I know...it's pretty bad. Deadline is reporting that it is only making around 17 million today.

It's in danger of falling below Rogue One in the end!

What this article seems to miss is that in 2015 the Monday after the premiere fell on December 21. Last Monday was December 18. Far more adults had taken off early for the holidays in 2015. Not the case this year, with Christmas falling next Monday. Virtually no one is off yet. People that aren't working tend to do things like go to the movies. My prediction is that next week ticket sales remain the same, or actually increase over this week.
