$9.9m on Sunday.  WOW that is incredible.  

 

Soooooo that puts its OW at little O/U 33.5M.

 

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the 6th biggest OW ever for a Jason Blum produced horror movie (after Paranormal Activity 2 & 3, The Purge, and Split), the biggest February horror OW since the Friday The 13th remake and biggest February original horror OW ever (though none of these apply if you wanna count Shutter Island as horror), and, Split aside, the biggest OW for an original horror movie since The Conjuring all the way back in 2013. Probably ranks high in the biggest directorial debut OW's list as well.

Motherfucker that's huge.

[filmlover]

It's great to see that so many quality horror films (Don't Breathe, Split, and now Get Out) are being rewarded with a lot of success within such close proximity.

Talk about huge underestimation. Studios usually add some to estimates. Was it AOTC that added about 5M?

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Would be surprised if it doesn't make 100m DOM is WOM is this good.

I thought it lost about 5 million

No, I meant studio overestimated by 5M. You are right. 

[Jay Beezy]

What about other holdovers like Lego and Wick? Did they see increases?

[Krissykins]

Incredible for Get Out again! Wow. 

 

Lets all stop assuming every horror will have Split type legs. Get Out has 3 potential blockbusters in a row to deal with.

If @EmpireCity or @rth can potentially verify this (not sure why it's not letting me tag) my boss texted me saying that Get Out didn't perform as well in Canada (not too surprised). 1.5M of its weekend was from Canada according to estimates, vs 1.8M of Batman's 19M weekend. I guess our theatre won't get it until the 10th if at all.

Horror movies never perform very well in Canada.

Of course they wouldn't, people are too nice there to the point that scary movies are among the biggest problems they have.

People are apparently too nice in Portugal as well going by the number of horror movies that are dumped on VOD here.

R-rated original horror movie opening through Oscar weekend, ladies and gentlemen. Doesn't look like it, I agree.

 

Btw, Get Out is STILL at 100% on RT, with 140 reviews and an average critics score of 8.3/10. Audience score at 89%. Go figure.

 

@CJohn Actually we're not too nice, we're just too Goddamn broke nowadays (or at least we used to, before the Marcelo era kicked in), so theater chains decided "ehh fuck it, nobody's gonna pay money to see this... they can't afford it". Sad story about us, everyone.

Meanwhile we are turning The Great Wall into a blockbuster, one month after turning xXx 3 into a blockbuster, and 4 months before we turned Mechanic 2 into one of the biggest surprise hits of 2016. I think we just don't give a fuck about the genre.

They still haven't had Armond taint the RT score yet.
