$10m weekend is on!

 

Closer to 9.5m  Still excellent and over my Derby's $9.2m

[Borobudur]

This weekend basically seal TLM's deal to $300m, should reach 289m by Sunday and have another "quiet" weekend for female products before Barbie.

Happy to see that Elemental is proving that Disney/Pixar movies actually can still draw people to the theater even if it still has a quite a bit to go until it reaches profitability (though it's hardly without company in that department this summer).

With a 9.5-10m weekend, Elemental’s dom trajectory shifts up to 160+ by the end of Labor Day weekend (giving it weekly drops of 27% from here on out)

But the investors only care about the first ten days, forget the fact it having strong legs which could carry it to profitability and helps both animation brands theatrically, and in a time which theatrical original animation is struggling (Paramount has two original features in the can that may not see the light of day). It can only be a complete and utter failure with no room for nuance.

Ouch for Indiana Jones. Shows you just can’t get away with a “well I guess it’s not awful” type movie that costs a crazy amount these days

If gurus numbers hold, it'll drop 50%. Not really a 2nd weekend ouch at all

Seriously though hoping Wish and Migration keep the streak going. Don’t care if either is ass, I just want something original even if it’s from a brand to do well especially for animation as those were one of the few ways an original concept could do blockbuster numbers nowadays.

Also I think Flash isn’t passing Scream 6. That’s amazing
