I'm pretty sure TCP will take a bad hit even if these movies didn't appeared. The legs for TCP has been terrible, so I'm not surprised many theaters want to just replace that movie.

Borobudur Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The weekdays hold for Wonka, Aquaman and Migration are far weaker than ATOW and PIB2 last year. ATOW and PIB2 managed to keep week-to-week drop around 50%-55% but this year the main holdovers are dropping in the range 70%+. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanMB Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Yeah, Avatar getting a 5+ multiplier off a $134M opening and Puss in Boots getting a 15 multiplier are the exceptions, not the norm. Anyone But You keeping pace with those two is pretty nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 yeah Wonka may still miss 200. The daily numbers are not great and if the weekend holds are not great like this weekend because of terrible weather and such it's really going to be hard. Def a hit but it still feels like it have done more. we may go damm near a year with no 200 mill movie DOM unless Dune 2 surprises or GVK 2 or the Fall Guy really pops which Universal does seem to think is possible it seems.

MightyDargon Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 As much as I hate to say it Anyone But You is the clear overperformer of all XMas releases this time. There's usually something that does abnormally well and this time it's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Cine Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 I think the Wed/Thur drop for Warner movies are normal because of the Mean Girls impact which taken all the Imax and PLF Screens of Wonka and Aquaman and for TCP, he lose 2/3 of theaters today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M37 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 So much unnecessary hand-wringing here... TCP's $1443 PTA last weekend was the 4th worst among the top 14 (all in at least 750 locations, and some still expanding) so it was a prime candidate for theater loss. Also a film that's going to have an atypical distribution, stronger in major market and weaker in the lower half, so those bottom ~1500 locations already weren't adding much (as evidenced by only a -15% Thursday when those screen losses really began). Location count is just catching up to the underlying reality Wonka made $17.6M for the full post-NY week, and even with a basic 2x that total from here it would get over $200M (albeit barely). December films don't really go below that 2x unless they get pushed out of theaters by low grosses and/or competition Also, would be careful in focusing too much on daily drops week/week - there's just so many variables baked into the nuance of the calendar (and even weather) that makes such direct comparisons a little fuzzy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But but Avatar has no cultural relevancy! Just shows that good hook worths more than cultural relevancy without one. They released stunning previews and movie was good too so WOM created an event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Why has Heron not been reported this week? You would think they would go for an expansion this weekend to capitalize on the Globes win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s absolutely dismal that it could be a year or so with no 200 DOM hit. Thats just not sustainable for tentpole filmmaking at all. Granted, I’m more and more confident in Fall Guy being a huge breakout if WOM is there (thank you Ryan Gosling), but that would still be close to a year between 200 grossers.

MovieMan89 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think Emma Stone is very much a draw in the right role, and I would like to see her finally get her Barbie tentpole (those lame Spideys ain’t it). She could propel the right one to huge numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she coming back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
