I cannot cooperate with this game.  I might as well just be dead.

It's just a game - it should make you feel happy not fill you with dread.  If you have a heart condition and think you're having problems then please go see your Dr or got to a hospital.  Is there medication you're supposed to be on that you have skipped?

No.  Medication is a check.  I've felt this strangulated many times before, but with this one it seems there is no way around the end and it is the same every day.  feel like checking out of life.  Leaving BOT wont solve anything and just want me to register on another social media account to find contact

No one has asked or wants you to leave BOT.   BOT is about more than the Derby, only a minute fraction of the posters play it. 

 

Medication is a check - a check for your physical well being which also affects one's mental well being.  You sound like you're spiraling and you need help.  Please, see your Dr or call a Hotline.

According to Fandango sales (AK Valley), CRA is barely behind yesterday's pace. I'm hoping for a small drop today.

It sold at least 22 tickets total for the night; I didn’t check the second show when it started. I’m in bed rn so I’m not going to my desktop  I think that’s about half of what TTG did, but keep in mind school is back now.

Why doesn't BOM list how many theaters The Darkest Minds lost this weekend?

What gives?

Maybe it lost ALL theaters!

Is FOX trying to do something sneaky with The Darkest Minds?

Just doing a search there are still places showing the movie this weekend. The theater drop has to be massive though. Could FOX be trying to hide it?

I really doubt that an obvious bomb from the start is worth Fox’s effort to do some sneaky conspiracy over

[JB33]

Hope ALPHA surprises. The reviews to start with are surprisingly good.

[dxmatrixdt]

good #s so far.  naturally where they should be.

BIGGEST THEATER DROPS

Do we have tracking for the Nun yet? Wasn't sure if it was already posted and I just missed it. 

 

I know @EmpireCity mentioned $50M but was wondering if any of the trades had released anything yet.
