And important to remeber that a 50M final gross would already be enough to be in the Top 5 all time foreign language grossers in the US. Anything above 57,2M would be enough to reach Number 2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons 128M ofc is not a realistic target.

For now

 

Number 2 nominal would certainly be a result far surpassing expectations though as always I am a Debbie downer who can’t help wondering about admits.    
 

Legs will be equally good in $$ and tix though

My fantasy is a TGS run to take down the evil of G14 DOM. No I do not want thoughts or comments on how feasible this is. 

Dude, it's a kids movie lol.

Anyone have numbers for how The Abyss did?

Only the best results are worthy for the greatest superhero of all time.

Not only possible, but likely for this weekend.

I think it will be a close race between godzilla and hunger games for #2

I would be surprised if it dropped from opening true fss to be honest. Thinking 50+ finish though if it comes in under still great

If it were keeping all the PLFs, I might be inclined to agree, but that usually knocks 10% (or more) off of expected gross

I think that should about be a wash with the expansion so I’m basically taking the “normal” fss/wed

[CoolioD1]

these Japanese films doing well this is all setting the track for Kore-eda's Monster to open to $50mil when it expands into 4000 screens, right?

Eh, it’s a minor expansion, way down the curve, and the Parasite and EEAAO comps I put out in tracking thread managed only a marginal increase (<5%), so like +10% for TruFSS. Not to say $9M+ 2nd weekend can’t happen, but I would peg my expectations more at ~$8.5M (presuming we get the -15% Thur I have penciled in)

[TwoMisfits]

True FSS was $9.3Mish last weekend for Godzilla.  Getting close to that this weekend would be a really great result.

[MovieMan89]

Those sexy kaiju legs…. I am honestly leaning more towards an increase this weekend than a decrease rn 

[keysersoze123]

ATP last week for Zilla was not crazy high. I am thinking limited impact due to loss of PLFs. That said theater counts are not that big a deal. Looking at show counts it has slightly more than 85% of shows last week at MTC1. that is really strong. I am expecting tiny drop at worst or even a small increase with better weekend trend than last week.

Not you shaming me...

 

Listen, I thought it was deeply moving!

[nguyenkhoi282]

I feel No.1 will be a close race this weekend. 3 top movies will all hover around 10M mark.

Ro be fair some of the Godzilla films are not nearly so silly as that.
