I think we need a break. I'm getting on that elevator right now.

 

 

 

Maybe that's for the best. It means our future will be bright provided it follows the course of Darker.

[kayumanggi]

So what should I watch among these three films?

Dare I say, could Fifty Shades have better legs than the original? The audience rating for the FSOD is better than FSOG

 

FSOD

AUDIENCE SCORE 

 

68%

liked it

Average Rating: 3.6/5

User Ratings: 14,381

 

FSOG

AUDIENCE SCORE 

 

41%

liked it

Average Rating: 2.9/5

User Ratings: 82,405

 

 

If that managed to happen, it would be surprising since it's a sequel.

 

And the avg. rating for FSOD is slightly lower than FSOG, however there are around half as many reviews. 

What you have to remember is that you're getting the core audience who really really liked the first one returning to see Darker.  So the ratings for Darker aren't including a lot of people who disliked Grey and aren't going to see Darker. 

 

Basically the pool of people seeing and rating Darker are more inclined to like Darker then the larger and broader group of people who saw Grey.

Movie seemed short?

 

It's B-movie schlock. 90 minutes is plenty. Got plenty of satirical bite, though.

If you want a laugh, see Lego Batman.  If you want an adrenaline rush, see John Wick.  And if you want a fap, see Fifty Shades Darker.

[filmlover]

lol at Fifty Shades going from a C+ for the first to a B+ for the second on CS. I guess having a much narrower audience this time around helped.

[DeeCee]

I think I'll wait till all of the 50 shades films have been made and watch them in reverse order. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Just wait until Boss Baby opens to $50m. Meltdowns will be glorious.

5. Hidden Figures (Fox) 2,667 theaters (-734)/$2.2M Fri (-28%)   /3-day: $8.9M (-12%)/Total: $132.3M/Wk 8

Friday multies are too high on the holdovers if it was a regular Friday.  With some schools out and roads clear Friday multies should be lower than normal.  Their multies would be correct if was Valentine's day Sunday and holiday Monday like last year. 

Split   7.8m 3x Fri

HF 7.7m  3.5x Fri

Still great hold with theatre loss and $130m in competition

Split and Hidden Figures are both holding like MONSTERS.

[filmlover]

Hidden Figures is being projected for a drop of only 12% this weekend. Could it actually reach $170M? I already feel like making more than La La Land is guaranteed. Crazy run.

Hidden Figures' hold continue to be crazy good. 

 

Incredible. Well deserved. 

[aabattery]

That's a great number for John Wick. A shame it didn't meet our most optimistic predictions but it's still like a 100% increase from the previous. I think it can end up at about 80-90M DOM.

 

Won't make shit in NZ though because they haven't fucking released it grrrrrrrrrr.

That's just "eh" level.

 

And I really doubt it gets that high anyways.

What did the first 50S get? 

 

Edit: never mind, you answered right after lol.

 

The second one definitely satisfy the core audience more I think.

 

The core audience is also mostly what's left.  They lost the following the new zeitgeist audience with the first.  Hence a better opening night Cinemascore.
