Black numbers are $3,766,483 - again, it was underestimated.

So no, SoF did not take 3rd place from Insidious on Friday night.

Insidious had 1,006%; SoF had 1,000%.

After Saturday's projections:

SoF had 1,036%; Insidious had 1,012%.

After Sunday's projections:

SoF had 1,064; Insidious had 1,019%




Yeah. SoF was underestimated again, but sadly it didn't help in relation to Insidious which found a lot of money under the international couch cushions. Insidious stubbornly remains in 3rd place, but the gap should close tonight or tomorrow for sure.


Quote:

Still no international numbers from Australia's July 24th launch for SOF. It will open in Mexico tomorrow and the UK on Tuesday.


Whoops. I didn't notice until you pointed it out below that I had my months all screwed up. I thought it already released in Australia and was opening in Mexico and the UK today and tomorrow. Boy that's late in the game... I wonder if there will still be any buzz about it for those releases when nobody is talking about it on YouTube anymore?


Quote:

Without any help overseas, it is now solidly 3rd place on the returns list.

SoF needs 291% to beat Super Mario Bros.
SoF needs 411% to beat M3GAN.



It now needs 22% to beat Insidious, 291% to beat Super Mario Bros and 411% to beat M3GAN. It is ahead of Barbie by 290%.

Quote:

Disney's Haunted Mansion, laughably, will not be a threat. Barbie, OTOH, is already sitting at 775% worldwide return on the $100 Million budget in just 10 days with just a 43% drop projected from last weekend. As I've stated before in other threads, studios tend to downplay projections on blockbuster movies in their first few weeks when they're raking in the big bucks, so I wouldn't be surprised if that number is actually as low as only a 38 or 39% drop from last weekend when the legit numbers are in.


Warner Bros. actually botched their projections and this is only one of a very small handful of times that I saw a big money blockbuster make less money than the studio projections within the first month of release, so the percentage was down by 1%.


Quote:

I think SoF gained 178% in the past 7 days, it's slowest week.


That is correct. And yes... It's slowest week.

Quote:

I expect Barbie to get $110-120M from today to next Sunday, getting up to about 1,000%.
The following 7 days only about $70-80M, for another 170%.



Right now I can tell you that Domestically Barbie made $162,022,044 on weekend one and $93,011,602 on weekend 2 for a 43% drop. And I can also tell you that Barbie roughly made $194 Million internationally on weekend one and $232 Million more during Monday through Sunday this week. But I can't tell you how much it made internationally just over the 2nd weekend.

All that being said. I think your prediction for the 7 days are sound. My guess is $116.2 Million from Monday night to Sunday night, and just a shade under $70 Million for the following 7 days. That would be a US total of around $537 Million after August 13th's numbers are finalized.

I'm basing this on the fact that Barbie didn't perform as well as Super Mario Bros did from Weekend 1 to Weekend 2, but I'm also cutting it some slack and more or less splitting the difference between what Barbie did comparatively in its second week vs. what SMB did going forward the next 2 weeks.

Quote:

Not sure if Barbie will catch up to SoF. Barbie will drop below the 100% per week faster than SoF will, I expect.


You've got to keep in mind that it's already released worldwid

You are right. I made a horrifying mistake because I didn't actually download the movie. So much shame and embarrassment I feel for mislabeling a movie.

That movie is "To Freedom" rather than "Sound of Freedom" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt25573976/

I see that The Pirate Bay has both movies under the title "Sound of Freedom".

Keep littering a Google searchable board that doesn't require a sign up with pirated links and stolen intellectual property.

I know Haken is just sleeping at the wheel at this point, but one day he'll notice what you've been doing and you're going to get your other handle banned, Reaverfan. And with no ability to sign up to fff.net anymore, whatever will you do with your sad and pathetic life?

They just turned black for the weekend.
Sunday SoF jumped up to highest take per screen, beating Indy5 and Red Door. It was estimated behind Red Door.

Also, every single day since release, SoF has more $ per screen that Indy5.
Even when it added more than 13% more theaters for the weekend.

Will DR Domestic BO ever catch up to SoF?

DR is $10.9M behind SoF in Domestic BO, and falling.

Monday, SoF made 14% of it's Budget in Domestic BO on it's 28th day.
Barbie made 15% Domestic on it's 11th day.

Monday, WokeSayGay Mansion dropped 61% from Sunday, more than any other save Pedo Flasher, and I expect it to quickly drop below SoF.

I did forget to mention that a week ago, DR was still the Widest Release with 4,321 theaters.

I think there will be an interesting experiment in the next month. How much do Aussies, Brits, Mexicans depend upon Utoob for their news, what they should think or feel, compared to Woke couch potatoes pink weirdos from America?
I know Mexicans are extremely Catholic.
I've heard that Spanish are as well, but I'm not certain of that.
I think Irish have historically been Catholic (Roman, Papists) as well.

I have failed to mention things Inoticed when I watched Soound of Freedom a second time.

The music, score were beautiful, poignant, and haunting. If the same piece, the final time has lyrics, which are translated to English and shown in subscript.

Alannah De La Rossa is listed in the credits, but I didn't catch exactly what the credit was. It was after character credits, with a group of Stand-In credits.

Many of the actors on the imdb page now have pictures, images - before they were mostly blank.

The imdb page for Cristal Aparicio as Rocio now has photos, from her screen shots in Sound of Freedom, which obviously were 5 years ago.

I forgot to mention the first time that the credits do include a list of the THOUSANDS of individuals and families who supported or contributed or funded this production, or it's Distribution campaign - this may be the "crowd-funding" apparatus I have read about. These are listed primarily in alphabetical order.

Again this second time, nobody left the theater during the countdown to the Special Message.

How you do anything is how you do everything.

6ixStringJack, you should hire a lawyer to sue Haken for failing to protect the copyrights and intellectual property rights of Sound of Freedom's production company. There are litigators who will be pleased to take your money for several years until you realize that you are a loser.
