When the other two are Rango (animated) and Cowboys vs. Aliens (well... aliens).

 

So really, for a pure Western it's done as good as one could have realistically hoped. Expectations were just blown out of proportion I guess.

 

I'm happy seeing the reactions online. Seems like it's getting good WOM.

[narniadis]

Happy with that number but will be surprised if the 35 actually holds tomorrow. 

 

Also not sure what some studios are smoking with their Sunday drops -30% or even increases are ridiculous this time of year.

@@sfran43 you know you're posting last weeks numbers right?

 

That's BOM for you. Every time I clicked on this week's post, it kept taking me to last week's numbers, lol!

I guess BO.com's early 21/70 Stork's forecast was closer than we thought

Is the Revenant considered a Western? I never thought of it as such.

debatable whether revenant is a western or not. also if animation counts or not.

[Damianport1]

Isn't it weird that in late September we still do not have single movie that grossed something in 170-310M range?

Why wouldn't it be?  It's a Revenge Western and also a man vs Nature Western.

[filmlover]

Solid opening for Magnificent Seven. Not sure much more could've been expected.

 

WB better hope Storks takes advantage of the barren kid market until Trolls.

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN a "hit" @ $35M? Ummm ... not on a $100 budget and a shaky int'l prospects. Break-even with downstream upside mebbe

[kayumanggi]

SUICIDE SQUAD is now at $413M internationally. UK ($43M) BRZ ($36M) MEX ($27M) OZ ($25M) RUS ($24M) FRA ($19M) GER ($18M) KOR ($14M)

WB's SULLY has scored $34M internationally so far, playing in 45 territories. OZ ($6.8M) UAE ($2.9M) TAIWAN ($2.5M) JAP ($2.3M)

Paramount's BEN-HUR has grossed just $60M overseas so far. Its last big chance is China, rolling out October 10.

Isn't a 36% Sunday drop too optimistic this time of the year?

12.7+13.6+8.7(-36%)=35

40% drop on Sun will give it 34.4

 

Will most likely end below Equalizer when OW actuals come in tomorrow. Sunday drop is very generous.
