This was probably TGS' last shot at a weekend in the top 3. So since it never happened, it should easily eclipse American Hustle ($150m) as the highest grosser never to hit the weekend top 3. Would love to see one more weekend for it over its OW next weekend. Would require no more than a 7.8% drop. Pretty hard, but certainly won't call it impossible for this movie, especially with Winchester being the only new release next weekend.

It's ironic, normally horror stands next to no chance at scoring a BP nom, and normally films released in Jan/Feb stand next to no chance at scoring a BP nom. And yet two of the only horror films ever nominated for BP were released in Feb (Lambs and Get Out).

Even as someone who never thought he had any acting talent, even I feel sorry for him looking at his IMDB page. I mean his most notable role outside of Twilight is uncredited Frat Boy Andy in Grown Ups 2. That's just sad. He got literally one shot from Hollywood with Abduction and failed miserably and that was game over.

POLL: Most Surprising BO run of 2017.
MovieMan89 replied to FantasticBeasts's topic in Box Office Discussion
If TGS hits 20x, then I'm pretty sure there is no wide release to do that since the 80's besides Titanic. If it goes over Titanic's 21x multi, then it's a multi we haven't seen since the 80's. -
POLL: Most Surprising BO run of 2017.

TGS is definitely the most surprising now. Everyone was calling for a huge bomb pre-release, and it even seemed like we were all right at first. No one could have ever predicted its run in the slightest. Most impressive is really hard to nail down. On one hand, TGS is going to end up with an absurd multi we haven't seen for a non-limited release since like the 80's, but on the other hand Jumanji is going to have a multi around half of TGS but with twice the gross. So both are kind of equally impressive. Then of course IT had admissions no horror film has come close to since 20 years ago. Though outside of that OW, its run isn't particularly impressive and Jumanji is going to fly past its total gross. So I'd go with either Jumanji or TGS. Both equally impressive in different ways. -
They have been smart in the sense to not really advertise this in any way as a sequel. All of the first film's audience will be far too old to want anything to do with this, and lol at the first even being capable of generating "nostalgia." So yeah, they're smart to basically hide its sequel status in the marketing.

It's gonna have to deliver on the WOM front now. A 2 and a half hour runtime will kill a movie like this if WOM is middling or poor. -

Saw Pads 2 with my little nephews and they showed the trailer, and when the movie was over they were obsessed with the big cardboard display of the poster in the lobby. Must have spent over 5 minutes studying it and looking at all the dogs, providing their commentary and opinions on each one, lol. Really gave me hope that this could have way more kid appeal than we may have initially thought. Kids love dogs.
