Atrocious expansion for Poor Things. Hopefully theaters don't drop it this weekend.

Mean Girls should lead with around 7M. The following weekend doesn't look much better. Argylle's marketing is atrocious. I can see it bombing with a 13-15M OW.

Next weekend the number 1 movie will gross like 7M. Depressing stuff.

I am eating good fucking crow.

Of course they did, with anciliary revenue, toys and other merchandise. If Hollywood worked the way many of you think, Hollywood wouldn't exist at all.

I understand the haters want to hate, but with a 205M budget and a 430-450M WW total Aquaman will eventually break even with ancilliary revenue. It was a massive dump job and clearly they were expecting far worse. It is the final movie in an abandoned franchise that nobody cares about. Honestly I think WB will see this one as a small win. Obviously that when it was greenlighted nobody expected such weak numbers but things changed a lot. This movie didn't even have a premiere event. It speaks mountains of what WB thinks of it. It is far from a bomb and not even a flop. If you want bombs 2023 gave you plenty. No need to attack this one. Don't bother quoting me with nonsense that this is a flop or that we can't trust official budgets. I won't even read it. What I said is fact. Anything else is crazy/hater talk.

Migration and Wonka are fucked. 100M and 200M are dead. Anyone But You seems like it is going to end with 80-90M. Impressive considering today's market. Solid ODs for Mean Girls and Beekeeper, even if unspectacular because of how big the share of them are previews.

Classic BOT. Wait until Saturday night when we discuss The Last Jedi.

What states is the snow storm affecting and how much do you guys think it will affect the box office? 10%?

Ferdinand faced Paddington tho. Migration faces nothing.

100M is dead for Migration if those numbers come true. Absolutely atrocious. It faces no competition. Wonka and the 200M isn't looking great either.

Seems solid for both openers. It really depends on how much comes from EA in each case. 30M+ for Mean Girls on the 3 days would be really nice but likely not happening anymore.

Tim Meadows and Tina Fey play a couple now which is nice.

I honestly thought this wasn't gonna be ready on time.

Sunday in America was tragic. Is football hurting everything because of how close we are to the Superbowl?

NEON is getting bought? By who?

I hope ABY isn't hit hard by Mean Girls and instead both can co-exist. Everything else seems more or less safe until the end of January with no direct competition coming up.

Pretty basic numbers but expected considering that there wasn't a M3GAN releasing this year.

I am on my phone but saw that nobody opened a weekend thread. Can someone post the source for the previews number?

Should have made the douchebag white.

People theorize the real author is Taylor Swift.

Me going to see this is dependent on reviews.

Wolf Man is totally getting replaced by FNAF2.
