It's interesting that some of you guys think a change in release date would have made much difference for Valerian in the US.  It wouldn't have.

 

It flopping in America has very little to do with Dunkirk.

Re All Saints: I think Sony will give it a similar opening to War Room and see where it goes from there. Of course, my area is filled with old fucks, so it'll probably come to my theater instead of some indies

My sister is a teacher at an MPS grade school.  I know next year they might also go to an early start.  But they would be one of the few to test it out

My mother is a special education supervisor at MPS. She was the first tell me about the change.

Happy Birthday Lord @Shawn

Spiderman legs have not been great but think will finish around 310 plus as the next month is just dead.

 

I agree. People forget, this movie cost $100m less than the last one, and I highly doubt that TASM 3 would’ve seen $300M. This is decent.

Kids go back to school in the beginning of August? When did this happen?

I started Kindergarten in 1990. We started school in early August.

This is interesting. Seems like we have quite a few School teachers on this site.

Really Great For Girls Trip. Couldn't happen to a better movie:)

[baumer]

Despicable Me got hit a little bit with emoji. But it's still on its way past 250 and it's displaying some terrific legs in other markets as well. Apparently it's going to drop around 10% in Japan this weekend. It's still has a legitimate but outside shot at doing a billion.

[Zakiyyah6]

Great drop for Girls Trip. I was projecting 20mil after the Saturday numbers.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Terrific hold for Girls Trip. Could see it finishing astonishingly close to Dark Tower next weekend.

[Zakiyyah6]

And to be clear no I did not post that projection so one is free to not believe me. My feelings will stay intact. I'm sorry I just have to remember to post these things.

 

Anyway. Pretty solid opening for Jane Wick. If you thought John Wick's 14mil opening 3 years ago was good I don't see how one can claim Atomic Blonde's opening is bad.

Yep. My neck of the woods too. Used to be kids would go back to school right after Labor Day weekend and it just started moving up.

GIRLS TRIP 65.5 with a 20 weekend: 65.5 + 20*4 = 145.5? BAD MOMS added 4.4x the 2nd weekend gross to it's cume (14 * 4.4 = 62 more to it's cume).

And GIRLS TRIP has shown a smaller drop than BAD MOMS in the 2nd weekend.
