TROS - $26m

RIP
HORRID
AWFUL
DISASTER

So this would be an over 55% drop right?

Hmm that would actually be pretty bad and also kind of negate all the good weekdays it had. I need at least $90M to believe it can beat Rogue One.

Similar weekend to Smaug (which dropped 4% from the 26th) would put the weekend at 75.5m weekend, 365m cume by end of weekend.

500m will still happen but over Rogue One may not.

Yeah that would not be a great number for TROS at all, especially considering it was supposed to have a pretty good hold this weekend. If it sticks it will end up being a lot closer to $70-$75M than $80-$90M.

Hopefully it doesn't go below this number like it has on most days

#ThisIsTheWay



It will

Looks like it didn't improve (but also didn't go down) based on latest update at BOM

The Rise of Skywalker - 26
Jumanji 3 - 11.25
Frozen 2 - 6
Little Women - 5.5

Wow at Knives Out. Should leg it’s way to around 140m.

Also pretty good for Jumanji and Frozen 2. Pretty unspectacular Christmas weekend otherwise.

Little Women is looking at a high 20s 5-day. Very good #.

KO may have a chance at $150m. However, even if it finishes at 140m, it is 30m more than what we expected last week. The fact it had the best drop last weekend against Star Wars was a fantastic sign of its fantastic box office run.

Good numbers for Jumanji, Frozen 2 and Little Women and that is a pretty great hold for KO, but man is this an underwhelming Christmas weekend and I doubt next year will be any better.

Next year looks rough. None of the December 2020 films look like 200m+ grossers unless Dune is appealing.

Croods could if it actually comes out. Heartwarming family comedies about families doing family things always do well this time of year.

Knives Out making more than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is very possible at this point, and would be one of the biggest box office upsets of the year, IMO. Helluva run that movie has had.

Dune
West Side Story
Uncharted
The Croods 2
Tom and Jerry
The Last Duel (Matt Damon & Ben Affleck pairing)
The Tomorrow War (Chris Pratt sci-fi action)
News of the World (Tom Hanks Western)

Maybe no mega grossers but I see a lot of appealing films there. It almost seems like an old school schedule from early 00s or 90s with original content and first-time adaptations.

It’s so nice to see a good film like Knives Out get the BO it deserves. It’s had a second life at Christmas like so few Thanksgiving recesses (outside family or Christmas films) get these days. Amazing stuff!

Yes I think that’s an interesting line-up and personally prefer that lineup than a SW/Jumanji combo.

It would be great if Dune could be a mini (200m+) FOTR but I don’t think it will be that accessible. Excited for it though.

TROS is going full Matrix Revolutions with the only difference being that fan loyalty prevented a collapse OW. Given the normal holds this weekend it’s probably more frontloaded than the twilight movies.

Agreed. With how shitty everything else is doing it only makes sense that iti would remain as one of the popular choices over the holidays. I only wish that Ford v. Ferrari was getting a similar boost too considering how great that movie is as well.



I am crazy excited for Dune, but have no idea about its BO prospects. If it breaks out that would be awesome, but I got a gut feeling that it will end up going down the same path as Blade Runner 2049 which would be a shame, because that movie didn't deserve to flop either. I'm all for original content though, and while I'm glad that next year won't be so easy to predict those studios have a lot going against them when it comes to marketing those movies.

Wow early Saturday numbers from BOT are 22.5 for TROS, 10.5 for JUM and 4.75 for either Frozen or LW. That would be an awful fucking number for TROS and would ensure a sub $70M second weekend.

That would be awful for all three. In 2013 with similar timeliness almost all movies saw a small increase but it looks like all three movies dropped this time.

Hopefully they're wrong. Don't know why they'd drop so much.

Wish TROS had opened a week earlier. More Holiday runway.

Wtf. So we’re looking at a $62-65M weekend? So long Rogue One. Rogue One was awesome though so it deserves its place as the third highest grossing Star Wars movie.
