Labor Day happened. Shang-Chi had 98% Audience on Rotten Tomatoes and literally nothing out on its second weekend and it still dropped 54%. The weekend dropping right when schools go back in session is not ideal when it comes to legs. Of course like Shang-Chi, it can still recover, even if it misses 100M, and it's still going to be profitable for Sony and Fuqua.

OMG so sad

Was expecting a mid-20s opening with that Nun preview. So to be honest, getting into the 30s for a movie in A. A declining franchise B. A mediocre sequel to a doo-do movie That seems pretty darn solid if you ask me. Good for that movie.

What’s The Wog Boy?

lmao no we ain't

Your faves could never.

So uh...how's y'all Friday been? Mine's been me watching old Disney/Touchstone from the 80s. It's pretty cool. Pretty nice. I like having the day off from work.

Well yeah. She's been in there since Hannah Montana: The Movie. It was the only way she could be in Cats, Amsterdam, etc.

It's almost 3:30 on the East Coast and we still don't have any RT Audience scores for either new release. We've started getting delays for them until Friday morning, but this feels like a first and pretty odd. Like there's no reason to hide it. Are the RT admins just asleep?

I hate people. Oh so very much.

Because I'm lazy and nobody corrected me until now lol

Exactly. These films are prime material for "background noise you put on while doing Sunday chores".

No offense, but a Greek Wedding 3 isn't that unbelievable. This was independently produced for starters, with Vardalos, Hanks, and Rita Wilson putting up most of the bread. And despite making significantly less, Greek Wedding 2 made 5 times its production budget, and likely sold well on digital and home video. So with these movies being so cheap to make and likely having solid upsides both theatrically and in the ancillary market...yeah, why wouldn't you make a third movie?

Worst part is that it'll probably be the biggest opening until Taylor comes around. At least we'll still be far ahead of last September I suppose?

Following Scream 6 gives us 24.2M. Evil Dead Rise gives us 30.4M.
