Has for Detroit cast conversation, I didn't knew Krasinski was in this and agree that those name are far from household name like Hidden Figure had.

March 23rd 2018 has three very interesting films that are sequels/adaptations that no one cares about: Robin Hood v PRU v Gnomes.

...okay, not ALWAYS, but the point is that there are many releases that try that strategy, and instead of eye-popping PTA's, they get good numbers in correlation to the amount of theaters they've got... which usually amounts to somewhere in the 20/30K PTA. Why not go for 4/5 theater OW's where there's chances of them getting a much bigger number PTA-wise, which is what matters most when it comes to a limited release's OW (or correct me if I'm wrong there, but in my experience of following box office, that's what I have learned over the years - PTA over actual regarding limited openings)?

I think it would be hard to distinguish the chicken/eggs here, in term of correlation/causation.

 

Great PTA is always a good sign, because it show an interest and word of mouth working locally, but does the great PTA news have much reach and any impact (does anyone that would care about such news not already knowing about the movie ?) Except for American Sniper/Revenant level of PTA, I don' think the news of such numbers has much reach.

Ready Player One, Robin Hood and Tomb Raider are on my March-stan-list.

Red Sparrow could be added to the list depending on the promo. I am all for Russia-USA spy cat and mouse games, and Bridge of Spies was my fav film of 2015 (well above MM:FR the winner of best picture on BOT), but the love angle here seems cliche to me.

One of those million Robin Hoods that were in development got made?

 

But, why?

 

Also, which one?

Even going very conservative, can't see EMOJI at less than 11m over the weekend:

3.6 (+30%)

4.5 (+25%)

2.9 (-35%)

= 11 (-55%)

 

But it's more likely to do 12-13 for 49-50 cume, which will be 2x+ multiplier already.

I think 80 dom (3.26x multi) is gonna happen.

@Barnack @filmlover Alright, fine, HF was not the best comparision. Doesn't change my opinion that Detroit's PTA wasn't greatly impressive by any means, though.

Pretty bad for Detroit. Questionable legs perhaps?

I'm curious what the expansion plan is for Wind River (if there is one planned considering Harvey probably has no money now). Nothing showing up on any of the arthouse theater schedules down here.

I don't expect strong legs simply because its showtimes are going to get slashed at a lot of theaters next week.

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