Weekend Estimates (pg44): Spectre 73 | Peanuts 45 | Martian 9.3 | Goosebumps 6.9 | Spies 6.09 | Important forum announcement in first post.

I saw peanuts last night. I just didn't like it. Never been a big fan of the comic sketch. I didn't like the story or the animation style. The animation was very jarring.

That's more like -25% for The Martian. Still impressive.

Since y'all love it so much and I really like Craig's Bond I'm giving Casino Royale a watch

[WrathOfHan]

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

You won't be disappointed.

Saw Spectre yesterday.  Enjoyed it, but wasn't thrilled (if that makes any sense).

 

While anything above $220 million or so domestic is par for a modern Bond film, it's not the best thing for the megabudget behemoth that Spectre turned out to be.

[DAJK]

Darn, maybe it's just me, but even it the numbers are good, I hate it when they come in below early estimates on Friday. I always find it a tad disappointing. But regardless, it's solid for both movies, without any major over performance.

Seeing Peanuts in a few. Debating whether to see SPECTRE later today or wait for discount night after I get off work

[kayumanggi]

SPECTRE earned an estimated $28.0M on opening day Friday. #Spectre #007 #JamesBond

Glad Spectre didn't fall below 28m

[Bernie86]

Expect a little more for SPECTRE. But its ok. Can't understand the negative US-Reviews

[Dementeleus]

So a mid-70s OW for SPECTRE, basically.

[kayumanggi]

7 of last 8 #Bond films opened #1 in NOV. Exception was TomorrowNeverDies, #2 in DEC 97 when it opened against Titanic.

It dropped 19%.  How is that not pretty incredible?

Because it's a well-reviewed, well-liked Best Picture contender in its 6th weekend - and 19% is the kind of hold those types of films tend to have. It's also after a weekend where Saturday fell on Halloween and muted increases. Not to mention it, Bridge of Spies and Goosebumps are the only other semi-major films to go see other than Spectre and Peanuts. 

 

19% would be incredible in its 2nd or 3rd weekend, but in an adult drama's 6th weekend, sub-25% is kind of expected if it has decent WOM. For example, Bridge of Spies should have a sub-25% drop next week, and The Martian should have another one, because The 33 is the only semi-major film next week. 

 

I will agree that sub-20% is excellent though, considering it lost IMAX theaters to Spectre.

 You should probably try out On Her Majesty's Secret Service

The Bond actor in it isn't my favourite one, but I think you might get to know a side of Bond that might surprise you

 

Goldeneye also has one sentence I really find matching, but that ones very spoilerish (found in wiki):

 

  Reveal hidden contents

In GoldenEye, Alec Trevelyan tells Bond, "I might as well ask you if all those vodka martinis ever silence the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for all the dead ones you failed to protect."

In GoldenEye M is btw the first time played by a woman (Dench) and I love 007 & 006's entry scene

 

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?

[Fullbuster]

What?? Peanuts already available???? What do you expect from it? Is it a good movie?
