If Split flops next weekend, I'm blaming you.

 

 

It won't!  I'm calling it: First 40M OW of the year.  People I know are ridiculously hyped for it.

He'll try to talk at the end, but ends up giving his owner a heart attack.

Owner: "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIT" *dies*

Poor Shyamalan. Bye bye comeback.

Guys explain to me how this weekend thread got to 50+ pages on THIS weekend? Must be a ton of numbers related discussion!

Boom. Now the dog gets to have a new owner. We've come full circle.

Well, this weekend did have:

 

- a Mark Wahlberg movie that came below expectations.

- a Ben Affleck movie that completely bombed.

- a Martin Scorsese movie that also bombed.

- Cookie Monster continuing her reign.

- King Gosling and Queen Stone continuing their imperial march to the Best Picture Oscar (and a Best Actress win for Stone).

- a Star Wars movie still in release.

- @That One Guy's most anticipated movie ever opening.

- Not one, but two movies featuring @Telemachos' sworn enemy.

 

All in all, 51 pages sounds about right.

 That's the best image you could find?

I think that Peter Berg should cast Antiques Roadshow host Mark Wahlberg in his next true life picture instead. That might shake things up at the box office. 

[TwoMisfits]

So new deadline update has Monster Trucks beating Patriot's Day by $1M for the 4 day and now within 700K of Bye Bye Man...could it sneak in as the #1 new wide release for the weekend once Tuesday actuals are in?  Even if it doesn't, this movie will be the last of this weekend's wide releases to lose screens, so its legs will not be sub 2.0.  

[Maxmoser3]

Split will be the first hit of 2017. A. $25-$35 million debut seems good! $10-$13 million OD would be exciting.

Can't wait to see A Mod's Purpose.  Follows @CJohn dying and taking multiple forms as a different mod throughout his life.  Including JohnC-Nah.

Except that there's a gazillion dog lovers out there like me, some of us might be interested in seeing it.

 

I was interested until just now when I learned that multiple dogs die in it. I'm not signing up to see even one dog die.

They don't come in till later afternoon.

A Dog's Purpose would be interesting to see how performs. It should easily knockout Resident Evil 6.

[DAJK]

I'm honestly thinking Dog's Purpose has a 25/90M run.
