This is one of the strangest think I ever heard, what ?

 

And Flatliners was a studio movie ? Sure I did read about that, but all the time I must have the same reaction of surprise that it was not an indie / complex financing distributed by Liongates or something like that.

Only The Brave can sit through Flatliners.

Well played sir.

Theater counts for next week:

 

Geostorm: 3,000+

Only the Brave: 2,400

Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween: 2,250

The Snowman: 1,800

 

Between terrible reviews and a nonexistent marketing campaign, The Snowman is shaping up to be a total dump.

[Biggestgeekever]

The Snowman will probably be lucky to open to $3M.

Yeah, The Snowman is a dump.

[filmlover]

Also, those sneak previews seem like a great sign of confidence for Only the Brave. I wouldn't be surprised if it pulls a #1 opening over Boo 2 next weekend between the aggressive marketing campaign and really good reviews (and most likely WOM too).

That's a low TC for OTB, especially after BOP originally reported 2,900.

Not surprised at all by Snowman's TC. My AMC still hasn't put showtimes up for it, and considering how long it took us to get Wind River, I'm curious if we're even getting Snowman.

I think they're going more for WOM than a sizeable opening weekend. It should do great in the heartland.

[DAJK]

Wow that's a complete dump for Snowman. Went from thinking 10-12M for OW yesterday morning, to 3-4M today.

[DAJK]

Also East Coast theatres I'm looking at only show Happy Death Day at 3x Cure for Wellness, while Foreigner sold just under half the number of tickets as Hitman's Bodyguard.

[WrathOfHan]

Final Thursday counts:

 

HDD: 32/78

Foreigner: 16/78

 

I don't have many good HDD comps. It's way ahead of Wish Upon and ICAN but far behind It, Annabelle, and Alien. Bye Bye Man and Rings both finished around 16 tickets IIRC, but the old Buzz thread is purged.

That seems decent at a first glance for The Foreigner, but they're the weakest previews of September and October that aren't Friend Request  It's at least 55% behind AA and more than 50% less than AM's final total of 40 tickets for the night.

IDK why Focus isn't capitalizing on Victoria and Abdul

Impressive that AM is expanding in its third week

[JonathanLB]

I wish Blade Runner could hold up decently, it sure deserves it. I will try to go give it some more IMAX support in the next few days lol.

[DAJK]

@WrathOfHan how did openers do at your theatre?

I'll do a Friday report in about an hour
