  1. Richard Jewell was a gamble from the beginning. Films involving bombings or terrorism are a touchy subject anymore. Also the trailer wasn’t really that great, it had that wait for cable kinda vibe. Black Christmas not doing well. Well the 2006 remake wasn’t really successful either. Also too It seemed like it was Happy Death Day 3: Christmas Vacation Christmas horror is also another gamble, Krampus was a rare success, Silent Night Deadly Night flopped even with the controversy. And also Jack Frost(the mean one) and Santa’s Slay went to straight to video even. As for horror remakes, the original Black Christmas was never really an established IP or horror film like Halloween or Friday The 13th are today. Jumanji doing well isn’t a shock considering that on the low Deadline is saying now after matinees and what not, $46 million I figured would be a great target. It’s predecessor will be a tough match to compete with, but keep in mind it also had Christmas boost and was a Wednesday release as well. So domestically if this holds up low end this does $250 million domestic or so.
  2. Jumanji: $46 million Richard Jewell: $12 million Black Christmas: $10 million
  3. This is a weekend that November needs! Frozen 2 will hold up great! Interesting that Lionsgate will have more $100 million titles than Paramount this year! the marketing for Knives Out was amazing on social media! Queen & Slim maybe the holidays BlacKKKlansman(without the awards). But a solid final total maybe. Ford V. Ferrari will be over $100 million by Christmas is awesome! other than that good weekend and great holds! i be back for Frozen II’s Crazy results.
  4. Welcome to holiday Dead Zone.... Playmobil Movie: $1.5 million
  5. Knives Out: $19 million($27 million 5-day) Queen & Slim: $8 million($12 million 5-day)
  6. This is a different ballpark than its predecessor. The first film was a limited release first, and then five days later was a wide release to theaters. This is a nationwide release first thing. Frozen II is going to benefit definitely form this weekend, today will be just be pennies on what it will make in the long run probably. Solid for Neighborhood. It should do $17-$19 million maybe $20 million. That will be a solid counter programmer for adults and yes even some families. This should probably do a Saving Mr Banks type of run.
  7. Solid start for Ford V. Ferrari. That’s a great start for a non-sequel or franchise start for both Christian Bale and Matt Damon! Should play very well in the next few weeks and $100 million could easily happen. Charlie’s Angels floppage. What went wrong? Unappealing brand as I’ve said earlier this weekend. The Charlie’s Angels brand itself is dying off, and it’s been proven fact as the 2011 reboot tv show with Rachael Taylor who was kind of TV poison on her own right couldn’t even last one season! And also the 2000 film came out at a great time with both Drew Barrymore & Cameron Diaz at the top of their prime and it did very well in November of 2000! However, the sequel which came out five days before Terminator 3. Didn’t do as well. The sequel was hated by audiences and it fell flat fast. As for the reboot, the trailers looked decent but not enough to capture people into a cinema. So overall New Charlie’s Angels will be a flop for Sony, and should do $20-$25 million domestic. Joker making a $1 billion this weekend is fantastic! It’s great to see R rated films shine, more and more. And also films that look appealing shine even more as well. other releases, Terminator and Doctor Sleep dying very fast. Terminator: Dark Fate’s box office is looking quite similar to Alien Resurrection’s performance back in 1997. As for Doctor Sleep thats embarrassing that it won’t even reach the domestic total of The Shinning almost 40 years ago. Midway still crashing in its budget. But it could’ve played much worse. Playing with Fire and Last Christmas are the good holdovers. Playing With Fire may be Paramount’s first small profit since Dora three months ago. Last Christmas its hold is fine nothing special but fine, Universal should be satisfied with its domestic total in the long run. This is my half-assed two cents on the films thus far. Anyway off to another hiding spot until Friday night. later, Max Moser
  8. Because Terminator looked like shit you could see on the Syfy channel Dr. Sleep was too long for audiences and Stephen King brand has been always a tricky sell for the most part with a few exceptions Charlie’s Angels is a dead brand. The 2011 tv show was cancelled after a few epsisodes, and Full Throttle back in 2003 fudged its way to $100 million and did way less than its predecessor worldwide. Also the stars aren’t going to sell the film, Kristen Stewart isn’t a draw and I don’t think anyone is going to rush to see Elizabeth Banks as Bosley either.
  9. Studios wasting their time on big budget failures. Netflix overcoming theaters because Disney taking over theaters and theatrical studios are getting pussified little ass bitches
  10. Frozen II: $160 million Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood: $21 million
  11. Saw the movie True Lies for the first time last night very fun movie! Arnold is at his game with it, and Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold are hilarious. I loved the action scenes in it and some of the humor. the one-liners are funny too. The villains are interesting and Tia Carrere is one evil bitch. And also quick question for the guys am I the only who thought Jamie Lee Curtis looked hot in bra and panties dancing? grade: B+
  12. Ford V. Ferrari needs holding power not a blockbuster debut. Fox needs something to do well this year. Charlie’s Angels looked fun. But the reboot from the 2000’s had a more attractive lead cast, and was more marketed as an action comedy(similar to 21/22 Jump Street). Holdovers just look dead. I’m back to follow the weekend box office. I’ve stopped following Box Office Mojo, The Numbers are better now in my opinion. I”ll do a few more postings and then take another break I guess. Frozen II’s weekend needs to come sooner, this box office needs some resurrection.
  13. Ford Vs Ferrari needs holding power it’s budget is almost $100 million. If not I feel we are going to be back into the box office slate of 1997.
  14. Taron Egerton does a good job as Elton John, the costumes are fantastic, and I love the musical numbers. The music number scenes were well shot and were great when they were there. However, Rocketman is a stinker as a movie itself and biopic. The biopic story isn’t very interesting enough to keep in focus. Bryce Dallas Howard does a poor job as an Englishwoman, and isn’t a very interesting character as Elton’s mother. The rest of the actors outside of Taron, are not interesting and lack substance. The addiction angle wasn’t very interesting either, it felt as some filler. Overall the music in Rocketman and the music scenes are great. However the movie itself isn’t very good for a first viewing. grade: C
  15. Lowest in years. I’ve seen a total of seven films in the theater. Five of them were from 2019, and one was from 1980!
  16. Top: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Us Good: Child’s Play Shaft The Beach Bum Just ok: Long Shot Lackluster/ Mediocre: Rocketman worst: Pet Sematary Aladdin 3 From Hell
  17. A fun film but flawed. Matthew Mccoungahey having lots of fun as Moondog, and I loved the location of the film. The other cast members also did quite a good job, and I liked Jimmy Buffet and Snoop as well in the film. And damn Isla Fisher looked good 😋. overall I liked The Beach Bum this would be something I would watch again!Also along with Spring Breakers this was definitely one of Harmony Korine’s better films. grade: B
  18. Well November 2019 is horrible. I have a feeling Frozen 2 will probably be mega mega big now with every single film this month bombing. Midway will probably play better than I thought, congratulations it’s still a flop but not a mega flop like what I thought. Doctor Sleep, what the hell? I thought it would do profitable but I’ve always remembered Stephen King’s properties were always hit or miss at the box office. So it’s not a surprise but sad considering it looked good. Last Christmas will benefit with legs, opening weekend isn’t really a clear benefactor keep in mind guys. Love Actually didn’t have a massive weekend but it almost did $60 million 16 years ago for example. Playing With Fire, probably what Paramount will be doing now since Terminator and Gemini Man are their big misfires. This one will probably do so-so. For the rest of this year, I feel like we’re in 2011 all over again. Do I think streaming is an issue? Yes and no, yes because Netflix has appealing films that people are digging( Dolemite Is My Name for example) and some others. No because studios haven’t pulled anything major this year, so it’s the studios fault. Disney has been king this year, and no other studios have been able to top them this year. WB has been the closest to them this year. STX is a surprise studio this year, and Universal pulling out successes with their mid-range fare and two big blockbusters. How To Train Your Dragon 3 and Glass even did well for them. But should Secret Life Of Pets 2 be considered a flop? Eh I don’t know. Anyway I’m taking a break from this forum. I”ll be on here every once and a while to shoot some shit. So y”all take care! Sincerely, Max Moser
  19. Ford V Ferrari: $23 million Charlie’s Angels: $13 million Good Lie: $7 million
