WEEKEND THREAD | Official Estimates: Madea - 27.6M; JR 2 - 23M; Ouija 2 - 14M; Accountant - 14m; Joneses - 5.6M

Well Madea proved to be a nice little boost of energy the box office needed. It's not mind blowing, but I sure as hell wasn't expecting it to do this well, especially having a Sat increase that high.

Moonlight begins with an estimated $413K start (or an average of around $103-104K). Oscar season has officially begun!

 

 

Just cracking the top 25 PTA's ever. Excellent start, to say the least.

 

Maddening OW for Madea as well. Say what you will about those films, but they've got an audience that LOVES them.

Slay-24's slaying the box office today, tomorrow the Oscars.

I love her as Wonder Woman but Gal Gadot has had three wide release films open under $6.2m this year. 

 

Three! In one year.

STORKS makes an estimated $4.085M weekend, down 28%, for $64.715M total through five weekends. #Storks

Two 20M+ openings, a superb limited opening, a decent 14M wide one and an also decent hold for The Accountant. All in all, surprisingly good weekend, might I say.

[WrathOfHan]

That Kevin Hart hold though  

[grim22]

Great overall weekend. Madea might have a good hold next weekend thanks to the Halloween tie-in as well. Really good hold for The Accountant, might reach 80M or so, same range for Storks as well (which has had the weirdest run ever).

 

Magnificent 7 is going to need a big push by Sony if it is to cross 100M. It is 4M behind The Equalizer's gross at the same point, looks like a 95-97M finish currently.

100M is dead. The 55% drop this weekend was too much.

Wondering whether BOM screwed up the number of theaters or not (the movie isn't in the theater counts at all). If this is correct, congrats here too.

True. Really weird but the movie was hyped up a lot before release and it just seemed to come and go without a huge splash in the end. 

[Krissykins]

Great for Madea.

 

Ok for Ouija, too.

Meh reviews can do that to a movie.
