Weekend estimates: 15.90 M THE MARTIAN | 15.50 M GOOSEBUMPS | 11.37 M BOS | 10.83 M TLWH | 9.00 M HT II | 8.20 M PA: TGD | 7.27 M STEVE JOBS

The budget for Jobs is 30M and they spent a lot on marketing, this will probably be a loss for Uni unless it has insane weekend holds (and this is assuming the 9M forecast stays).

I think Uni was probably expecting a lot of nominations and some Oscars for Jobs. Guess that's what will make or break this project for them.

Steve Jobs flopped. But it should recover OS. 

What's the budget?

30M

[tonytr87]

Even if it grosses only 35 mil domestic, that's not a flop. 

[CoolioD1]

"If only they got fincher" can be our new "IF THEY HADN'T FIRED EDGAR WRIGHT..."

Depends how much it gets OS.  

[Jack Nevada]

I can't even enjoy all this floptastic hilarity cuz the new site design. 

[Joel M]

That Steve Jobs number is kind of shocking if it stays that low, I thought it will do close to 20M.

Variety preliminary estimates are similar to Deadline: http://variety.com/2015/film/news/box-office-last-witch-hunter-steve-jobs-rock-the-kasbah-jem-1201625271/.

Their takeaway: yes, it is possible to have too many films targeting adults out at once.

[Ethan Hunt]

Why the hell would Fincher want to make a Steve Jobs film... Kind of a been there done that for him I would think, and this is coming from someone who absolutely loves The Social Network to pieces

[Krissykins]

Jem bombing.

Last Witch Hunter bombing.

Steve Jobs bombing.

That other film bombing.

Only Paranormal Activity having a respectable showing PTA wise this weekend.

Sixth PARANORMAL ACTIVITY?

Including The Marked Ones.

[The Futurist]

So the biggest "adult" film not named The Martian is still Black Mass ?

Nothing is breaking out ...

 

[Lestranger]

It's still early. But if Jobs does only 9 mil, I'd blame it on the choice to go limited. A Steve Jobs movie can make money, but you gotta treat it like a mainstream flick as far as marketing goes. The cult of Apple would show up if they knew about it. 

This is the difference between Fincher and Boyle. Fincher gets big marketing campaigns. 

Not once did I see the trailer anywhere but at the Angelika (specialty) theater. 

Absolutely. They should of done a huge blast on a wide release. I feel like Jobs came out like a month ago, but it is just going wide now and the buzz has totally worn off. The limited release is quickly becomeing a dinosaur. Everest, The Walk, Sicario, Jobs all didn't take off on wide release despite strong early limited runs.

The advantage of coming out first in a crowded market. Everything else cannibalized each other.

Bridge of Spies will beat it with the legs it's having.

[Ozymandias]

Mark Watney back on top?  I'll take it.

[kayumanggi]

Yeah, BRIDGE OF SPIES is going to have leggy run.

[The Futurist]

Forgot Bridge of Spies but it s not doing amazing numbers either though ...
