  1. So we're at that depressing point where under $200M for the OW is almost an inevitability.
  2. Wait! Hold up! So the scandal was overblown?? Well I'll be. People aren't in the mood for a movie that depicts a white man in a sympathetic light (which is actually the whole point of that incident; the truth wasn't good enough for people, they wanted a story where RJ was actually the perp).
  3. He was likely giving true Friday estimates. I'd be beyond shocked if 13-15 was the combined Friday estimate!
  4. Yeah, it's looking like it. It may very well be almost as frontloaded as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Still not counting $50M out though. We'll have to see if word of mouth carries it to a really strong Saturday.
  5. No, admittedly I haven't. But I've read interviews with the director and writer and they actually make the agenda pretty clear as day. Plus, you can tell from the trailers. @Blaze Heatnix also pretty much summed it up.
  6. Guilty as charged. No matter how many years us box office enthusiasts have behind us, there's always more to learn.
  7. If Jumanji follows Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse... Friday: $17.0M ($4.7M previews + $12.3M true Friday) Saturday:$17.5M Sunday: $13M Total: $47.5M This could very well have a better multi than ItSV though so there's a very good chance at over $50M for the weekend.
  8. And I'm not defending that. I'm glad Bond, among many things in Hollywood, is moving forward. It's all about the execution, not the intention.
  9. Not that I condone it at all, but it's probably because a lot of the female empowerment we're seeing in movies and what not comes at the expense of men. It's like, you can't show an empowered female without making males look useless or villainous or whatever. The vitriol that goes into it is so blatantly obvious and, quite frankly, lame.
  10. Have no idea what kind of multi this is in for. I want to say around 12x so this should hit close to $48M, however something is also telling me that it'll cross $50M on opening weekend no matter what. Either way, in the general vicinity of $50M is probably what we should expect.
  11. BRUTAL! Not surprised though. Not only was this yet another remake we didn't need, but it's supposedly a remake with an agenda. Couple that with the horrid 230K previews, and it appears not a lot of people had time for this.
  12. 77% on RT after 116 reviews so far. Not too bad, all things considered. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/richard_jewell
  13. Super Bowl weekend? Perfect! I'll watch this on Friday, probably see The Rhythm Section on Saturday, then the big game on Sunday.
  14. A Krampus multi (25.6) gets Black Christmas to $5.89M. Even if the multi is still a little better than that, the opening isn't coming close to $10M.
  15. I'm glad that all in all this seems to be recovering from the little scares it had before now - both critically and commercially. Looks like this will do plenty alright in terms of reviews and the OW should be right around expectations. Presales really jumped this week to paint a much better picture.
  16. Sitting at 57% on RT after 7 reviews: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/black_christmas_2019
  17. Yeah it's looking like this will be more of an audience film at Christmas time than an awards player. Which is totally fine. So many people are going to love this. I myself will be seeing it with the girlfriend and her family on Saturday the 28th.
  18. Looks like theatre counts for Christmas Day are getting announced well ahead of time.
  19. Good news! $5M previews could lead to a $60M OW, which was more along the lines of what I was always anticipating for a sequel to a huge crowd pleaser.
