Looks like they put it together with POTC4 for double features.

 

 

Yes, tis what they did - I know cause I saw one lol.

I need Loving and Nocturnal Animals to stay in theaters through this weekend. Those are my 2 movies for next weekend.

[Eric the Minion]

I fully expect Focus to give Nocturnal Animals a wide push due to the drought, even though it's almost certain to flop if it does.

Deadline says Focus will expand Animals on December 9.

That was a fantastic Sat hold for Moana and given that, I think Sun has potential to be better than the estimate. I just wish it could have hit 90m for the 5 day, then I would be confident in 300. As it is, it will really need to be another Zootopia in terms of WOM to get there with all the competition, which I don't think is impossible given the quality and reactions to the film so far, but hard.

Are they counting the animated movie from the late 70s? Because that should not factor in at all when comparing the two franchises. Different filmmakers, different studio, different medium, different take on the setting, etc.

 

 

Still based off the same source material though.

This thread's title could use some updating...

But not the same film franchise.

 

Otherwise you would have to include the Raimi Spiderman films, the Webb films, the 1990 Cap film, the Hasslehoff Nick Fury film, etc in the MCU film average.

It's called LOTR, by default I guess it count, but yeah I can see your reasoning. I guess the guys at BOM probably felt that it would be a bit silly had they discluded it from the LOTR franchise section or something. I dunna!

I kinda have a feeling @CJohn is the one who usually updates thread titles, put daily grossing threads in the Numbers and Data section and so on.

 

I wonder if my feeling is right.

Grim is the one that movies the threads to the Numbers and Data Sections. I always try to keep the Weekend threads with the correct numbers. Got lazy this weekend, tho.

Well you would get your HBO nakedness quota.

 

But you'd also have to deal with several seasons of the Son of Skarsgard.

I know the answer, but for some reason it made me laugh:

which one - he only has 7 sons (at least 4 of those are actors) ... and 1 daughter,

Edit - Also, wow for FB. *Over* 45M? That's one rampantly badass hold right there. Pity about Moana. Hopefully the legs will be strong.

All of this talk of director's and no one mentions Zemeckis rough run recently?

 

Haven't seen Allied yet (soon) but I'm actually kinda sad he is looking at two big misses in a row. Oh well, at least he's given us the closest thing to a Christmas classic this generation (The Polar Express) which will continue to make dough for many years to come.

Elf?
