Weekend Actuals (Page 29): Split 40M | xXx 20.1M | Hidden Figures 15.7M | Sing 9M | La La Land 8.4M | The Founder 3.4M

[Captain Craig]

I may see XXX:RoXC Sunday before the AFC Championship Game. 

I think the first is a solid enough over the top action film. It's cousins with Kingsmen. A film trying to give the spy genre something that wasn't Bond, Jack Ryan or Ethan Hunt. Bourne Identity came out the same year and captured the crown of new stellar spy franchise though. The fact XXX did as well as it did showed audiences were eager to keep trying new spy thriller angles. Vin made a mistake in not coming back for the immediate sequel otherwise this might be a larger franchise now.

Probably if they advertise it.

Exactly what I needed after a shitty school day.  Seeing it tonight at 7:40.

[Maxmoser3]

$37.5 million OW expected.http://deadline.com/2017/01/split-xxx-return-of-xander-cage-the-founder-late-night-thursday-previews-box-office-1201889940/

Beat me by about 30 seconds @Maxmoser3

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

By god.

[SchumacherFTW]

That's an awesome number for Split if it holds! 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I'm very happy for Split and M Night! Hoping he stays in the horror department! (Or goes on to direct Unbreakable 2!)

No, that franchise is DOA as well.

 

What's likely is that Split has a decent 2nd weekend drop

DOA? Huh, what do you guess its numbers are going to be?

Resident Evil? If I had to guess, slightly higher than the franchise average OW, but lower DOM since there's no real interest.

 

23/46 perhaps? BOM has their avg. OW as 22.4m, DOM as 48.9m

 

The DOM would put it in between the 3rd and most recent films

That's not DOA, that's expected. It's a franchise that has always been living on its OS performance.

It's DOA domestically, which are the #s I gave

[TLK]

I am glad that Shyamalan came back after a disastrous decade. He is a talented director when he is making smaller character driven movies instead of those big blockbusters.

Is it really fair to call that DOA though if it's in line with the other films of this franchise?

[WrathOfHan]

Split is going to have fucking insane legs. Don't be surprised at a gross over 150M with an OW like that.

Good luck to her, she's backed many great projects and hopefully she can succeed.

Well, it's not increasing from previous films, and bad reviews (every film in the franchise has gotten rotten) could make it do worse than my prediction. 

 

I guess a better word would be mediocre.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I think I'll see Split Sunday morning.
