Why is Barbieheimer second weekend look more detrimental to holdovers as compared to the OW?

 

And how can Barbie hold better than Oppy over mid-week but still have better Fri bump?

 

Oppenheimer's PLF and IMAX numbers might be skewing it's increases and decreases a bit.

Runtime for Oppy hurts. People still working on Friday, so afternoon shows probably very similar to regular weekdays. Not enough evening shows to help make up for it. Sounds like the Saturday number for Oppy will be a lot better.

Because a lot of these films were protected from losing screens/theaters last week and they're not this week so they're feeling the pain

 

as for the second, alas, girl power I guess

(but realistically yes it's the runtime, oppy will jump better on sat most likely)

Well Elemental's legs seem to be dead now. All due to Disney wanting to switch the Elemental money stream to PVOD in mid August.

 

I hope the South Korean and Japanese legs are ok.

It's going to look even more foolish if the Sony moves yesterday were the beginning of a chain reaction where every studio starts to push major fall titles to next year (there's a solution to all of this that could be resolved today but you do you, AMPTP).

 

The Flash: one of the biggest bombs of 2023 but also one of its bigger cinematic trendsetters (since every movie in the foreseeable future will have to be promoted without the actors)? That movie didn't die for nothing after all!

The AMPTP could end this Monday and but nope not happening. Just insane

That Theater Camp number is pretty unremarkable - a PTA of just $813 and change. An expansion does not seem to be in the script for it.

	(1)	Barbie	Warner Bros.	$29,000,000	+37%	-59%	4,337	$6,687	$287,402,851	8
	(2)	Oppenheimer	Universal	$13,400,000	+34%	-59%	3,647	$3,674	$141,270,430	8

 

Honestly, it's astounding to me that Barbie ended up having a better increase than Oppenheimer, despite people saying that Oppy was bound to be more weekend-heavy. I guess it's pretty clear which movie is about to have the better legs...

Mission could be out of the Top 5 this weekend depending on how frontloaded Talk to Me is and how much it bumps up today and tomorrow. Crazy how much Paramount shit the bed here.

Because it wasn’t given the usual space, lack of major releases, on either side of release for this size of opening. So last week studios protected their films, requiring full day schedules, and usually in second weekend we see a rebound effect, but this time around with HM & TTM opening, a lot of shows has to be cut back
The holdovers are going to be anywhere from -20% to +20% on a per show basis … just didn’t retain the show volume to post better holds overall

MI passes Creed 3 and Transformers dom?

Friday is still a workday, which is problematic for a movie with a 3 hour runtime. From what Charlie is saying, it sounds like Oppy is going to have a very strong Saturday. Barbie might not jump as much on Saturday from what he is reporting.

Oppy IS weekend heavy. Its up nearly 40% today while Barbie will be up low to mid teens.

So $95M second weekend is done?

Let’s wait for Saturday numbers - Charlie’s very early estimates has Barbie at -33% from opening Sat, Oppy -28/29%
