Yeah and that's the drop from Friday to Friday not the wknd drop-- and last Friday was a holiday in the states so that kind of drop was to be expected. We'll have a better idea what the wknd drop will be late today/early 2mrw.
Box office mojo thinks it will have better legs than MoM and that's my prediction as well and like I predicted in week one they think it'll be ahead by week 3. The reason I initially chose wk 3 in stead of this wk is MoM released in the summer so u had all the kids off which would account for stronger week days as well as that first Thursday preview and Friday opening day. But with Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I felt that would even things out a bit more. So I'm still sticking with my initial prediction that by the Monday after thanksgiving it'll be ahead of MoM with its gross for that same time period...but we'll see...Box Office Mojo is also predicting it'll hold better but they're basing that more so on the better CinemaScore it go over MoM-- gain after the 3rd wk that should tell the story one way or the other!
I think the fact that this movie is driven in large part by its African-American audience and Latinos that it's not surprising it will perform better in the states the mark for success was never going to be matching the US totals.
I believe so. Problem is the smaller countries take longer reporting their numbers so there's usually a lag time of a few days up to a cpl wks. Those number do get sorted eventually just not right out of the gate like the bigger countries.
I mostly agree with this-- only thing I would change is 400 million is way more likely than unlikely at this point. But all the rest I totally agree!
That Amsterdam film with Christian Bale (released in early October) had a budget of 50 million but ballooned to 80 million due to the pandemic. I gotta figure BP2 was greenlit with a 200-220 million dollar budget but covid plus Wright's injury had that figure climb.
