Christopher Robin

In the summer of 1975 audiences were thrilled by a film about a scary shark terrorizing beachgoers. It was called Jaws, it made Steven Spielberg a household name and it was followed by many other shark movies, including Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows in 2016 and, last year, 47 Meters Down.

In the box office lexicon, a “drop” refers to how much a movie’s revenues have fallen in its second outing, following the opening weekend. The drop is important, as it offers a pretty accurate way to project the final outcome of that particular film’s life in theaters around the world.
