@charlie Jatinder I’m assuming that 3 is for Arthur and is for true Friday

Dropping near 40% in a relatively quiet week isn’t ideal for a movie trying to get to 100m. I hate all these near-miss 100m moment.

It's this year's M3GAN.

Dune 2 getting the legs it deserves. Love to see it!

Except M3GAN never got close. This will be within a few million.

I found DUNE 2 to be an utter chore to sit through, but it is indeed pure CINEMA and the theater owners deserve every penny!

What is the general reasonable consensus on Dune Part 2’s projected WW total when its run is finished? Still a shot at $700M WW? Or has the performance in Asia plus lack of Russia killed that dream?

Not gonna lie, I was one of the only true believers (as a genuinely huge fan of the franchise) for the third film to breakout in a dead January 2016 (eight years ago), where there were nothing else in the scale of how much box office-wise the previous KFP-films before then, have performed. I even made clubs about it. And overperform on a grand scale, no less. 😬🥶👩🏻‍💼

 

And while the reception for KFP3 was high (with 87% critic rating on RT), the box office for that film didn’t really justify the critical praise it recieved. So good of a movie and yet Panda 3 underperformed in relative to the insane, yet hopefully box office predictions I had for it at the time.

 

Thankfully Panda 4 finally did/is doing things what the other two sequels couldn’t do:

A. Open over $50M+
B. Be on it’s way to $200M+ DOM due to no animated competition until late May.

C. Be the hit DWA needed after the total flop of Ruby Gillman. Trolls 3 did a bit better in theaters though nothing overly spectacular.

 

I was not at all surprised about Kung Fu Panda 3, but Kung Fu Panda 2 really shocked me. It had a prime release date, fantastic reviews, yet opened and grossed well below the first. 
 

It’s such a great movie.

KFP2 was a favourite to win that summer IIRC. Opening the same day as Hangover 2 just smashing the old R-rated OW record hurt it for sure.

Tbh kung fu panda 2 is kinda like dark for kids movie, I can see why kids or even parents may have not liked it 

 

apparently it has 77% user rating on rotten tomatoes 

 

it’s amazing movie to me but sad as fuck lol

Migration continues to crawl on. Lost over 40% of its theaters but still only dropped 14%. Definitely thinking there's more to this movie's performance now than simple lack of competition.

Well China legs have been slightly improving so the prospects of $700M are getting better a bit.

Dunno if this has been discussed yet, but Dune 2's 2nd week drop was better than Oppenheimer's (-41.3% vs. -43.7%). 

 

If weekly drops are exact same as Oppy from here, Dune 2 would be heading for $290m+ per my math. 

 

If they continue to be better (e.g., -33% drop this week vs. -36% for Oppy), $300m+ would still be in play. 

 

Not predicting, just observing

It's nice we now have three weekends in a row where the #1 movie gets above 30M. The next two weekends are also near-locked to happen unless Ghostbusters sales drop like a rock or something. We'll see how long April continues the streak, because we could see GxK getting a 30M+ second weekend and/or Monkey Man reaching 30M+
