It had the best hold of the Christmas holdovers. Should be at 90m after this weekend and probably 94-95m after next weekend. I don't see how it misses 100m unless it starts have really bad drops.

Assuming they both get Oscar noms, the BO runs should be quite healthy well into February. Theaters will be eager to drop these new MLK releases and keep the awards fare in theaters since that is what most people are willing to see in January. Although i think La La Land is ultimately getting several wins so it's legs should be better.

Wow Live By Night is doing horrible, below both Sleepless and Monster Trucks.

It could work. They would have to add more musical numbers, there weren't enough in the film.

They should have went full musical with this. The screenplay wasn't strong enough in this film to support it. Nitpicks: -They should have had Mia and Sebastian sing a few parts in "Another Day of Sun" it felt weird to not include the main characters in the intro song, instead just a random group of people. -I feel like Sebastian needed another big solo number to do with his jazz aspirations. -They should have put in another upbeat number in the place of that montage with Sebastian and Mia seeing the sights in Los Angeles. Them randomly dancing on the train seemed out of place without a musical number.

Why did Paramount dump this is January? They should have put it in July/August atleast it would have had a chance to make more with summer weekdays.

STX is usually smart with their budgets.

Patriot's Day not doing as well as i thought it would.

Yeah this movie grossing over 300m WW proves that Jlaw and Pratt are draws. Plenty of people i talked to said they were seeing it because of them. Twitter SJW are not the majority.

Live By Night will be a movie that Affleck forgets. First real stinker that he;s produced

Yup. It's sad that these new releases had no chance to breathe.

La la Land will also have the benefit of being a good date night movie for February. I also think 120m is a sure bet.

bomb. should have left it in august. OW-7m DOM-22m

Seems like you can only counter-program family and comedies against Star Wars.

My guesses January: Nothing February: 1) Fifty Shades Darker-115m 2) Lego Batman Movie-220m March: 3) Logan-190m 4) Kong: Skull Island-150m 5) Beauty and the Beast-460m 6) The Boss Baby- 120m April: 7) The Fate of the Furious-315m May: 8) GOTG 2-405m 9) Alien: Covenant-140m 10) Baywatch-120m 11) POTC 5-180m June: 12) Wonder Woman-230m 13) Captain Underpants-140m 14) The Mummy-160m 15) Cars 3-185m 16) Transformers 6- 200m 17) Despicable Me 3-330m 18) The House-140m July: 19) Spiderman: Homecoming-320m 20) War for the Planet of the Apes-180m 21) Dunkirk- 140m 22) The Dark Tower-130m August: Nothing. They really need to movie a big film here. Anabelle 2 and Emoji are the likeliest but i think both will fall short with 80-90m September: 23) Ninjago-125m October: 25) Blade Runner 2049-160m 26) Kingsman The golden circle-120m November: 26) A Bad Moms Christmas-130m 27) Thor: Ragnarock-220m 28) The Star-120m 28) Justice League-280m 29) Coco-170m December: 30) Star Wars: Episode VII-850m 31) Jumanji-150m 32) Pitch Perfect 3-140m

WB and Paramount have already spent big bucks on tv ads for Live By Night (39m) and Monster Trucks(38m) , seems like money down the drain to me. Top 5 this week: 1) Live By Night- 7.68m (39.2m total) 2) Monster Trucks-5.88m (38.2m total) 3) xxx: Return of Xander Cage- 5.72m (22.69m total) 4) Sleepless- 5.68m (15.85m total) 5) Patriot's Day-5.09m (27.7m total) http://variety.com/2017/film/news/live-by-night-tops-studios-tv-ad-spending-1201956016/

The holds will be great next weekend, i wouldnt be surprised if there are increases. The only appealing film opening next weekend seems to be Patriot's Day, i expect everything else to flop.

It probably is, trades just haven't announced updated WW totals for other films besides Rogue One yet.

I think BvS is a loser too, everyone expected this to be a billion dollar grosser. It's shitty legs were completely shocking. Expectations are now so low for every subsequent DC film until they find a winner.

It's for Marty, his passion project. I can't imagine another studio will let him make something like this again unless Leonardo Dicaprio is the lead though.

Well this will certainly be the lowest grossing Underworld film domestically, probably 30-35m but it's on it's way to 100m+ WW thanks to OS, so the studio will be satisfied.

Why Him looks like its going to outgross Assassin's Creed. A decent, if not spectacular performance for it thus far.

This just means better holds for everything MLK weekend.

It's not just black women minorities in general are finding more work on tv.

Great number for Hidden Figures
