You have to make sure that families are spending money on watching your movie, the longer the wait before its on streaming, the more likely they'll go to the theater or buy a copy on digital or physical. Shocks me that Disney forgot that.

Agreed. Today's climate doesn't want to see a film like this imo.

Then people should stop complaining about Hollywood not making this kind of stuff. You get what you pay for.

Also, a kid wanting to watch a movie in cinema probably bring in another two consumers (parents). Streaming just kill that extra consumers who would otherwise not interested watching your movies at all since kids can easily stream the movie at home without parent accompany.

Canada will drop hard today as tuesdays are uber boosted there. So this is going to be 1st "normal weekday" as Easter Monday behaved like a semi holiday. But you never know for sure. Mario could show real strength and have a better hold than norm.

Yes / no Again, when you look at historical comps that would be at the higher end, but not the worst. Would be better to be fine with 10.5-11 than higher and be disappointed.

A 30% drop from a strong Tuesday isn't bad, it's within the expected range imo. 70+ this weekend still very much on the table.

[MovieMan89]

I’m still in shock an animated film is pulling these kind of numbers on April weekdays in the first place. Even if it did drop all the way to sub 10 by Thu, I’d still expect a monster weekend. 

[MovieMan89]

Right now, I am on board the 7th biggest 2nd weekend of all time train until proven otherwise. 

[DisposedData]

10m puts in good shape for the weekend still. But yeah 11m would be better and likely indicate a second weekend drop below 50%

Chapek didn't understand.

Lets aim for under 50% and over 75m before jumping the crazy train 😂😂

Its not hitting 90m+ 

 

And I will gladly eat my crow if it does, but not even BOP is willing to go that far, and they are already bullish.
