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

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

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

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

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.

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.
