Eric the Clown

Looks like Professor Kevin Sorbo’s dream finally came true.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/counts/chart/?yr=2018&wk=14&p=.htm Only coming out in 32 theaters. And the discrimination of the bear community still exists.

2019's March and April both look super solid, so I guess it evens out.

Gotta advertise somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dang, the OASIS even has the Anna Kendrick/Jeremy Jordan movie? This movie really does have everything.

Next weeks' runtimes w/out credits and trailer attachments: Blockers: 1:34. Truth or Dare and Night School. Chappaquiddick: 1:40. Attachments unknown (I assume Replicas?) Isle of Dogs: 1:35. Attachments unknown (I assume Can You Ever Forgive Me, and maybe Deadpool 2, or another Searchlight film? Maybe Super Troopers 2?) The Miracle Season: 1:30. It says there's a trailer attached, but it doesn't seem to specify. Just some random code. A Quiet Place hasn't updated.

Enjoy some of the gems I found while scrolling through his history.

Pocahontas probably has my favorite Disney soundtrack. Arguably not a single dull or annoying Menken composition. Shame that the actual movie is trash af.

It's a sign.

Update before RPO Previews: Ready Player One (3-Day) 216 2394 7.85% Ready Player One (4-Day) 417 3248 10.90% Acrimony 474 1148 41.29% I don't have the time to do comps, because I have a meeting in a half hour, RPO's Thursday premiere complicates a lot of things and I had a long, busy, stressful day, so I don't really have the energy. But, I can still give some quick notes: -RPO is super frontloaded (Wed 110 tickets, Thurs 91, Fri 117, Sat 66, Sun 33). -Someone mentioned that because it was premiering on Thursday, many people might not be aware that it comes out that day. Well judging by the distribution, that doesn't seem to be the case. Of course, this could just be due to fanboys, and maybe walkups will happen for those unaware of the Thursday date? Maybe...yeah, probably not. -Before y'all go "ZOMG ACRIMONY GON BREAKOUT", black-led films at this theater severely overperform. If the box office followed my theater, Proud Mary would have been #1, and Wrinkle in Time would have made around $10-20M more than it actually did. Although with RPO being in the bigger theaters and having double the showtimes...yeah, it's a tad concerning that Tyler Perry has sold more than Steven Spielberg. -Acrimony's sold about 70 more tickets than Proud Mary, so at the very least, somewhere in the teens should happen for that film.

Our local Cameron crazies are very pleased by this reaction.

Do I dare @ trifle?

The "Producers of Arrival" thing really confuses me. I understand the Stranger Things plug, as they're both teen-targeted media with genre bents to them, so there's potential crossover audience...but why Arrival?

Yeah, not really feeling this one.
