The Girl on the Train won't have great reviews either.

You heard something or just a feeling?

All the pre-screening buzz was that it's a decent movie with a fantastic lead performance. Some Twitter reactions were negative though.

 

We'll see tomorrow. I'm rooting for it.

I feel like it'll at least get in the mid 70s on RT.

Having read the novel, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the reviews for The Girl on the Train are mixed. It's pretty trashy, and not trashy in the way that gets under your skin as Gone Girl did.

Girl On The Train looks like a hitcockian thriller that will be mixed with critics but audiences will dig it.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip. 

I have a secret wish that Sony will do the magic to both films, like they have done to Stepbrothers, Zohan or Bad Teacher. Still, they didn't do it with Green Hornet which also stars Seth Gordon.

 

M7 is in a more difficult situation, IMO. But it remains to be seen if it could maintain audiences throughout October when there are clearly less competition than, let say, in 2014.

I was out of the loop this week, was Mag 7 predicted around the 55% drop?  I thought it'd do a bit better than this.

Given the weekday holds, this was expected. Not a good hold.

Disney botched the release of Queen of Katwe tbh. Shades of The Good Lie from WB two years ago.

Hey, not bad at all for Peregrine, a bit higher than I predicted, that's real nice. This movie was perfect for Tim Burton's style and I find it hard for anyone who really likes him as a director to dislike this film. Yes, it's a bit slow but I thought it was just the kind of pace this movie asked for.

 

Nice to see that OS isn't doing too badly either.

 

I hope it has great legs, it deserves it.

It should make some profit. But overseas will help it big time.

It's a chess movie, a totally Sad! genre at the box office when you get down to it.

Seeing as how Peregrine managed 28M this weekend, i don't see how The Girl on the train misses 30M. Bigger book sales and a relatively well know lead actress. Peregrine didn't even have great reviews.

 

Peregrine benefits also from being a family friendly very Burton-y Burton film.

[angeldelmito]

28.5M Y'ALL WE POPPIN THE BIGGEST BOTTLES IN THE CASINO TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[filmlover]

I wouldn't rule out $30M+ for The Girl on the Train next weekend. Marketplace is in need of a movie that's water-cooler-friendly and there hasn't really been anything "buzzy" since Sully.

Most of GOTT's press tour has been like a campaign for Emily's Oscar. I don't think Universal would have pushed it this hard if they knew they had a total stinker on their hands. Most reviews I've seen online have been positive. The only thing that worries me is that they have such a small social media presence, but it seems that is what they wanted.

Expect another 80%+ over 25 demographic score.

So, no update for Suicide Squad's overseas numbers? BOM hasn't updated them for a while...:(
