Mar 24 - 26 weekend thread - John Wick ̶3̶ 4 opens - woke up to a 5.9 monday | Jonathan is in Majors trouble | Shazam 2 crushed the Ant |

Recommended Posts

I’d still put money down on just over $80m OW.

 

I know a few people who hadn’t seen any Wick films, but binged the trilogy over the past month in anticipation of 4. It’s pretty clear by the expanding returns of each sequel that the JW series has some of the best WOM in Hollywood. The series probably has a better overall perception than the MCU right now, even before the JW4 review embargo broke

 This is what I think as well, with the possibility that the word of mouth really lets it take off to push it over $80M, but that's probably more of an outlier scenario. 

 

On a different note, if this weekend does about $145M across all films, it should let March 2023 catch 2022 with a few days to spare.

 

January and February were in far excess of 2022 totals, but March 2022 had the first genuine hit, so, 2023 beating it is impressive. Especially as it's doing so with a diverse slate.

 

The irony is that next month, the question is whether Mario can lift a pretty weak April calendar over last year.


April will be quite solid. Mario should gross 250M+ through the month and there's D&D, that could hold very well to gross near 100M or even more. Add in JW4 sure to be solid run (90-110M), and late runs for Creed, Shazam! and Scream (easily combining 50M+). That's 500M before thinking in the rest of the schedule.

There are many wide releases, and a couple of them look like 25M+ grossers to me: AIR, The Pope's Exorcist, Renfield, Evil Dead Rise. Watch out if just one of them overperforms.
I don't get why there is a sentiment April has a weak calendar. It has 13 wide releases acording to the-numbers! The market needs to offer more variety of movies.

I expect Renfield and Evil Dead to be 50M grosses.

John Wick minus first 15-20 mins in 3rd one and people saying "oh" after hearing his name in first one, is a big bore for me.

 

My ratings are I think

It feels weaker after a really strong March, but yes, as you break it down, it's a pretty safe bet. 

 

The two late March holdovers though (Wick and D&D) will likely each deliver a stronger result than anything from last April other than Sonic, but none of the actual April releases outside of Mario will likely beat either Fantastic Beasts or Morbius.

 

But as you said, it's a month with a high volume of wide releases, where we're getting multiple films each weekend. That takes the pressure off for any one particular film to perform, but, all it takes is one to break out.

JW3 went 9.63x off a $5.9M Thursday. You can probably reduce that IM about 10-15% for increased fan frontload and preview start time. 

 

not 80 million is what youre saying

Think they're all very watchable 7/10 movies, this one might be a bit different from what im hearing though

Shazam is going to crash even harder internationally than DOM this weekend...the film is DEAD in china, it went below 100k on friday with a 93% drop lol. SK dropped 86% for a whopping 9k gross. Asia really hates these films, jesus.
