Huh?

With a 32m Wednesday and 26m Thuraday there is literally no way it can go lower than 150m and that's being hyper conservative. That would imply you think it will stay flat from Thursday for all three days if the weekend which is just not going to happen.

Staying flat from Thursday for the next 3 days would be 136M. Saying 140 5-day is "locked" means exactly what it says. If you think it's doing 160 then you also think 140 is locked

2010s: Disney, Pixar, Comic Book Movies

 

2020s: Universal, Illumination, Video Game Movies ❓️️

 

🤔

Early 2010s was YA novel adaptations. Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight etc

Incredibles 2 🙂

 

If you had said superhero movies instead of comic book movies that would count! 😏

 

Although that's all just semantics, I suppose. Ah well, just me being silly.

Better than 22M but still not great. I was hoping for 28M+.

 

35M Friday?

Lol what? $26m would be a fantastic-18% Wed-Thurs decline for a huge new weekday opener

Interesting proposition. 🤔 

 

But I don't see Universal coming close to the same financial windfall as Disney. 

 

Disney had a ton of Marvel characters, a ton of successful Pixar franchises and a ton of animation classics to remake, then they had Star Wars too.

 

These movies dominated the top 20 worldwide.

 

Universal has Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious which are on a downward trajectory. And Minions along with Nintendo Cinematic Universe. But not much of this stuff is crossing 1 billion at this point.

 

TL;DR

 

Universal has long way to go to match peak Disney.

After talking to my chief advisor, I've been informed that I grossly underestimated Mario's Friday box office. I apologize to his glorious mustache.

Only Harry Potter could hang with the big boys worldwide.

 

Star Wars, Avengers, Frozen, The Lion King were all approaching 2 billion while the best of the YA was squeaking past 1 billion.

God don't remind me. I wanna erase it from my memory. The Maze Runner trilogy was gas and the best of the bunch imo

[Unfitclock]

Other Thursday numbers?

[Brainbug]

Mario is shaping up to be a really fun run to follow. Should it come close to 200M 5-Day, Incredibles 2 is in incredible danger imo.

What are you talking about? This happened 3 years ag.....

 

 

[TheFlatLannister]

If Mario does open $200M+ TGM and Avatar might be going down 

 

It has strong enough WOM for 3.5x Multi and no genre competition until June 

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

Seems solid

 

Think this should hit at least 50m domestic
