3rd writethru, Friday PM: Is it the curse of the 2017 four-day holiday weekends?
Quite similar to MLK weekend, we’re seeing a number of studio wide releases die over the Presidents’ Day four-day stretch, while last weekend’s holdovers are rallying.
According to early evening figures, Warner Bros’ The Lego Batman Movie and Universal’s Fifty Shades Darker are posting incredible holds than what we were originally saw, with an even bigger potential bump from Monday’s business which will see 84% K-12 off from school with an additional 34% colleges on break (ComScore).
Lego Batman is dipping 34% in its second weekend at 4,088 theaters with $35.3M over three and an estimated $46.5M over four. Cume by Monday is expected to stand at $111.1M. The Chris McKay-directed animated movie easily wins Friday with $8M.
Pure fun and entertainment to the max. Lots of winks to Batman lore, the movies etc. Great vocal performances all around, especially from Fiennes as Alfred.
I think we all know whatSuperman meant by "put Zod in the Phantom Zone"
WHO NEVER SKIPS LEG DAY? BATMAN!!
Anyone else think the whole Joker unleashing classic villains from the Phantom Zone bit was similar to Benedict's plot in LAST ACTION HERO?

I understand there's been a previous Lego Batman movie. Does anybody know anything about that?![]()

Are you taking about this? Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite

Yes that looks like the one. Is the new Lego Batman Movie a sequel to that one? I don't hear it talked about much.
No. The theatrical Lego movies are in their own continuity separate from the direct-to-video ones.
Ah, okay. Thanks. Have you seen that older one? If so, is it any good?
I couldn't get into that one. The rest of them are good.
