OS weekend is just the 2day.

Nah this got changed too like 2 weeks ago. Weekend is reported as fri-sun now. Should've been changed ages ago when the switch to fri started happening imo but it is what it is I guess. I don't mind per se but since every record has already been set on the 2day system it's going to make comparisons awkward.

The Greatest Showman technically did not go below its opening 3-day weekend until Week 7 but that was with Wednesday opening and Christmas Eve deflation... both of which I suppose apply to Puss as well.

Well Puss is the first for a sequel.

So what range is A2 looking at when it's completed its worldwide run?

 

@XXR the Conqueror

$2.275-2.425B

Until we know otherwise we have to expect it to follow rogue one's trajectory....

Looking forward Monday's actuals. Are we still looking at 8.2M?

That's the latest estimate we have. Knowing Disney's tendencies the actual number might be closer to $9M for Monday. Friday and Saturday can go up as well.

[kayumanggi]

I wonder how many screens this will get, though.

its also super rare to see a Brady led team getting blown out in playoffs..I can't even remember the last time it happened

The only example I can think of is the 2009 season when Baltimore beat New England 33-14 in the wild card round. 

[GOGODanca]

In the china thread it was mentioned that shang-chi is still looked at as a big no no over there so the avengers movies might still be locked out over there
