Weekend #s: Sully 22M, Blair Witch 9.6M, Bridget Jones 8.2M, Snowden 8M, DB 5.6M, WTBB 5.5M, Squad 4.7M

I saw Sully last Monday, and I enjoyed it. Wasn't perfect but I'm glad its doing well. I looked up Captain Phillips multiplier and it had a 4.16. If Sully can replicate that, it'll be damn close to $150M.

i think Blair Witch might rebound a bit with showings on the west coast 10:30pm and after.

If these hold we might have the first time that a new release hasn't made $10 million on its OW since April.

The fact that Blair Witch couldn't even match Book of Shadows's unadjusted OW gross is disappointing.

Not disappointing... Embarrassing.

I guess this will kill the plan for Bridget Jones' Motherhood where she has an affair with I don't know why not George Clooney this way she moved from the guy from Grey's Anatomy to the guy from ER.
 

 

seriously not surprised by any of these numbers.

[Krissykins]

With Magnificent Seven being 64% already with just 36 reviews I wouldn't hold out any hope for it being a decent film. 

 

Consensus seems to be just a neutered Hateful Eight. Pointless remake

A critical consensus of  64% / 6 avg is about the definition of a "decent" film -  it's OK, it's fine, it's decent.

Blair Witch did everything I wanted it to do .... So disappointed with its opening weekend numbers.....

[boxofficeth]

Disastrous week. Embarassing number. September curse continues. Sigh!

 

Alas! RIP my derby this week.

Ugh those Bridget numbers. Now some trash outlets will never shut up about Renee destroying her career by changing her "trademark face" or some similar shit.

 

I like Renee and what she's done to her face is clearly a result of not being offered roles she wants once she hit 40. 

 

But let's not pretend that what she did to her face didn't affect her image. I think she looks better than she did a couple of years ago, but she looks beyond plastic.

What an awesome weekend!!  

 

 

STB is still playing at one theater about 25 minutes from me. Never saw it, so I think my son and I will go check it out.

Holy shit, really? Illuminatti Entertainment is going to edit history textbooks if we let them.

 

I see what you did there.

[DAJK]

While my house isn't a forest, I'm trying to sleep right now and I'll admit Blair Witch was a pretty effective scary movie

[Boxofficerules]

Maybe Renee could return to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series?

Scream 3 actually didn't but I see your point. I had 4 at least matching it (unadjusted). 

 

I meant they all did WW. DOM, I said the 1st two (only). But alright, anyways.

 

EDIT: Didn't comment on this, but HOLY MOTHERFUCKER those numbers are comedic. Blair Witch under 10M? Jump off a bridge now, man.

Renee zellweiger should only be the cute friend at best

Welp I thought Blair Witch was going to continue the trend for horror films but looks like I was wrong. I thought it would do $20M+ and make over $100M WW but that's not the case. I haven't watched it but my friend did and he told me to pass on it. Disappointing to say the least.

Scream 4 might be the biggest case of "nostalgia blindness" I've seen in terms of predictions.

 

I still remember when tracking came out and pitted it in the low 20s, and people dissed on it and refused to believe it would go under 40. Turns out even the tracking overestimated it. The collective meltdown that followed is an all-timer.
