lol nope forgot to add it; it's still in an average auditorium. A bit surprised The Meg is already down in one of the smaller auditoriums

Operation Finale previews at my theater: 18/67

 

This is about 60% of the mid-teens action films from earlier this year (IE Commuter, 12 Strong, Den of Thieves)

[DAJK]

Kin seems like a dud. Not surprised with well under 10M for the four day

[JB33]

Disappointed that my theatre won't be getting OPERATION FINALE. Was looking forward to that one. 

[WrathOfHan]

Operation Finale is second on Pulse behind CRA

[dxmatrixdt]

I had Operation Finale making between 0.1 and 0.2 million in Tuesday night previews.

Holy shit at it being #2 on Pulse, I put 6 million for the 5-day prediction.... maybe it gets that much over Fri+Sat+Sun now

If Operation Finale can average the same $274 that Black Klansman averaged on Monday, it will get 0.5 million + previews.  Black Klansman and Happytime Murders both had around the same PTA on Monday, while The Meg was up +10% on those two.

[el sid]

Predator over The Nun, I doubt it...and some other things. Still, nice lists overall.

MT now with Operation Finale:

#1 CRA 28.2%
#2 The Meg 8.6%
#3 M: I6 7.1%
#4 The Happytime Murders 6.6%
#5 Operation Finale 5.8%

[DAJK]

Bohemian Rhapsody showing up so prominently is very encouraging.

Keira Knightley? really? that's a name i haven't heard of in a while.  i had no idea she has two movies ready for release. i must say i'm surprised people knew.

impressive for Operation Finale, it should at least come in a tie tomorrow at #5 with Christopher Robin.

 

the other new releases, Kin and Searching, are going to compete for #5 tomorrow night.

From the Variety weekend preview:

https://variety.com/2018/film/box-office/labor-day-weekend-box-office-crazy-rich-asians-1202918172/

Quote

“Crazy Rich Asians” could pocket an additional $12 million to $15 million this weekend.

 

A 40% to over 50% drop on labour day weekend after dropping 6% in its second weekend, Even on the high end that is similar to the drops that don't Breathe and Mechanic resurrection got in their second weekend. How is variety so bad at this?

holy fuck at Operation Finale increasing at the nights end on MT.  an A- cinemascore too.

 

OPERATION FINALE (2018)

[filmlover]

House with a Clock in Its Walls and Life Itself tickets are now on sale at my theater.

[el sid]

Pulse at the moment and Searching is far in front of Kin:

Searching: 30/5 minutes (I have no good comparisons so far, that's 3x of what Slender Man had, 5x of The Darkest Minds, more than the half of Mile 22 (always same day and daytime)),
Kin: 4/5,

The Nun: 12/5.
