Grrrrr why does this weekend thread have to turn into a barbie thread. That movie has enough threads/clubs to discuss. Its nothing to do with Mario as well. 

 

Anyway let me be cautious. Mario at this point is driven a lot by walkups. This 59m estimate was provided really early. While its possible to go higher, it can go lower as well. I would not call this a conservative projection. hopefully @charlie Jatinder or he who must not be named will provide an estimate in the evening hours which would be closer to actual. I wonder if @RthMav could come in for this. It has been ages since he was last seen. 

 

 

Yeah I just tried to cool down another forum with that 59M number.  

 

You still think >55M looks good? Charlie said 53M earlier today>

no one said it’s doing mario numbers. and what don’t people understand about having a movie for 18-45 year old women? they will bring their boyfriends and husbands. this is so obviously a male dominated site lmao

 

There will be alot of bargaining going on that weekend. 

 

"Okay we can watch Barbie but you gotta see Oppenheimer next weekend".

Not sure. Possible but not probable.

Man, that would be such a bummer. Of course it's still an OUTSTADING result, but after a 59M prediction by Deadline it would be a shame...

[screambaby]

Anyone have numbers for Friday for scream 6

[DAJK]

So, on average across markets I'm tracking, Mario SO FAR today (3:45 PST), counting ONLY shows that have already started (not looking at evening pre-sales) is at 138% of Wednesday's TOTAL GROSS.

Dont take it as certainity. Just not seeing it based on trend but as I said its driven by walkups and have to see where things are late today. I am sure both Empire/Charlie will provide updates in the evening.

Deadline over predicting for once?

Empire City did say like 1hr ago that he thinks the floor is 215M+ so he must be pretty confident in the numbers he is seeing. Let's wait then...

ok. its possible its 59m or something close. But let us wait for update later this evening. 

 

Edit: He did post that at 148PM PST. Still too early.

Well he's probably got better Sat/Sun projections than Deadline.  If it really did $59M I'd be confident in like $220M, but DL is only at $195M.

Hopefully this makes Universal reconsider putting FNAF day-and-date streaming. It’s not getting anywhere near Mario numbers even with an exclusive theatrical run, but it could easily do Megan numbers.

 

Also as a Gen-Z myself, and probably the forum’s resident tiktoker, Barbie is going to be massive. It’s this year’s Rise of Gru. Wont be AS big as that film, but a 75/230 run wouldn’t surprise me.

I think FNAF is in for an 80% second weekend drop, but we’ll see. Can’t see it going as high as M3GAN.

What's FNAF? Friday Night Apple Fritters?

That is a no brainer. If 59M or anything close to it is real, then there is no way it fails to do 200M.

It's the bear game movie.

If you're an adult and are looking for a good movie to watch while the kiddos watch Mario, might I recommend Showing Up?

i really want to see this, it looks great but as usual another A24 movie that's undated in the UK. will probably get quietly released in august and i won't even notice.
