After the Steve Jobs debacle, I'm not sure how much stock I put in limited release numbers foreshadowing eventual box office but this seems solid but not spectacular for Spotlight. A weekend PTA in the $60,000 range.

[DAJK]

Competition will be light next weekend so I can see Spectre doing around $35M and Peanuts $28-30M. Not bad holds I guess.

Any OS update on Spectre?

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I hope peanuts has a big increase today.

Jesus, that's awful compared to what estimates had for Peanuts.

 

 

You won't be disappointed.

 

It's Ethan, he will hate it for some random reason.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Less than I thought for Peanuts but it will be fine. 40m+ OW is still very good. Pretty much what everyone expected from Spectre.

Perhaps I will check it out. I was thinking of maybe the Timothy Dalton bond films, because I really like the actor. are those ones any good?

 

To me his didn't felt like a Bond movie. Plus they do not explain certain behaviours, reasons for.... (IMHO)

The Dalton Bond movies are basically almost sequels to the Craig Bond movies. Bond has the same gritty edge and no nonsense attitude. It was the wrong fit for that era, 25 years too soon basically.

[grim22]

28M with 5.25 midnights means a 22.75M true Friday number. Looks like around a 72-74M weekend depending on the Saturday bump.

He will. He is Ethan. He will hate for some stupid reason.

Casino Royale opened second to Happy Feet IIRC so Gitesh's tweet is incorrect 

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Now in terms of James Bond films......what's gonna happen with the next Bond film,...Box-office wise??

 

Is the next one falling further below.....or coming back up with an increase?

Universal stopped tracking Jem depriving CJohn of the theater drop record. They must have read this forum and how much he was anticipating that strange and obscure record.

Redfirebird2008 predicted this on page one.

 

Looks like comparing Spectre's midnights against Rogue Nation's midnights to figure out the weekend was spot on.

Rogue Nation >>>> Spectre.

 

And I didn't even love Rogue Nation like some did.

Jesus Christ guys, have a little faith. I loved it. 

 

Not sure if I like it better than Skyfall but I'll put it above SPECTRE (which is still pretty awesome in my book)

 

Well... Guess I'll watch QoS just so I can say I've seen all the Craig Bonds

I read they pulled Jem from theaters altogether!

Poor Sony.

 

They need Bond way more than WB.

 

They will always have Hotel Transylvania franchise. After the Amy Pascal, email, and "The interview" scandal, Sony is fast becoming the sorriest studio in Hollywood with no real franchise in their hands. Jump Street & RoboCop? Surfs & Meatballs? Men in Black and Ghost Rider? Spider-Man with Marvel presiding over everything and probably lion share of the profit?

That is harsh. Rogue Nation feels familiar but that bike chase sequence is a topic generator.

 Essentially post-Shire, pre-Rivendell, though there are some moments there I like (as well as moments elsewhere I don't). 

It IS all about Tom Bombadil!
