Do you mean Madonna's 'Like a Prayer'?

so with a 1.6m thurs, if it follows JW4's second weekend: 3.2 5 3.4 11.6 (-54%)

True, but I'm hoping the much better Monday — Wednesday hold (-5% for CW vs -19% for JW4) indicates stronger legs.

If today is flat and it follows John Wick 4 (R-rated Spring release): 3.6 (+100%) 5.65 (+57%) 3.75 (-33%) 13.0 (-49.4%)

Weekend thread disappeared before we ever got actuals. 🙃 A24 is going to need to hire another accountant. C’mon big bois.

Trader Joe’s uniform guys were WF.

It wasn’t 2 states vs 48. It was mentioned that other states had seceded as well, even if not part of the WF. Point being it wasn’t just two dissenting states up against a powerful and united 48. The established govt in DC was crumbling under a third term president whose cabinet and generals were turning angainst, and most of the unaffected population were indifferent, like the parents in Colorado/ Missouri.

It’s the best kind of cinema IMO. Everyone has a strong opinion and different interpretation. It demands discussion whether you’re angry or inspired. I think even the conversation of “what *should an American Civil War look like?” the film is sparkling only adds weight and value to it. I was never looking for this film to confirm or condemn a political ideology. I like what it was able to achieve without that.

Same. I thought it was really well done.

Demand doesn't seem too frontloaded for CW. I can see it hitting 25m+ OW.

I guess it also depends on how often you frequent the theater. I pay $25 a month for my AMC A-List pass, which is $2 cheaper than my current Netflix subscription, and have seen 17 films this year, mostly in Dolby, and spent an average of $5.88 a ticket so far (4 monthly payments x $25), which will keep averaging down as I see more films this month. My point being, if theatergoing is an activity someone wants to invest time in it doesn’t need to be expensive in 2024, and in fact I’m spending significantly less than I did in 2008 when I was at the theater all summer long, and without a guaranteed seat.

Yesterday also happened to be the observed holiday for Cesar Chavez. My husband had it off for that reason.

Maybe... maybe not. Her last film was not a musical and featured no singing.

Should be at about $75m by Monday morning. I don't see how it misses $100m.

Honestly this is a better previews number than I expected. Is it impossible to match Afterlife's $44m OW number?

Except M3GAN never got close. This will be within a few million.

Should finish with 96-98m.

Bob Marley is going to sputter out with <100m, isn't it? That's annoying.

How much did Arthur cost Lionsgate? I caught a screening of it Monday and it doesn't look particularly expensive, especially with the CGI they delivered lol.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and IF are released between. May has at least one 100m+ tentpole each weekend. It will lose PLF's it's second weekend and bleed more screens/showings in the subsequent weeks. That being said, I think it will likely still have decent legs given the early reception, but I don't think it's quite the same barren landscape as, say, right now for Dune2 and KFP4.

It was also trolled pretty hard prior to release for how awful it looked visually and how redundant and boring the story was.

"Scream 7"

Is BOM done posting daily numbers (and actuals)? End of an era.

Was going to see Madame Web tonight, seats we reserved a few weeks ago, but just decided to cancel and see Bob Marley instead. Typically negative reception wont keep me from witnessing a train wreck but the feedback from MW sounds pretty bleak.
