Maybe the holdovers will have strong saturdays  if barbenheimer is a little frontloaded. Yeah just hoping Mission has a 10+ saturday..

Indeed. I'll start.

 

Barbie? More like Bombie, amirite?

I know you are joking, but we could wait for the drop in the second weekend.

It’s around $82M, but also need to adjust for PLF boost that did not exist in the 2010 ticket price. So maybe around $90M weekend in 2023 dollars with the full PLF boost included. 

idk if it’s quite that high. NATO has the national average at $10.53 for 2022, and I get premium formats cost more but surely some of that is taken into consideration for the average?? I’d say maybe $85 million or so, and while Inception didn’t have nearly as many premium screens, it did have a record IMAX count at the time which definitely already boosted it

They made a Green Lantern movie?

Apparently from the same studio that made a Flash movie.

A long time ago I’m made a Green Lantern over $250 million domestic club.  

It's okay, you just preemptively saw Ryan Reynolds leading a different comic book franchise to glory!

Barbie might go under 40 on Sunday. I don't think Saturday being essentially flat from Friday is from squeezed showtimes.

Yeah mid 30s mostly

[Unfitclock]

@across the Jat verse how big do you think the second weekend drop is going to be

Regal RPX, Cinemark XD, Dolby Cinema, and so many other PLF formats were pretty much non-existent in July 2010. I don’t think the current average ticket price comes anywhere close to properly accounting for the PLF boost.
 

Deadline reported Oppenheimer’s Friday gross had 50% of the money coming from PLF. IMAX accounted for only 12% of Inception’s opening weekend and it pretty much had zero boost from “other” PLF since those screens mostly didn’t exist at the time.

I think you're being way too ambitious here. Mission Impossible did 5.5 on Friday y, it would need something like an 85% jump on Saturday and that's simply not going to happen.

Yeah I know. Just  trying  to will it into happpening okay. Damm you Paramount!!!

[MovieMan89]

Barbie being frontloaded after all is absolutely not what I was here for. What about the CS, don’t these people know? What about how I had actually come around to being good with it crushing Mario? Am I just supposed to be OK with it not now?? What is any of this 

[MovieMan89]

In all seriousness, I become increasingly annoyed at TGM the more massive box office hits we get since then that still can’t touch it. I truly truly do not get it.

Look I am simply asking people how big they believe the 8th weekend will be. Asking a week from now is no good because it will have become too obvious and boring.

Surprisingly eh saturday bump (or rather lack thereof) but I guess keyser did warn about it, I hope sunday hold is better
