It opened in Japan this week .... OD is $3M per Oliver, which is below TASM2 and most if not all Spidey OD in Japan.

It will be big every Sunday night for the rest of the month. No re-runs.

[Boxofficerules]

Nut Job 2 must be the worst opening for 4000 + screens, what where they thinking?

[Blaze Heatnix]

Holy crap at Valerian's drops.

 

Movie already dropped 62% 3 times for 3 weekends. Wow!

Nah TASM2 didn't have a $3m OD...flawed comp tho, Homecoming is holiday boosted, we'll see how it holds

Annabelle conjuring up (no pun intended) a result that is 8-10M above my predicted range. It's probably gonna go down in actuals, and it's still the lowest OW in the Conjuring franchise... but really, considering the bad wom of the 1st Annabelle movie, the typical drops that horror sequels get, the fact that it came in around 10M over projections, and that it more than doubled its production budget on OW alone, this was a CRUNCHING success. By definition, it shouldn't drop worse than the 57% of the 1st Annabelle movie due to the better wom and zero competition... but then again, it did not have necessarily stellar holds on Sat and Sun, which is not shocking at all really. Regardless, this franchise is a growing empire, and James Wan is the mad genius at the center. What a God he is.

 

Nut Job 2, an animated kids movie, in over 4000 theaters..... less than 10M? Hell, technically, less than 9M???  It's gonna do like 20M total. It's gonna do less in its DOM total than the previous smallest-PTA-in-4000-theaters record holder in its OW. 4000 THEATERS, YOU GUYS.

 

Glass Castle, given the zero marketing and low theater count for a wide release, actually didn't do piss poor tbh. So there's that for it.

 

Once again, Dunkirk dropped stellarly and just identically to Rogue Nation, so a 190 result is still on the table; and sure, it's still 4M behind, but that's less than the 5M it used to be.

 

I'm actually not surprised at a sub-60% drop for Dark Tower, just as equally unsurprised as I would be for an over-60 one, since I feel like TDT did have some shade of acceptable wom crammed in there, + the very short runtime and the lack of competition which would make it hold better than in any other frame of the year.... not a "good" hold, but could've been worse. It's side by side w/The Great Wall, so maybe it will finish w/the same 45M, perhaps a little better.

 

Son of a bitch, Emoji still dropping at less than 50%.... but also not better than 45%, which, for an original animated family film in its 2nd weekend..... not really a desired result. The motherfucker is still outpacing Captain Underpants, so anywhere from 75 to 80M is the good target right now.

 

Bleh drop by Girls Trip for what it should be doing at this point. It's still on track for 125+, and way ahead of Bad Moms at the same point, but it is disappointing to see it have substantially less impressive drops every passing weekend, after how promising its run was looking. Nevertheless, as the only pure comedy of the year at over 100M DOM, it's already done more than its required duty to bring comedies to the limelight.

 

Kidnap w/a pretty solid drop, unsurprisingly imo. It's gonna make 30+ DOM and no one saw it coming, dear God 

 

The two usual suspects at this point - Spider-Man and DM3 - continue their excellent runs. DM3 should beat DM1 in maybe one or two weeks, and Homecoming is actually starting to outpace Suicide Squad, so mayyyybe it can reach 330? Apes also w/a very nice 40% drop, holding on strongly after its initial run being rather horrendous. 150M seems possible for it.

 

Credit where credit is due: also a pretty damn good drop on Atomic Blonde's side, pretty much guaranteeing 50M at this point. Big Sick also still doing good business, and Wonder Woman unstoppable even after crossing the 400M threshold.

 

BABY DRIVER IS AT OVER 100M DOM OMG OMG OMG  Wow.... Edgar Wright's four previous movies combine to a DOM total of 94.6M. BABY DRIVER DID MORE THAN ALL OF THEM COMBINED. That is madness. But such movie deserves it. Originality is not dead, and quality is not dead.

 

Detroit rather poor. Valerian...... that movie's run makes me speechless. It really does.

[WrathOfHan]

Absolutely incredible opening for Ingrid Goes West. It beat Good Time despite being in 3 theaters vs 4.

[Mojoguy]

Holy crap at Valerian's drops.

Movie already dropped 62% 3 times for 3 weekends. Wow!

[WrathOfHan]

Next weekend is going to be death:

 

The Hitman's Bodyguard: 15M

Annabelle Creation: 14M

Logan Lucky: 12M

Dunkirk: 8M

The Nut Job 2: 4.5M

Spider-Man Homecoming: 4.1M

The Dark Tower: 4M

The Emoji Movie: 3.9M

Girls Trip: 3.6M

The Glass Castle: 3.4M

 

August 25 and September 1 aren't going to have anything over 10M, are they?

I went to see Wonder Woman at the local discount theater (its first weekend there), and was surprised to see that Valerian was already there!

 

I didn't know films could show up in discount theaters that quickly.

Annabelle forecast:

 

Remainder of this week: 13.3M (48.3M Total)

Aug 18: 14M (6.7M weekdays, 69M Total)

Aug 25: 8.4M (3.7M weekdays, 81.1M Total)

Sep 1: 5.9M (3M weekdays, 90M Total)

Sep 8: 2.9M (1M weekdays, 93.9M Total)

Sep 15: 1.4M (500k weekdays, 95.8M Total)

 

Final Total: 100M (2.86x)

 

I think it'll be close enough to 100M for WB to fudge it.

Because this is a WB film Han gave a 6/10 to that has gotten good reviews and has a female lead role, then the movie will have a 4x multi and finish way above what Han predicts
