Damn, will Bad Santa 2 miss 10 m for the 5 day.

And I hope Manchester by the Sea has one hell of a 5-day PTA.

How bout Rules Don't apply another new release, and holdovers that are important like DS and Trolls?

[PatrickvD]

I want Bad Santa to crash and burn. No one asked for it.

 

Great for Moana. 85M should be achievable...

Looks like it is opening near me tomorrow night for Thursday previews. Guessing most of the expansion starts on Friday.

Not a bad # at all for FB, but a bit muted for Thanksgiving Wednesday, not too surprising considering Tuesday increases this year.

So FROZEN's still got the best true Wednesday, right?

Yeah, by about a million.

It's hard to fuck with Frozen at the box office.

$85m for 5 days would be very good. Disney animation saving Iger from the constant ESPN cord cutting headache.

Along with Marvel and Star Wars

Plus the first BS wasn't that good

But few people expected Moana to get this close to Frozen's OD.

It was a cult favorite but nothing that warranted a theatrical sequel.

 

And the sequel looks incredibly lazy on top of it.

This is so fantastic for Moana. I absolutely believe in 90m+ for the 5 day given WOM is going to explode for it if I'm even remotely in touch at all with what the public likes.

15.5m on Wednesday is clearly fantastic! It's Frozen-like, I just love it. Americans did it, they didn't disappoint

Bernie Mack's performance alone makes BS worth watching.

yeah, and it also doesn't have CF to compete with although it does have FB and Trolls. Thor:DW and DS almost cancel out each other, I think.

Everything I've heard says that it's a crowd pleaser. I have to wait until Saturday to see it... 

[grey ghost]

Dare I say it but 300 m for Moana is a lock.

 

Lock that shit up.
