To address how sad that is, this show was nominated for an Emmy:

 

My nieces like this...not the best of its ilk by a long stretch. The kids are supposed to be quadruplets. It's a Nickelodeon show so there's probably not going to be a Very Special Episode where the parents get a phone call from the fertility clinic about a mix up at the lab 10 years back...

 

Isn't McCarthy replacing Julianne Moore in something?

I don't understand why they are projecting Pets to increase only by 30% on Saturday.  It's a kids film, it should go up by at least 40%.

[WrathOfHan]

Ghostbusters will win the weekend.

SLOP was a gimmick. A short at best. It needs to fall faster. 

 

Well, we can hate it as much as we want, but it's not going anywhere and it's going to make more than 300 million.  It's a massive success.

Ok, sounds good.

I think it'll finish above BVS but below Zootopia.

[RthDeadWov]

couple hrs ago had WYNGC 17-19, SLOP 14.5-16, similar to what DL has now

Maybe because of Kubo and Pete in August. Minions didn't have any August competition.

In the summer, most kids / family movies don't actually increase by 40% on weekends.

15 Million minus Previews.   Basically in raw numbers it's already become the biggest weekend in Ghostbusters History.  Sadly we all know in this day in age that doesn't tell the full story as tickets sold is way, way , WAY below the mark.  I would say all the bad press is the cause for "So-So" reboot numbers for "Ghostbusters" and the fact the last one came out almost 30 years and didn't exactly end the franchise on the highest note.    With that said I slightly am going to cut "Ghostbusters" some slack on these numbers.   It's clear competition it's having from family films is also hurting it.  The reviews aren't horrible but if you have to say, "He it's better than Ghostbusters II" to defend it then I don't think it's standing that much on it's own merits, IMO.  Also like "ID:R" before it, "Ghostbusters" isn't really getting that famous "Nostaliga" Bump.  If those numbers hold than it won't sell more tickets than "Ghostbusters II".  "Ghostbusters" was always out of reach.

I guess on the bright side the drop off in attendance won't be anywhere near as extreme as GB1 to GB2.

Was happy at first, but now I dont care what Pets does. Saw it two nights ago and was pretty disappointed. I dont personally think it deserves whats its getting.
