Weekend Estimates (pg8): Mockingjay 18.6M | Krampus 16M | Creed 15.54M | TGD 15.51M

[MovieMan89]

Wow. 15m is hardly a big opening, but certainly way better than I expected for Krampus. I wonder if the reviews helped? Pretty rare these days for mainstream horror to be fresh on RT.

 

Skeptical of that number though, since its late nights were lower than Crimson Peak, and as I recall that movie also had a situation in the early Friday reports where it was reported to do 8m for the day and actually ended up doing only 5m.

Oh shit... Its the weekend already

IGN gave Krampus s surprisingly high score. I think around 8.3/10.

Krampus was a ridiculously silly fun time at the movies. Audience was roaring throughout. Destine to be a camp classic for holiday seasons moving forward.

They can be tough on movies.

 

So it got my attention that Krampus scored so high.

Saw Spotlight, it was really good and the theater was absolutely full. Not sure how many screens its expanding to this weekend, but I was impressed at the turnout.

Cinemascore @ (B-) for Krampus.

 

I am very upset their is no score for The Letters.  It is about a huge worldwide figure.  One would expect this to make 500m domestic.

Could this place be any deader before Star Wars? lol.

[Krissykins]

Krampus was fun and beautifully shot. 

 

I can can see general audiences being turned off by the humour though, if they were expecting straight horror.

 

Horror comedies are always a tough sell.

Theatre was mostly dead tonight. Krampus did better than expected though, with the equivalent of a 7.2M OD.

[MovieMan89]

Geez, I really thought TGD would at least not drop anymore than 50%.  That would be a horrid hold off of such a poor opening. After a full two decades of undeniable successes, Pixar really might have their first unprofitable film with this one.  Really don't get it.

Reception doesn't appear to be much better than Cars 2, apparently. 

 

Worse of all, it'll probably lose more money than anything Dreamworks has ever made, and if it's overseas box office is anything to go by, it might be among the biggest bombs ever. 

 

I definitely think there's gonna be a lot of layoffs at Pixar in the next few months, and Pete Sohm will probably never get another opportunity to direct a film again. As a long-time Pixar fan, it sucks.

Pixar will be fine. Inside Out was huge and they've got sequels to Nemo, Cars, Toy Story, and The Incredibles coming up, plus Day of the Dead looks like a winner. The Good Dinosaur is a swoon, not a trend.

[kayumanggi]

That's good for KRAMPUS.

Unfortunately it could be a trend though if they don't deliver with all those sequels. Cars 2 and MU showed that Pixar fans are not really there for mediocre franchise continuations. Dory will have enough hype to open big, but I could see a poor multi if it's only on the MU level of quality. They need to ace it.
