So is hands of Stone with theater expansion

Weinstein has lost their touch.

They need another Good will hunting pulp fiction.

Fox...hahahahahaha

 

Here is a free advice, move Ass Creed to MLK or President's Day weekend otherwise it will get slaughtered in December.

[Mojoguy]

Don’t Breathe doing great!

Not really. It's easy to call what movies will get lost in the holiday shuffle and which ones will thrive. Remember last year when everyone called Point Break's bombing from miles away, and then it did?

 

Assassin's Creed and The Space Between Us look like the obvious losers in the bunch. Passengers and (especially, definitely) Sing will be the big options to see besides Star Wars. Why Him? could be a mini-Daddy's Home too.

 

You lost me at comparing Assassin's Creed to Point Break. There was nothing appealing about the latter. There's plenty to like in what we've seen so far for the former.

I can definitely get behind this movie. 

[DAJK]

I didn't hate Morgan; I thought it was a decently made, well acted snooze fest with some cool ideas. Although with that I totally see why audiences would completely reject it. I'd give it a 5.5/10.

 

Also, 24 hours after seeing Don't Breathe, I'm almost ready to say it's my all time favourite horror movie.

Meanwhile Hell or High Water is killing it in only 1300 theaters. 

Another indie breakout. I think it could challenge The Witch for the top grossing specialty release of the year.

[grim22]

Since the Halo movie was brought up earlier, has there been any news on the Spielberg produced Halo TV Show in the past year, or did it just get forgotten?

The P&A is what will hurt them

 

Quote

P&A on these low budget wide entries are in the $20M range, so don’t be fooled by Morgan‘s low production cost here. One rival marketing executive tells Deadline, “Fox should have gone VOD with this, but they probably didn’t want to irk the film’s producer, Ridley Scott.”

Has anyone found DORY numbers?

[Krissykins]

Awful weekend for the openers, Horrific for Morgan lol. 

 

Don't Breathe Friday to Friday drop is more than I was expecting. 

 

I think Deadline are being too generous with some of the multipliers for holdovers.

That would be 120% Fri bump for SS. GOTG was up 146% and BORN3 was up 160%.

I hope SS comes a bit higher at +130-140%, 2.3-2.4 for 10m+/13m+ weekend.

 

PD going ahead of KUBO this weekend. It's threatened to do that last weekend itself after being ahead on weekdays but KUBO got ahead over FSS.

PD is on track for 80. Not sure if KUBO will touch 50. A bit disappointing after the rave buzz.

Distributors are taking advantage of expanding some of their summer titles for a last hurrah, i.e. Sony’s Ghostbusters went back in 657 venues for 1,000-plus run ($1.18M four-day, $126.4M domestic). Disney’s Finding Nemo jumped 1,730 locations to 2,075 for an estimated $2.1M four-day and $482M stateside total. Atom Tickets partnered with Lionsgate to bring teen horror thriller Nerve back into 761 theaters total. Those using the Atoms app can buy Nerve tickets for $5. The Emma Roberts movie is looking at $732K over FSSM and a running cume of $37.7M.

Yeah, but where's Finding Dory?

 

You know this weekend is DEATH when it's 99.9% likely that the expansions of a western without much starpower and of movie out for 12 weekends now are probably going to outperform a new wide opener, if not two. Because, before the Inside Out comparisions rain down, Dory is a totally different beast from that. But we shall see.

 

At least the holdovers all have great holds. Suicide Squad's is just sad, though, because if the movie didn't drop so harshly on its first 3 rounds, it could've been near or at 400M DOM by now.

[a2k]

Why don't they open big movies on LD weekend? The first studio to do it will run away with it. There seem to be no big movies towards the end of summer and September.

LD weekend or just before LD (like DON'T BREATHE) seems great. Tentpoles releasing a weekend before LD will give two solid weekends.

For it to have 100m more right now would require much better legs than DEADPOOL.

320 dom will give SS 2.4x

DP 2.74x

SS 2.4x

APOC 2.36x

CW 2.28x

BVS 1.99x

 

That's not sad at all.
