That Sunday drop is nuts for an opening weekend. I did notice that the verified audience score rose a decent amount to 91% or so as of today, so word of mouth is slowly developing perhaps?

I remember that one because it was so amusingly pessimistic and borderline impossible as you said. TLM is already past the floor of their DOM prediction and almost past the ceiling of their WW prediction after only 2 weeks.

 

 

 

But it isn't sniffing a billion and even Variety had an article that went something like "TLM was expected to make a billion and now is struggling to make half of it". Point is, ridiculously low expectations or even trollingly low are better than ridiculously high expectations that aren't met. One is an upgrade the other is a downgrade. I get that it was Grace Randolph who was blabbing about billion dollar boxoffice but trades are more likely to quote her predictions than some redditor's. So what industry hears is that the movie is going to make little over half a billion at best instead of a billion. That isn't a compliment.

How do they view TLM being the top selling toy in North America?

The same way they view a bag of Doritos.

I mean... 3 movies is enough

I still have PTSD from the marketing campaign for the third movie all these years later. “Circus afro” jingle and kids losing their shit like it was the funniest thing of all time got old the 2nd time, let alone the 100th. They beat the hell out of that marketing campaign for like 6 months straight, it was unbearable.

the circus afro is the funniest thing of all time.

I was in middle school when the third Madagascar came out and I remember some of my friends talking about going to see it. And I was like "pfff I'm gonna watch a real movie made for adults" and went to go see Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Who thought ROTB would increase from estimates? 😂

Happy for TF.

Deadline wasn't far off with their 68m. Particularly since everyone else was thinking 30s at that time.

Hoping for some nice weekday holds for spidey this week now that the PLF loss has been baked in (and it might reclaim some) and kids are off school. If it can make big dough before the bloodbath next weekend then the path to $400m will be clear.

Surprised to see Transformers increase with actual, good for them. 
 

The Boogeyman’s -42% second weekend drop is impressive.

Boogeyman deserved a better studio and a better release date.

Great tweet - obfuscating critical reviews by touting the audience reviews for a streaming original movie

The toy doll sales are a direct result of the movie.

Very good hold for Spider-Verse. I'm not sure why people are expecting 400m, 3.3x legs for a CBM almost never happens except for a few anomalies like Black Panther or Wonder Woman. The first week gross is 170m, which is the same as The Batman, which was also 170m. Because of this, I think a finish around 370m is likely.

Summer weekdays and 2 holidays in 3 weeks always help for legs...

 

Not saying it's getting to $400M...but saying it's still early in the process...

Audience composition very similar to a Jurassic film, no reason not to expect a similar Sunday hold
