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

Guys.....Do you feel excited when Spectre does actually hit $200M DOM?  You want it to get there, right?

 

And when it does.....does the celebration occur? Does anyone else want it to get there?

When Spectre hits 200M next week, a cat will shit some bricks to party out.

 

Seriously, that's a bigger story than whatever Allegiant does(n't).

I'll win 100 points in Box Office Casino, so yes.

Honestly, I don't see why Craig just doesn't push this over himself by buying out a weekend somewhere.  If 200m gets the studio more money from tv rights, I'm sure somewhere in his contract, he'll get more also.  He'd eventually get all that money back.

 

Lol, the studio execs could easily buy out enough movie tickets to push the total over 200 m.

 

But it's much cheaper just to add extra zeros to a spreadsheet.

if the final number ends at $200,000,007, then my life will be complete tbh

Sony will try anything they can to have Spectre at that $200 million mark. There was even a double feature at one of the dollar theatres near me that had a double feature with Spectre and Concussion. 

[Maxmoser3]

This March so far has been solid. I wonder if the actuals for this weekend will actually increase and the top 12 is above last year's? I would be happy. Anyway, I'm thinking for next weekend's film Allegiant will be a large drop from Insurgent's OW(34 million in comparison to 52 million) and probably do 90 million domestic with the help of overseas potentially. Miracles From Heaven I think can open around Heaven Is For Real but for now I'm thinking in the high teens (17-19 million 3-day) for it, I'm hoping for it to do north of 20 million 3-days and do at least 25-27 million 5-days and end its run over 70 million. Midnight Special could probably do around 1 million or so, but will probably disappear and make less than half of its $18 million budget.

I don't think dollar theaters count towards the total.

Um, yes they do?  It's money earned from a theater, why wouldn't it count?

Maybe Sony took money from Grimsby and gave it to Spectre.

The folks at Bleecker Street were giddy Sunday morning watching the results of their latest release, Eye In The Sky starring Helen Mirren. The title topped 2016 platform bows with a $23,410 per theater average in five New York and Los Angeles theaters. 

Eye In The Sky sailed on the Specialty Box Office with a robust launch. The feature grossed just over $117K in five New York and Los Angeles theaters, giving it a $23,410 PTA. The company said the results would have actually been higher, but sell-outs during high-traffic showings at key venues meant some were turned away. “We’re very excited, particularly for [opening a film] this strong going into our second year,” said Bleecker Street’s Jack Foley Sunday. “The talent’s [core audience] is driving the film, but the business coming out of [New York’s] Union Square and [L.A.’s] Arclight were very strong. The film is picking up the younger audience. When you see 10% of the business coming after 8 PM, it’s really a great thing. Playing to the core is great, but going wider from our demo suggests great growth.”

Foley said that some houses saw a 60% rise from Friday to Saturday, though the rise at the Landmark was minimal. The title had an overall 54% rise Friday to Saturday. Lincoln Square in New York went from a $6,900 Friday gross to $11K Saturday while the Arclight had $6K Friday and $8,400 Saturday.

Bleecker Street will expand Eye In The Sky to 35 theaters in the coming week, adding 15 major markets. “We’re staying with that plan because it’s the right thing to do,” said Foley. “We have all the right core houses which will do well for the film next weekend. Our challenge, like this weekend, will be not having enough seats.”
