Yeah regional differences in spring break can throw off regional comps during these months

With numbers this small (ie no fan sales, almost all GA), local factors like Spring Break are going weigh heavily on market performance Also believe that Arthur was a Mystery Movie, so that reported figure probably has those numbers rolled in too

Would just put an asterisk next too it and not fret too much about a “miss”; the process is still sound, even if sometimes the result is off

How much do y’all think Easter weekend will help GxK’s walkups? It’s selling really well in my area, and if it gets a walk ups boost to help opening weekend I’d feel very confident in 60+.

it seems from Tuesday it will have a T Mobile promotion, so it’s interesting to see it keeps growing against the comps even before T mobile discounts.

‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ to make ~45M OW!

According to Deadline industry currently projects ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ to make ~45M on Easter Weekend Box Office.

It’ll will be the second worst Monster-Verse opening weekend, just ahead of 2021 GxK, which got 35M OW during the pandemic.

Depending on the reception, it might have a chance to get something closer to 50M.

Quote

After pouring over $200M currently into the domestic box office with Dune: Part Two, Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. have more cash to shower on exhibition with the Easter weekend March 29 theatrical release of Godzilla x. Kong: The New Empire. Currently projections are at $45M+ (don’t be shocked if it hits $50M) for the second Adam Wingard directed title in the Legendary Monsterverse.

At that level in opening weekend that will feasibly propel the Godzilla and Kong franchise past the $2 billion mark at the global box office.

At the low-end, the movie will rank as the fourth best domestic debut out of 5, the best being 2014’s Godzilla ($93.1M) and the lowest being 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong (also helmed by Wingard) which posted a 3-day of $31.6M portion in a 5-day run of $48.1M. Even though that movie went day-and-date on HBO Max due to Covid, the movie was pivotal in bringing audiences back to major market theaters after they reopened a couple of weeks prior in March 2021. Godzilla vs. Kong at $470.1M worldwide is the highest grossing day-and-date streaming theatrical title ever.

Similar to Godzilla vs. Kong, New Empire is taking advantage of the robust Easter moviegoing weekend, last year seeing the second best opening ever for the holiday with Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie ($166.4M). Warner Bros/DC’s 2016 title Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice continues to hold the record opening for Easter weekend with $181M.

Tbh presales don’t suggest 45M at all so far, probably just a classic deadline lowball

55M seems like a safe bet, even 60M seems reasonable

Serious question did this movie run over your dog or something? What is with the hate?

Did Deadline ever publish a few weeks out forecast for Ghostbusters?

Really good pace for Day 2. It may not have much of a stead state PS run considering such a short cycle. I wonder what would be the floor.
