Weekday Thread June 24-27. Inside Out 2 $11.2m, Bad Boys $1.6m Thursday

13m is almost at Monday levels. Nice. Definitely guarantees low 60s 3rd weekend.

So, I went to a kids summer movie at Cinemark yesterday.

 

You never saw such a drop from summer to summer ever, and from Jan to June (my last in person movie).  The place was dead - I now see why it has booked Inside Out on 4 screens still for this weekend.  No one is going to anything else, so it's gonna try to milk the one movie folks want to see.

 

Heck, even the $1.75 movie (Shrek) wasn't close to being a sell out.  And they had moved the ticket taker to the front door vs having 2 for the 2 sides of the theater b/c it was so dead.  And apparently, I walked right by him and no one stopped me til I asked the popcorn employee who was supposed to check tickets, so I guess it's good I'm honest and apparently, it's been so dead this summer, no one cares about much at the theater...

 

Anecdotal state of one theater - I have summer movie tickets for next Wed, DM4's open, so hopefully, there's some more life that day...

 

PS - The boys loved Shrek...and it still holds up as an amazing parody of the Disney princess movie concept, especially the ending (I'd forgotten how abrupt it was, but it was a send up of how Disney's prince never got to "win easy" against the villain)...

And with that, BB4 has officially surpassed BBFL's at this point in its run.

With summer weekdays, Bad Boys 4 should beat BB3. Not what many people were expecting even after release.

But there was one weekend where BB3 drop just 4% at $11m, that is very high bar to clear for BB4 in its 5th weekend. BB4 only has summer mid-week to help.

Can you clarify -- is Kalki's opening day today (June 27), and the 3.86 M are all for Wednesday preview earnings? Thanks!

 

The Wed & Thurs earnings will not count toward Opening Weekend domestic earnings, correct? 

 

I had originally read that Kalki's opening date was June 26, but I see that BOM has its Opening Day as June 27. (On the Flixster ticket app, I see its Opening Date is still listed as June 26.) Around me, Kalki is doing a full day of showings are in my area theaters today, starting at 11 am.

Hmm maybe Barbie kept that "record" after all (unless actuals go up a bit).

Some people still think it won't cross $200M

That was Valentine's day weekend for BBFL and that same weekend falls on 4th weekend for BB4. So hopefully it has a decent hold.

BBFL ended at $204M (per the-numbers, BOM has it at $206M for some reason) and it could have a grossed a million or two more if theaters hadn't closed because of COVID, so hopefully BB4 will be able to pass $200M as well.

Yeah it opens fully on Thursday not on Wednesday 

 

I think it's called Wednesday Premieres not Wednesday Previews

A bit lower than estimates but not too shabby for this. Maybe actuals will be higher like they were yesterday.

Last week , IO2 made around 290M last weekend ( Thu/Sun) . It should make 165M so around -43% drop to enter the billion club . I think it's more than playable
