Aquaman will be at 80+ by Jan 1st, not 70+

It is mostly surviving on spillovers. Pre-sales in morning were par Migration.

Aquaman and Dune swapped release dates

After now watching Saltburn, they definitely fucked yo this release. It should have been a slow burn expansion. Now that everyone is watching it on Prime, it’s all over Twitter. They went too wide too fast and didn’t give it room the breathe to get the discourse going.

Netflix must be pissed, they dropped a very expensive Zack Snyder scifi for Christmas and it was completely overshadowed by a mid budget semi erotic queer thriller 

 

We need this energy in theaters

Think wonka will be closer to 160 than 140

I still don't see it. How is it only at 70+ by Jan 1st? It should be at like 63 by eod Thursday and then have a 17+ 4-day second weekend

Yeah ngl I think Jat is being pretty pessimistic here. I think Aquaman should definitely hit $80M by Jan 1 and ~$100M finish

If presales were on par and it rose above, does that not mean walkups were good? I don't understand

Not...really? Like their big movie was still #1 in multiple markets and Top 10 in more. Streaming doesn't really operate on this kind of basis.

Pretty close to Puss' 12/26. Seems like it may be prime for a long run, just a question of how long theaters will be willing to keep it.

If it were to follow TLJ from now until New Years Day, would add another $33M (3.9x) and $79M in total 

 

For contrast, Jumanji had a 5.66x Boxing Day during the same time period

It means other films were closing on capacity with spillovers going to Aquaman which has excess capacity.

I mean, yeah, but TLJ also released a week earlier than Aquaman and had a much, much higher opening which will obviously lead to higher drop offs. I don't think it's a very good comparison at all.

Yes, but I don’t think it is few months ago. However the cause of death is not drug abuse.

TCP 7-7.25M TUE.

 

this is some really lazy math, but here it goes

that's roughly 60% of what A cinemascore oscar buzzed musical les miserables did on its 2nd day, if from now on it keeps on doing 60% of les miserables then it'll end in the 90s

sure there's no competition in January in February, and MLK day,  but 100 seems missable
