Intense for BATB

OK/Good for PR

Life isn't Death at all, and it isn't dead either

Kong ain't got shit on BATB

Old Man Logan might break the 200 million figure domestic

Get Out will get its sequel called Get In

John Wick has had a Wicked performance

 

 

All in all, not bad at all. I loved Logan and PR, and I'm glad that both movies are performing well ( Logan and PR ). Logan is a huge hit, but PR still has a long way to go, though it has better reviews that what I thought it would get. It's 82% RT score is quite good and it hasn't dropped since Thursday. 

 

Kong still did well for itself. Even if it didn't put up BATB number.  Looking forward to Kong vs Godzilla. Huge Godzilla fan.

Even the Razzies probably won't remember it by the end of the year other than a random nod for Elizabeth Banks, I guess.

But Banks was by far the best part of the movie...

I assume it might get a random nom, like maybe worse product placement or something.

 

 

I'm assuming Rings will be at least be in the top five.

 

 

That's good. I haven't seen the film yet, though.

Rings is so utterly forgettable that the Razzies might just let it die quietly. I swear I forgot almost all aspects of the movie within a week.

Kong is a big success. 

150-155 dom + 150 current os + >150 china + 20 japan + 75 current os markets = 550+ ww

$38-39 million for Beauty would represent a 61-65% Saturday increase, and make for about an $87-90 million weekend (a 49-50% drop from it's opening weekend).

 

$14 million for Power Rangers represents a solid 23% Saturday increase (from Real Friday), and likely makes for ~$39 million weekend, give or take.

 

Peace,

Mike

 

The Friday to Saturday increase for CINDERELLA was 61.4%. The Thursday to Friday increase was also similar (111.9% for CINDERELLA, 116% for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST). Looking like the former film is a pretty accurate comparison. More accurate than THE JUNGLE BOOK.

That gets BatB to 517M. Not too shabby.

Since when does something actually being good stop it from getting a Razzie?

I still haven't bothered with it honestly, but all of the reviews of it I've seen from people I trust call it absolute horseshit.

Oh, it is.

[Xillix]

I actually went to the 7PM Thursday pre-show of Rings... yeah it was pretty bad. And I actually really liked The Ring Two.

[PPZVGOS]

BATB is simply monstrous. We should not be surprised it's less "leggy" than TJB. 

 

Around $40M OW for Power Rangers I think is OK. 

[Xillix]

Well if Power Rangers has to perform like Pacific Rim over the weekend here's hoping it'll at least get the 2.7x multiplier or better too >.>

Maybe the Blu-ray sells for the movie will help it out. Seem to do wonders for Picture Perfect.

With good DVD sales and a $250M-$350M WW finish, a sequel has become a slightly safer idea than before.

[MrGlass2]

It is going to be close for third place, between Kong and Life.

Pitch Perfect was a movie that was only a modest grosser in theaters but really took off once more a ton of more people saw it on DVD. Power Rangers is unlikely to do that since it had an audience that saw it upfront.

Considering how well PR Toys sell, I don't think I agree with you. Kids will buy the movie.

The reason no one has reported Slamma Jamma numbers is cause River Rain is still counting the billions of dollars they made from it.

[Xillix]

Slamma Jamma is so good that the theatres and studios are actually giving all their ticket revenue to it. Everything else is making $0 for the weekend.

Great Saturday - a little higher than I had set my hopes on which pretty much seals upper 80s as the weekend goal - maybe it can crack the 90m mark with a really good Sunday but I see Disney being conservative a bit and going for about an 86m estimate - there aren't any records that make it worth overshooting by for the papers.
