    Any guesses how ridiculous Taylor Swift’s weekend numbers get? I’m not much of a movie goer but these posts are fun.

      I’m taking a stab at $120 million domestic. I think most people going opening weekend will already have their tickets.

        It isn’t a draw for me in the slightest, but the historic interest in her tour is still an interesting phenomenon

    Not good numbers for Hollywood. Still proving my point, these figures are unsustainable for theaters to stay open.

    What does weekend x mean? Why is the left and right number sometimes the same and sometimes not? What is “WW”?

      What does weekend X mean?

      It’s the movie’s 2nd+ weekend in theaters.

      What is the left and right number sometimes the same?

      Right column shows total, left shows just the latest weekend. It’s only the same if it’s the film’s first weekend.

      What is “WW”?

      “Worldwide”.

      What does weekend x mean?

      I’m assuming it’s weekends since premiere. Weekend 1 would be the weekend it comes out, weekend 2 would be the following weekend, etc. The left column is just measuring week by week and not all of the movies came out at the same time.

      Why is the left and right number sometimes the same and sometimes not?

      If a movie is on weekend 1 then the total is just whatever it has earned in this first weekend, so they’d match. Movies that have been out longer will have higher totals than the week being measured.

      What is “WW”?

      Worldwide, I’m assuming. So the top number would be domestic total and the bottom number would be domestic+international.

        This whole thing is far from great information design. Appreciate the effort, though.

          I dunno, I think weekend X is pretty clear in the context of movie releases (and really, so is the idea of a cumulative total on the right)

    My God I am out of the game ,I barely recognised these movies and didn’t know any of them were being released
