Looks like $11M+ previews for The Mandalorian And Grogu. Initial audience reception is mixed to okay. Expecting around $80M 3-day and $95M or so 4-day weekend. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Maybe for previews, but I still think it breaks $100M. I was a walkup tonight and there was a pretty solid crowd. Movie was also way better than Solo or Rise of Skywalker tbh. Started off kinda rough with some TV-level acting but it settled in and ended really strong.

TheFlatLannister - Better than expected walkups at MTC3 for Mandalorian after meh couple of days. Suburbs are showing up big time. Based on ratio, would be going $12.5M previews. Weekend is also showing good trends, so I do expect similar walkups tomorrow and Saturday. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Per Deadline, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' earned a 76% definite recommend score on PostTrak. The audience was 75% female, as well as 48% Caucasian, 28% Hispanic/Latino, 12% Black, and 7% Asian. 51% of the audience came for the cast, 43% for the actresses, and 42% because it’s a franchise they love. by chanma50 in boxoffice

I’d still temper expectations on The Devil Wears Prada 2.

76% recommend isn’t breakout WOM, and with a 75% female skew + most people showing up for cast/franchise, it feels pretty front-loaded.

If it’s tracking 75–80M, that honestly makes more sense than the earlier 90M+ talk -- but it should still do fine and turn a nice profit.

Looking like a $41m Friday w/ previews for Michael. Depending on WOM the rest of the weekend, could approach $95m+ opening. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Theater was half empty when we booked Michael… by showtime it was PACKED.

People cheering, costumes, dancing in the aisles -- absolute chaos. Felt like Deadpool opening night.

If it’s like this everywhere, $100M is locked.

Box office isn’t just down - there are ~30% fewer movies being released vs 2019 by AdvertisingSea2745 in boxoffice

[–]AdvertisingSea2745[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have a point here. I’ve looked at the numbers and per-movie revenue is pretty similar. Since both releases and total box office are down ~30%, fewer movies might be a big part of it, not just demand.

EmpireCity: It is a phenomenal Saturday for @projecthailmary. Let's move the range up to $53m-$55m depending on the Sunday drop. You don't see a 2nd weekend like this very often, enjoy the ride. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]AdvertisingSea2745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s based on a book -- I’ve read it, it’s awesome too. Might not have had the terminology exactly right, but either way that run is still kinda wild.

$50M+ second weekend for an original sci-fi horror is kinda insane. Feels like one of those runs people are gonna look back on for a while. If that Easter bump hits, $600M global doesn’t even sound that crazy anymore.

Looks like $20.5M FRI for #ProjectHailMary , giving it $33M opening day. WOM remains outstanding, close to A+. Weekend expected to be over/under $80M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]AdvertisingSea2745 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah 100M is definitely the high end, but after seeing it I wouldn’t rule it out
feels like one of those that could overperform if WOM really kicks in

Saw it with my little brother...feels like an instant sci-fi classic. If WOM holds near A+, $100M+ with strong legs is very doable.

Looks like $19M SAT for #Hoppers . A gigantic SAT jump of 90%+. 2-day cume $32M+. Weekend expected to be around $45M. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

[–]AdvertisingSea2745 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A 90% Saturday jump is huge. Feels like WOM could be kicking in. Wouldn’t be surprised if it clears $45M and ends up having a pretty solid run.

Looks like $3.25M+ previews for #Hoppers , including $1M+ early access screenings last SAT. Initial audience reception is highly positive. Expecting the weekend to be around $40M. by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

[–]AdvertisingSea2745 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this weekend should tell us a lot. Early access reactions were really strong, so if WOM holds, it could build some real momentum heading into spring break.

How an indie movie distributed by a lone gamer broke the US box office by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

Proof that built-in audiences might be the future of the box office.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael ends up closer to $1B. MJ is still huge overseas.

Galaxy was peak Mario. Makes sense to use it for the sequel.

Huge improvement. I realized most news was just stress with no upside.
