nicolasb51942003 on May 2, 2026 2:35 pm Same second Friday as Project Hail Mary, but Friday to Friday drop is obviously bigger at 63% versus 55% when it opened $17M higher. Joker, which Michael’s opening squeaked over it by a million, was down 57% in Friday number two to pull a $55.8M second frame.
JannTosh70 on May 2, 2026 2:35 pm ImagineReddit’s reaction if this outgrosses Dune 3 and The Odyssey this year? Already many will be fuming when it passes Superman worldwide.
MoonMan997 on May 2, 2026 2:36 pm First time we’ll have two films over $50m in one weekend since Thanksgiving, thought we might have to wait until late June or even July to see that.
PatternPlenty1107 on May 2, 2026 2:50 pm That‘s phenomenal. 50M+ 2nd weekend should happen! That‘s less than a -50% drop from its opening weekend. 180M+ domestic on Sunday + 400M+ globally 300M+ domestic final pretty much happening! 
PatternPlenty1107 on May 2, 2026 2:53 pm Positive WOM is doing wonders! I knew this movie would be big. Can‘t wait to see how it‘ll do in Japan and South Korea. 
Witty-Jacket-9464 on May 2, 2026 3:01 pm ~$55M the second weekend. $350M DOM + $1B WW are VERY possible at this moment

Mike Moonwalked so his biopic could run.
