Weekday Numbers [Jun 17-20, 2024] | Thursday | 19.63M INSIDE OUT II | 2.85M BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE

[charlie Jatinder]

Why is everyone acting surprised with numbers? That’s how Pixar biggie in June behave.

 

Yes weekend was a surprise as highest I thought it was going was 135 but it ended up 155 but since then pretty much standard Pixar trend. If THU comes $20M+, that’s the time to act surprised.

Look out for Possum Trot when it comes out, the EA screenings here are selling big and it seems like a movie that might win Angel Studios over with progressive-leaning audiences

Looked it up, hoping it was a movie about a cartoon possum. I am not surprised, but still quite disappointed.

that's just dumb. You'd know the second weekend would be bigger than that just from knowing Friday's number.

Finally I have seen the movie. Comfortably Pixar’s best non Toy Story sequel. Hugely enjoyable

We always have huuuuuge June dailies for Pixar movies like this and then some Illumination film drops in July to destroy its late legs.

I mean, this is a huge number/jump. It almost matched Toy Story 4's weirdly massive Tuesday jump (which then dropped like a rock after)

Yeah clearly , Juneteenth and summer time make up the pace of weekdays for IO2 but it seems Dory is good comp for IO2 which is good because he had good legs ( X3,6)

 

For me Thursday around 18-19M , 20M would be insane and 80M 2nd Weekend lock

I'm a little concerned about DM4 because i think he will be less than Minions 2 and also the fact than IO2 overperform can distract some people to see this . Be between IO2 and D&W is a good and bad thing i think .

Illumination doesn't hurt them that much, it's just there usually comes a point around August where they're not making enough money still to compel movie theaters to keep them

Today is Juneteenth (recently adopted national holiday) so yesterday essentially played like a Friday with discounted tickets

I see, thanks. Hadn't heard of that holiday before. Do you guys have any other bank holidays ("federal holidays"?) mid week? Like Labour Day and Memorial Day are always Mondays

Nope in general it's Mondays or fixed days like 4th July , Juneteenth or Veteran Day .

[AniNate]

4th of July is on a Thursday this year so that will be another one-off holiday for many, some may get the Friday off too but not everyone
