Zoolander still below 20m after the 2nd Friday...despite having a 4-day ow. 2 disappointing.

 

If they didn't even bother inflating it by $200k so the can claim $20M by Friday, you know they've officially threw in the towels on this bomb.

[Chewy]

That said, bring on MACGRUBER 2

THE WITCH earned an estimated $3.2M on opening day Friday. #TheWitch

I like Garry Marshall. But everything he has put out since The Princess Diaries...oof. Georgia Rule is one of the few movies I can recall seeing that made me feel sick from its tone-deafness (it's a movie in which Lindsay seducing Dermot Mulroney by putting on his dead wife's perfume is meant to be a heartwarming moment. Yes, you read that correctly).

 

I avoid his stuff to continue liking him, although I did catch New Year's Eve on HBO 2-3 years ago and thought it was a hoot*.

Looks like my 7M prediction for The Witch is either spot on or too high,

When you wait that long, you need to produce something that was worth it. They apparently didn't and so this is the result.

MacGruber is kind of like a version of Deadpool that's actually clever

I wonder if the legs of TW will be so bad as the ones of Devil Inside  

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Well, not all comedy sequels comes with poor box office results.

 

The ones that were huge are:

 

Hangover 2 = $586M WW

Meet The Fockers = $516M WW

22 Jump Street = $331M WW

Pitch Perfect 2 = $287M WW

All this talk comparing shit comedies, thank goodness Midnight Run is on to remind me that great comedies do exist.

If they can't push it over 200M, it will end up being the first movie in history to end its run with a gross between 199-200M. Every other movie which has got this close has been pushed over the mark.
