Weekend Thread: Grimsby Bros leads the way with massive 3.1M, 10CL has decent 25.2M, Zootopia crumbles to $50M ;) P.31

[CJohn]

Grismby is gonna do around 5M OW. RIP SBC's career.

 

Solid number for 10CL.

[narniadis]

Yikes I went small on Grimsby but not small enough and I didn't go high enough on Cloverfield apparently cause that's a really good number.

[RandomCat]

Well, I overshot the new releases.

[Avatree]

The 5pm Allegiant showing at my cinema is 5.4% full. Bear in mind my cinema is situated next to a massive high school. #bombombomb

Nah....Sacha Baron Cohen will be fine.  He was good in the Madagascar-films, Les Miserables, Talladega Nights & Borat. He even did fine in The Dictator.

 

He'll be in "Alice Through the Looking Glass".

Sony's year so far:

 

The Fifth Wave: Profit of 25M or so

PPZ: Made 12.6M less than the budget, a loss of 40M is likely

Risen: Will end up with a small profit, probably 10M

Grimsby: Budget unknown

 

 

Sony's been absolutely miserable. Only 5 films have made over $100m since 2014, four of which being franchises.

Sasha Baron Cohen should not have dropped the Freddy Mercury biopic. His career needs a rejuvenation. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Wow, damn good surprise that is regarding 10CL. TBG on the other hand... Jesus Christ.

 

And speaking of Jesus Christ, TYM did solid, too.

[stripe]

So glad with this number. With possible stellar WOM 35M OW is doable.

100M grosser?

1.8M Thursday

13M Friday

13.3M Saturday

8M Sunday

36.1M Total

 

There are a lot of factors that could come into play here. I have a Sunday drop inbetween The Witch's (34%) and The Visit's (47%)

THAT TOTAL is MY EXACT DERBY PREDICTION FOR CLOVERFIELD!! 
 

Spoiler

Before i changed it to 34.65m

He still gets cast in supporting roles in big projects on a constant basis so he'll be fine. His career as a comedy star is definitely dead, though.

i've heard about how that project has changed over time and at this point, it realllly doesn't sound like the sort of thing that's gonna save a career.

JJ is a marketing genius. Nothing we didn't know already.

 

The interesting thing is how audiences will react to the bait and switch marketing considering the movie is good (according to critics anyway). Will they hate because it's not exactly a Cloverfield sequel or will they be pleasantly surprised? 

 

I hope it's the latter because I find the idea of vaguely connected franchise movies really interesting.

[La Binoche]

Hopefully audiences aren't turned off by 10CL being more psychological horror than monster movie horror. 

[Jonwo]

Grimsby was $40m. Sony only distributed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in the US so i imagine the loss was only minimal.

I think everyone is in on the fact that this really isn't a direct sequel to the 2008 movie at this point, so there shouldn't be that big of a problem.

89% audience score at RT, audiences dig it! 

[DAJK]

Before I hope for 12-13M+ today, I'm hoping for Deadline numbers around 9.5-10M. Still a huge win and high 20's would be certainly possible.

Go Cloverfield!

 

This is such an easy movie to root for: it's easy to root for John Goodman, for Mary Elizabeth Winstead (why is Hollywood sleeping on her while overrating mediocrity like JLaw?), for JJ and for the horror genre.
