Official Weekend Estimates: Goosebumps - 23.5M; The Martian - 21.5M; Bridge of Spies - 15.4M; Crimson Peak - 12.9M (Page 1)

My games aren't off to a great start...

[Noctis]

I finally saw The Martian yesterday. It's a decent film with a few great scenes...thought it would be better.

[zackzack]

It's not THAT bad for the Martian... To drop around 40% in the face of 3 new openers doing around $55.m of new business is fine. And I imagine it'll inch up from these estimates.

 

Bridge of Spies & Crimson Peak took away some of the Martian's heat.

I bet younger audience is turned off by the slow burn pace of The Martian

and turned to the silliness of Goosebumps. It's never easy ride for Matt.

 

Next week is another trio of openers. Rock the Kasbah is getting 2000

screens? Wow.

[The Futurist]

So what will be the "adult" movies breakouts of the season ?

 

I consider a breakout around 70-80m by the way, stop obsessing with the 100m  mark people, it s bad for your skin.

Big breakout is around 120-130m + ...

 

Steve Jobs ?

Joy ?

Revenant ?

Spotlight ?

Truth ?

Carol ?

Suffragette ?

Room ?

Hateful Eight ?

The Big Short ?

Danish Gurl ?

 

Place your bets for I have no clue.

 

Even though a movie like Room is so small that a small bo take would make it a success, it s all relative to the size of the movie.

People are estimating $200M for Revenant?

Didn't hear hype that big. Innaritu is a guy to watch

after Birdman, so I am there opening night.

But $200M?

[Ryan Reynolds]

that doesn't sound like a good number for Crimson with a reasonably known cast and respected director for a scary movie in October

[The Futurist]

For some reason, there is something in/about Del Toro s films that prevent him to break out with GA.

 

Weird.

Joy has the release date. I can see it landing in the Silver Linings / Hustle ballpark of $130m or so.

Much more of a long shot bit I'm hearing amazing things about Room. I don't think it can hit $100m but it should break out somewhat.

too geeky

[CJohn]

RIP Crimson Peak.

 

Pan dropping 61% is the highlight of the weekend, tho  

[Jake Gittes]

Looks like almost all of its audience decided to watch Beasts of No Nation at home. I wonder if Netflix will continue with these theatrical releases because from a business perspective it seems pretty pointless so far.

 

I bet younger audience is turned off by the slow burn pace of The Martian

 

Please don't tell me we've gotten to the point where The freaking Martian has a "slow burn pace". 

[Noctis]

Interstellar is far superior to The Martian.

I think it's just to qualify it for awards but in future it wouldn't surprise me if they wanna keep doing that they'll just throw it on a a couple screens in la and not even bother tracking the box office.

The truth, ladies and gentleman.

[Jessie]

Interstellar is a completely different film to the Martian

[ddddeeee]

Interstellar is a completely different film to the Martian

The inferior type.

The infection is spreading. We can't let it break containment or the whole forum is lost.

Another win for Sony and SPA, I do wonder if Goosebumps was insurance in case HT2 didn't do well.
