Amazing hold for Crazy Rich Asians the likes of which we rarely see anymore. The Meg's big opening and CRA have turned what looked like a boring August into one of the most exciting months of the year.

That is an excellent hold for Mission Impossible Fallout if that number holds

It was pretty noticeable especially at the start but I eventually got used to it and stopped noticing.

I love reading and really appreciate your weekly theater reports. May I ask out of curiosity where your theater is located? You've probably stated it before so sorry that I missed it.

I get what you are saying about the potential of the YA genre. A good comparison would be zombie movies where under this sub genre we now have funny ones (Zombieland) Romcoms (Warm Bodies) family dramas (Cargo, Maggie) blockbuster action (World War Z) and much more In theory, there is no reason the YA genre couldn't do the same. Harry Potter, Perks of being a wallflower, and Love Simon were great and got good reviews. Hunger Games got good reviews. I like the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants I thought the 5th Wave and The book thief were not that good I think they show the potential of YA films to tell diverse stories But most of them look either generic (Percy Jackson, Divergent, Maze Runner, the upcoming Mortal Engines) or pretty bad, Mortal Instruments, Beautiful Creatures, Twilight So you can't blame people for seeing the sub genre the way they do.

A big name villain is a great idea for this franchise.

The second trailer was great. The tone felt right. The dialogue seemed spot on. One small complaint was that Pooh and the gang didn't look that cute or appealing. And my excitement has gone down a bit since then. I still hope the movie is good but I am getting a little worried.

I used to hate fudging but seeing Black Panther at 699 week after week has me begging Disney to fudge. Good opening for Fallout. My gut tells me the Saturday bump will be a bit higher than expected. Hopefully its right.

The movie was great. Seeing Cruise actually doing the stunts really makes a difference. Easily the best in the series for me.

Sadly I also have the same feeling. I loved Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation so I really hope I am wrong and this does well.

Uncle Drew still at 56% with 34 reviews in. This movie being over 50% is the biggest summer surprise for me yet.

Welcome back. Nice of you to accept the crow.And I agree that a 68 million opening day and a 160 million opening weekend is amazing. I also think that there is a chance the final number for the opening day will be more than 70. Great opening

Lets get back on topic There will be lots of time to fight over John Carter next week when the numbers are available. I for one didn't expect the Lorax to open that high. Great opening. 2012's great box office run continues. How much do you think it will end up with. 150 is my guess.

Looks decent. I might catch on DVD if I have the time.
