I said it a while back, but expect a #2 all-time domestic year for Warners in 2017 after their #3 all-time domestic the year before.

Annabelle Creation was fucking DUMB. Sandberg is such a WANnabe. He can create a nice atmosphere but cannot deliver on scares. The characters are moronic as hell too. Only a few people are staying for the post credits scene right now. I heard a lot of mixed reactions as people were leaving.

$138,000 for Glass Castle previews.

I wonder if a Disney/Pixar/DW CGI animated horror movie would do well in today's market considering how big the animation and horror genre have become.

The problem is that no one expects an animated feature to be rated above PG.

[filmlover]

The Glass Castle will likely settle for $3-4M for the weekend. Expected given the mediocre reviews and nonexistent marketing push.

This is also sadly true. Even though Disney/Pixar/Laika/Aardman/WAG/Dreamworks makes quality animated films for kids and adults, animation will be looked at as kiddy entertainment by the GA which is saddening

Given your (lack of) luck this year, this confirms that Annabelle 2 will be a smash 100M+ hit.

Confirmed phenomenal movie with great WOM. What a time to be alive. Hail Sandberg.

 

The salt when Annabelle tops 3 consecutive weekends will be amazing.

2018 seems like a great year for them as well but not as good as 2017 so i don't know if they can hold on to the spot. Aquaman,Ocean's 8 and,Tomb Raider,The Nun and Ready Player One should be good.Buuuut 2019 again seems like a biggie for them with the return of the queen,Shazam! (which could be really huge if they find the perfect tone) ,another DCEU film (which HOLLY HELL could be Reeve's The Batman),Godzilla 2 and to WB Event films that i have no idea what they are.

 

The DCEU alone could bring as much as 1B Domestically.

It will top 4... or are you expecting Hitman's Bodyguard to take over at some point?

[a2k]

RT score and average for A2 though fresh has come down steadily. 68% : 6.1/10.

Starts off at 78% Audience score.

And then IT will take 9/8/17-9/10/17 and beats mother! On it's second OW. Then Ninjago beats Kingsman OW.

Warner Animation needs to up their game, they may be doing better than Sony/Paramount but they need solid international and domestic footing.

International more. Their domestic results are good.

A2 will stay #1 till SW8 opens at which point it will drop to #2. But in SW8's 2nd weekend A2 will be back to #1 through Jan and Feb. In March it will be displaced by Sherlock Gnomes.

Incidentally Smurfs: Lost Village previewed with $375,000 but that was outside summer. That did 13.2 ow/45 dom

 

If NUT JOB 2 does 11-12 ow / ~35 dom, and 50-70 os, then on a prod budget of 40 the movie won't loose the studio any money.

How is it gonna make more overseas, when the original did less than 1/2 its total business overseas?  This is a money loser...it's just not gonna be a question of how much...

Might be a silly question but will there be numbers available for the Imax screenings?

They should take a step back in 2018 compared to 2016 and 2017. Having two DCEU movies is basically $650mil DOM minimum and that's not happening next year.

Not to mention, The Lego Movie 2, Minecraft, and potentially Bond and Margie Claud can be solid hits for WB in 2019.
