Warner Bros., which has released the best opening and second-year art of any film within the pandemic to date. and Legendary’s Godzilla teen Kong is ready to easily repeat a third time on top of the box.
The film dropped nearly 57 percent this past weekend when it came off Easter and a bit preloaded by fans, ending up on the lower end of expectations in the second act. Even without report sheets from the studio this week, there is no reason the film is not heading for a best third pandemic weekend that will be the best Tenet‘s $ 4.7 million in September last year.
The probable outcomes based on the current models for the sample series’ third framework are between $ 7.5 million and $ 10 million.
Elsewhere, maintaining key retention should stay the same for most key releases. The average weekend-to-weekend drop during the period April 9-11 was less than 10 percent in the rest of the top-10 films. With a few more Regal locations starting this weekend and no significant competition entering the market, there is little reason to expect sharp declines. Scores also remain mostly stable.
However, it can be a factor to consider in the race for second place Nobody‘s release on PVOD this Friday. Or does it soften the box office just enough to touch behind Disney’s Raya and the last dragon and / or Sony’s The unholy will still have to be seen, but it has developed very encouraging legs so far.
As new versions start, the standout in a limited footprint will be NEONs In the earth. Unfortunately, the studio did not confirm the exact number of scores, although The Boxoffice Company’s Showtimes Dashboard registers no less than 527 for the weekend. This indicates a probable total close to or more than 550. This could possibly be enough for an opening weekend near or between the Top Ten.
Looking ahead, the launch of Warner Bros. will take place next Friday. ‘latest day-and-date experiment with a well-known brand in the form of Mortal Kombat, while Sony’s FUNinmation made the domestic debut of Demon Slayer: The Movie – Mugen Train Japan’s biggest box office hit of all time.

Due to the lack of significant new content appearing on screens, Boxoffice will broadcast the weekend’s ten best films drops between 25 and 30 percent from the top ten series of $ 25.2 million from last weekend, the second best score of the pandemic era after the previous Easter weekend.
