Looks like Sony is gonna let Spectre die.... -52% from Thursday to Friday and only a 5k gross

They'll just go back to their roots of making genre pics. They still have success on the specialty front.

I doubt that. 

 

But a return to SAW is inevitable.

This is the end of the 200M dream.

Will be very interesting to see how Allegiant does, no 3D, social media is trailing previous installments and they have stopped even trying to appeal outside the base.

 

 

Is it still split into two installments, or has Lionsgate wisend up and kept it as one movie?

They are releasing Peter Berg's oil spoil movie with Wahlberg that opens in September (surprised that's not a Universal release) among other movies so I imagine yes.

So they are releasing movies nobody cares about? I see.

With some luck, it does Scorch Trials numbers. Personally I am thinking it sinks lower than that (a run similar to the one of Ender's Game is what I am expecting right now).

I doubt that. If they let this one in theaters for 2 or 3 more weekends....i really don't see why they would close this early.

 

I mean, it's not like Sony are being stupid to just leave it there before the finish line.

 

Some other movies from last year has been in theaters in over 20 weeks.

Superb for Deadpool...low 40s drop.

Will be at ~285m with a 31 weekend.

Should add 2.5x (75-80m) more for sure right? That'll give it 360-365m.

3x more will give 380m.

Wat cragy numberz...

Insurgent made a profit and it did 300M WW. Nothing dead about that.

 

Allegiant is fucked, tho.

How many bombs have they had in the last 2-3 years? Their movies don't open over the 12-13M mark unless they belong to Hunger Games or Divergent. They also abandoned the horror genre. 

 

I don't get this, when we go to Box Office, we can see that the budget for Insurgent including marketing is $155m, by the logical, isn't it supposed to have made $310m WW to give some profits? Yeah, it received some cents from VOD, but it is far from being a success

This is unprecedented. First movie ever to finish between 199-200M in history.

I knew Spectre didn't have enough gas in the tank.

 

It's already on DVD and the daily gross was moving at a snail's pace.

 

Increasing theaters was never going to work.

They could stop tracking Spectre now and then BOM will quietly update it a month or two later with a new total just over $200m. I've seen them do it with a lot of Universal releases, although those just stop tracking while in 100+ theaters. 

 

Or they could wait until Grimsby and then fudge it just enough.

Yup, it was bound to happen, Sony thought it wouldn't need a push, and when they realized it would need it, it was too late.

[Jake Gittes]

Good seeing The Witch with a possible sub-50% weekend drop. It won't overtake Ex Machina among A24 releases, but a $21-23m finish would be a very good result.

[Maxmoser3]

Lionsgate has had success with John Wick, and Now You See Me. Latest Tyler Perry films have proven that no one cares and I don't understand why they want to release a Halloween Madea film. 

[Maxmoser3]

Lionsgate has another film coming out but this will probably not do that great. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vKCFkFaIwU0

Another flop lol.

Fox probably won't be in a rut about Eddie The Eagle flopping.

That is the most likely scenario. SPECTRE increases by 100k randomly on Grimsby OW to cross the 200M mark. It is within a margin of error for Sony to push it over.
