Maybe they'll break a different record...

 

...the record for biggest OW with The Girl on the Train in October  

It was funny at first, but you're really running this joke to the ground.

Only half-joking .

 

I do legitimately think it'll make 180M+ total though.  Of course, that's probably just my crazy mind talking

If it manages $3m next weekend it'll probably be able to crawl there. Plus they can always fudge it with Mag7.

 

Or Inferno in October if Mag7 doesn't do the trick.

If the movie is good I can see it happening

Overall very solid holdovers on the 4-day weekend! Don't Breathe dropped 26% which is very good for a horror film, and should end its run north of $80 million domestic.  Suicide Squad finally passed $300 million this weekend, might take down a dive with IMAX screens this coming weekend with Sully coming out. But that's not a problem for it, a total around $320 million domestic seems right.                                Every other new release on the top 10 besides the new release(Light Between The Oceans), Sausage Party, and Mechanic:Ressurection all saw some nice increases on the 4-day portion. Sausage Party had a solid drop, and should make $100 million. Mechanic dropped 41% which isn't bad for a Statham film, but is still a mediocre performance and should make north of $20 million domestic. The Light Between The Oceans dropped to the the number 8 spot and should make over $10 million domestic.

Suicide Squad was already off most IMAX screens this weekend. Finding Dory and/or Star Trek Beyond got a second wind instead.

SP will at least make it to 97-98. I don't see Sony leaving it there.

 

All remaining weekends at 50% drop (except dollar bump):

2.6 (-50% from 3-day; -60% from 4-day) + 1.3 + 0.65 + 0.325 + 0.16 + 0.25 (dollar bump; +56%) + 0.125 = 5.4m

 

All remaining weekdays Tue onwards will bring around 2m.

 

89.65 + 5.4 + 2 = 97m

I think that is the minimum it will do as it is bound to have at least a couple of decent holds towards the end of the run. 

Even without Sony interfering I don't see below 97-98 really.

Near me they showed Pets/Star Trek. Guessing it was different everywhere.

[WrathOfHan]

SLOP and Trek is the common combo in Central Florida. One has all Trek and another is still SS.

Sausage Party can crawl to 100m if Sony really wants it to. It'll get close either way, what other R-rated comedy is out there? 

I don't think Masterminds is going to make much noise at the end of the month, Zach Galafianackis hasn't proven to be a comedy draw. 

 

 

[Emerald kikyou]

great hold for DB , SS crossing the 300 mark on Monday, 320M domestic 700M WW  is locked , Kubo ... it's getting better ... right ... right?

It(Masterminds) looks like a PG-13 version of a more sillier Pain & Gain. Zach Galifiankis is popular with Todd Phillips related films. Sausage Party should easily sneak past $100 million, there's a thing called second-run theaters which will be around in early October. It makes around $91-$92 million on the weekly. Does $3-$4 million for the weekend, that's between $94-$97 million domestic. That weekly gets it to $98-$99 million. $100 million should occur on September 18th the earliest.

What do I say, just read me eyes :

 

Most likely will fall short of Boxtrolls (51). Thinking 48m.

I feel for stop-motion.

Get Gibson and make Chicken Run 2 DW, it will be cheaper and a better risk than your TURBOs and what not.

Anyway the Fall is off to an alright start. But could the weekend after Labor-Day face the usual quiet September blues? I don't think so quite exactly. Sully should debut between $23-$25 million for the weekend. When The Bough Breaks does $20-$22 million. Holdover Don't Breathe does $8-$10 million. Wild Life does $4-$6 million. Dissapointment's Room debuts like that film Creature(anyone remember that?).
