Fantasy Movie League

Last Weekend of 2019

This is the last weekend of the year, can you believe it? Time has flown in 2019, and if you’re looking for some movies to watch, you have options. And most everything is out already, since Christmas Day is traditionally the last big release day of the year. But before we look ahead, let’s look back.

Last week I thought that the Friday screening of Star Wars was the best anchor, and I bet on Frozen 2 to provide value. Friday was the right anchor for Star Wars, but Rian Johnson’s Knives Out was the Best Value, and paced the Perfect Cineplex on seven screens.

Jumanji: The Next Level is the most expensive option at $383 FML Bucks, but Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker figures to lead the Box Office. However, it’s in daily scoring, which skews the value some. Box Office Pro sees $100.3 million for the weekend, while Box Office Report goes with $91. Fantasy Movie League sees $34.1 million Friday, $32.7 million Saturday and $25.2 million Sunday. That’s a three-day total of $92 million, in line with other three-day projections. The question is if the breakdown is correct. With the big College Football playoff games Saturday, and the final NFL slate Sunday, that could weaken later weekend scores. In addition, we could see folks traveling this weekend to go back to work on Monday.

Jumanji, meanwhile, is projected at $37.5 million by Fantasy Movie League. But they are WAY more excited than others. Box Office Report goes with $33 million while Box Office Report goes with $24.5 million. That makes it a real tough bet for value.

It’s hard to stay away from Star Wars, and I also think some indie films could do well. Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems is opening wider, and I think it could get a good bump.
