So The Rhythm Section will break Hoot‘s 14 year long record? Who would’ve thought that? Paramount is definitely a dead studio now! Sonic and A Quiet Place 2 may be their saviors.

Harley Quinn: $57 million

Preview numbers as expected were awful as expected. Gretel & Hansel looked like dump material. The Rhythm Section was better off as Netflix material like Blake’s hubby 6th Underground was a few months back. Overall this has been so far from Jan. 1-31 2020 has been a rollercoaster in general. In the news: we’ve had the death of Kobe Bryant. Corona Virus, and crazy political debates. Also on a movie/box office level thus far has been so far excellent! Who would’ve thought Bad Boys For Life would be our first $150 million grosser of the year? Next month I have a feeling we will have a few more breakouts, Harley Quinn could perform like what Ant-Man was to Guardians Of The Galaxy. Sonic won’t be the hit of Pikachu was last year, but if reviews come in positive play then it’s best target would be Kingsman 1’s opening. Fantasy Island reminds me of a PG-13 Cabin In The Woods. Which would be a solid target for Fantasy. The Invisible Man is an honorable mention to help out in February. However, it will make most of it’s cash in March.

The Rhythm Section: $7 million Gretel & Hansel: $5 million

Concept will bring people in. But I smell A Cure For Wellness 2020. Truth Or Dare numbers is all it needs

It’s all really what the audience want to see. The Invisible Man could be an appealing horror film considering how lackluster this year has been. But the biggest flaw of these past few horror films not doing squat are due to studios dumping them to theaters.

Yep PG-13 will hurt this. Vin Diesel can’t sell his own films. This looks like Hardcore Henry made for tweens. I also get Gemini Man vibes from this one too. Funny enough this was one of the trailers I saw on the channel HDNet movies right after the movie Showgirls.

Not a surprise for these preview numbers. The Gentlemen looked appealing but after Bad Boys breakout, and majority of the stars won’t bring in major box office for a minor film. The Turning reminded me a lot of The Prdogy from last year. Marketing for both looked dry. a TV Star from Netflix is one of the main draws Finn Wolfard(Stranger Things) and Taylor Schilling(Orange Is The New Black), which some Netflix star won’t sell your horror movie. A reason for this underperformance(If it’s considered one), Universal had no marketing for it whatsoever until Last Minute that’s a bad sign. Universal is more aiming towards The Invisible Man as their next big movie. For horror films anything can happen, Fantasy Island could breakout or die as well. and weirdly enough I didn’t see a trailer for The Turning until last night on the HDNet Movie channel right when the movie Showgirls ended(which is actually not a bad movie).

Still need to catch up from last year’s movies. But Shaft was actually lots of fun, it was hated by critics and bombed. The humor worked perfectly and loved the action scenes. The main three actors did a good job.

Rocketman. Yes great music! Taron does a good performance as Elton John. As a biopic this was boring as shit. The rest of the actors are bland and I’ve seen much better musicals and music biopics.

Very good numbers! Bad Boys should do around $150-$155 million domestic total or so in the states. It’s debut is the best for Will Smith in a leading role since Hancock/I Am Legend! This is also one of the top debuts for a buddy movie behind Rush Hour 2. 1917 is still holding up strong! The Academy Awards are coming very soon! This should play well even after the Oscars are done. I still have a feeling this will do between $135-$140 million total. Doolittle bombed but it’s debut could’ve been much worse. It’s debut is ahead of Delayed Universal’s 4-day winter government holiday bombs such as The Great Wall. But that’s a different entity to track in its own right. This was doomed from the start in all honesty, so in the states I’m gonna say it will sneak past $60 million. Jumanji holding up strong, considering the last one was a mega surprise juggernaut. $300 million domestic wouldn’t be hard to surpass. Star Wars coming close to $500 million, Rogue One may be an easy target. Award contender Little Women muscling up some legs, and should make over $100 million domestic. Just Mercy is looking debatable, a total close to $30 million wouldn’t be surprising. Knives Out is a crazy success story, there hasn’t been an original film hanging on like this on the top 10 for a long time. $155 million or even $160 million wouldn’t be a surprise. Hell it would be awesome if it came close to Casino Royale’s & Quauntum Of Solace’s domestic totals! Like A Boss collapsed on it’s second weekend. Another causality for the once mega studio Paramount. And no this won’t end the careers of Rose Byrne or Tiffany Haddish, this film was dumped without any good marketing or anything to sell the film to audiences. So this will be fired under the $30 million mark easily. Frozen II holding up strong for a family sequel! Hopefully $500 million isn’t out of the question. If not then Disney and everyone else should be happy with its turnout. Miscellaneous box office: if anyone cares Uncut Gems outgrossed Blended this weekend. So it’s now outgrossed two of the many Sandler films within the past 10 years, and it’s outgrossed A24 horror film Hereditary. Parasite could have a shot at outgrossing Neon’s I, Tonya. Also 2020 is so far off to a great start. This weekend looks to be Bad Boys For Life with $25 million 2nd weekend. The new releases are dead. The Turning and The Gentlemen will probably both do anywhere from $8-$11 million a piece. The Gentlemen looks appealing but it looks like a Kingsman rip-off, and the breakout of Bad Boys For Life will turn away audiences. The Turning I have no clue about the film.

No one saw this coming period! It’s great to see a January release(non-expansion) pull in over $50 million in 3-days! This should easily outgross Paul Blart Mall Cop’s domestic total from 11 years ago to be the top grossing January domestic title.

What were yesterday’s numbers?

I agree with this statement 100%

The Turning: $11 million The Gentlemen: $8 million

Actors aren’t draws we have been saying this for four years! A lot of us have been on here when Adam Sandler has stinkers like Blended and Pixels then having success with his Hotel Transylvania films. Or Robert Downey Jr with The Judge and now Doolittle, why Doolittle or The Judge underperformed is due to bland marketing and not everyone wants to pay to see Tony Stark in everything. The big success anymore with audiences anymore is the marketing, branding, and appealing concepts. That’s why 2019 was terrible in movie scheduling. Like for example with 2019, 1st quarter just had small to minor breakouts such as Us and The Upside. Even Escape Room was a small breakout! Glass did well considering it’s a horror sequel and a moderate budget. 2019’s 2nd quarter was actually kinda boring. April only relied on Comic Book movies and small success with The Curse Of La Llorna. May just had so much on Disney, and definitely a big breakout with John Wick 3! Pikachu was also a success for a video game adaptation and even a buddy movie. June was Death, Toy Story 4 was the only big movie that month. Secret Life Of Pets 2 dipped from its predecessor by over $200 million! Yesterday was a hit without major stars. 3rd quarter: July focused once again all on Superheroes and Disney. Crawl, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood were all successful outsiders. August either way would have had to rely on Hobbs & Shaw, Good Boys and Scary Stories were the major breakouts but nothing over $100 million. September proved to be a bright spot as IT 2 did well but dropped from its predecessor. Hustlers was finally a massive breakout! Downton Abbey even came close to $100 million! 4th Quarter: October was solid! Joker broke out! Addams Family did solid for a mid-range family animated movie. Maleficent 2 could’ve bombed like Alice Through The Looking Glass for example and did well for a Disney live-action sequel. Zombieland Double Tao did successful for a 10-year dormant sequel. November was awful! Playing With Fire, Queen & Slim, Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, and Last Christmas and it’s overseas turnout were successful small films. Frozen II was massive as expected. The surprises were only Ford Vs. Ferrari as it could’ve flopped and the surprising legs of Knives Out with 007 being the lead and it’s pointing to be Daniel Craig’s biggest hit outside of the bond films. December was all focused on sequels like Star Wars and Jumanji. Little Women & Uncut Gems were the only other hits(not including the January expansions). 2020 so far isn’t time to judge yet to be a record breaking year. But studios are so far smarter than what they were at this point last year.

The Grudge will probably lose a lot of screens this weekend

The second one and the first film time gap. the sequel had insane marketing! it was even advertised on the Super Bowl 37 game!

I remembered Darkness run more. This one I don’t remember the marketing for This one but the summer of 2009 was insanely crazy! How many people remembered Terminator Salvation was projected to be one of the biggest films of the summer?

Well it’s been seven years now almost, now let’s it’s 2003 and 2004 ha!

Thats massively great for Bad Boys! I remembered thinking this was going to be another Xander Cage back in the summer of 2019. Also the delay issues had me worried and the first trailer wasn’t very good either. However last minute, Sony amped up the marketing with a solid trailer and TV spots on YouTube and Football games was a big helping! Doolittle yeah it was doomed from the start. Bad Boys was delayed but is looking to do solid results this weekend! But Doolittle had unappealing trailers and spots, the marketing and posters had Robert Downey Jr looked tired and the movie just looked like something kids would be bored with. Thankfully Universal had 1917 last week. And their 2020 calendar thus far looks more solid than last year for sure.

I liked the Michael Bay movies a lot! Haven’t seen them in a while would like to rewatch them soon since I haven’t seen them since my teens. One of Michael Bay’s better movies in my opinion. this I will say the first trailer to do this sucked. But now the advertising for this bumped it up big time! I’m excited to seeing this! I hope it does well at the box office.

also I have a feeling that Cats will win worst picture for the razzies

1917’s debut being almost identical to Lone Survivor’s debut is amazing! And 1917 didn’t have a big name headlining it like Survivor did! Overall with awards season coming and since it will more likely win Best Cinematography. This should hold up excellent, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this outgrossed American Beauty’s unadjusted domestic total. everything else, solid holds for Jumanji and Little Women! Uncut Gems had a harder drop but it should become Sandler’s highest grossing R-rated film unadjusted. New releases looked dry, Like A Boss and Underwater smelled delayed dumpage from the start. Boss was originally slated to be a summer 2019 film, and its debut is more modest than a dud.but may not break-even with P&A costs. Underwater is where it should’ve been by Fox. Fox should be happy with their only major $100 million 2019 hit Ford V. Ferrari was nominated Best Picture. But this year isn’t looks to be a great for Fox again. Thankfully their sub partner Disney will be more be in success starting in March. Anyway Underwater will drop off faster than the speed of light. Just Mercy’s expansión could’ve been a lot worse. WB has had some bad expansion starts like Ben Affleck’s Live By Night for example. It’s debut is a few million less than Selma five years ago. But Just Mercy should get some clemency with MLK weekend Coming up as commercials on ESPN advertise it as “the film to see on MLK weekend”
