Interesting weekend for the BO..
With a lack of anything new really coming out and again next week it had a pretty nice hold only dropping about 30% from last weekend
Its got a shot at 90 plus domestic now and had a good foreign hold last week upwards of 12-13 million.
Did it open someplace else new?
could finish 90/110 for 200 million now.

My daugther plays D&D every week her college friends.. Not one of that group knew about this movie. She loved it. She goes to lots of movies and never saw a trailer. If you are not finding the 20-30 demo with marketing then you are missing home some how..

good question.. But scream was a franchise in a market that tends to feed on itself too. Its like westerns have X amount of audience and they tend to find it and seldom does it break out more than that, What kind of audience does this have? the horror movies have the same thing. It doesnt even matter how good they are for much of what they make.
People complain about what studios dont take more chances and here is a clear reason why.. Only a subset of movie goers will go to things outside their norm.
I go to most everything if it looks like fun. many wont do that.
-
If i make the best movie of all time and no one knows about it how much money will it make? if they spent all this money on marketing where did it go? the movie only cost 75 million the movie studio.

I guess the question is did it under perform? not one person I know knew this was coming out. and one reason is because so few people go to movies, and so few movies advertise any more.
I went to 5-6 movies this yr never saw a trailer for this and its never been in a TV ad I saw. No one reads papers so no ads there any more..
the tracking was decent but that just means it underperformed to tracking not that it underperformed as a movie.. And tracking probably has the same issues these days as political polling does.
I go looking at schedules then go look to find what the movies i see coming are about, Does the casual fan do this ?
our local mall is dead so no people are wondering around seeing the flyers up either.
a movie that make 150-200+ million is only a flop to budget not to how well it was perceived. the way this was budgeted it wont really lose money it just wont be a big money maker.

I think the issue now is so many are happy to watch it staying home on movies that 10-20 yrs ago they would have gone to see and hoped they were made to watch.. Waiting for streaming isnt going to keep movies being made at a high scale.. the big streamers can only make so many.

Way undervalued movie.. This is why you go see things in theaters.. Took my college aged kid to see it and she cant wait to get her friends to go see it again and hopes it gets a sequel.
Fun movie and hopefully picks up a little word of mouth and gets to close to 200 million overall.

well its on pace for 80-85 in the US and over 100 overseas now with Japan still on deck. So it actually did fairly well in its attempt to set up to be a franchise. not that it will .
-
i saw some stories of hoping to make a franchise like John wick out of it. then they also said with its box office numbers it wont happen.. Of course john wick didnt really set the world on fire and its now got 4 movies.
its also gonna do more than atomic blonde
its hurt by some markets these days
AB had 10.5 from Aus/Russ/Jap/SKorea
This is gonna do better in Australia . do we even do Russia now?
Japan is the big unknown given the book is from their.
its doing way better in mex/col the 2 latin markets its opened in.
its opened better than AB in every market really so over seas it may be solid
it may end up here to be 60-70 million and over seas a bit better

this movie was fun.. Crowd in the theater loved it for a group skewing 55 and over.. Its a style of movie you love or you dont. Story was much better than expected, pretty complex. lots of fun banter. the couple CGI scenes probably would have cost as much as the whole movie to make fit better.. Might have been better to undersell that action.. But it was also trying to stay more true to the book I guess.

this is the problem with almost all video game movies.. You have a set number of fans and if you try to play to the game some people will come away saying it wasnt enough of something.. This movie really tried to find the line between a movie and the video game.. The set pieces were there because they belong there if you played the games.. The stunts were done in a way to pay tribute to the game. You could throw out some of the stuff and just make a movie but then why call it Uncharted.
its like Bond and the Martini lines. if you have never seen one its a throw away line..
It was really well done to be like the game in real life. I dont know how you would ever do the over the top stunts of a game in a movie. In the game you would die 10x doing the stunts until you go thru the section.. Cant do that in the movie so they can only take it so far.
I think most critics complain about movies because they are not what they want to see not because the movie fails.. Like they go want to see a comedy and its a murder mystery and then mark the movie low because there is not enough laughter..
Its a video game adaptation, therefore you have to expect some things will be video gameish and not real lifeish..

This was a lot of fun.. nice tie in to the originals. kids being the main theme was a nice twist and Rudd was excellent. hope they do another and sounds like they have a story idea.
why do these movies not do much over seas.. the original didnt either..

The gentlemen is the type of movie that is pretty solid, people will skip over it, but in the old day would have done a ton in rentals after people realized how much fun it was and told their friends.

Of the people I know the WOM for Star Wars is about 80% loved with 20% can live with it but hoped for more and most of my friends have not seen it yet.
-
Really wanted to see this, but of course its not playing anyplace close..
-
If it ends its been a good run. the last few months it has worked really well. Have seen most anything i wanted and very few outages.. Seeing 2-3 movies a month it has been a great deal while it lasted.. It has been almost a yr since i had any issues using it for finding movies to watch.
-
Dont know how they make money.. but its been rock solid for several months for me. 3 movies a month for $10 and then half price after that. there hasnt been a need to see more than 4-5 a month lately anyway

I know if i go to a movie not likely to by food because its so expensive.. if i go with the family we may buy a drink/popcorn to share.. since most of these tools really work best as a single user how much of a change in concession sails will they see? regal gives me some free food every so often and that does get me to buy something, but not more often if the food wasn't so over priced.. if a drink was $2 instead of $4 i might buy it every time instead of 1 in 10.. Same for popcorn, Look at what the Falcons did by pricing food at a decent level, food sales went crazy and so did profits on food..

and Why do people think this model will last any better than the moviepass one when you take advantage of it like this?

Was there no appeal or just no awareness in general.. Majority who saw it liked it, but many had no idea what to expect i guess and maybe the title turned some off?
It was also budgeted in a way that sometimes makes it easier to get a sequel.. Lets see how it does with streaming.
if there was such a spend then how come no one anything about it.. the only reason I even knew it existed is i tend to go looking for upcoming movies for actors I like some of what they do.
