Sooo...is this a record-breaking loss for a third weekend?


We all know it's second weekend loss of 210 million was. I've been trying to find another film that lost over 80 million in it's third weekend but have been unable to.

It's very possible that it's fourth weekend may suffer another record-breaking loss as well.

reply

There have only been 7 films with a second weekend of more than 80m, so you don't have to look to far. At least we can be confident that it's 4th weekend drop will be "better" than the 48m drop that that other enormous flop TFA had.

You were wrong about Detective Pikachu dethroning Endgame. Lul

reply

I asked if it was possible.

reply

Yes it is possible. They might not even get to 3.000.000.000,00 dollars in total!

reply

After a stunning first week, Endgame has continued to break records.

Unfortunately, they aren't the kinds of records that are desirable. The records being broken are all about dips and declines.

When will it stabilize? Remember...Godzilla is right around the corner.

reply

A high record will necessitate a sharp drop. Just like a higher altitude from a plane will necessitate a greater fall before pulling the parachute cord.

The only other option is long term stability, without setting opening records, ala Avatar... or of course a mix of half each, kinda like Titanic.... if Titanic set an opening record.

reply

From hero to zero.

reply

Haha...well...I wouldn't go THAT far but I'd be comfortable with saying she's got pretty weak legs for a film with A+ Cinemascore.

reply

There are a limited number of viewers in existence. This factor is missing from your ludicrous legs statement.

Now I see why billbrown rides your ass. You're spewing propaganda.

reply

Do you know which film previously held the record for the biggest thitd weekend drop queen?

reply

The Last Jedi?

reply

No, try again.

reply

The Force Awakens?

reply

Well done. You know which film currently holds the record for the biggest 4th weekend drop?

reply

The Force Awakens?

reply

You guessed it.

reply

Yes...attributable to the holiday season being over. It stabilized soon after with zero competition for two months.

Endgame won't enjoy that luxury, unfortunately.

reply

Before this weekend it was performing similarly to infinity war in terms of percentage drops.
Now infinity war had no competition untill its 4th weekend when deadpool 2 came out. Deadpool was a 120m opening and had a direct audience overlap. Endgame has john Wick which is projected at 38m opening and is not a family film. In its 4th week IW had solo opening to 80m. EG has alladin, which is projected to open lower.Infinity War had Incredibles 2 in week 7 which opened to 180m. A week later jutrsssic World. Of those, only deadpool had a noticable impact.

Queen do you know what you’re doing? You’re looking at the team that just won the Super Bowl and you’re criticizing them for not having more rushing yards. Just stop. You are embarrassing yourself.

I thought your most awkward comment was a few weeks ago when you said Shazam just “plays and plays”.Lol. But it seems you keep trying to top it.

reply

The "plays and plays" comment came from an industry analyst that I read as he was assessing Shazam's boffo Tuesday bumps.

reply

The fact that Endgame is having such huge drops and still able to maintain a #1 box office after all these weeks is incredible. Just shows how astronomical it’s opening weekend was.

reply

Lol...it's the best of times...and the worst of times.

We've never seen an opening week like that but we've also never seen a film absolutely plummet like this either.

Everyone is wondering...will it ever stabilize?

reply

Your "argument" is asinine.

There has NEVER been a movie like this, and that also goes for how the box office will tail off.

Its hardly the "worst of times" when you consider that Endgame is likely to top Avatar and do it in a fraction of the time.

It is $304million away from besting Avatar.

It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for ANY movie, even Endgame, to maintain a stratospheric box office and not have steep drops once the majority of people have seen it.

There was nothing to spoil in Avatar, you'd have to retell the entire movie to "spoil" it, but Endgame had specific moments in that could affect the desire to see it if they were spoiled, hence the clamour to see it so soon.

If you were genuine about your box office, you'd address this, but you don't, which is why people treat you with derision.

Scott Mendelson isn't very good......you're a "lite" version of him..... thats some boast!

Why don't you throw in another few faux "stay tuned" or any of the other mental phrases you use in an attempt to bolster yourself?

And when it does beat Avatar...... we can rely on you to post a thread with something negative to say, because yet again, you can't predict anything it seems.

reply

You're wasting your time; he's a troll. He knows as well as you and I that it was impossible for Endgame not to have those sort of numbers. When a film's opening weekend is 39% higher than any opening weekend in history, basic math tells you the subsequent weekend will show a record-breaking drop. There simply aren't enough people to sustain those numbers. We all know it, but Queen's schtick is to post naively, stating a fact and pretending to believe it means the opposite of what it does. Anything positive about Disney becomes a negative, anything negative about a competitor becomes a positive.

His post is the film-world equivalent to a person posting "After leading the Warriors in scoring during the playoffs, Kevin Durant didn't score a single point in game 6 vs. the Rockets on Friday night. What an awful night it was to be a Warriors fan."

reply

I absolutely agree , proof is EG reached 2 billion in 11 days while Avatar did it in 47 days , if a movie makes 2B in that short time it's impossible not to have those huge drops , i'm still confident EG will top Avatar

reply

Queen is baiting billbrown as billbrown is pretty much the one person who thought Endgame would have magnificent holds.

reply

The Term du jour for what QueenFanUSA is doing is "Gaslighting". What you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears is totally opposite.

reply

Not so cool now are they? Did you know that Captain Marvel is now showing on more screens than Shazam! is?

reply

Of course that's going to happen. The reason it started higher is because more people went to it earlier. That leaves less people to go to it in the following weeks. Pretty obvious.

Also, so what?

reply

What do you mean by "so what"?

reply

"So what" as in "what's your point"?

reply

Queenie has no point. I brought up the same thing and she didn't even comment.

She posts blatant propaganda and I don't even know what it's for. Best just to see Queenie as the joke she wants to be, because all she does is post this same kind of bullshit every day.

reply

QueenFanUSA identifies as "He" and not she.

reply

We all start as females in the womb ;)

reply

Are you calling him a Zygote???????

reply

Hey, I dont judge. If someone wants to be a zygote, thas coo.... Just remember that goodwill when I decide Im ready to be a tadpole.

reply

haha .... you are one sad individual

I must give you props for coming up with such threads on a consistent basis though.

Idiotic Nitpicking at its finest.
