It's expanding August 18th to an arthouse theater not far from me, though they normally get films before they go wide.

It won't surprise me if he tries to go wide on August 25 or September 1 considering how empty the market is.

8.4-8.9 over the weekend (33-37% drop) will give it 294.5-295 cume.

 

I think they can fudge it over $300m

[YM!]

With Homecoming doing over $300M domestically, I'm starting to wonder how well Venom and Animated Spider-Man will fare and how will Homecoming 2 (Imma call it Prom) do.

[TwoMisfits]

Note for the weekend:

 

This is the 1st weekend in 6 weeks to have NO online general discount codes or movie-specific ones, so I would expect everything to perform slightly "under" expectations...Fandango's Android Pay and BOGO deals are over and Atom released no deals this week...

 

So, if holds are not as awesome as we expect them to be, I'm betting that's gonna be the #1 reason...

Crazy that we live in a time where the possibility of fudging a Spider-Man/Iron Man film set in the MCU and with a 90-plus RT score in order for it to reach 300 million is real. 

[Zakiyyah6]

Well Marvel won't be in charge of Venom creatively and it won't feature Iron Man. The Animated Spider-Man will be like Lego Batman in where it will do nowhere near as well as the live action movies.

Am a minority on this but after reading that article on how Venom will dip into Ultimate SM and come up with it's own stand-alone story explaining Venom's Spidey like powers/resemblance without needing Spidey (yet leaving room for him via Parker Senior - he and Venom's dad are research partners), I feel that it is looking more promising than animated-Spidey.

Reality TV billionaire got elected President. If that can happen, all bets are off and anything goes.

We don't live in that world. The movie is easily gonna reach 300M.

This is Weinstein though. They'll fuck it up somehow.

Of course they will. There is no marketing or buzz surrounding the film.

Your troll comment gives the misleading impression that it needs the fudge to cross 300 lifetime as opposed to 300 this weekend.

But you know this. You trolled and we took the bait.

I love how they're scrambling to find a BP contender when Wind River could easily be it:

 

Critics and audiences love it

The Academy loved HOHW and gave Sicario a few nominations

Jeremy Renner is an Academy-friendly name

 

They're fucking this up big time. Hopefully it does very well this weekend to knock some sense into them.

[filmlover]

Neon is saying Ingrid Goes West opens "everywhere" August 25 (it opens in limited release next weekend). Who knows what they mean by that. They seem to be giving it a stronger marketing push than they did for Colossal, at least (I've seen the trailer with half the movies I've seen the past two months).

[a2k]

12 Thu + 116.6 OW + 162.4 (1.39x the OW) = 291 dom vs

 0 Thu  + 117.0 OW + 203.0 (1.74x the OW) = 320 dom

[YM!]

I think AJG and Cochofles were being sarcastic and know that $300M+ is locked.

IMO neither were.

Runtimes without credits and attachments for next week:

 

The Glass Castle: 1:59. Attachments are American Assassin and Wonder

Annabelle: 1:44. Attachments unknown, but apparently a 4 minute preview of It is attached

Nut Job: 1:21. Probably no attachments

Still thinking Venom DOM < Homecoming OW ($117M).
