Weekend Thread - 03/31-04/02 | #FRI - D&D $15.3M, JW4 $7.9M, HOS - $2.1M, Scream VI $1.55M, Creed III $1.4M, Shazam $1.2M &1001 $700K

Thats a decent preview number. Im hoping that WOM catches on and it will be closer to 40M than low 30s this weekend.

[filmlover]

Hopefully it hits $40M but $35M or so would still be really good too, at least when compared to what it was looking to make a few weeks ago.

Some comps.

Another worthy comparison is TLC, with EA the total preview was $3.25m ($2.5m preview + $0.75m EA) to $30,5m OW.

The pessimists in this thread are wild to me, but maybe I'm off base idk. From the moment this was announced until about three weeks ago, this was universally considered another King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword or Robin Hood 2018 obvious fantasy flop. If you had told me it would open to $25 million on February 1st, I personally would have been blown away. So $40 million/120 total would be outstanding to me. Heading towards more OW than I thought it would do total a month ago.

John Wick Chapter IV

 

Week 1 - $94.6M

[MightyDargon]

I'm pretty satisfied it actually outdid Uncharted's opening in true Thurs. after all the "it needs a real star like Tom Holland!" talk.

I badly want a sequel. What worldwide number assures that?

If OW finally is around 40M, I can see DnD grossing close to 150M DOM, and that would make Paramount quite happy.

As someone already said, a month ago not many were thinking 100M was possible for DnD

Circa 4x legs? Gonna be tough; especially noting Mario is coming out on Wed.

Paramount only financed 50% of the film so they'll be fine with how DnD does as they have the majority of the markets in terms of distribution. 

 

Given Hasbro is selling eOne, I wonder what will happen to future Hasbro films, will they go with Paramount as a partner or do it on a studio by studio basis. 

 

It does make me wonder if Magic: The Gathering might be adapted although it's similar to DnD so perhaps Hasbro is waiting to see how DnD before developing it.

Being a surprisingly good movie probably helps in the end. I was iffy about this the whole time but I'm seeing it tomorrow after all the positive reviews/WOM.

Runtime destroyed JW4 on weekdays and now losing PLFs will damage it badly this weekend. Fuck 

[GOGODanca]

The Batman did ~7.9x first true thursday ,Wick gets to 30m if thats the case but Batman didn't lose any PLFs whereas Wick loses a lot

[Legion Again]

Expected previews mostly. 40-45 imo.   
 

JW seems unlikely to pass QM now

 

Not sure about 60 for Shazam — could it be the movie that dethrones BvS legs instead of QM ☠️

Wow is that 4.1m True Thursday right? Seems to be significantly higher than what Keyzer and Charlie thought? Maybe the studio including the Wednesday early shows?

 

If 4.1 is the case, doesn't that make $40m more likely?

JW4 will recover after this weekend from losing PLF´s, still think it can take down QM domestic

 I think it would be great if it can just reach 200m

Because Holland is not real star, he doesn't have a single movie where he carries it without help of other big stars, usually in dady figure roles.
