You think Nut Job is going to keep those 4,003 theaters when it's looking to make around $3M next weekend?

 

You think Nut Job 2 is gonna fall 2,000 theaters when there's absolutely nothing that looks good coming out?

Nut Job is gonna be in 2.500-3.000 theaters this weekend, thanks to the fact that is literally nothing else to replace it with.

So a 1,000 theaters drop then?

Tumbleweeds will blowing through the showings of Nut Job this weekend.

I don't know why studios aren't expanding Dunkirk and Spider-Man this weekend, movies that people actually give a shit about.

Nub Job is a disgrace.

Believe it or not, Nut Job 2 is #5 at the box office right now.  An average 12-screen multiplex will probably still want it if it's in the top 12 at the box office and nothing that looks like it'll get more than 1 screen comes out.

No of course not. But its not giving up 2000 either.

My guess is that it is probably gonna be 6th this weekend. There is nothing else.

I still think it is so weird how none of the Studios thought to release one of their Blockbusters in this virtually empty August. I mean why would you take Alien Covenant out of August? Why didn't Universal put the Mummy in August? Some of these weak movies might have done better because they'd have little competition.

I feel like you're getting way too pressed about The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature.

Go Nuts then.

I just thought it was hilarious how the Nut Job got 4000 theaters like it was a big deal. Like it was some hugely anticipated Superhero, illumination or Pixar movie.

Fox got confident with Alien Covenant, Universal probably didn't want two Tom Cruise films within a month of each other, they originally had Pitch Perfect for August but moved it to Christmas. Kingsman would have done solid business but I think moving to September was also a good move..

American Made would have been a good choice to release in August. Now it's stuck in between loads of adult competition

It'll likely make similar numbers to Deepwater Horizon from that same weekend last year, but will actually be considered a success since the budget certainly isn't even close to as big.

[Mojoguy]

Thor Ragnarok should have been released in August!

SS and GOTG have proven that we can have a 300M superhero hit in that month already.

Also Thor and JL wouldn't be eating away at each other's total like they will in Nov.

I really, really doubt Thor would've been ready in time.

Pirates could have done better in August

Not to mention Disney and Sony wouldn't want a Marvel film within a month of each other.
