Missing is likely going to end up making more than Searching ($26M). A pleasant surprise.

I’d say that’s an over performance for sure. A pleasant surprise. 

 

Maybe $8.5M for the weekend?

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Damn, that seems like a crazy number for Missing and a very high internal multiplier to me.

[M37]

Avatwo = $4.654 (+137%) —> $21M 

 

(I’m expecting it have a higher Saturday increase than PiB)

[kayumanggi]

$4.65M AVATAR: TWOW

$3.43M MISSING

$2.75M PUSS IN BOOTS: TLW

$2.62M M3GAN

$2.60M A MAN CALLED OTTO

 

[Brainbug]

Thats actually quite a nice number for Missing!

[kayumanggi]

We need PLANE numbers. 😶

Very nice 34% drop for Avatar 2.

Deadline update:

Thank to the legs on Christmas holdovers Avatar: The Way of Water and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and M3GAN running to $72.6M, the 2023 box office is surging to an estimated $512M for the Jan. 1-Jan. 22 period, +38% over last year which was at $370M per box office sources.

Great for Missing!! I’m not sure if Searching’s total is achievable (going to have to wait and see how next weekend’s hold is) I think a 8.5/25 run is definitely possible. Great result!

So like...is there a reason why Missing is doing on par with Searching here like this? Because I know this isn't really a Searching sequel per se, but that film didn't really have much staying power or longevity after its release.

that would track 4.65>9.3>7, which seems a bit high for Sunday don't you think?

It's way too high. Sunday holds in January are neutered by football.

Yeah 19-20m seems more reasonable to me

It had a good (and aggressive) marketing campaign with a clear hook (girl looking for her missing - and kidnapped? - mother) and seeing the earlier movie clearly isn't required to see this one. The reviews were good too. Thus, not really a surprise it found somewhat of an audience.

I didn’t get round to watching Searching. So now I’m searching for it, but it appears missing on the streamers before I can watch Missing. 

[CoolioD1]

oh wow i didn't even know there was a searching sequel (?) i loved that movie.
