have you seen mother! ?

I'm sure one of them was from Miles Teller

It would not be that bad of a per screen average reduction since it is expanding by 850%

Victoria and Abdul is looking to double its gross from last weekend and crack the top ten, making $2,184,408 with a per theater average of $2,984, likely the third best in the top ten. That would give it a total of 3,999,802. For Kingsman to hit 80,000,000 after Sunday, it need to fall 52.0% and make $8,135,575 with a per theater average of $2,332. For the middle school and beginning high school crowd, this is the options from the top 20 last weekend + new openers: My Little Pony (PG), Flatliners(PG-13), Mountain Between Us (PG-13), Battle of the Sexes (PG-13), The Stray (PG), Lego Ninjago (PG), Home Again (PG-13), Victoria and Abdul (PG-13), Til Death Do Us Part (PG-13), A Question of Faith (PG), Leap! (PG), Spider-Man: Homecoming (PG-13). With these choices, I see Flatliners holding respectably by making another 3.000.000 million this weekend. That would be a 54.4% drop, a $1,176 per theater average, and a 11,529,602 10-day total. I do not see Til Death Do Us Part or A Question of Faith completely collapsing. I see drops about 40 to 50%. That would give Til Death Do Part 0.825 million weekend, (-46.0%), 2.734 million total, and A Question of Faith 0.608 million weekend, (-40.7% drop), and 1.943 million total. Leap! could collapse over 50%. It is loosing over 50% of it theaters and I do not see it increasing per screen average with the direct competition from My Little Pony and The Stray + the Weinstein controversy, however, I see Wind River's pet theater average increasing 10% or more from last weekend. Spider-Man: Homecoming should surpass Guardians of the Galaxy for the #49 position all time in 7 days or less. It also looks to surpass Alice in Wonderland at #48 with 334.191, but #47 (Minions - 336.046) and #46 (Spider-Man 3 - 336.530) look to be too far right now. It will hit 305.000.000 million if it drops 42.5% this weekend to $9,721,522 with a per screen average of $2,697. Ninjago needs to drop 40.4% to get $6,936,337 ($1,921 PTA), and hit 44.000.000 million total. If it makes this number and follows Storks' legs from weekend #3 on out, it will add 19.00 million and make 63 total. 60 milion total should be fine, but 3x multiplier looks tough. Annabelle should eventually pass 102.00 million, but this is a few weeks away and it is in 188 theaters now. It will need a dollar theater bump to reach The Conjuring 2's total of 102,470,008. Dunkirk should pass 187.40 in 7 days or less and is on its way to passing Interstellar's 188,020,017 domestic cume. The Boss Baby is at $174,999,590 and Friend Request could fall up to 90% this weekend. Dunkirk made 38.8 million opening weekend when you subtract the flat number of 11.7 million from IMAX. If Blade Runner 2049 matches this, it would make 38.8 million. Then, if it adds half of the 11.7 million Dunkirk made from IMAX, the weekend would be 44.65 million. Ghost in the Shell made 3 million from IMAX. If Blade Runner doubles this, and the 6 million is added to Dunkirk's OW without the IMAX number, the weekend for Blade Runner 2049 would be 44.8 million.

I think Stronger got an A and Battle of the Sexes got A-, but were unreported.

Ghost in the Shell and Valerian each did about 10x previews. This sets up 40M. I'd say 10P + P = 44 million

^^^ Like Founder, Gold, Comedian, and Labor Day, even back in 1997 Reggie's Prayer makes a little special mention of a 1996 premiere. USA 17 September 1996 (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) (premiere) USA 24 January 1997 USA 10 October 1997 (TV premiere)

I see how if Princess Mononoke is to count for 1997, then so would Life is Beautiful. I have a feeling though that Life as Beautiful is going to suffer in the rankings though since it is associate with the 1999 Academy Awards. I have been looking at alot of different movies, and I truely feel Hard Eight should count towards 1997, and Cube should count towards 1998. Here are the IMDB release dates for the following. Hard Eight USA 20 January 1996 (Sundance Film Festival) France 18 May 1996 (Cannes Film Festival) France September 1996 (Deauville Film Festival) USA 28 February 1997 Cube Canada9 September 1997(Toronto International Film Festival) Greece12 September 1997(Athens Film Festival) Canada18 September 1997(Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival) USA16 January 1998(Sundance Film Festival) Germany19 February 1998(Berlin International Film Festival) Netherlands11 July 1998 UK17 August 1998(Edinburgh International Film Festival) USA11 September 1998(limited) The Butcher Boy Ireland 13 July 1997 (Galway Film Fleadh) Germany 14 February 1998 (Berlin International Film Festival) UK 20 February 1998 Ireland 20 February 1998 Germany 26 February 1998 USA 3 April 1998 (limited) Now, take a look at three movies that opened in 2017 but qualified for the 2016 Academy Awards. The Founder Australia 24 November 2016 USA 7 December 2016(Arclight Hollywood) USA 19 January 2017(limited) Gold Croatia29 December 2016 USA30 December 2016(limited) USA27 January 2017 The Comedian USA 11 November 2016 (AFI Fest) USA 9 December 2016 (limited) USA 15 January 2017 (Palm Springs International Film Festival) Canada 3 February 2017 (limited) USA 3 February 2017 and from the previous year Labor Day USA 27 December 2013 (Los Angeles, California) Kuwait 30 January 2014 Sweden 30 January 2014 (Göteborg International Film Festival) Canada 31 January 2014 USA 31 January 2014 Now, look at Princess Mononoke and Life as Beautiful to see what justifies their 1997 places. (= a real release in any country) Princess Mononoke Japan 12 July 1997 Portugal 26 July 1997 Taiwan 2 August 1997 Hong Kong 14 August 1997 Germany 12 February 1998 (Berlin International Film Festival) Canada 18 September 1999 (Toronto International Film Festival) USA 26 September 1999 (New York Film Festival) Life is Beautiful Italy 20 December 1997 France May 1998 (Cannes Film Festival) Canada 3 September 1998 (Montréal Film Festival) Greece 9 September 1998 (Athens Film Festival) Canada 12 September 1998 (Toronto International Film Festival) Canada 25 September 1998 (Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival) Belgium 14 October 1998 Switzerland 16 October 1998 (German speaking region) France 21 October 1998 USA 22 October 1998 (AFI Film Festival) USA 23 October 1998 (limited) I feel like this makes sense Now look at Split Split USA26 September 2016(Fantastic Fest) USA15 November 2016(AFI Fest) USA20 January 2017 See how Split is a 2017 film, yet was shown during 2016. The same thing should happen for Butcher Boy and Cube going to 1998, and Hard Eight going to 1997. Comedian, Gold, Founder, and Labor Day all show example of not only film festivals, but actual release dates. For Butcher Boy, Cube, and Hard Eight you only get film festivals just like Split. In regards to Life as Beautiful and Princess Mononoke, they opened in a country in 1997. You can decide foreign because as far as I know, these rules make Underworld: Blood Wars a 2016 film since that opened in alot of countries in 2016.

Cult of Chucky and Leatherface on demand. Jigsaw coming out soon. Amityville: Awakening seeing light. Jeepers Creepers 3 soon to be online for free. It is a good time to be a horror fan!

now I'll listen to reports that It is the #1 horror movie all time. Silly they never mentioned The Sixth Sense when It passed The Exorcist. Oh yeah, here is Jeepers Creepers 3 last week: $1,773,763 - 635 - $2,793 $1,773,763 and here is Jeepers Creepers 3 yesterday: $436,384 - 669 - $652 - $2,214,345

6 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 weeks!!!

saw Jackie Brown for the first time - loved it! saw Conspiracy Theory for the first time - mehh. Another one to fall below Batman and Robin for me. My goal is to discover enough films to boot Batman and Robin out of my top 25 (of 1997). It will not be easy. Spider-Man 3 was my #2 of 2007.

and Dawn of the Apes!!!

ugly Sunday drops by the look of it. I was hoping Sundays would start getting better in the near future. Anyways, I think the Sunday drops are as big as they are because of the big Saturday jumps. A ratio of Sunday / Friday probably looks the same as last week for most pictures.

There has been a mention that Pirates 5 overseas surpassed Pirates 4 overseas if the exchange rates were the same. Maybe this means it surpassed in ticket sales too?? I don't know. They are both such big numbers. Pirates 4 made 804.6 overseas. Pirates 5 made 621.6 overseas. Pirates 5 grossed 77.3% in dollar amount that Pirates 4 grosses overseas. But suppose this means that when exchange rates are the same that Pirates 5 overseas = Pirates 4 overseas. Then we look at Apes. Oh shit. Now I just saw the problem. They are in different years. But I am just going to put the numbers out there anyways. Dawn of the Apes 502.1 overseas and War of the Apes currently 334.7 overseas. Currently, it has made 2/3 of Dawn of the Apes overseas. Domestic it has made 70% of Dawn of the Apes. I guess the exchange rates crap will have to be revealed at a later date. (if they decide to reveal it)

Supposedly he got 26 million for American Made according to this source. I find that hard to believe. http://www.statisticbrain.com/tom-cruise-statistics/

Hey, Space Station narrated by Tom Cruise is still in play. Any idea how much he got for this and if he is still collecting money from it?? http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=spacestation3dimax.htm
