Going in Style did alright. Not a huge hit but it did almost $85m WW on a $25m budget

In Going In Style's case it helps that it appealed to an older crowd, for obvious reasons. Legs were fairly good as a result.

I imagine it'll be endlessly be shown on HBO and TNT/TBS in the future.

The film should become a staple of cable a year after release, basically.

It's actually a pretty good movie, so I won't mind

Ugh Nut Job is doing really well here today, which is understandable it's the first day it's rained in town for the past month and a half of heat wave so...

[DAJK]

At this rate, The Nut Job 3: Bust a Fat One is gonna be made just for DAJK's theatre alone

Will be fun to see how much jump from true Friday AB:C shows compared to CONJ2.

 

3.3 + 13.09 + 14.00 (+6.95%) + 10.01 (-28.5%) = 40.40 ow ... CONJ2

4.0 + 11.10 + 11.87 (+6.95%) + 8.49 (-28.5%) = 35.46 ow ... AB:C with CONJ2's Sat and Sun holds

4.0 + 11.10 + 11.50 (+3.60%) + 8.05 (-30.0%) = 34.65 ow ... AB:C with more conservative holds than CONJ2

Annabelle kinda sucked. It's not badly made but that universe has become so familiar there are no surprises and as a result no scares. 

[BeastByTheBay]

Crazy WB might snag every month until Dec.

It's hard to compare because when I saw C1 that universe and James Wan's style of horror still felt fresh. The more movies I watch from that universe, the less effective the scares become.

 

I'd say C1 > C2 > A1 > A2.  A2 is a better movie than A1 but A2 suffers from overly familiar scares and tone.

Saw The Glass Castle tonight. Very good film, the ending will be super divisive here though if people actually see it lol

So is it safe to say Wan is one of the greatest horror masters in Hollywood history?

I was very much impressed by CONJ2. I liked it more than CONJ1, and making a horror sequel at par with a well received original is not common.

Wan is father Saw, Incidious franchises and Conjuring universe. Of course he is.

[Zakiyyah6]

I liked Conjuring 2 more than the original as well.
