Its a good number but remember those previews will be inflated by the holiday tomorrow!

Kinda reminds me of The Accountant. People expecting mid teens, will likely end up with mid 20's.

 

Thursday numbers might be slightly inflated however due to today being veterans/rememberance day.

The last time Veterans Day fell on a Friday was in 2011 (and 2005 before that), both times the new openers decreased on Saturday and the holdovers increased about 10% on average. Going to be a weird weekend to model. Expect Deadline to provide completely misinformed weekend projections tonight.

 

all three of those posts may be true, but Friday should also be higher than most Friday's, as a holiday type situation, not as a 'frontloading' situation. (Seriously, Deadline?)  Sure, Saturday won't look as good next to Friday as it usually does -- because Friday will be better.

We're, uhhh, giving out American flag buttons...

 

Generally speaking, I do love this country, but this is the wrong week for someone to offer me an American flag button.  Maybe in the red states.

Arrival only 16M?  I don't get it. Why so low? The previews number was good enough

 

I haven't been doing this as long as most of you, but I've formed the opinion that whomever comes up with the numbers at Deadline does it on Thursday, and goes to the beach or somewhere unreachable, and the clericals left back in the office don't feel they have the authority to change them over the weekend, regardless of real time results.

I don't really believe those numbers.

 

 

  Hide contents

if they do happen I blame them on Trump

 

 

I don't think that is too far off.  I'm under the weather, and while I still plan to see Dr Strange, which I missed last week, I might not get to Arrival until next week.  It is only part maybe coming down with something.  This week has just knocked the wind out of me.

Strange: 36M+

Trolls: 32M+

Arrival: 6.5M Friday

 

Man I'm disappointed in these numbers. Good movies out right, and nobody is seeing anything. Hacksaw Ridge and Arrival are great films. Doctor strange(even though I didn't like it) also had good reviews.

I wouldn't worry about the numbers just yet, they could go up. Right now it's just Deadline being Deadline.

I guess DreamWorks will be happy. Everything else is meh.

Trump escapism kicking in. And by that I mean everyone in the U.S. is trying to escape the country.

I'm starting to get sick of the political posts on this forum. Please take it elsewhere.

 

Getting tired of reading it in every thread. This is a box office forum.

MovieMan obviously meant it in jest but, regardless, agreed.

That wasn't even political, it was jest. Calm down. And politics can have an effect on the box office just fyi, because politics affect the economy which 100% affects the box office.

The foul smell of this godawful dumpster fire of an election has affected everything. Get over it.

Arrival: 6.5M Friday

That's a superb hold for Trolls.

[MovieMan89]

Yeah, Trolls is going to be a bonafide hit for DWA. They sure as hell needed it. I'm usually against the pimping of celebrity casts in animated films' marketing, but in Trolls' case they were so voracious about it I think it actually helped its gross a lot.

Trolls is following Megamind to a T.

I thought that was a disappointment back in the day but nowadays, that's real solid for DWA

[MovieMan89]

Megamind did worse OS though than Trolls is looking to do. Trolls prob heading for 400 ww on a 125m budget.

Amy Adams' career didn't kick into high gear until 2006 but in the last 10 years she has built a really impressive, diverse filmography.

Agree. Considering she is in her 40s, her career is doing very well combining prestige and commercial films. Arrival will no doubt further her career.

It did well, it just didn't hit it off overseas.

Really doubt it does 400M, international gross is going quite slow and it's been released in all markets now, many of them for over 3 weeks.

Today I learned how full of shit Deadline is.

 

Yeah, Hacksaw Ridge is totally dropping 50% on Veterans Day weekend.  Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

FIRST LIONSGATE AND NOW PARAMOUNT.

 

Luckily he has WB next. Those will take care of him well and won't try to end his career.

 

 What..?

As usual I will wait for the real numbers to come from our lord and savior.
