Justice League is paying the price for BvS and SS being dreadful and WB inexplicably not making Wonder Woman the center of all promotional materials post-July. Add in a well-received MCU threequel on pace for $310 million+ DOM and you get sub-$275 million DOM. I have a hard time believing it will finish below $240 million DOM, though. The smaller OW and Coco as the sole opener should give it enough breathing room for a sub-50% drop next weekend. Wonder is doing fantastic. A near-$30 million OW and an A+ CinemaScore right before Thanksgiving/Christmas should help it leg its way to $100 million+ DOM. It's nice to see a PG-rated, live-action family comedy or drama succeeding. They don't make enough of them anymore and I hope Paddington 2 also reaches $75 million+ DOM come January/February. Thor 3 held okay, but with JL possibly missing $90 million OW, it should have done closer to $23-24 million IMO. $20-21 million is what everyone predicted when a $130-170 million OW was expected. Still, it will handily surpass the ticket sales of Thor 1 & 2 and come close to SM:H DOM. Murder on the Orient Express did fine. It should be able to reach $85-95 million DOM with the Thanksgiving boost, adult dramas not dropping as much in the post-Thanksgiving frame and the 'free' weekend before SW8 where pretty much any somewhat well-received holdover should drop 30% or less. Daddy's Home 2 should be fine. With the Christmas theme, I think it'll display longevity and make its way steadily to $90-100 million DOM. The Star did well. $9 million on a low budget for animation is fine, especially since it should get at least a 4x. Bad Moms Christmas is holding well. $75-80 million DOM is solid for a comedy sequel, especially given the performance of Neighbors 2, Horrible Bosses 2, etc. Lady Bird should keep building momentum. It might be one of those films that steadily makes $2-4 million every weekend from December on, resulting in $60-75 million DOM. Overall, November 2017 looks to be fairly well-rounded with four examples of low to mid budget live-action films doing well.

Moved a revised predict below.

A Get Out Logan Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Spider-Man - Homecoming Captain Underpants - The First Epic Movie A- The Big Sick Thor - Ragnorak Wonder Woman B+ The Case for Christ The LEGO Batman Movie Split B Monster Trucks Cars 3 Despicable Me 3 A Dog's Purpose B- The Boss Baby C+ Going in Style C- Beauty & the Beast F Wish Upon

I'd make a November-December schedule like this:

Other than Boogie Nights and Jackie Brown, what 1997 films are on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu right now? I know Fifth Element, Gattaca, Lost World and Good Will Hunting have all been available via streaming in the past, but didn't see them listed recently.

Surprised Sony didn't go for a PG.

$13.5 million $36.1 million $36.5 million $20 million $107.1 million OW Predictions beyond OW $55 million ($191 million) - with FL rebounding next weekend, IT should be able to pull off a 45-50% drop. $31.5 million ($239 million) $18 million ($267 million) $10 million ($283 million) $5 million ($291 million) $3 million ($295 million) $1.5 million ($297 million) $301 million DOM

While everything has held great, it makes you wonder what would have happened if a studio had released some sort of major release last weekend. The Mummy, Valerian, Only the Brave, Geostorm and Blade Runner 2049 are all films that could have benefited in a barren August slate.

Annabelle - Creation should definitely finish above the first film in DOM total, even if it ends up at $35-36 million OW. $40 million/$110 million seems reasonable since it has minimal competition between now and September 8th. Hitman's Bodyguard may also end up surprising with a $35 million+ OW since, like Girls Trip, it may be a well-received comedy in a summer where all of them have been panned underperformers.
