haha about right was going with 27, free examination

 

DS 8.4,Tr 7.9,Arr 5.6

 

 

Looks like 75M for Beasts, 17.7M for Strange and 16M for Trolls. That Trolls Saturday increase is insane, it more than doubled the Friday number.

 

Beasts caused the holdovers to drop almost like a mega opener, but in some cases I guess a 70-80M opener is worse than a mega opener, it will hog the exact same number of screens but will not cause spillover sellouts.

 

Pretty good Saturday bump for Beasts as well, almost a 30% increase over the Friday-only number.

Well I'm glad DS is coming second over Trolls, it would've been a bit of a bummer if it fell to third this weekend.

[MinaTakla]

That seems fine for ARRIVAL, no? 5.6 means a -38% drop from last Saturday?

What was Billy Lynn's budget? RIP that movie.

How much can arrival make now, with a 3.4 Fri and 5.6 Sat?

So they were successful in different ways. How does that matter to us, as moviegoers? Both use their clout to push challenging and interesting fare into theaters. The Weinsteins popularized indie filmmaking in the 90s, and Ellison is giving quality filmmakers the chance to make their visions, in an era when studio tentpoles threaten to destroy low- and mid-budget theatrical releases. 

 

I'm glad we have both. 

 

You know I just finished reading "Down & Dirty Pictures" so I'm very biased towards the Weinsteins rn, even though they're horrible human beings. What they started in the '80s, in the midst of studios taking all the power away from directors and chasing the next Top Gun/Rambo, is awe-inspiring.

Would say 12.2-12.8M

In other news AMC Georgetown has had a major facelift. It's all reserved seating now (which I don't like) and every seat is a large recliner. Like you can lie flat.

[yjs]

so where do you see DS and Trolls finish? $215M for DS, $145M for Trolls, does that sound about right?

Slightly higher for both, 225 and 150 would be my guess. FB final total will be determined by the hold over Thanksgiving.

Fantastic beasts was garbage. Just got out of the theater.

Thanks, a bit more relieved esp that DHD was projecting 10.5m at the beginning of the weekend. At least the drop would be better now.
