Dude unless something change Fast X is opening with 60-65M based on presales, this is not destroying GOTG3 chances of having a good run like, at all

There is a major film opening every week after FAST X for the next month +.

 

We have seen films taking a hit in the face of big releases this whole year and there's about to be a major release every week, and MCU in general has become front loaded.

Yes, i think Little Mermaid for example is way more likely to hurt Guardians than Fast X 

 

But honestly, what this movie really needs is a great second week and an amazing hold on second weekend, if it manages that it can behave closer to a typical sequel going forward and still finish with +300 DOM

I'm honestly just happy there is so many movies I want to see again coming out.  Last few years while there was lots of great films, releases were spread out and there was so many droughts. 

 

This year I can barely keep up.

 

Seeing GOTG tomorrow, that'll be my 21st movie at the theatre this year already.

Yeah i feel this is the first year since the pandemic that really feels crowded , let´s enjoy it because with WGA strike is likely next year will be less crowded again

why dont action blockbusters have musical sequences?

there are very few I can think of that wouldn't benefit from that 

 

[Cooper Legion]

Man I remember we had some good discussion a year ago about how to project final for  these May kickoff MCUs based on Sun and Sat @M37

 

Going to try to dig it up I think

I kinda liked it that way; being able to see the movies I wanted at my own pace and not too worried it'd lose all of its showings if i waited a week

30% jump, very promising 

 

If it manages 20% drop or less tomorrow, 300M is locked 

[eXtacy]

So about a 19% Saturday drop for GOTG3

 

Better than

Ant-Man 3    27%

Dr Strange 2 36%

Wakanda      33%

Thor 4           39%

 

Good early signs for legs.

Since we don't have any Asgard numbers yet, I would guess 39ish Sat from the same source/method we used for A2. Usual caveats, smaller chain and high variance etc. 

39m about right

So probably 115m OW.

[MOVIEGUY]

Guardians 3 is fuego. The Marvels looks fun, it's a good trailer at least. MCU is comin' back

$120 mil OW is coming. Hold onto your butts.

I wonder what source that was.

Quote

 

The threequel’s Friday to Saturday ease is on par with the first film’s -18% between Friday/previews and Saturday, but lower than the -8.5% dip between those respective two days on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. However, GOTG3 in regards to its box office trajectory was never suppose to be like GOTG2, and that’s not due to threequelitis distrib sources tell me. More on that tomorrow morning as Disney might be looking at more money here. Many will try to poke holes in Marvel, and yes, there is a concern about superhero fatigue, but it’s a $100M+ opening start to summer, so, shut up. The motion picture industry will relish this opening for GOTG3.
