Like 99% of lawsuits against movies and movie studios go nowhere. If there is even a chance the person bringing the suit can win, it will never even go to litigation, an out of court settlement will be reached asap. Most of the time, it is just to get some publicity.

Looks like Going in Style will end up making money for sure. These movies aimed at an older audience routinely pull in 3.5-4x multiples, so a 12M opening can easily lead to around a 50M total, especially since it has no competition for the demo at all. 

 

Horrible numbers for Smurfs, Ghost in the shell and Power Rangers. PR really needed a good hold to keep its hopes of 100M domestic, slim as they were, alive. Looks like around a 90-95M finish in the end. Small chance Kong can actually overtake PR in the end this weekend.

PR keeps free falling. The movie WOM must have been real bad from those that aren't fans of the series. I also expect Kong to overtake it now. Kong has held steady. PR has drop big time each weekend since it's debut.

Holy smurf that's a bad Friday for GitS.

 

I don't see it getting to $7.4 with that number.

 

It's likely to stay ahead of PR, though, so my club won't survive. C'est la vie.

[babz06]

I still dont understand the reasoning for opening Smurfs right after BATB and Boss Baby. Another bone-headed decision by Sony. They could have atleast waited until next week to release it.

There was a lot of bonehead choices these past 2 month. Smurfs is not alone. Take PR for an example. Why open it the week after BATB?

Fast 8's weekend will be the best weekend of this month no joke. Other than that smurf it, I"ll be doing homework, and go to this fraternity formal with 2 dates at once.

Its F8 is smurfing sealed.

[Momo]

F8 going to smurf everyone. No movie will be immune from it. The Babies to the Logans will all feel it effect. It an earthquake that's just waiting to happen.

I planned on going to see it, but then my stomach started telling me that maybe I wasn't entirely healthy, so I decided to stay in rather than risk it.

 

Perhaps I'll get a chance later this week. If not, hopefully it'll still be playing somewhere after Easter.

[titanic2187]

the weekend thread without big blockbuster is far less interesting.......

Sad! It would have cured your stomach ache.

Logan has been holding on really well the past few weeks. It's obviously going to get hurt by F8 next weekend, but I wonder if it can still get to 230m. Catching X3/DOFP seems out of reach now, unfortunately.

Holy smokes, I've just realized how much money X3 made and back in time when there was no 3D. Amazing.

[narniadis]

With a 6.75m Friday Boss Baby is doing better than 25m it will go up nearly 100% today and no way does it collapse 50% on Sunday since spring break starts again in a bunch of places Monday.
