despite Cinesmascore being only from a limited number of theaters usually when it is below a B it indicates poor legs

 

 

 

also, what are the projected weekend numbers for these movies

 

 

Anchorman's increase is jaw dropping

Absolute proof the moviegoing audience is broken: WOLF OF WALL STREET got a terrible C Cinemascore, as per @ZeitchikLAT.

 

I thought at this point we didn't give a shit about Cinemascores.

Xmas Day Box Office contd: #3 Will Ferrell's 'Anchorman 2' $8M-$8.1M. Cume now $56M.

Two different sets of #s.......I think I will just wait for Rth to get some real estimates.

[Fancyarcher]

About expected for Wolf and Hobbit, a little low for Mitty based on sellouts, great for Ronin and Grudge Match

 

For a 225 million film that's pretty awful (maybe average).

Nikki's numbers are pretty much matching with Variety

The no over $15M on Christmas Day club won

True, but I meant compared to every expectation.

 

Cinemascore only measures five theaters, and I can tell from experience they don't go about it in the best way. If they got five older, more conservative crowds, of course Cinemascore will be low for Wolf. But reactions have been great among the target audiences.

No, I meant that it's only 5 theaters, so who cares? It's meaningless in terms of being a good statistical sample of the entire country.

WOWS/DOS- 9-9.5M

AM2- 8.1M, holy crap that's a massive jump(190%)

Mitty-7.5M

Ronin-6.3M

A giant flop is a giant flop, nothing you can say can change that.

Xmas Day Box Office contd: #6 '47 Ronin' $6.3M opening despite $200M budget. Disaster was expected. Universal already took the writedown

How well did Believe do?

 

You know Justin Bieber did a publicity stunt where he announced his retirement, as a clear excuse to get more people to see his movie. Well after seeing the friday number for Believe, I think he might consider retirement for real.

Ay, I'm not arguing that. I can give a fuck less about that movie.  I'm just saying I'm shocked it did over 4 mill

All numbers so far
