I was really confused at first too.

As usual, not putting much stock in these numbers. I know Carrie will be frontloaded but if that 9.7 million number holds I think 25 is more around where it will land.

Call me crazy but if Carrie opens around 25-30 (where I think it will land) and Jackass: Bad Grandpa underperforms Gravity would have a shot at winning every weekend in October.

Going to be huge. Seeing it Sunday and if WOM is like what initial reports are I think this has a legitimate shot at 175-200.

'(Who was the bigger draw? Definitely Hugh… Jake can’t open an envelope.)' I don't want Nikki to go ever go away.

Me either. I think anything over 30 is a HUGE success.

Was the reasoning for releasing TMI on Wednesday to get (what they thought) were the last summer days before school? Seems like sticking with Friday they would have had a decent shot at taking the weekend which could have been used for at least SOME spin.

If World's End does 11.5 that's impressive considering the low theater count. 8-9 million or 11 million really doesn't matter. Just a terrible result domestically.

It says it will probably land no 2. so I'm guessing around 10?

Good for You're Next (the budget was tiny), good hold for Millers and decent for World's End. Really just terrible for TMI.

she's gone again!?

I'll be in the minority but I don't think it touches Perks. But I did think it was pretty fantastic. Teller and Woodley do deserve noms but that's not going to happen. But yea, Perks was a different level kind of movie for me. A nearly perfect film.

Smurfs isn't until next Wednesday.

I think that's a very solid result given the WOM from Origins.

Given the WOM for Origins I think this is a very good result.

The fact that it was only 10PM and later makes the number a bit more impressive.

Very solid start. The fact that it's still pushing 60+ after the fall out from Origins really proves the franchise's staying power.

Don't really understand all the hate this is getting. This is what a summer blockbuster should be. Easily the most fun I've had at the movies this year. A-.

I still am not sure if I actually liked the film or not but I enjoyed watching it. If that in any way makes sense. Drive is one of my all-time favorite movies and Gosling is probably my favorite actor. He can say more with a stony face that most actors can with 5 minutes of dialogue. I thought the cinematography was brilliant and some of the color schemes in the setting were hypnotic. The overall plot was pretty straight forward and I think the script is kind of the only thing in the film that brings it down. Like in Drive, Refn uses silence as a motif and I think it attests to his greatness for making these kind of art house films. But here, it can at time feel like the story is going nowhere. I didn't quite understand . Cliff Martinez score is still good but it in no way touches the Drive Soundtrack. Overall, I would recommend it just because it's such a different experience from almost anything else out there. I really need to see this again but I think if I had to give it a grade I would say B-/B.

Difficult, but not impossible. Which is why I think most people (like myself) erred on the side of caution. Glad to be wrong, it is the best horror release in quite some time and sends a message to a lot of the shit that gets put out from the genre.

While it was a strong possibility it would due to a great OW and strong WOM, horror movies very rarely manage 50% drops every weekend after opening so that kind of answers your own question. The Conjuring is the exception to the rule that comes along every 5 years or so.
