Weekend Thread: Peregrine: 28.5| Deep: 20.6| M7: 15.7 pg 22

[Krissykins]

Queen of Katwe also tanking in wide release, too. $2k PTA. Ouch.

Sully is the only September release making $100m this year.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME.

 

MY FUCKING CURSE MAKES PEREGRINES LOWER IN ESTIMATES.

 

If it has a 50%+ drop next weekend and has shit legs I will die.

[DAR]

Honestly I saw little promotion for Miss Pergrine, saw zero for Katwe.  Saw quite a bit for Masterminds.  And saw a ton for DH

Both openers opening way below tracking. Great hold for Storks, should make 80M by the end and well enough OS to make a good profit. Blair Witch out of the top 10. Suicide Squad should end around 326-327M.

 

They're both right in line with tracking.  Peregrine was tracking mid 20s and Deepwater mid to high teens.

110M is a huge budget for MPHFPC. But I think OS will save it from being a flop. Hopefully, it makes over 300M WW.

Not surprised, it was pretty much dumped. It'll be fascinating to see how low The Birth of a Nation, a former Oscar player that's been killed by controversy, will fare next weekend.

Peregrine is, IMO, overperforming

 

True. Some of the estimates thrown around were crazy considering even Dark Shadows opened to just 29M. In summer.

The short version:

 

- The director and the co-writer were involved in a gang rape in 1999

- They then harassed the victim into dropping the case

- Co-writer got convicted

- Victim commited suicide years later

- The director to this day thinks he did nothing wrong

- Fox Searchlight did no research into this when they bought the movie at Sundance

September is a cursed month. Just deal with it.

Storks should be another hit for WB. It should finish above 250m WW on a 70m budget which is great imo. Add in home video and we might actually get a sequel, especially if the legs are good.

Sully should end up around 150m DOM at this point and possibly over 300m WW. The next test for WB is The Accountant. I wonder if it will be a success.

Probably something like a $20M/$60M run for that. The ad campaign has been somewhat muted.

Dear lord

[bapi]

I'd be surprised if The Accountant makes more than 15-16M OW.

On google trends The Accountant is doing significantly better than Reacher.

And they bought it for a record $17M. Lol. Now it seems they're putting all their Oscar hopes in the Jackie Kennedy biopic w/ Natalie Portman instead.
