Yes, which would put it THIRTY DOLLARS in front of Hostiles for fifth places. Should be interesting when the numbers go final... which probably won't happen until tomorrow, by which time I'll be on a plane. Can someone else post the BOM results when they go live?

Most of the four-day estimates are in but nothing on All the Money in the World yet (I'm expecting $2-3 million for the day).

One of the most impressive numbers this week is Wonder losing 2,500 theatres but only dropping 51% and managing a $3,000+ PTA in its sixth week. Wouldn't be surprised to see some theatres bring it back in matinees on Friday to split with Father Figures.

4-day totals:

1. Star Wars; The Last Jedi, $100.7M
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, $52.1M ($68.8M six-day)
3. Pitch Perfect 3, $25.6M
4. The Greatest Showman, $14.0M ($18.6M six-day)
5. Ferdinand, $9.7M
6. Coco, $7.4M
7. Downsizing, $7.3M
8. Darkest Hour, $5.4M
9. Father Figures, $4.9M
10. The Shape of Water, $4.3M
11. Wonder, $2.6M
12. The Star, $1.6M
13. Justice League, $1.5M
14. Thor: Ragnarok, $1.2M
15. Daddy's Home 2, $1.1M
16. Call Me By Your Name, $1.0M
17. The Post, $830K
18. Murder on the Orient Express, $750K
19. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, $725K


This puts Star Wars just shy of $400M.

Jumanji is looking like a big hit. Pitch Perfect 3 is following the pattern of comedy sequels, and the rest are all busts.

Murder on the Orient Express and Daddy's Home 2 are both at $99.4M. Huh.


PTA:
1. The Post
2. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
3. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
4. Happy End
5. Hostiles

(Keep in mind this has no bearing on the Fri-Sun numbers. Today's numbers didn't include I Tonya, which is in the mix.)



No Monday numbers for Molly's Game, All the Money in the World or Phantom Thread yet.

No estimates yet but All the Money in the World only managed a B Cinemascore. Looks like this will another Ridley Scott film that will die quickly.
