@CJohn WE AREN'T FUCKED ON THE SPACE BETWEEN US  My Derby looks very good outside of Rings and possibly Rogue One

[MCKillswitch123]

Wow. This thread is more dead than Prey 2 ().

Save us Lego Batwick Of Grey.

What a remarkably awful weekend.

We're back to 10 stickies on the box office forum again.

 

Can we not? 

The superbowl thread shouldn't even be in this section; it belongs in the speakeasy and yet it's pinned here!

 

Edit: I just realised there's a sports section it belongs in.

Big events go in the main forum and get moved when they're over.

Were audiences just not smart enough to get Hail Caesar? I'm not saying it was great but it wasn't a fuckin' C- CinemaScore which is like an F basically. I finally saw it last week and I enjoyed it. I thought it was solid anyway. 

 

 

 

Cinemascores are pretty useless, and rarely a reflection of public opinion. Most audiences didn't care for Hail Caesar, probably down to it's tone and rather misleading marketing, though.

This. I throughly enjoyed it but it was definitely not the movie the adds sold.

Overall the weekend is behaving exactly how it appeared it would for the last couple of weeks. Lion isn't quite making why it should but given it couldn't even break the 1800 mark maybe it's not surprising. Rings and Space are DOA but anyone expecting otherwise just hasn't followed box office long enough to know better. La La Land is definitely showing signs of maxing out, will be interesting to see if it can get to 150m after all. Hidden Figures is holding on beautifully and I am actually beginning to think it could surprise and win BP which might boost its late legs even more.

Hidden Figures looks like it's going to gross more than La La Land but I doubt it wins BP, it only got three nominations in total not enough broad support.

[WrathOfHan]

PTAs if the current estimates hold (and 10.6M for Rings because Deadline is out of their minds with 12.8M):

 

Split: $4,358

Rings: $3,617

A Dog's Purpose: $3,178

Hidden Figures: $3,058

Lion: $2,669

La La Land: $2,534

Sing: $1,635

xXx: $1,453

Space Between Us: $1,351

Resident Evil: $1,289

The Comedian: $904

Not at all surprising. Reviews were terrible and marketing was nowhere.

La La Land is having the same 30-35% drop that Juno, Slumdog and The King's Speech had in their respective SB weekends. I think it's still heading for 160+.

Hmm I missed that - yeah that changes the scene a bit. I still think all the Oscar films get smashed next weekend, obviously Valentine's will help but not like if it was on the weekend. We shall see - it would need 40m more after this weekend.

[narniadis]

The Founder would have been like a 30m grosser if left in the Summer.... damn money on the table

The post-Superbowl weekend is usually inflated and very kind to all holdovers, though it's never had a set of new releases as heavy as this year's.

Rings went UP?

 I put $8.5m on the Derby for Space Between Us
