Weekend Estimates: Bond 35.4M, Peanuts 24.2M, Coopers 8.4M, Martian 6.7M, 33 5.8M

Peanuts needs a full 100% Sat bump now just to drop 50% for the weekend. What happened? 

[AniNate]

It may be one of those cases where "word of mouth" doesn't matter much. My brother hates the strip and wasn't persuaded when I told him I really enjoyed the film.

[narniadis]

Peanuts is more Muppets than anything else? Dedicated fan base but not much growth? Only things I can assume. 

 

Other films are from meh to great with not a lot of depth again to the boxoffice. Makes for boring following.

Who the hell hates the Peanuts?? Anyways it's a disappointing 2nd weekend, TGD will destroy its late legs.

[seduh]

very bad dropfpr Peanuts, but it will have a great jump today, over 100% for sure

[DAJK]

Well, 160-170M is still great for Peanuts.

Peanuts benefited a lot from VD, compared to Bond. It jumped 76% on Tue and 155% on Wed. So I think it's normalizing a bit. But have to say was expecting bigger numbers from it considering so many folks love the comic strip.

If Bond finishes at around $34 million it's hard to see it missing $200 million. 

 

As someone just pointed out, it skews older so isn't as likely to take such a hit from MJ2.

Peanuts obviously had a large adult audience that rushed out to see the movie in its first weekend.

Such an odd thing to hate the strip. Why?

Well, we grew up with the more energetic, quirky sense of humor of Calvin and Hobbes and Foxtrot. Peanuts is pretty bland by comparison and he doesn't really care for the strip's pessimistic outlook

[FilmBuff]

These numbers.

What is going on in that gif?

[forg]

The Martian is just impressive!

Bridge of Spies also had good legs! I hope it still keeps a lot of theaters by Thanksgiving weekend and maybe expand again if it gets major award nominations

Decent for Coopers, it's a Christmas movie afterall so it can have good legs, we'll see

The 33 could have done better, even if years have passed since the incident,it's a great human interest story but I guess the poor reviews affected it somehow

I saw By The Sea and it's a dull movie, good move to just have it limited

There are people who *love* the strip? I mean, I like it well enough, but its usually pretty blah. Its like loving, I dunno, boiled beef. Its got a pretty tight range of potential outcomes and doesn't have much of a ceiling.

Christ, that kid is tough (edit - Or, more likely, really drunk). A bunch of those beer cans were full. Ow.

I don't love the strip, but I certainly don't hate it. I do, however, hate the TV shows.

What is wrong with you people?  The tv specials are part of the holidays till the end of time...

Snoopy (in whatever form) is one of the greatest animated characters of all time.
