3/3 - 3/5 Weekend Thread | Creed III gets the biggest franchise opening and MGM opening ever with 58.7M. #AintMan drops 61% for 12.5M. Jonathan Majors still getting paid fat stacks

Thing to remember with Puss is that it hit physical media this week, so that $2 redbox rental is way cheaper than theater tixs 😉

yes. At least things are back in place. Those ratios were looking out of wack for a while. 3.1m makes much better sense than early estimates.

With March already looking strong overall, it would also be great news if we could have a better-than-expected April in between the beginning of what's going to be a massive summer. Mario is going to be huge obviously, but it would also be nice if other titles with potential like Air and Renfield overperformed as well.

Antman will challange BVS mult…

What kind of weekend are we looking at with a Fri like this? Does Deadline's estimate track?

It will most likely get a big boost on Mario's OW.

Sing 2 had it last year when Bad Guys opened

Maybe 12.5? They’re in the right ballpark.

 

AM&tW nominal looks dead, quite an embarrassing faceplant here. Lost out on about 150M DOM because of quality in my estimation — and won’t be surprised if we see a lot more of that this saga.

Mid tier franchise movies succeeding isn't something people really doubted, now try making a 50-75m original and see how well that works out

The fact that this movie barely made it past the 2.5x budget point when 5-7 years ago its probably a 300m grosser

Another record which will be owned by Quantamania is lowest grossing 100M+ opener. X-Men 3 with 234M held that record till now.

MODOK was one of the lowlights for me. The dick jokes should stay in Rick and Morty

I'm not one to focus so much on poor performances, but I was curious what the worst multipliers were for comic book films. Where is Quantumania going to fall? Can it stabilize?
