Weekend Box Office 3/12 - KONG Reigns Over Frigid Tundra

#1 Post by AndyDursin »

I think that's a decent opening for KONG, not sure why some analysts/fans expected higher. The character does not have the rabid Godzilla fan following so expecting that kind of performance is surprising to me. Besides, people went to the Jackson movie but I would argue not many people really liked it...so I think in some way that may have cut down the grosses as well. We'll see how it fares foreign...

Huge drop for LOGAN, but it fits the pattern of the other Wolverine films and has already cashed out its money...

KONG's going over $60 mil with a strong Saturday (played well with kids I'd imagine) and that's 35% over projections from a few weeks ago according to the "experts" at Deadlinehollywood.com

Very good performance IMO
