(Fassbender has been unlucky in his leading man choices, but he would still easily find work overseas if the roles here eventually stopped coming).

I know for a fact Fassbender doing X-Men: First Class (and its sequels via contractual obligation) was more a decision advised to him by his representation. "Do this and your name will be able to get financing on the stuff you really want to do, like that slave movie you and McQueen have been talking about!"

[Maxmoser3]

Damn. So Annabelle could outgross The Hitman's Bodyguard. But hey one review is out for Hitman and it's fresh but they didn't love it.

[That One Girl]

I don't know why I'm being singled out for not being allowed to join the JL discussion of all people.  The most I've done is make a few comments in jest that I don't think it looks particularly good.

Random question: does THB have a post credits scene?

I didn't stay throughout because I figured even if there would be one they wouldn't show it in the screening BUT apparently there's a little something in the credits that I missed out on

Eh, Reynolds is the only actor in that group that I would say has really chased stardom. The other four have mostly been working in either low-key projects that never carried the weight of big expectations at the box office or were part of big films in which they were a piece of a much bigger pie that didn't ask them to flex their starpower muscles (Fassbender has been unlucky in his leading man choices, but he would still easily find work overseas if the roles here eventually stopped coming).

Fassbender will likely still get supporting roles but I could easily see him doing more indie or mid budget projects and maybe do theatre. I'm surprised he hasn't done a play on Broadway or in the West End yet

And here's the numbers (weekend totals)...

 

$38-$40M Annabelle ($16-$17M Fri - only movie with a Friday total)

Five Guys is the good shit

[WrathOfHan]

looooool Nut Job

I put in 7.2 or 7.3M for TDT yet that's still too high  

Pretty good for Glass Castle all things considered. That translates to a PTA between $2,738-3,422. I don't think Lionsgate can expand it much wider like they say they are.

That's too much for the Nut Job 2.

We will do a poll in the group and let you know the results.

[YM!]

In 2017, Cloudy 2's record for worse opening for a movie in 4,000+ theaters was broken three times, each $10M lower than the next. (Mummy ($31M) then Emoji ($24.5M) then Nut Job ($10M)).

But why do other people immediately get accepted while I need to get special permission?  I just wanna discuss the film if I feel the need to discuss the film lol

[WrathOfHan]

If Annabelle meets in the middle and follows Conjuring 2:

 

16.5M

14.1M 

10.1M

40.7M Weekend

 

Don't Breathe:

 

16.5M

16.3M

10.7M

43.5M Weekend

 

Annabelle:

 

16.5M

14.9M

8.2M

39.6M Weekend

 

Insidious 3:

 

16.5M

12M

7.3M

35.8M Weekend

 

[DAJK]

I think it holds better than Insidious, but I'm not seeing 40M off of the same Friday number Conjuring 2 got (unless that Friday number increases throughout the evening of course).

 

With higher previews-to-OD ratio, there's gonna be slightly more frontloading. Butnof that 16-17M range is accurate, it'll definitely match the first movie's opening.

The Nut Job 2 numbers are pitiful.
