Nah, they won a Nobel Prize.

(beyonce released an album, mufasa died in the movie and people still were real emotional about it)

If the movie had 90% RT it probably could have beat the Force Awakens

Yep. The movie basically being a forgery of the original is what’s going to keep this club from succeeding.

You almost wonder if the directors of the original could have a case with the dga for credit on this.

The schedule is wide open and dailys will be better than any time of the year besides December. If Aladdin can get anywhere near a multiplier of 4, this can too.

I was wrong. Awesome rebound.

60% drop looks likely. Won’t get more than a 3x multiple at most and that’s if it gets good late legs like Spider Man Homecoming. I’m thinking around 550 total.

Yeah I don’t see any path to victory at this point. It was a bold prediction made the day the film was announced and I have no regrets about starting the club. I truly believe it would have happened if Disney had, you know, made a good movie.

Thanks to all who joined!

August will be much better. It might get 650m, but nowhere near 750m.

No way it even gets to $600m. It would need 31% drops (3.22 multiplier) from here on out.
This is frankly astonishing.


PS: saw the movie finally and enjoyed it alot more than I expected

Don't know what math you are trying to use. It needs drops like 38% to reach 600m. It can drop in the 30s after H&S. Aladdin's first drop was 53%, and it faced more competition later in it's run.

I think you're making two big errors with your math. You're not including the current weekend, and you're not including weekdays.

Post subject:  Re: The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club

The concept of an "average 38% drop" is a bit misleading. It's much different if it drops 28% first and 48% then or viceversa. A 38% drop on its third weekend is really unlikely, so it actually needs to average a weekly drop in the low 30's% after its third weekend, which translates to weekend drops no higher than 30% considering the weakening of summer weekdays starting from week 5.

Every drop above 45% next weekend makes the 600M mark absolutely impossible. Low 40s makes it unlikely.

We have to see if the holds improve like Aladdin, but with August competition I would bet on under 35% or better. People here didn't even think Aladdin would get 300m at first.

Aladdin is what is making me think people are under predicting.

Lion King has essentially the rest of the summer to itself to nab the kids at home from school market during the weekdays. It won't get to 750 million, but 600 million sounds just about right.

The Lion King expands to 4,802 theaters this weekend, breaking the record for highest theater count it set two weeks ago.

Disney is hinting that Aladdin will get a sequel so you almost wonder if they’ll try making a follow-up to this. I’m not opposed to it because at least they’d be forced to do something original.

Oddly enough - a sequel to TLK will probably get me to go and see it.

They'll make one.

Very keen for an Aladdin sequel. That has big potential.

I could see a sequel to this decreasing. Probably still do big overseas but probably sub 500m.

I guess the music wasn’t strong enough to get this to the heights I thought

Post subject:  Re: The Lion King (live-action) over 750m domestic club

The music was been there/done that.

I agree with public that an Aladdin sequel has greater upside.
