Will it stop the Black Panther's streak? Yes. All Pacific Rim will have to do is better than $20 million next weekend to dethrone Black Panther. Even Tomb Raider did $23 million this weekend. Still "Best # 1 streak since Avatar" isn't a bad title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at non-consecutive and consecutive #1 runs, you have spotty modern hits like this. 2009 - Avatar: 7 weeks 1999 - The Sixth Sense: 5 weeks 1997 - Titanic: 15 weeks 1994 - Forrest Gump: 5 weeks (not consecutive) 1992 - Basic Instinct: 5 weeks 1990 - Home Alone: 12 weeks (not consecutive) I'm surprised The Avengers was only #1 for 3 weekends. That movie was such a monster of a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1977) That would be on the DOMESTIC ADJUSTED LIST, which even on that Black Panther is now #47. It also gives you a feel for the road ahead what this movie would be tackling next - in same-dollars. And if you check The Avengers, you realize what a monster hit it is even when converted to 2018 USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the obsession with the numbers...I stop paying attention after I see it and just check a few months later. It's a topic, like any other related to a movie. In this case, where Hollywood has talked about how redundant and unrealistic comic book movies are so therefore burning audiences out on them. Yet the results prove these movies, when delivered in a way with the audience's entertainment in mind versus cookie cutter productions, truly excel. Now if you were concerned about people that take over a thread so as to post excessive negatives about a production they never saw, or just because they hated it so nobody else should have enjoyed it, I'd get your concern. But then that would be pointing out the obvious that folks get away with on here because 1) they sell books on here, and 2) they are 'just posting on a chat board'.

Gatsby77 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yeah - I'm okay with it being 90% about numbers at this point because... This is a comic book message board. Who _hasn't_ seen it by now after more than a month in release? Discussion-wise, folks have moved on to speculation re. Infinity War. But for a movie that many predicted to do somewhere around Doctor Strange numbers to have outperformed so spectacularly (and continue to hold as well as it has) is both newsworthy and fascinating. Black Panther will out-perform The Last Jedi domestically -- something _nobody_ saw coming -- even those who hated The Last Jedi. And for a true superhero movie to become the first 5x # 1 movie since Avatar is something all of us should be celebrating. comic_memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
