There're more Tarkovskys out there, Han. Time to step up. 

ATOMIC BLONDE SPOILERS:

 

In ATOMIC BLONDE, they fucking have a fight during a showing of STALKER. It's fucking moronic and so try-hard. Reminds me of WHILE WE'RE YOUNG when Adam Driver says "Have you seen STRIKE! ?, that's Eisenstein's real masterpiece!". No shit, that's what every fucking professor says AGHHHH

Crazy how Annabelle 2 is going to increase from Annabelle, despite how disliked the first was.

Good reviews helped.

Didn't help Ouija. Although Annabelle has The Conjuring fan base going for it.

@EmpireCity, @Rth Atmos,

 

How Homecoming's Friday is looking?

The first Ouija wasn't as successful as Annabelle. 

 

Good for Annabelle though.

Ouija wasn't released theatrically, so I don't think it's fair to compare it.

In the U.S. and I'm pretty sure a lot of overseas markets both Ouijas were theatrical releases.

I do, I'm running a comparative with SS and if it's jump from Thurs to Fri is too muted the chances of going for $320M becomes incredibly difficult. Please?

[dxmatrixdt]

i sure do hope Annabelle jumps back up to 17M with west coast sellouts

Well there were tons of shitty direct to DVD Ouija rip offs.

I don't know if you are being casual with that statement (going by your usual predictions on Spidey's potential dom), but even with a bad Friday bump and a weekend of 5 (-43.5%), it will be on 305.35, 14.65 away from 320. That would not be incredibly difficult looking at it's weekdays (for eg: did 5.2 over Mon-Thu) but quiet likely, with LD FSSM and dollar bump and all.

The Ouija Experiment was a pretty shitty film, and it was released before the actual Ouija film. Maybe I got it mixed-up with that (ha). Hard to say it's much worse then the actual Ouija film, though.

Sony usually pulls out films before WB/DIS. SS's sixth Friday was $1.4m, but it was coming from a $445k Thursday. At same period of time, SS was at $301.7m, from there it went for $325m. Hence why I've got worried with the low numbers for the new theatrical releases and the absence of Homecoming among the films Rth listed.

You can wait until morning.

 

Gee @Stutterng baumer Denbrough, we really should build a time machine to send these people back to when you really had to wait for the estimates to come in.

I think LD FSS will help. At least when it comes to milestones Sony has been known to stretch the late run of movies (Spetre, Passengers). Spider doesn't have any major milestone within reach as it crossed 300 but Sony could still give it some late mileage.

Does California have Annabelle fever tonight??  Furious 7 style?

The only milestone ahead I can think of is $336m from SM3.  But getting there depends of not just strong weekdays, but steady short weekend drops. If it could go for a $6m-$7m weekend instead of $5m it could get there, but it is not looking likely.
