I used to like the smurfs cartoon as a kid but I agree that the liveaction-animation movies were meh which put off lots of people.

Plus, the competition is pretty strong atm.

It has similar target audience to both Beauty and Boss Baby which hold pretty strongly still.

The most disappointing part are OS numbers. Dom was never gonna be strong but I was expecting something north of $200m IS which is obv NOT happening.

 

I never really cared for the Smurfs. I was more of a Voltron and He-Man fan growing up.

You liked it?

Yes, it's surprisingly enjoyable! It drags a bit towards the end and doesn't have any huge laughs, but there's a nice emotional message and some great animation.

For my survivor, a 4.6M Friday would be ideal for Smurfs and 3.6 for GIS. What are the odds of those happening?

TFW Boss Baby is better than half of the movies released in March

 

 

Oh, and like 10 people showed up before the movie started. No solo experience yet  

 

Seeing it tonight.

 

What was the blowjob joke in it?

Spoiler

The baby wants to show Tim a VR version of BabyCorp, so they must suck on pacifiers to get there. 

Spoiler

There's also a buttplug joke towards the start of the film

I only had one "solo" film experience. It was at a T4 showing in NYC, late in the morning at like 10. The only other person there was a family friend.

[That One Girl]

I had a solo experience with Warcraft.  i wanted to die.

I saw Ghost Ship with just my girlfriend at the time and I saw the Robert Englund Phantom of the Opera on my own until 2 other people walked in right before it started.

 

I have had plenty of almost empty theaters though with 5 or less people total.

I've had solo experiences for Pixels, Transcendence, Insidious 3 just off the top of my head.

Which would suck, since no one would be around to stop you

Yeah, when I go to the theater, sometimes it'll be for a movie that's been out for like 4-5 weeks, so the room is pretty empty

[filmlover]

I've never had a solo movie theater experience.

[grey ghost]

Smurf this.

 

This weekend isn't smurfy at all.

 

Go smurf yourselves.

Pixels had like 3 other people in it outside of my mom.  Wanted to die but not as much as usual.

Yeah I just had an empty theater except for me earlier this year.  Trying to remember the movie, but I almost felt bad that they had to use the bulb for just me, but hey I paid and didn't know it was just going to be me  

[misafeco]

I saw Joy in an empty room. Bizarre experience.

[Jake Gittes]

Recently I saw Hail Caesar, Moonlight and Knight of Cups all by myself. It was great in the case of KoC, made it feel more personal (and made me an even bigger fan of the movie than I'd been before).

There's no call for that kind of language, young man.

[FantasticBeasts]

What a boring weekend.

I finally have time to watch a movie and nothing to catch.

Get Out is getting here late May...

Smurf me..

Hope it does 4.6 on Friday.

The Nut Job did 4.8 OD and 19.4 OW.  If Smurfs does 4.6 on Friday, it means the True Friday is 4.225.

 

Using The Nut Job's multiplier and adding back the previews gives, 0.375 + (4.225/4.6*19.4) = 18.2 OW.

Even apart from the previews, there could be more front-loading thanks to Smurfs being a brand, so realistically the OW would end up closer to 17.

A multiplier of 3.3 with 17 OW would give it 56 Dom.
