Split 22-24m (7m+ Friday)

ADP 17-18m (5-5.5m Friday)

RE 15m (5.5m Friday)

HF 12-13m (3.5m Friday)

Gold 4m (1-1.5m Friday)

 

Split is going to have DB's legs just like I predicted, amazing.

This thread is so dead  thank god I'm seeing la la land tonight!

[Mockingjay Raphael]

RE6 currently hold the best score of the franchise at Tomatoes (46%), I wonder if it will translate to a better WOM, which could help to bring these numbers for high-teens.

[babz06]

I dont expect Dog's Purpose to cross 20m, I'd say 17-18m right now, but's its gonna battle Split for number one so that's a small win for Universal.

Resident Evil is just not something that sparks much interest in the States and PETA/TMZ killed the other movie's chance of doing surprising business and so we get a dead thread.

Two weeks should pick back up for this thread.  And March overall should be pretty busy.

Split seems to be holding well - on pace for $120-130 million DOM. 

 

A Dog's Purpose is doing as well as it could have, given the controversy. $18 million OW/$60-65 million DOM would be solid for it.

 

RE6 is doing a little better than I expected. Underworld 5 had me lowering my predictions, but still a middling result.

 

Hidden Figures could finish above The Help, depending on how it holds the next two weekends.

 

Curious about La La Land's Friday/weekend projections.

There's about a dozen people here for the single 10am session of Jackie.

Resident Evil movies have always made most of their money overseas.

 

If The Final Chapter makes 15 million this weekend, it'll probably make something between 32-40 million domestic and something like 150-170 million overseas. Given the fact that RE seems to be performing much better overseas than previous ones, I guess 200 million won't be impossible. It'll also get released in China. So, there's that.

 

The budget is quite low ( 40 million ) and that's really impressive. That's barely the same budget of the first RE movie!!!

 

I'm pretty sure we'll eventually get a new RE movie called Resident Evil Regeneration, with a tagline "Evil always finds its way back!".

Nah, Cjohn has got the right idea, a reboot more loyal to the games is coming. Shame though, I'll miss Alice.

Hidden Figures and La La Land will hit 100 million this weekend 

[Krissykins]

Fantastic for Split, wish I liked the movie more. 

 

Expected for Resident Evil although I think that weekend multiplier is generous. 

[Joel M]

Resident Evil is a secretly great b-movie franchise and PWS Anderson is a secretly great b-movie director. Event Horizon, Pompeii and all the Resident Evils he directed are very good movies, and most of his other stuff are above average. His only movie that I found bad was that 3 Musketeers remake with Orlando Bloom.

[DAJK]

Pompeii wasn't as bad as everyone says it was.

[ban1o]

Do you think it's possible HF will finish above LLL in the end? 

[Krissykins]

Just back from T2 Trainspotting.

 

Fantastic.
