I think it could go more like Last Jedi and be less frontloaded than its predecessor the first few days.

I could see that. Reviews/WOM probably won't help its case, but then again, they were ignored last time.

It feels like this film was poorly handled, starting with the script. If they had come up with a more ingenious direction to take the plot in, and had put this in late July or early August, it could have done much more. The last one adjusts to freaking $650m. The sequel should have been a bigger event.

It will increase, just as JW did.

Your $151m prediction is one of the bolder ones. Definitely was a case not to completely lose faith in this franchise.

We'll see. I think it still has a good sized audience. But the past two weekends might spell trouble for Ant-Man. Maybe the week break will be enough for it. But either it or HT3 are going to take a pretty good hit.

$724m.

Eh, the problem is that there are only so many ways you can go with this franchise after the first film. I feel like every sequel has struggled with the logic anyway, but audiences haven't cared much so long as there was some dino action. The fact that they've squeezed three sequels out of a story where everyone in the world should have gone "let's never do anything with dinosaurs again" after the first one is pretty incredible.

There was many ways to go, but Hollywood just lacks creativity and will ALWAYS try to replicate previous successes rather than create new successes. Look at Terminator. They basically remade the first film for 2 and 3, but that's what people wanted because those were successful. When they changed it up, 4 and 5 flopped.

That low 80s for TI2 will turn to low 90m by Sunday

$58.7 mil for JW:FK

Disney at it again:

Black Panther $800,000 452% 115 -31 $6,957 $700,471,468 19 Disney

almost $7,000 per theater average in its 19th week.... right.

Didn't think JW would hit Incredibles 2 quite so hard. $85m is the best I can see it doing with a solid Saturday recovery, though a decent but unspectacular $80m sophomore frame is more likely.

To be fair, Incredibles without JW was facing a lot of pent up demand and was going to drop alot more than Finding Dory to begin with.

True. AIW and Solo both had weaker increases, so they apparently shared more overlap with JW than I thought.

Two weekends ago: A Wrinkle In Time $29,640 -24.3% 157 / $189 $98,069,947 / 92

Last weekend: A Wrinkle In Time $754,127 +2444.3% 245 / $3,078 $98,982,254 / 99

This weekend: A Wrinkle In Time $28,000 -96.3% 90 / $311 $100,327,926 / 106

I feel so honored to see a movie feat where a single movie can go up +2444.3% and then drop -96.3% the following weekend. This truly is a once in a lifetime box office moment.

With Incredibles being so big, Disney was in a position to push two movies to milestones through double features. Unfortunately for Solo, no double feature is going to help it to a meaningful milestone.

Rogue One might be safe after all at $532m, #10

Seriously how do they do this? Same with AWIT.

Hollywood accounting is magical

Not sure about that. True, I"'s weekday holds were weaker than Dory's even before the arrival of JW2, but they were still solid. Dory attracted a higher amount of female, while I2 appeals a little more to males, meaning weekdays for the former were bound to be stronger. Taking JW2 out of the equation, we would have reasonably got something around this:
18.5/19 Thu
27/28 Fri
90/92 weekend - or around a 50% drop.

It's paired with a big blockbuster at some drive-ins. It's really not a surprise.


I'm interested to see the increase for Rampage this weekend since it's with Jurassic World at many drive-ins.

Yeah I've never seen a studio be so blatant. At least Warner Bros made it a bit more subtle when they pushed Superman Returns to $200m.

Double features man. Genius move
