I just saw Spider-Verse, and I got the Snowball trailer there. It's not up online though (guess poor timing with the Kevin Hart controversy?), but it's definitely the weakest of the three trailers so far. They also don't mention who the next character will be.

The actual chart got an update too. WEEKEND B.O. FOR DEC. 14-16 THUMB RANK FILM DIS. SCREENS (CHG) FRI (% DY) 3-DAY (-%) TOTAL WK 1 …Spider-Verse Sony 3,813 $12.6M $37.2M $37.2M 1 2 The Mule WB/Bron 2,588 $5.8M $17.8M $17.8M 1 3 The Grinch Uni/Ill 3,759 (-82) $2.7M (-17%) $12.4M (-17%) $240.1M 6 4 Ralph Breaks… Dis 3,575 (-220) $2.1M (-40%) $9.6M (-41%) $154.5M 4 5 Mortal Engines Uni/MRC 3,103 $2.8M $7.7M $7.7M 1 6 Creed II MGM/NL 3,107 (-645) $1.5M (-48%) $5.2M (-47%) $104.7M 4 7 Bohemian Rhapsody Fox/NR/GK 2,213 (-740) $1.1M (-32%) $4.3M (-30%) $180.6M 7 8 Fantastic Beasts 2 WB 2,606 (-845) $1M (-43%) $3.9M (-43%) $151.9M 5 9 Instant Family Par 2,860 (-566) $1M (-35%) $3.8M (-33%) $60.3M 5 10 The Favourite FSL 439 (+348) $836K (+78%) $2.7M (+85%) $6.8M 4 11 Green Book Uni/Part/DW 1,215 (+34) $777K (-30%) $2.7M (-31%) $24.6M 5 12 Once…Deadpool Fox 1,566 $744,5K $2.3M $3.6M 1 MILES RISES 🙏

Deadline updated https://deadline.com/2018/12/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-mortal-engines-clint-eastwood-the-mule-weekend-box-office-1202520137/

Seeing Spider-Verse tomorrow, but I'll probably sneak a Roma watch when I get back home.

Trash.

From Deadline By up to date, I'm assuming this is not a projection, and this should go up further. Hopefully it joins Favourite and garners a $100K PTA this weekend.

Maybe Aquaman's success will turn things around for underwater movies. I'm sure Nickelodeon's already planning on making a live-action Bubble Guppies movie.

Joel Cohen wrote Cheaper by the Dozen and Garfield without his brother.

@That One Guy @CJohn You guys still doing this bet, or...?

Last-minute contender?

Why not?

Bit surprised at how low What Men Want is according to BOP. I think it has really good potential for a solid gross.

That would be a preview to OD ratio of about 4.86x. As a comparison, Ralph had 4.83x.

By the way mods, think it's time to push this to the main thread.

@WrathOfHan I just realized I should have posted this picture, since...well you know.

Anyways, next weeks' runtimes w/out credits and attachments: Aquaman: 2:15. Attachments unknown (likely Godzilla and Shazam) Bumblebee: 1:48. Wonder Park is attached. Mary Poppins: 2:04. Dumbo and Lion King are attached. Second Act: 1:40. The Best of Enemies and Uglydolls are attached Welcome to Marwen: 1:48. Glass, On the Basis of Sex, and Downton Abbey are attached.

For comparison's sake, Ralph Breaks the Internet had $3.8M for its previews, while The Grinch had $2.2M. This will be more frontloaded than those movies, but this should put 40M on the table, no?
