Rather harsh drop for Star Wars. On the plus side that's a pretty great debut for Little Women, and even Uncut Gems is doing solid. deadline.com/2019/12/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-little-women-uncut-gems-spies-in-disguise-post-christmas-box-office-1202817539/1.)

I thought the holiday would keep SW in their Scrooge McDuck pool of money, but I guess I'd be wrong then.
Doesn't help that the best WOM from my friends was "it's not as dumb as Jedi bacteria, but it's close".

Geez, that's a terrible drop for SW.
Box office mojo has Little Women as just under 20 mil. for the 5 day, not 29 mil, which would be a pretty spectacular number for them. A good result either way.

I doubt any of the bigwigs at Disney tonight are celebrating. |

I doubt any of the bigwigs at Disney tonight are celebrating. If Disney knows what's good for them, the next Star Wars trilogy or series (in case if they want to make an additional film) will be a KotOR adaptation, with the crew of The Mandalorian working on it and having the same writers for all the films. They could also get someone like Ryan Coogler or Brad Bird to direct those films. |

But since EA is EA... that's not gonna happen unless it costs like $150... for the first planet of the first game. |

I doubt any of the bigwigs at Disney tonight are celebrating. C'mon, there's no way that's happening. It'll already have 365 mil by the end of its second weekend, it should cross 500 quite safely. And I'm pretty sure a billion worldwide is safe too - the question is how much further it will go after it crosses that. |

It keeps dropping further and further, and it's not doing great overseas either. Many box office experts I follow think it might struggle reach to 500m, because of poor WOM. It all depends heavily on how well it holds post Christmas. |

Given how earlier estimates had it, that's a better Saturday drop for Skywalker, but still not great. Wow at Little Women, it actually beat Frozen II on Saturday.

I thought Frozen 2 would come close to the first film's total but it is showing some serious legs. Might end up in the $1.4B range.

The 29 mil is showing up everywhere as the number for Little Women now. That's great for them. It's a popular property and has good reviews/WOM and Christmas week is a big time for movies so that must have helped. Neither Ronan or Watson are really big draws like Ryder was in the 90's so that's what makes it a surprise.

Given that it's an adult family drama with a 40m budget, it would be a very impressive total sum. |

Definitely has a shot at 100 mil domestic with this opening and it will likely have good legs with the dead January period up ahead and the good WOM. |

Neither Ronan or Watson are really big draws like Ryder was in the 90's so that's what makes it a surprise. Ryder never was a bix office draw. Her films in the 90s average was 20 million dollars, around 50 millions today.- Watson was in Harry Potter movies and the beauty and the beast, that were big hits.- Returning to 1994. Little Women hadn't 2019 Little Women hype. Yep Ryder and Sarandon were huge names at the time (much more than Ronan and Dern), but the rest of the crew, weren't unknown but not big names. Kirsten Dunst and Claire Danes were in vogue for IWAV and MSCL, but at the time of the shooting were totally unknowns by big audiences. Eric Stoltz was a former teen heartrobe of the 80s, but not a big star. Gabriel Byrne John Neville and Mary Wickes were familiar faces but never were stars either. Christian Bale was a promising teen actor, but all his films, before LW, flopped badly at the B.O. The same we can said about Samantha Mathis and Trini Alvarado. The 2019 had 2 big names. Timothee Chalamet and Meryl Streep, an Academy Award Winner Chris Cooper and 3 foreign very respected actors: Florence Pugh, Louis Garrel and James Norton. And a promising TV star Eliza Scalen and BobOdenkirk is a powerful TV name .- not only but also Greta Gerwig is a much more famouse household name than Gillian Armstrong never was. The movie looks also more expensive than the 1994 version. The 1994 cost 15 million dollars plus 3 extra millions for the soundtrack and merchandanzing. Gerwig could lie about the relative low budget 40 million (the same Adjusted inflassion of the 1994 film). But this cost around 100 million dollars including promotion. This is probably the seccond most expensive Little Women film. The first is clearly the 1949 version, the seccond is this, the third Cuckor and then Armstrong.- |

I would call Little Women's opening solid rather than spectacular.Uncut Gems was the real triumph of the holiday weekend,those numbers are fantastic.

Knives Out is up 50% after dropping theaters! All Rian Johnson needs is a Screenplay Oscar nom and his year of vindication is complete.
