I don´t trust Deadline one bit as they are lowballing everything. I wanna hear this from Charlie or Empire before I believe this

Romulus being a success would just mean more Alien movies get fast-tracked. Even if it's a disappointment, it's a franchise Disney/Fox will never stop trying to make relevant again

 

Honestly, I'm fine with that as long as Disney/20th Century allow different filmmakers (namely horror) to take their own shot at making an Alien movie. 

 

Don't try to make any sequels to Romulus or anything like that, just let directors take the Alien IP and do something new or awesome with it on a responsible budget.

$21.5M?? Lmao that's a bit insane. MoM first Monday was $13M to give some perspective.

 

EDIT: $23M now WTF??

 

Inside out 2 did $22M

It'll be fun to track how long this movie paces ahead of Inside Out 2.

It’s incredible to see how many tickets DPW has sold for this upcoming Friday already. Really hoping for a good hold for this one.

MoM first Monday wasn't a summer weekday.

I don't think this will make more than TLJ domestically. But anyways 620 is an arbitrary number, 600 is the true "will this break the streak" point

Sticking with the 21.5 number for a minute here, if that were to be true it would be a 60% drop which is not that far off from MOM's 65% drop. Still this tiny 5% difference is a 9 million gap which goes to show how incredibly strong DP3's Sunday hold was for a big SH movie.

@Joyous Legion what's your thoughts on this Monday number and how it affects your DOM total forecast?

JW did $25.3M so this is very close.
JW fell $1M on Tuesday though, and I don't expect that from D&W.

We are at Peak summer. So Monday holds would be WAY stronger than say early May when MOM opened. That said being a R rated movie its potential is not as great as PG-13 movies. It still should have College kids who are still off. May be even high school kids in Junior/Senior year. That said its nothing compared to PG13 movie like Barbie last year which dropped 40.3% in its 1st Monday( just over 26m) after 8.6 drop on Sunday !!! That is the power of family with young kids that could see the movie on a Monday. Plus SH movies are inherently more frontloaded anyway. Especially D&W that has the biggest fanbase driving its OW.

Expect Inside Out 2 to surpass Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Avengers domestically next weekend.

 

P.S. Anyway, I will be watching Deadpool and Wolverine tonight.

not me being exposed like that. 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Lion King 2019 (loathe to mention that film with IO2 aroind) might be a decent comparison. Comparative legs gets Deadpool & Wolverine to just around $600M.

[charlie Jatinder]

Let's see how night goes, it could rise to $24M, though for now $23M should be it.

 

Would say OKAY hold. For to be comfy for $600M+, needed $25M+ MON. Still I will wait for WED to pass any judgement.
 

[narniadis]

I am just saying now that yall need to be prepared for disappointment at a "bad" Tuesday number. Everyone seems to forget how frontloaded massive films generally have big spillover the first Monday stunting the Tuesday number. 

That said, I LOVE big numbers so keep sending them 😀

Does it have the chance to dethrone Inside Out 2 domestically?
