Where it turns up
Friday, February 24, 2023 Fourth weekend of February 2023
On the chart Cocaine Bear (opening): $23.3M
Expected 'Might be conservative but it should get to at least to the low mid 20's' Actual: $23.3M
In the note
It’s behind what we would normally see a Disney/Marvel’s 2nd Friday, and the drop looks like it’s going to be 70% or so (and maybe more) off last week. Figure a 3 day in the mid/low 30s. Cocaine Bear - This internet sensation that seems to be answering the question ‘what if Snakes on a Plane didn’t suck?’, got off to a pretty good start last night and looks solid today.
Friday, March 3, 2023 First weekend of March 2023
On the chart Cocaine Bear (wk 2): $11.1M, -52%
Expected 'Probably a weekend around $12 million' Actual: $11.1M, -52%
In the note
But figure it's down another 55 or 60% this weekend for a gross around $12 million. Cocaine Bear - Showing some resiliency today, looks down a little better than you would normally see.
Friday, March 10, 2023 Oscar weekend 2023
Expected 'Down 45% for a weekend of 6 or so' Actual: $6.2M, -44%
In the note
For now, I’ll say it’s about 8 million for the weekend. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Looking a little more normal this weekend, down 40% for a weekend of about $8 million. Cocaine Bear - I thought this would hold a little better than it's holding.
