Another day, another reminder not to have any actress catfighting or stanning in this thread.

For everyone complaining about the low theater count for Into the Woods, it still managed an opening day average of over $6,000. Just goes to show that theater counts don't always signal how a movie will perform.

[Cmasterclay]

Into the Woods opening that close to Les Mis, which I know for a fact has a much, much, much larger built-in fanbase/rush factor, is incredibly impressive. And that's on a lower number of screens. With a much more kid friendly concept and generally better WOM likely incoming from non-theater fans, I certainly can see it legging its way past the 150 Les Mis did.

[La Binoche]

Angelina won a long time ago. Aniston fans can rejoice in the fact that she's going to get a PR Oscar nom for the poorly reviewed Cake. 

 

Thank God there's way too much goodwill for the amazing Julianne Moore and she'll keep her from winning. It's like between hair and tanning appointments, Aniston suddenly decided "I want to win an Oscar!" 

[grim22]

Great numbers all around, at least one good boxoffice weekend before 2014 wraps up. Hobbit will most likely win the weekend again, great jump for it yesterday. Kind of shocked at how much NATM3 jumped as well.

T minus 4 hours until I'm at the theater for Unbroken!!

 

We are reserving the tickets online due to massive sell outs

Moderation:

 

For the last time: stop with the stanning. I'm going to start deleting posts. You want to talk about Jolie, talk about UNBROKEN.

[grim22]

The last 2 times Christmas was on a Thursday, the new releases (apart from The Spirit) ended with a 9-10 multiplier from OD. If Unbroken and ITW follow that, they end with 140-157M by the end of their runs.

Is The Gambler flopping? I missed those numbers amongst all the stanning

[John Marston]

Big Eyes was the big loser. Only 1.4m opening day

Big Eyes was a hard sell but the film will be profitable as it only cost $10m to make. 

 

Marc Platt who is a producer of ITW and is a producer of Wicked mentioned that a movie is in development, I imagine Universal will probably be looking at Rob Marshall to direct given his success on ITW but the earliest I imagine it could be released is between 2017-20 but neither Universal or Platt is in a hurry to get it made as it's still making money worldwide.

I think it's doing ok. It was going towards 12-15 million for the weekend and the budget is at 25 so it should eek out a prophet

[DAJK]

I'm a little curious as to what ITW would have done with a theatre count of say 3100. Would it have kept relativly close to the same PTA and grossed 19M? Or shrunk the PTA and done somewhere in between (17M ish)?

[rockNrollaDIM]

When you have Angelina Jolie and the kind of publicity machine behind a Universal opener, box office tends to follow. But Selma = 100Xbetter

Hopefully you mean "eke out a profit".
