Other movies to drop the standard 25 -30%

Storks and TWL will hold a little better as toons usually do.

The holiday will be down 15%~ vs last year.

Ben Hur has just 300k in PS for Monday OD. 

The BFG has just 15k in PS for next Friday.  Last year AM opened to 80m on Friday the 16th. 

With little competition, holdovers should perform well next week. OM with a good shot at 1B. First since WC.

Can anyone answer me a curiosity? A friend asked me but I don't know the aswer and I am curious. Suicide Squad and Ghostbusters were 'banned' in China because they have supernatural / magic thematic, right ?! but why that does not happen with Harry Potter?

In fact, there is no fixed rule.It all depends on SARFT’s mood.The dinosaurs eating shots in Jurassic Park 3D were cut because SARFT thought that would frighten audience, but the same shots were kept in Jurassic World.

I think that would be fucking impossible.

[Olive]

Dunkirk will have a shitty release date like all late-July/early-August Hollywood movies, but I think 600M isn't too difficult.
