I love horror/sci-fi and don't give it low numbers. I'm not sure thats true. Fans of the genre went to the film so that score will definitely not help it financially.
Deadline mentioned dads taking their kid to see it so half a family saw PR. ?
If Lionsgate on spent 25m of the 100m production cost do they get all the gross or the same portion of what they spent.
The Hollywood Reporter was predicting 13.5m for PR and $80+m for B&B.
Have to say the way Rth posts the info is creative. I'll won't figure it out but it's fun.
I thought PR would have a stronger Friday with that promo they were doing. Those tickets were for today. But it's running like expects so that's good for it too.
My nephews would love PR. No doubt. I can't help think that Lionsgate has been here before. It feels they are desperate for a new franchise. This feels like Divergent redux. If PR only make 250m WW why bother trying to make this a franchise?
Hitting the 500m mark.

I loved the original and wasn't entirely sure what to think of this version. That being said I can't remember the last time I sat in a theater and smiled so much. It's a really enjoyable flick. Im going to see it again this weekend.
