It had less to do with nature and more with a Director out of his usual element left to run amok. A budget ballooning from from $60m to $160m before tax incentives is crazy.

Where does everyone think TFA will end up?

Just behind “Ride Along 2” is Fox’s survivalist drama “The Revenant,” which pulled in $9 million from 3,559 locations on Friday, putting it on track for a four-day haul of $37 million.

Revenant with $9.3m is awesome.

 I'm glad Norm is underperforming because this sort of films cheapens animation with recycled ideas and terrible animation. 

 

I suspect Fox must be relieved that The Revenant is doing well, I suspect they were prepared to write it off. It still needs to do $400m WW to break even which I think is doable

So, next week we officially have the first bomb of year, with it's currently 20% score at Tomatoes, zero buzz and no stars, can we expect at least $15m for T5W?

It is having a solid OW here. Not sure about the other 11 countries where it is opening this weekend. I think one of them is Australia. That should be a good indicator for DOM OW next week.

Big Short down only 18% from last Friday even though it lost 30% of its theaters. Everyone should watch this film.

200-225 mill DOM could almost do it alone and let tv and stream take care of the rest...

But this should do 400-500 mill WW with a BP win
