Director Derek Cianfrance's Light Between Oceans, an adult specialty drama starring Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander, is opening in 1,500 theaters — a relatively small footprint — after holding its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival Thursday night. Early projections show the adult drama earning roughly $5.2 million for four-day holiday weekend. (The filmmakers had hoped for high single digits.)

Morgan, a sci-fi horror thriller targeting younger consumers, may only earn $3 million-$4 million from 2,020 theaters. The good news: The movie cost $6 million to produce. Heading into the weekend, tracking had suggested $5 million-$6 million.

Looks like I made the right call on 4.5M for both new releases. My Derby, Casino, and CSG aren't fucked

Holy... that's pretty horrible.

Kate Mara flops again after Fant4stic!

Awesome.  This is the weekend I can do all those questionable things I've desired in the back of a dark theater.

As long as you clean up after yourself...

The only notable film that got a major expansion for this Labor Day Weekend is Finding Dory. Its theater count increased by 1730 to 2075.

Hahaha...kate mara...no wonder the director didnt want her in fant4stic. She is wayyyyyy less talented than her sister. 

But atleast she still has a career whereas the director..well...

Also, a lot of stuff that I saw in the trailers of Morgan remind me of quite a few scenes in fant4stic...won't be surprised if they reused some of the sets and props from that movie. Not a good debut for Luke Scott either critically or commercially. Better luck next time.

You could also say this weekend it will be much easier for the theatre usher to catch you doing those things.

Sausage Party weekend might have also been a good choice.

Yeashhhh. These openers lol. Waiting for some news on the holdhovers.

[MCKillswitch123]

Ah yes, the sweet smell of a theater being occupied by nothing but a teen who figured out nobody's going to any of those films this weekend and took the chance to take his horny girlfriend there for... studying purposes.

[narniadis]

Hmmm I knew the 9-10m 4 day predicts were over strong for Light but I did think my 6.5 was at least ok lol
