Unfortunately. I’ve mentioned this before, but CRA fell off a cliff after its third weekend by me. Granted, everything else was dead at that time too, but I didn’t expect The Meg or Searching to outlive it lol

Is that good for Venom or too early to tell yet?

[el sid]

5 minutes of Pulse at the moment:

House With Clock: 60 (three hours ago it had 62; I have no good comparisons so far, maybe Christopher Robin with 48 sold tickets same day and ca. time of the day, The Darkest Minds had 2/5 minutes).
Fahrenheit 11/9 improved from zero tickets three hours ago to 13 & 16/5 (for comparison : Death of a Nation sold 6/5 minutes but on Thursday).
Life Itself: 8/5 (0 three hours ago).

A Star Is Born is doing well as always when I look there.
Night School had 9/5 three hours ago.
 

[filmlover]

Box Office Pro reports that Fahrenheit 11/9 is opening in 1,719 theaters this weekend while Life Itself will be in 2,500. Time to place bets on the PTA for the latter being over/under $1K.

Pulse:

 

1. A Simple Favor

2. House

3. The Nun

4. The Predator

5. Crazy Rich Asians

AN doesn't have a theater count up yet.  I assume it's going very limited like the rest of their slate which have either opened in 3 or 4 theaters or 30-50

No, it's definitely wide-ish. It's opening at a slew of theaters around me.

It’s at least 1k theaters, maybe closer to 1.5k. My 12plex AMC has been pretty bad with getting indies lately (it took two weeks to get Klansman and a week for Searching, never got Eighth Grade despite getting Christian movies with lower TC, etc), but they’re getting this.

Still no MT .

Pulse:
- House With A Clock doubled its sold tickets compared to yesterday when I counted it five hours ago with 124/5 minutes of counting (yesterday 62). Two hours ago (my normal counting time) it had 83/5 minutes and at the moment it's 84/5 minutes – a comparison to that could be the 97 tickets/5 minutes of Christopher Robin, same day and daytime. So HWAC is unfortunately a bit behind but Christopher Robin was more of a brand which maybe helped it.
- Fahrenheit 11/9 started with zero tickets five hours ago, than improved to 19/5 minutes two hours ago - for comparison because also political/with social issues I take BlacKkKlansman which had 35/5 minutes same day and daytime, so the double of Fahrenheit. At the moment it's 23/5 minutes where BlacKkKlansman had 28/5 minutes, so it made up ground but is still a bit behind BlacKkKlansman (which also appeared more regularly over the whole day than Fahrenheit does). The other comparison could be Death of a Nation which sold 6/5 minutes same day and daytime so Fahrenheit is far in front here.
- Life Itself: 7/5 minutes two hours ago, now 10/5 minutes, indeed pretty terrible.

First Man: "north of $20M, but reviews could propel it closer to $30M"

Goosebumps: $15-22M

El Royale: $10-18M

Universal’s biographical drama — starring Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong — is eyeing a launch of north of $20 million, though stellar reviews leading up to its opening could propel it closer to $30 million.

A mere 50% spread
 

Quote

 

“Goosebumps 2,” a family-friendly horror film based on R.L. Stine’s popular book series, is targeting a debut around $15 million.

 

Quote

Meanwhile “Bad Times At The El Royale,” Drew Goddard’s thriller with Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, is looking to earn between $10 million to $18 million.

 

Now we're talking - an 80% spread. So helpful.  

[Nova]

The Predator is doing so badly at my theater that on Friday its only been given 4 showtimes in the smallest screen for all 4 and on Saturday it got 6 showtimes also on the smallest screen for all 6.

Predators dropped 72% in its second week eight years ago. Doesn't seem difficult for this to achieve as terrible of a drop with the bad WOM it's having.

Sales at my theater:

 

House: 50/113

Fahrenheit: 2/63

Assassination: 1/78

life Itself: 1/78

 

LMFAO at the bottom two 😂😂😂 This is pretty damn strong for House; I just got home from work and am about to eat so no comps rn. Fahrenheit is doing as well as it can in my conservative area.

Assassination Nation just looks so stupid IMO so flop away.

 

Life Itself I thought looked kinda good before reviews started coming in 😕 Woulda probably seen it too if I was still getting free movies.
