    It's the lowest I've tracked in Santikos... but before a few weeks ago I rarely tracked anything small.  For my regionals it finished with 121 sold - I've got 25 movies lower than that (only three that reported previews).  Those three were Night House (260k with 93 sold), Dear Evan Hansen Q&A (200k from 76 sold) and She Said (160k from 68 sold).  

     

    Thanks.  Do you think this is accurate? 

     

    Early industry estimates for previews on Roadside Attractions’ Boy Kills World movie is around $500K. The Lionsgate’s sister label uber-action movie that was acquired out of TIFF Midnight is looking at a single digit opening. RT reviews are at 63% fresh, audiences are at 60%. PostTrak moviegoers were hard on the film at 3 stars, 66% positive and a 67% guy turnout. 

  2. Wait, Deadline is making it sound like 1.9M includes EA. What is the truth? 

     

    Amazon MGM Studios’ Challengers, starring Zendaya and directed by Luca Guadagnino, made $1.9M in previews, a figure $100K shy of what Universal’s Cocaine Bear did. The tennis sexy romcom is hoping to open to $15M for the weekend. 

    Lionsgate and Kingdom Story’s Unsung Hero made $1.67M in previews.

    It’s important to note that for both films not all their bread was made last night from previews, but includes early advance screening money.

    Yeah the movie definitely is not a crowd pleasure. The movie has a lot of lows, the anglophone reviews are in a total overrated territory (in europe they are way more tepid) but it's a very interesting and especially well directed movie. I wouldn't even say it's really erotic, as most Guadagnino movies is more sensual than real erotic (basically there isn'a true complete or real scene of people actually staying there naked to make sex). Of course he's very novelle vague on his gaze so you always feel his precence and the movie it's very homoerotic. 

     

    IMO the biggest problem of the film it's on the acting. Sorry but Zendaya is just an average at best actress. She absolutely doesn't have the range for a role like this, she only works in the initial part when she is supposed to be younger and naive and then for the 80% of her precense it's so one note, monotous, unable to give to the character the complexity should have. If you have a movie with a very "basic" story and the only interesting things about the story is what's stays under the surface and in the "not said" of the characters actors are the most important thing you have to choice, if you have people give the most superficial interpration of characters feelings in every scene the movie lose almost anything.

    But i understand the only reason people know about this film it's her and more than that, the film probably exists only because she produced it. 

     

    Josh O' Connor is usually a great actor he misses something too and goes on a very superificial mood in some of the scenes.

     

    The real stand out it's Mike Faist. Really, what an actor he's here. 

    One of the Guadagnino great talents it's really to make actors are not "desiderable" (at least for most people and in the most stereotyped way) the sexiest actors you can have in the span of 2 hours of a movie. 

     

    Well said and I agree about Zendaya. I said the same thing in the other thread. I buy her as a teen, less so as a wife and mom.

    Honestly if it does not I do not want to hear people saying they don't make good mainstream Hollywood movies anymore it's all CG fests that we are not interested in. You are full of shit people if a movie like this does not do well and you sit on your ass at home and wait for a CG fest you claim you are sick of.

     

    Maybe Fall Guy is good (I hope so anyway) but the trailer looks abhorrent and not like the savior of mainstream Hollywood. Maybe that's why pre-sales are soft?

  5. I keep reading that Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004) single-day runs are being extended due to popular demand. Is that true? And if so, are there Spider-Man numbers beyond its one-day take? Will there be for Spidey2?

    Civil War is an exception here, not only because it is very fan-driven, being an A24 Alex Garland picture, but also because of its highly polarizing and volatile nature. Under that context, that drop seems like a miracle.


    What's polarizing about it? It takes no political stance, it's the Top Gun Maverick of thrillers. 

    What's volatile about it? I just watched a man set himself on fire on Twitter, the real world is much horrifying than anything in that movie.

  7. Box Office Pro really screwed the pooch with that 20-25M prediction for Abigail. 😂

     

    Forecasting the Top 3 Movies at the Domestic Box Office
    April 19-21, 2024

    1. Abigail
    Universal Pictures | NEW
    Opening Weekend Range: $20 – $25M
    Showtime Marketshare (US): 17%

    Pros:

    • So far critics are relatively positive about the film, which is hovering around 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Folks in the horror community are praising the film’s humor and especially its grand guignol level of blood and gore, assuring that the genre audience will likely come out in spades for this one. 
    • When it comes to fright flicks, the genre is always the star. That said, the cast is stacked with horror heavyweights who also boast youth appeal, including Melissa Barrera (Scream franchise), Kathryn Newton (Freaky, Lisa Frankenstein), and Dan Stevens (The Guest, Vamps). The latter has extra heat right now from his leading man role in recent blockbuster Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. 
    • Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (aka Radio Silence) have an excellent track record after Ready or Not and the two most recent Scream movies. Like James Wan or Christopher Landon, they know how to deftly combine humor and scares with mass audience appeal.
