How much frontloading is going on here?

29 days is immaterial. Front loading is a term for a movie that generates the bulk of its revenue in its opening weekend. Whatever it makes in the first 3 days, as compared to what it makes in total for its entire run.

Front loaded films make half or more of their money in the opening weekend, and typically fall into two categories:

1. films that have a specific audience, most of whom are eager to see the movie as soon as its out, but have little appeal to more general audiences

2. films that have huge word of mouth leading up to their opening, but audience/critical response to the opening is so negative that audiences stay away in the future

Black Panther, and The Last Jedi for that matter, fit none of the requirements to be considered front loaded films.

Jumanji's box office, on the other hand, is the beneficiary of coming out during a time when no big movies were being released to compete with it. For a couple months, it was the only blockbuster-type movie playing that wasn't The Last Jedi, and it reaped the benefits of that quirk of scheduling. Everyone who'd seen Jedi and wanted to see a "big" movie had no other choice, except for those who opted to see Jedi multiple times.

The comedy of this is that BP made $1.1b in 29 days, thats called front loading. TLJ made all its money in just 45 days, which is also front loaded. A movie that is not front loaded is Jumanji. Its got real legs.

nope...

"Frontloaded" is box office terms is used to describe a Film that Opens Big and then falls off quick or rapidly

thats is how that box office community has always defined Frontloaded...If you define it differently thats fine your entitled to your own Opinion, but Just know your Opinion is not shared by the Majority

a perfect example of being FrontLoaded is....BvS

BvS had an Opening Weekend of 166 Million and a total domestic gross of 330 M....Meaning BvS made more than 50% of its domestic gross on OW, thats Frontloaded

BvS had a 424 Million dollar GLOBAL opening Weekend, BvS total WW gross was 870 M...Meaning BvS made almost 50% on its entire gross on its Opening weekend...

BvS in every way possible started off HUGE and Collapsed..this is the definition of frontloaded

Black doesnt even remotely fit the criteria for "frontloaded"

Black Panther opened with 201 M and Will end its domestic run over 650 M, Meaning BP has had a PLUS X3 Multiplier, This is Great, It means Black Panther Opened HUGE and NEVER Fell off, it continued to have Great Holds

Black Panther had A GLOBAL debut of 361 M....and Will finish over 1.2 B...Meaning Black Panther once again had a +X3 Multiplier, Meaning Black Panther has Continues Strong through out its entire run

to say Black Panther is frontloaded, means you are ignoring all facts, that is the only way you can possible say Black Panther is Frontloaded

Now if you want to point out BP hasnt had ALL TIME great legs like Jumanji, thats accurate, Jumanji has proven to be one of the most "Leggy" films of all time

there are very few movies in history to have legs like Jumanji.

but Black Panther does not in any way fit the universally recognized term for "Frontloaded"....every single box office stat for BP PROVES unequivocally BP has had Great Legs, Great Holds and does not in any way fit the criteria that the box office community goes by for "frontloaded"

If you truly believe BP is frontloaded...then unfortunately that is a YOU PROBLEM

you simply have the wrong criteria for frontloaded, You are going by a standards the Majority does not, has not and Will never go by.

although I must admit, I dont even think you really believe BP is frontloaded, its so absurd I dont think anyone could really believe that...I suspect your just angry and trolling


now I've just hit you with an Avalanche of indisputable facts....take some time, Let them sink in, and then proceed with caution...

at this point you can only make yourself look worse...
