The Favourite should have gone wider this week. It has a Black Swan vibe but of course gross would be lower as it is a period drama.

Friday 11:27PM 2nd update/writethru: The weekend box office is so slow that Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet and Universal/Ilumination’s The Grinch are now in a staring contest for first place with a little over $15M a piece. Ralph 2 has a bit of the edge over Grinch with a Friday take of $3.5M to $3.3M. The toon throw-down may even extend into Sunday since both Ralph 2 and Grinch could tie Saturday with $7.1M a piece.
Arghhh! My derby prediction for Schindler's List is 3 times of that projected number!!!!

I never get why Universal decided not to release Mortal Engines this weekend. It is an open field and no competitions. Even with mid teens opening, they still get the headlines of opening at No. 1.

Disney should have done double feature on CR and Nutcracker. Damned we got 2 films this year stuck at 99M.
-
It seems Disney is giving up on pushing Christopher Robin to 100M?

Mission Impossible 2 earned that much? ugh
Also have no idea what What Woman Want and The Perfect Storm is.
Now you make me feel so old. WWW is phenomenal in its day. Mel Gibson is Rom Com is hilarious. How the Perfect Storm made that loads of money is beyond me. Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney in their early prime.

Numbers come down to earth after super encouraging numbers on Wednesday. Well 2 more weeks with virtually no competition should help some legs before Christmas cannibalism kicks in again.

ASIB and Venom over Solo?
No major action films until Thanksgiving should keep Venom alive for a while.

I hope Lady Gaga could keep her legs up high against Queens next week and marching twrds 200M with grace. It's such a beautiful film.

Is ASIB over Gone Girl realistic? Or shall we expect the leg of CRA?

What is Gitesh thinking?
Anyway, great numbers for both. October is off to an exciting start for sure.
Gitesh seems very cautious about the opening of these two blockbusters. His prediction for Venom is in 40s and ASIB is in 30s. He might just to be on the safe side. Last year BR2049 was a disappointment.

First time ever for 2 films to open north of 50M on the same weekend coming?

My mind completely skipped on Poppins, but I do agree that Grinch could win November.
This month I'll just say Venom.
Venom is a solid choice, but my gut says ASIB.

September was pretty weak, October getting stacked
I agree. WB should have swapped release date of A Star Is Born and Smallfoot. More breathing for Star and First Man and for Smallfoot and House.

My money is on the Grinch for November and Mary Poppin for December.

A Simple Favour's leg makes me feel like watching Anna Kendrick feat. Blake Lively on the big screen when it hits theater here in next month.

There are chances that it would break out OS. Lady Gaga is a big celeb which have millions of followers. She may have reached her peak in musical career like 5 years ago but her name will definitely help sell tix OS.

Any idea why CR went down yesterday?

I still don't understand why Sony handle Searching release like this. I hope they know what they are doing and wish they have made right decision. The trailer works so well and classy in keeping the plot mysterious compared to outright junk like Slenderman.

And I absolutely don't buy the excuse that the reason is lack of familiarity with OT and PT. BS. Most SH movies leg way behind team up movies and yet audience that skipped some individual movies flocks to Avengers movies. AIW made over 1.3B OS alone even though average individual SH movie makes about 400M OS on average. New SW movies simply don't connect with emerging markets for whatever reason that isn't just mehness about OT/PT and sticking Asian and Latino actors into the cast doesn't fix the lack of appeal at all(quite the contrary, boxoffice went down).
IMHO sticking (American) Asian and Latino actors have far less impact to OS box office, except they are originally from emerging markets themselves. Diversity is not one of the appeals or the reason why audience in emerging markets would buy tickets.

I hope this is a start of historic run of CRA stateside. I would not be surprised if it increases next week over 3-day weekend. I for one never thought that CRA would have an outside chance to outgross Solo.

HELLBOY | April 12 2019 | David Harbour
in Box Office Discussion
Posted
The release date will suffocate Hellboy for sure. It's crazy to have 3 superheroes films opening in April. One week after Shazaam and two weeks before Endgame, this film would not have enough air. It will end up like Hellboy 2 which got squeezed by The Dark Knight in 2008. I guess they might be working on the new release date before releasing the first trailer.
