I'd call you a casual, but I don't know what movie you subbed it with.

 

None! It started at 4PM and my lecture ended at 4PM. Decided that it would've been a stretch to make it, so I didn't go.

Concerned about your studies instead of film? What a casual.

Here's a little nugget for ya: The Conjuring 2, despite having rather poor staying power DOM (some bad drops during its run) - which can be attributable to the extreme competition it had to face, particularly Finding Dory and Central Intelligence in its 2nd weekend - had a 2.5x multiplier, which is fantastic for a horror sequel. And it also did 217M OS - but Annabelle 2 is currently outopening it mostly everywhere.

 

Annabelle had very bad wom, opened in the fall season where it had quite the room to perform (October/November) to 37M - very similar numbers to where Creation is gonna fall - and only managed a 2.3x multiplier. Creation has great circumstances to perform more strongly than the original DOM.

 

Point is: with even LESS competition and far stronger wom, there's no Creation falls below the 84M that the original Annabelle posed DOM. And you add to that the massive OS increases from both Annabelle AND Conjuring 2, and you've got a potential 300M WW maker right there.

 

In another words, The Conjuring franchise is about to produce its 3rd 90M+ DOM maker, and 4th 200M+ WW grosser. Not even Paranormal Activity, the other horror franchise w/2 100M+ makers in the last 10 years (the original and PA3) can say that it had 3 90M+ makers - the 3rd biggest in the franchise being PA2 which matched the OG Annabelle's 84M. Thus, this has officially soldified itself as the #1 horror franchise of the 21st Century.

 

All hail James Wan aka James Gawd.

Homecoming should end at $325M+, which is very solid. This can benefit the spinoffs Sony has planned imo.

I hope Sony does a mini re expansion to make SMH pass GOGT and SM3 

I would think they'd want to do that, so your wish may come true:)...it's not like they are gonna look to hold Emoji or Dark Tower screens and Baby Driver essentially has his $100M...

If only I had a dollar for every time Han said the word "casual" in this thread alone. 

 

Id have enough money to pay for medical school.

I never thought I would see the day where a movie playing in over 4.000 theaters would open under 10M, but here we are.

I also never thought the day where two different movies with good wom topped the Portugal charts in the space of a month, but between this and Baby Driver, here we are.

 

Who knew that bitchy possessed dolls sold these many tickets.

Medical school costs $8?  

[filmlover]

Detroit is locked to make less than The Hurt Locker now. Ouch.

 

Great start for Ingrid Goes West, and decent start for Good Time. Good expansion for Wind River as well.

[Boxofficerules]

I find it hilarious that Annabelle will make more in its opening day than Wish (we cut ourselves down to a PG-13 cause R rated horror movies don't make money) Upon did its entire run.

I'm waiting on the Uncut version to hit before watching it. They cut 11 minutes out of that to gain a PG-13.

This was so obvious months ago - I never thought I'd see the day where a movie this obvious to fail got 4000 theaters...it's like no one watched the 1st movie, the poor critical and audience reaction from that movie, the lack of success for unwanted/unasked for sequels the last 2 years, or the trailers and reactions from the trailers for this one...

He said he thought it looked cool but that doesn't have a trailer yet?

 

He's since said that it isn't Greatest Showman.
