 I hear matinees on Suicide Squad are down 93% and that doesn’t account for the $20.5M business the DC villain film did on Thursday.

 

Now, SS clearly had a pretty interesting first Friday (as seen by the tumble on Saturday), and I'm not sure how useful this is without comparing to other blockbusters. But still, this made me laugh.

@MrPink We haven't been waiting for football. We've been watching it all goddamn day. WHAT AN AWFUL SONG. Also sitting on an awesome John Williams theme you could be playing instead.

Often that total is a massive drop off from OD, but yeah it's funny. Repeat viewings must be really low.

so my contact at local theater said they were just instructed to make room for late shows of SP to keep with demand.  not sure how many it went out to within Regal, but we just added an 11:30 and midnight.

 

early evening selling out too quick.  

you know, this how jim cramer used to make money when he was a trader

he shorted millions in Gap because one of his employee's said his sister was upset because she was ordered by corporate to layoff people. The company did report a miss a couple of weeks later and tumbled.

we need to make money on this kind of intel.

HOW DARE YE

 

REMIXED JOAN JETT SONGS ARE MY JAM. Though admittedly, the Faith Hill version got the itch in my crotch going better.

Gonna mention before baumer scolds me that superhero second Fridays have almost always been overestimated lately...

Gods Coldplay could really write a Sunday night jam.

Not September. It's literally never happened before.

Though with how people are hyping Sully, maybe that will break through.

 

I think Mag 7 may have a shot if it breaks the September record by a good $5-7m and is well received by audiences. 

 

Sully probably will do less than $100m total

[Dementeleus]

Do we have a Friday number for SS or just this absurd projection?

Mid August-mid November is still pretty dead overall, I assume you meant $200m. What is doing that this year?

 

Magnificent Seven and Doctor Strange might.

How did people not expect a weak bump today after last Saturday? Why the $50m+ predicts seemed way too optimistic to me for SS.

Some publication just wanted to give a weekend projection that would fall in the 95% probability range.

Sully looks way too much like Flight to be interesting.

I had to look up the September record and I don't think that's happening.

It's Deadline, so the answer should be clear.

Is that a guess or is it tracking?

No Prisoners just wants to make everything a Wall Street analogy. I'm glad for your input.

Except Sully looks extraordinarily less interesting.
