You'd think people would stop falling for it

 

No, Perry knows his audience, although I don't think will be seeing another Madea anytime soon, considering A Madea Halloween is looking to be the lowest grossing film in the series regardless.

Zach Galifianakis will now only be starring in Amazon exclusive movies.

 

 

His shit got old fast. Like really fast. One trilogy and Due Date fast.

 

His best material fits a niche audience better anyway.

The original Scary Movie had an insane marketing push for spoof. Screenings months in advance that played like gangbusters and hysterical trailers/ads.

I dunno if Zach Galifianakis alone was the only reason for successes like the Hangover-trilogy & Due Date.

 

In Hangover, he was also accompanied by other 2 guys, Ed Helms & Bradley Cooper, plus the concept for the film was pretty funny. That's probably why the first and the second film made between nearly $254-277M DOM & $467-586M WW.

 

Hangover 1 = $467M WW

Hangover 2 = $586M WW

 

As for Due Date?......he was accompanied by Iron-Man/Tony Stark-portraying actor, Robert Downey Jr. And that film made $211M WW. Not as successful as Hangover, but still a big earner, nonetheless.

That's back when spoofs were somewhat funny.

 

Before the spoof genre became lazy and was ran into the ground.

The most interesting box office story this weekend will be seeing how Moonlight fares in its platform debut.

I think order for comedy spoof-movies to be funny again....the creators need to remember these important:

 

1. Come up with something fresh for the spoofs.

 

2. Have the humor be more clever and smart.

 

3. Don't hire people like Uwe Ball as a director.

Was yesterday some kind of holiday? Storks and Middle School shot up 40%, Peregrine almost 20%, Sully 14%, even DH increased 5% with direct preview competition. A strange Thursday.

Jack Reacher: Never Look Back or Lionsgate’s Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween. Off of midday matinees, both are lo0king at an estimated $8M Friday with both on course for a $21M-$22M weekend.

 

Universal/Blumhouse/Platinum Dunes/Hasbro’s Ouija: Origin of Evil is the cheapest of the four wide releases at an estimated cost of $9M, and it’s looking at$5.5M-$6M for today and $14M for the weekend.

 

Then there’s 20th Century Fox’s Keeping Up with the Joneses who rival sources tell us looks a lot like Masterminds in its ticket sales, meaning a $6.5M weekend, possibly $7M with $2M-$2.5M for today.

Please stay under 22M Jack.

Have to love 3pm DL numbers.  Rush to press, accuracy need not apply.

If it does $2m and has Mastermind's multiplier it will hit around $5.6m

My club looks good!!  Reacher will drop from estimates due to bad wom

[Jonwo]

The budget for Jack Reacher is the same as the first one so I imagine it'll at least break even for Paramount.
