The Devil Inside was an epic run. A third of its gross on OD, 2/3 on OW. 

That's what happens when there are widespread reports and even YouTube videos of audiences booing your movie off the screen at the end.

CJohn just spoiled the biggest season 6 shocker. Curse you CJohn!!! 

Blame Google. I didn't do it on purpose, I was just trying to write the name of the character correctly.

Kinda of crazy that a movie thats going to make $900 million is only going to be #1 for 3 weeks.

 

MJ2 was #1 for 4

Some stats, good or bad, can be misleading if taken blindly.

The movie had an amazing marketing campaign and ended up being a brutal piece of garbage. WOM was toxic.

Movie of century 

[filmlover]

Doesn't The Devil Inside end in the middle of an important scene and follows it with a description telling people to go to a website to find out more? LOL you can't blame the audience for feeling cheated like that.

Wow, that number for TFA is disappointing. May as well quit my job at the theatre, leave BOT forever, abandon my love for Star Wars, run away from home and live on the streets.

 

Exactly. That escalated quickly

Clever viral marketing targeting its core teen demo and the height of the supernatural horror craze. 

[Mockingjay Raphael]

The new masterpiece from God Bay is opening next weekend, what we're expecting? $35m?$40m?

Haven't seen MJ2 but have seen the 1st 3 HGs. This century is still short but the franchise is one of the better ones.

Early Weekend Analysis: #TheRevenant Unseats #StarWars with Strong Friday Expansion; #TheForceAwakens Eyes 4th... http://fb.me/MdvhZ9ii

 

Quote

Saturday Update: Launching into wide release yesterday was Fox's The Revenant, and early returns are excellent as it's the first movie to unseat Star Wars: The Force Awakens from first place on the daily chart. The strongly buzzed-about film from Oscar-winning Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu earned an estimated $14.4 million on Friday following an excellent $1.56 million two-week platform in four theaters. That's on par with 2014's Lone Survivor, which also pulled a $14.4 million opening day in wide release after a strong limited run over the holidays. Revenant did earn a bit more of its cash on Thursday night compared to that film ($2.3 million versus $1.5 million), so it's possible the weekend will be slightly more front-loaded for Revenant. That said, continuing awards buzz, raves for Leonardo DiCaprio's master performance, very positive word of mouth (87 percent on Flixster) and reviews (81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), and the big screen scope of the film are expected to drive it in the long run. Look for a weekend around $36.5 million (which should put it behind Star Wars for the overall frame) and healthy legs thereafter.

 

Disney reports that Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned another $10.76 million in second place on Friday, bringing its record-breaking North American total up to $781.14 million through 22 days of release. The blockbuster phenom was off around 68 percent from New Year's Day last Friday, continuing to follow the day-to-day pattern of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King a bit more closely (it dropped 65 percent from Friday, January 2 to January 9, 2004). On track to become the first film in history to topple the $800 million domestic benchmark sometime on Sunday, The Force Awakens is eyeing a fourth straight weekend first place finish with around $41 million......
