WEEKEND THREAD | B.O numbers Page 28: Final Divergent movie opens at $29m, Zoo: $38m

[department store basement]

Wow at The Bronze's per-theater average being $111.

 

For comparison, Jane Got A Gun's was $228 on its first day.

 

With all the talk of flops on this forum (not to mention this thread), this might be the biggest flop of the decade.

It's in its 2nd weekend in the US and theaters are contracted for 2 weeks, it will drop a ton next weekend.

Ah, didn't know it had secured a 2-week deal.

Literally every major release in the US has at least a 2 week deal.

 

Even if movies flop horribly they're still required to be played at least once per day. During Jane Got a Gun's second week my local theater played it once a day around 10am.

Doesn't help that Sony quietly released it and the ads look awful.

No it didn't. Harry Potter -> Twilight -> everything else is what happened.

I didn't even know it existed until two days ago.

 

At least I saw the trailer for Jane before Concussion.

Divergent/maze runner/5th Wave/ all clearly want to be The Hunger Games very badly all I'm saying

It's such a non Sony Classics movie I was shocked when they picked it up.  I think this was originally another Relativity release.  They must have been contracted to put it into 1,000 theaters because that wide of a release out of the gate is not their M.O.

Harry Potter is considered YA?

Overall a really solid weekend. March isn't doing too bad it would seem.

Yes. It's about a group of teenagers trying to overcome the Nasty Adults. Look in the dictionary, that is the definition of the genre.

[Dingdong123]

Why the hell is Deadline, BoxOffice and Box Office Mojo all predicting above 35 million for Zootopia with those Friday numbers?! i just don't seem to get it.

Curiously enough, The Identical didn't, I'm surprised it didn't lose more theaters:
