The title of SCREAM 2022 that was on early drafts of the script (before the studio decided to pull a HALLOWEEN) was SCREAM FOREVER

All the best SCREAM sequels cost $24 million. Barring a collapse from current pre-sale numbers, I wonder if this is gonna do well enough this weekend for Paramount to announce a sequel on Tuesday.

It’s also trying to be a lot funnier than people probably expect. Some people like this, some really don’t.

I don’t want to post this on social media but most people I’ve talked to agree there’s not enough action and what’s there isn’t very interesting. The more negative folks also think the pacing isn’t great with long stretches that are a bit boring.

Tobey's good but he's the one who sort of has his life together, so he's by default the "least interesting." Tom has gone through some major emotional shit by the time they show up. Andrew is still dealing with Gwen's death, admits he went to a dark place after, hasn't been able to have another relationship since. So they just have the juicier dramatic material to work with. But yeah, you'll get a (relatively vague) update on Tobey's post-SM3 life.

1. INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE 2. SPIDER-MAN 2 3. SPIDER-MAN 4. NO WAY HOME 5. HOMECOMING 6. FAR FROM HOME 7. SPIDER-MAN 3 8. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 9. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN I haven't seen the other two Tom Holland movies in a long time though, so I don't totally trust their placement. I remember liking them well enough.

And yet films as big and small as THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS, MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES, ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE, LIGHTS OUT, and STAR TREK: BEYOND all managed sub-50% drops in the same stretch of weekends.

GB2016 didn’t fall less than 50% in a weekend until week 7. Even removing the toxic “No damn girls!!!” Ghostbros, that movie was not terribly well-liked. Certainly far less so than Bridesmaids, The Heat, and Spy.

In the event it performs well on the West Coast due to MTC2 indicators... $4.5M Previews $11.5M True Friday $15.5M Saturday (+35%) $10.3M Sunday (-33%) So around $40-42M weekend, that sound reasonable?

I've been so busy with other things that I haven't been able to properly eat crow - DUNE's post-PLF loss legs have been much better than I expected and I deserve any shame that comes my way!

I like the original GHOSTBUSTERS but it isn't exactly an important movie to me and I don't watch it more than once every 5-6 years. I thought AFTERLIFE was delightful and people complaining that it's overburdened with nostalgia are taking their own baggage in with them. My girlfriend barely even remembers the original film and she loved this.

Yeah, I edited it when I realized my math was wrong but your quote-tweet caught the original version. Curses!

Do we have any idea what DUNE made last Thursday? By my math, a 65% drop would be $5.4M. With the same 3.14 multiplier as last weekend, that would be a $1.7M Friday, which is only a 25% Friday increase. So barring absolute disaster, DUNE should fall less than 65%.
