We’ve become so accustomed to pre-sales lately, it’s really weird to see the growth from hour to hour at certain theaters, it’s like I took a step back 10 years in time. Because of that, I’m not sure what the rest of the day (and night) holds. But for now it looks high 20s for the 3 day, and mid 30’s for the 4 day. But this is growing in a weird way, so anything could happen. Furiosa - I’m a big Mad Max fan.

On the chart Furiosa (wk 2): $10.8M, -59%
Expected 'Figure a weekend of around 11 or 12' Actual: $10.8M

So we could have a situation where Furiosa has a bounce tomorrow that makes this interesting.
Friday, June 7, 2024 First weekend of June 2024
Expected 'It's way down today' Actual: $4.2M, -61%
In the note
Both Garfield (which should give Sony a nice 1 - 2 finish this weekend) and IF have very small drops from last week, but the competition is showing up in Furiosa, and it’s way down today.

Some of you might say ‘but what about Furiosa?’, and that’s an interesting example.

We just saw this on Furiosa, and 2 years ago Anya Taylor Joy was the next big thing; but her star power hadn’t developed by the time Furiosa was released. But in the Glen Powell case, it seemed to happen right on time.
Friday, September 13, 2024 Second weekend of September 2024
In the note
Not that this is unusual, we just saw another massive Marvel star contribute very little at the box-office with Chris Hemsworth in Furiosa, so this is another example of actor IP and character IP not correlating at the box-office.
