THR: Wonder Woman Holding Better Than Any Superhero Movie in 15 Years Antibody Jul 13, 12:53

WONDR only dropped 24 percent yesterday, could see a soft decline of 35 percent or less this weekend. It's doing great. {nm} RollingThunder Jul 13, 12:58

At this rate it'll surpass GOTG2 no problem. Congrats to the 2 peeps who picked WONDR as #1 for the Summer Pick 5 {nm} Nigel_Ray Jul 13, 13:04

Agreed. Not many saw that happening... {nm} -JPV- Jul 13, 13:55

Dunkirk hasn't even come out yet {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 13, 15:06

(Saving Private Ryan had a 7x multiplier from a $30m o.w. on the same date in 1998) {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 13, 15:19

When's the last time a movie, opening in the summer, had a 7x multiplier? -JPV- Jul 13, 16:24

well, Saving Private Ryan for one. slipping jimmy Jul 13, 16:42

A big reason that Saving Private Ryan had such a pull with the older, "patriotic" crowd was that it told a WWII story from the US POV. Paul2k Jul 13, 18:38

Should say, recently. 7x just doesn't happen anymore. Unless Dunkirk somehow breaks out in its OW, not going to happen. {nm} -JPV- Jul 13, 16:59

o.w. is less important for Dunkirk than WOM with older/"red state" audiences (imo). no real competition through Labor Day slipping jimmy Jul 13, 17:22

Sorry, don't see it happening. I'm going with 38M OW/122M DOM/340M WW {nm} -JPV- Jul 13, 17:42

i'm not going to predict anything until i see it but i'll take the over {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 13, 17:49

(even if it only had Hacksaw Ridge's 4.4 multiplier, that would be $176m on a $40m o.w., for instance) {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 13, 18:24

Except Hacksaw Ridge opened in November. {nm} -JPV- Jul 13, 18:42

summer is just as vacation-y in terms of time off. and nowhere near the same level of competition for the adult movie demo {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 13, 18:56

yeah I saw this article as well...but then confused myself when I looked at the last few days {nm} tealfan Jul 13, 14:53

Last week was July 4 though, so you'd expect a bigger-than-normal drop. {nm} RogerMore Jul 13, 12:57

Day 39 and 40 vs last week were 7/3 and 7/4 holiday. {nm} Antibody Jul 13, 12:58

ah crap.. that's right...should have looked at the calendar =P {nm} tealfan Jul 13, 14:51
