What makes HATEFUL EIGHT's -60% drop even worse is that it added 464 theaters this weekend. End of the line for QT's #8.

We need a fantastic MLK weekend hold and likely at least a nice re-expansion or re-release and 1b isn't dead. I hope Disney cares enough to try to get it there if it gets anywhere in the 970 area on its own. Still think my May 4th limited engagement (including IMAX) idea would do gangbusters.

And now imagine that you just typed that a movie made 170, and you wonder if the studio might try to push it over 200.

Your immedaite reaction would be that it's way too far away.

Fox has conceded the top spot to THE FORCE AWAKENS, as it looks to remain #1 for the 4th consecutive week. But it was close--$41M to $38M.

If they were going to do it they'd go for an off-period. Wouldn't want it taking away Captain America screens.

Alejandro Inarritu's THE REVENANT performed like an absolute beast in wide release, debuting with a spectacular $38M.

Gramercy/Focus’ The Forest also blew away its tracking projections in what looks to be a $13.1M opening in fourth place. Most horror films slide on Saturday, but this Natalie Dormer one did not with an estimated $5.3M on Saturday, +6% over Friday.

 

 

go figure, that's kind of unusual

Of course, but with the right angle and push it's not impossible in this case. If Avatar could gross another 11m after it looked like its interest had been completely exhausted, I would have to think a heavily marketed special 2 day event centered around Star Wars day and seeing the film one last time in theaters/IMAX could bring in huge sellouts and who knows how much. If IMAXs started selling out, it wouldn't take long for the gross on the 4th to start hitting the teens or higher. Of course, an even better way for it to get there would just be a crazy good hold next weekend over the Holiday. Let's see.

THE REVENANT took in an estimated $38.0M this weekend and has grossed $39.56M to date domestically. #TheRevenant

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE ROAD CHIP took in an estimated $5.50M this weekend and has grossed $75.61M to date domestically.

I hope The Revenant reaches the 100M.

 

Insane opening for The Forest. I don't care what anybody else says, that is crazy. It is gonna end up with 35M+ on a 10M budget and they basically spent 0 on marketing. And Sony covered part of that budget (or all of it) when they bought the international rights. 

[Damianport1]

38M for Revenant. Great result! Now how much for SW

It would be a limited engagement mainly centered on the 4th (SW day). It could play through the weekend too, but the IMAX screens in particular would only be that day or before CW took over.

Leonardo DiCaprio might be the last great poster boy for star power in Hollywood. Wrap up the Best Actor Oscar in a dead horse...it's over.

Pulling for a Mad Max upset in drama so we can finally put  this "Spotlight is the frontrunner" BS to rest.
