Black men aren't going to be watching A Wrinkle in Time.

I feel a drop over 50% is correct.

I'm beginning to come around to the BP for #1 of the Year projection.

You are right. They could nap 4 of the top 5 spots (BP, Incredibles, Solo and IW). Amazing.

Another thought, how long will it stay in the top 10? I'm thinking until Deadpool 2 arrives

Tracking from Variety:

Black Panther” could take in as much as $100 million during the upcoming Feb. 23-25 weekend and it’s likely to lead during the March 2-4 frame, when Jennifer Lawrence’s “Red Sparrow” is pegged to open in the $18 million-$25 million range for Fox, while MGM’s “Death Wish” should come in with $15 million-$20 million.

Initial tracking released this week for “A Wrinkle in Time” shows a range of $34 million-$37 million — hardly a blockbuster number at the moment, though those figures can shift significantly by the time the film opens. But that may be enough to beat “Black Panther,” which will eventually have to start slowing down its record-breaking pace.


Would expect WIT to go over $40m and maybe $50m.

Hopefully Sparrow can go above $25m and DW over $20m.

Beginning to seriously wonder if Wrinkle in Time will pull a Tomorrowland/John Carter and open under $35 million, a mark that Black Panther's fourth weekend could easily top....

I'm thinking Black Panther passes The Avengers ($623,357,910) during the fourth or fifth weekend and Jurassic World Titanic between the 5th and 6th weekend.

Week 3- $120m ($523m)
Week 4- 85M ($608m)
Week 5- 68m ($676m )
Week 6- 46m ($722m)

Post Re: How long will the King Reign?
Wrinkle is getting mixed reviews and could underperform against expectations. But even if it opens to no.1, Magnus is right - the rest of March is so pathetic that BP is likely to regain no.1

If it loses to AWIT on the weekend but wins the entire week, you can't just ignore the weekend and say it was #1 for x number of straight weeks. That's like saying if it has the highest 2018 domestic gross it pulled off 12 months at #1. It's just silly, and bending stuff to please yourself. If all that you say happens, it wasn't #1 for 5 straight weeks. Neither was Avatar. It was #1 for exactly 4 weeks.

I get it, and I follow that as well. But if AWIT beats it for even one day, that lessens any claim of "#1 for x weeks" for me.

Going to be close this week, But I think T'challa will defend his throne at least 1 more weekend to the tune of 40m while AWiT will struggle to get to 35m

Can't see either of these opening over 20m right now

March 16- Tomb Raider and Isle of Dogs
March 23- Pacific Rim- Uprising

I hope AWIT tops 40m if not 50m. I want it to be a hit.

Post Re: How long will the King Reign?
Unfortunately, I'm feeling pretty confident that Wrinkle in Time is gonna land in that "failed franchise launch for Disney" range of $29-34 million where Prince of Persia, John Carter, The Lone Ranger, and Tomorrowland all ended up in. So I think Black Panther will win another weekend. I'm actually less confident about a fifth weekend win though. I think Tomb Raider could still do well, and I'm really wondering about a Love, Simon breakout - reviews about good, and I feel like there's gonna be a lot of hype about it being a gay romance for teens.

Isn't that a really niche audience?

Yep I see BP winning this weekend again, but even if WIT does beat it I believe it won't be by much either way.

Variety Tracking is at 30-38m for WiT and 42-48 for BP :blink: At this pace it's going to make it to at least 5 weeks with Pacific Rim maybe knocking it off.

Yeah I don't think $48m is happening regardless of the tracking. AWIT is going to attract a big crowd out of BP; black families, women. BP is holding well but a sub-30% drop seems difficult, I think people are spoiled too much with Jumanji and TGS's run.

Could we be looking at a 5-peat if Tomb Raider gets bad critic reviews and grosses less than $22-24m ?

Tomb Raider is going to tank, so Black Panther will win again.

Five weeks is rarefied company.

Still reeling from Cameron’s 1-2 punch. He releases a film that repeats 15 weekends at numero uno. His next film stays at the top for 7 weekends (in a changed marketplace where it was harder to stay on top)!
