Weekend topic: Split: $26.2m (Amazing drop!!!) | ADP: $18.3m | RE: $13.8m | HF: $14m | Gold $3.4m

[picores]

xXx did 1.2m last weekend, RE6 pointing at the expected 15-17m for the weekend.

XXX:RoXC had a slightly better preview number than RE6, that kind of surprises me. 

Granted none of the 3 franchise players in January were ever going to break out but I thought with the stated ending for RE that it's Preview #s might garner more butts in seats.

I think Domestic wise --> xXx >RE> Underworld.
Will be close between xXx and RE domestically, xXx is not holding well on weekdays as the Oscar Bumps from other films are killing it.

[Jake Gittes]

I think La La Land will do about 12. Might battle it out with Hidden Figures for the #4 spot behind Split, Dog and RE6.

The RE aren't brilliant movies, but they are fun to watch. There were several RE movies on TV last night and for the first time in a few years I watched the first one, it  holds up quite well and is actually better than I remember. It doesn't hurt that Milla is at her absolute hottest there (just edging out her look in The 5th Element).

 

No other Milla beats out the hottness of 5th Element Milla.

 

You are objectively wrong.

So Split is looking at a repeat win this weekend?

I had a dream it did last night. But it increased and did 70M so we know that's not gonna happen.

As I said, it's really close, but I give the edge to RE because it has so many close up shots of Milla's eyes, which are incredible.

Without having anything in front of me, I am going to assume they are referring to local currency when they say its the biggest (Can someone with Japanese knowledge back me on this?) The exchange rate with the Yen has killed the $ discussion on a lot of films for comparisons in the last 12 months.

[Jake Gittes]

10CL and Shutter Island both jumped exactly 147% on second Friday so if Split were to follow suit it'd get a 6-6.5m Friday and a 20-22m weekend.

RE6 is the second biggest RE in local currency in Japan. Problem is, exchange rates suck now.

In local currency, the current total of Resident Evil 6 (Final Chapter) is ¥3.96B (as of Jan. 22), Resident Evil 4 (Afterlife) is ¥4.7B, and Resident Evil 5 (Retribution) is ¥3.8B.

 

I think Final Chapter might pass Afterlife by the end of its run in local currency, but definitely not in USD.

With the fucked up hair? Youre joking right? Lol Milla is WAY hotter in Resident Evil, or anything else actually.

 

I went last night and I have never seen anything so pathetic from an interest point of view. Loved the movie, by the way, I love all 6 movies. Great franchise. But there were 4 people at the 9:40 IMAX. Four! That includes me. I've literally never witnessed anything so pathetic. TFA pulled 8-20 people per screening even in week 7 of IMAX and even at 10 pm showings on a Wednesday. This was fucking preview night and there were 4 people there! I mean what in the hell?! I'm shocked it made anything last night lol.

 

I can't get over the game fans and their silliness. This might be the only time ever where the movies are better. I think the video game franchise is unbelievably shitty. Chalk it up to not my type of gaming. I used Resident Evil 5 as a coaster it was so goddamn awful. My friend and I still joke about it. You don't start someone off with 4 bullets against 76 zombies it's just idiotic. I much prefer true shooters with sufficient ammo and not just a die instantly affair. We didn't make it out of the first 5 minutes and we both routinely beat games on Insane or at least hardcore difficulties. The game just blew and so do the rest I've played. The movies are way better!

I really don't understand why they don't wear a fat suit.   OR hire a fat actor!

 

mcconaughy in gold looks like cruise in tropic thunder.  TC wearing a fat suit didn't take anything away from his performance.
