And Saw tanked.  Won't even make 2 mill based on these numbers.

There was a new Saw??

[The Futurist]

Nicole Kidman has one perfect bo track record, for the last ten years.

[forg]

Nice hold for Alexander, it's going to surpass Muppets Most Wanted and Planes 2, nice little hit for Disney

Nope, they're just re-releasing the first one for it's 10th anniversary.

First Saw movie is a classic but they have undermined its significance by making a million sequels. I am not surprised that it tanked.

Wow this weekend is piss poor, but I guess that's what happens when a movie like Nightcrawler is the biggest new release.

 

Next week can't come soon enough.

Exactly.

This studios are hilarious though. Releasing old movies hoping people will watch.

.25M better than last nights estimates

(I really want to have something to say, but there isn't much TO say about this weekend)

The SAW 10th ANNIVERSARY Re-issue earned an estimated $320K on Friday. ‪

 

 

[Wrath]

Wow, estimating a ~-10% hold for Alexander for the weekend?  Most impressive.

[filmlover]

Giving Saw a reissue was as silly as giving Forrest Gump an IMAX re-release. Movies that don't beg for a big screen re-visitation of any kind.

Ouch. Even I was thinking it would make more on Haloween! But a sub-500k Friday? Do you guys think that now studios are going to re-think all their re-releases? I mean, after this, Forrest Gump etc.

How much did it cost to re-release this?

Could it miss $1m? That's just atrocious.

Jake Gyllenhaal's ‘Nightcrawler’ Creeping Past ‘Ouija’ at Box Office

http://www.thewrap.com/jake-gyllenhaals-nightcrawler-creeping-past-ouija-at-box-office/

 

Thriller heads for $13 million Halloween weekend as Nicole Kidman-Colin Firth's “Before I Go to Sleep” and “Saw” re-release are DOA

 

“Ouija” was No. 1 at the Friday box office but “Nightcrawler,” featuring Jake Gyllenhaal as a creepy L.A. cameraman, is heading for the win at the Halloween weekend box office.

$3.2M opening day FRI for well-reviewed #Nightcrawler on #Halloween night. Wknd may reach $9-10M & about $3500 avg.

Well, some of them do work.  I think a ten year anniversary of Saw was a good idea but they got a bit too aggressive with it by going for 1800 theaters, imo.

Perhaps, but its not like theyre taking screens away from Avatar to show it. Given that its Halloween weekend, its hard to see what else would have been an obviously better call. They had to put *something* on the screens and the other options are all pretty underwhelming. It turned out to be a mistake but it was a worthwhile gamble.
