Only 8 Movies had Bigger 2nd Weekends w/ Smaller Drops


This is the best stat to look at because expectations for weekend-to-weekend percentage drops really depend on how big a tentpole release your movie is. Combining both these stats tells us that these are the handful of movies that had those big opening weekends, but also had a strong audience hold in the second weekend. Wonder Woman is joining a VERY LEGGY club. The below are films that kept amazing holds for a long time and reached big multipliers of the opening weekend gross in the end. Also, a few of these had second weekends on holidays, which WW does not, which makes its performance even stronger by comparison.

More power to everyone involved in the production, but Wonder Woman already belongs to a very leggy club.
