Where it turns up
Thursday, December 26, 2024 Christmas Day 2024
On the chart Nosferatu (Christmas Day opening): $21.7M 3-day / $40.8M 5-day
Expected 'This looks like 9 or 10 today': IMAX-capped in the big cities Actual: ~$10-11M implied Christmas Day; $40.8M through Sunday
In the note
It’s up a very similar % that Jumanji was up from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, and it looks like a really positive day of $13 million or so. Nosferatu - I was really wary of this film on Christmas Day, because we’ve never had a successful Vampire movie on Christmas Day, but since this is less of a Vampire Movie than Robert Eggers film turned up to Eggers 💯, the cineste’s are out in force today and this is pulling really big numbers; and that’s the interesting aspect to what’s going on here.
Friday, January 10, 2025 Second weekend of January 2025
On the chart Nosferatu (wk 3): $6.9M, -47%
Expected Babygirl smallest drop, ~40% for the group Actual: -31% / -37% / -47%, Babygirl smallest, as called
In the note
But when you look at the ‘Golden 12’ days from Christmas Day to the 5th of January (when the calendar aligns this way,12 days is a more appropriate slice of time instead of the standard ‘Golden 8’), here’s what the 12 golden days look like as a multiple of Christmas Day: The Fire Inside - 4.2 A Complete Unknown - 5.8 Nosferatu - 6.0 Babygirl - 10.4 So Babygirl polled the worst (by far), and held the best after Christmas Day (by far).
