Yeah, Dumbo may be what, #5?

It'll likely be Captain Marvel, Us, Shazam, HTTYD and Dumbo? Unless Shazam disappoints.


Shazam might even beat Us. Depends on the opening. WOM should be good, but Avengers.

Shazam is opening on par with Dumbo and will have worse legs.

It will be

CM
Us
Dragon
Dumbo
Shazam

Why would it have worse legs? The last two DC solo films have had 4.0+ multipliers. Dumbo will be lucky to hit a 3 multiplier.

Endgame will hurt it and Dumbo will have good legs.

Yeah, Shazam is gonna have stellar WoM. It should get a 3 multiplier, which I doubt Dumbo will get.

Shazam will (probably) open somewhere between $45-65 mil, have good 2nd weekend drop (dumbo won't) and a good 3rd weekend drop. By Endgame weekend, it will be making either $15 mil or less each weekend. WHY will Dumbo have good legs? It's 59% audience score on RT? Burton films RARELY have 3.0+ multipliers. If ever.

Well it’s a family film and it didn’t have much upfront demand.

That's because it doesn't have demand. Period.

Brutal drop for Dumbo. I guess both big openers took a piece of it.

Yeah, $1 for everything would get you somewhere near the top if the rules were like The Price Is Right..


In the end this strategy would have won the most movies! Would have gotten 14 correct to beat exxdee13 by 1.

It would not have won any points by predicting exactly $1 - you still have to be in the closest 25% of predictions.

But yep, just predicting lower than everyone else probably would have paid out.

Oooh new charts!

Thanks MGKC!

Btw for Dumbo, you have Magic Mike above the actual ($110m vs $119m) :P

Congrats Mike, and looks like you've been doing well for the last few games. 2 wins in the last 4.

Lastly, the majority of the movies had the bottom-most predictions scoring the points. What a poor start to the year.
