I'm glad you found the video to be as informative as I did, bud. Sounds like you already might have had a head start on me. I was doing everything wrong.

Say it ain't so...

Wednesday night numbers (Day 6): $1,825,000 total, $431 per theater. I guess the name change didn't help the movie.

To put that into perspective, Episode 9 and Joker didn't see a night below $2 Million until their 5th Monday (Day 25). Episode 9 didn't see a per theater average that low until the same day (Day 25), and Joker didn't see one that low until the following Thursday (Day 28).

To really drive it home, on Day Six, Episode 9 had a per theater average of $7,300, and Joker had a per theater average of $2,197.

Without a ton of challenges coming down the pipe this weekend outside of Sonic, expect them to slash no more than about 1k to 1.2k theaters max and see these per theater average numbers get so bad so quick that they take a bit of the sting out of how embarrassingly fast Episode 9 fell compared to Joker.

LOL

They're going all in on the idea that the name change is all the movie needed.

Not only aren't they going to reduce the number of theaters showing Birds of Prey, but they're not removing a single theater showing it.

It's going to be the widest US release two weeks in a row. It's going to have more theaters in its second week than Sonic will have in its first.

This should be cringe.

It will probably dip below $300 per theater on average during its second week. Something that didn't happen to Episode 9 until Week Four and Joker until Week Five.

...said no one.

No, they took their kids to see Sonic, but because of the CONSTANT homophobic language ( cite? ) through out the movie, they went to go see Birds of Prey instead.

I don't know. They might have. Every single movie that comes out with a woman lead is the "first ever female led action movie" according to these NPCs. But you're probably right. None of these fat pink haired weirdos ever actually had a date on Valentine's day, so the concept of a man taking them out to see a movie on VDAY is alien to them and probably didn't cross their minds.

Yeah... that one is crazy, ain't it? Did these NPC's employ Russian twitterbots to put those tweets out there?

BTW... Sonic pulled in nearly $21 million last night, and there's a good chance that is more money than Birds of Prey will make in the entire 4 day weekend.

It's so funny watching the articles coming out claiming that Friday night was a "win" for Birds of Prey. Even with the name change, it was 51% down from opening night. That might be a lower number than is typically expected from a first to second week drop, but they already started at the bottom.

Episode 9 fell 71% from Friday One to Friday Two, but it pulled in just shy of $90 Million on opening night, so of course it did. Joker fell 57% from Friday One to Friday Two, but it pulled in just shy of $40 Million on opening night, so again, of course it did.

Birds of Prey opened with BO numbers that typically reflect Week Two or even Week Three BO numbers. If you look at the percentage fall between weeks of movies like Episode 9 and the Joker beyond the first to second week fall when they've stabilized, a 45% to 55% drop is much more common from Friday to Friday.

I'm interested in seeing how Valentines Day may or may not have effected these numbers as well. Personally, I don't think it's wise for anybody at this point in time to predict the full weekend take for Birds of Prey based off of last night because it was VDAY.

I used to get things like Tickle Me Elmo as presents for girls I dated back in my late teens and early 20's. Most of them would have loved to go see Sonic on VDAY back then. Who knows what kids are into these days. Maybe BoP's Friday numbers were bolstered by the holiday and paint a worse picture than is being assumed right now.

Should know by around noon tomorrow.

Update: A Warner Bros. spokesperson told IGN that the official title remains the same, and this new title is only being used by ticket sites to help search expansion. The original had "Harley Quinn" at the end of a very long title, so this new title is designed to help people better find the movie when searching for "Harley Quinn."

And 6IX, I saw Pikachu out of both boredom and the bro crush I have for Ryan Reynolds.

Not a real fan of Jim Carey, and I don't know who does the voice of Sonic. I played the game a bit in the 90's, but my attention never held on long enough for me to finish the game, I don't think. Or I did, and it was underwhelming. Either way, I'm glad it's doing well.

And James Marsden...what an odd career. Plays Cyclops in those XMen movies, but also shows up in kids movies like HOP and SONIC? Weird.
