Figure down 30% and a weekend in the low teens. Book Club: The Next Chapter - This is pretty soft today in comparison to where The Book Club was at the same point on opening day.
Friday, May 19, 2023 Third weekend of May 2023
On the chart Book Club 2 (wk 2): $3.0M, -55%
Friday, May 3, 2024 First weekend of May 2024
In the note
Because the new films on the 2nd weekend in May were pretty soft in 2023 (Book Club: The Next Chapter, Hypnotic) and we have a big IP (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) opening, we have a decent shot of at least matching (and possibly beating) the same weekend from 2023.
Friday, May 10, 2024 Second weekend of May 2024
In the note
We’ve got a good sized tentpole this weekend thanks to Disney (via 20th) and that might actually be enough to get us even with the same weekend last year (Book Club: The Next Chapter, Hypnotic), so we’ll stop the year to year bleeding (for a week anyway).
