I think Magic Mike is overestimated by at least 1M. A 26% drop on Sunday for this kind of film would be fantastic. I'm thinking 35%.

Madea also might be estimated a bit too high, though comparisons are tough because this is the first summer movie of the series.

Brave is lucky it has 4th of July padding this next week, I doubt it would have made it to 200 million without it.

great weekend overall.

Sunday drop wont be as high as normal since many people are taking this entire week off for vacations with the 4h in the middle of the week, or Mon-Wed or Wed- Fri off

Yes, lucky. I'm sure Disney/Pixar had no idea they were going to have July 4th to make more money.

It's a "his movies always have overt religious themes" reference.

I don't see any problem with Brave's drop. Wall-E had July 4th on its second weekend and still dropped 48.5% and still ended up with 3.55 multiplier.

This is the Sunday drops in 2007 (the last time we had July 4th on Wednesday): http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/char ... -01&p=.htm. So the estimates look reasonable to me.

It's $4m ahead of Wall-E and Wall-E already had its 7/4 boost, and Brave has not. It had to deal with approx. $120m from openers its 2nd weekend while Wall-E only had $62.6m from Hancock. It will likely be $9-10m ahead of Wall-E heading into next weekend and will likely fall less than 40%. Pixar movies that make $33-34m are never able to double their second weekend total. I mean a movie like Cars 2 which "only" dropped 60.4% its second weekend for $26.2m was only able to make another $69m after its second weekend and July 4th. So, yes only the 4th of July is keeping this film from sub $200m.

Oh, and Magic Mike better get to 100 Million. I'm hoping for strong weekdays like SATC had.

Sadly, I'm not sure it will. Isn't a total around 85-90 million more realistic at this point?


Films appealing to older females tend to have strong midweek performances. Sex and the City, with 34.4% initial Fri-to-Sat decline and two straight weekends of steep declines (63% and 54%), still managed a 2.67 IM. With us deeper into the summer and holiday week coming up, I don't really see Magic Mike doing worse than that. Still looking at $110-115m total IMO.

And yet it still will only get a 2.65 multiplier overall.

Brave is locked to beat Cars 2 in admissions, and A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Ratatouille and maybe Wall-E in total gross, so it has performed better than average, however

Pixar box office glory days will be back next year

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

Also the only of the Top 50 biggest weekeds on which the Top 2 were R-rated movies. Original R-rated movies no less...


I am in the midst of my weekend write-up and it shapes up to be epic-sized as well. At over 1,100 words and I am just finished with Ted...
