fences did +45% from thursday
I imagine that given the pretty terrible legs so far and the demos it targets it can behave somewhat similarly to it
but I cant see a path for a weekend beyond 15 million, probably 13 max
there is a massive difference between scrolling and turning it on for a second to check if the text (or vibration mode call) you just received is something important
the lives of others dont stop just because I stop checking my phone
I stopped going to the theater closest to me because phone signals didn't reach inside it (it was underground)
oprah will tell her fans to buy it on digital/physical and it'll be okay in the long run
but yes, since it likely isn't making more than 150 million its a flop/bomb
famous 10.2 million Christmas opening day to 58.2 million dom total
whats really interesting is that despite opening at 8 million less (5 million if you discount the "previews"), TCP will have a very similar 3rd day to Ali
cant ignore the supercharged opening day when discussing expectations for this
had it released on aquaman 2 day and done 25-30 million during the 4-day then I doubt anyone would have been disappointed
just dont see this having much commercial appeal outside of a few specific demos, and dont think any marketer can do much about that
you must be really excited about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(upcoming_film) then
considering that's its currently filming, wouldn't surprise if they were trying to position it as an October surprise
this is some really lazy math, but here it goes
that's roughly 60% of what A cinemascore oscar buzzed musical les miserables did on its 2nd day, if from now on it keeps on doing 60% of les miserables then it'll end in the 90s
sure there's no competition in January in February, and MLK day, but 100 seems missable
