Weekend Actuals (Page 32): THB 10.3M | Annabelle 7.7M | Leap 4.7M | Wind River 4.6M | Logan Lucky 4.2M | Dragon 2.7M | Where are the clowns, cults, and Cruise when you need them?

[Jake Gittes]

Tron Legacy and Fury Road were both 30-years-later follow-ups to cult sci-fi classics and both opened in mid-40s, so they're ideal targets for Blade Runner as far as OW.

Atomic Blonde is such a disappointment. sure it made more than John Wick, but it doesn't have similar WOM.

[Jake Gittes]

John Wick recognized that its story needed to be as simple and direct as possible. AB is way too drunk on its own style and dopey sense of cool to actually make anyone care about what's going on, its lukewarm WOM doesn't surprise me one bit. 

[CJohn]

THB somehow kept itself above 10M.

[Alli]

Atomic Blonde opened really good in the UK. 2.2M  compared to American made only 1.4M   But legs have been shit

I'd like to know where this 1 theater still playing Hidden Figures is.

Around one month after respective release

Imdb score

Atomic Blonde : 7.1/10

John Wick: 7.9 (November 15, 2014), now down to 7.3

 

Will see how much it will drop after the home video release and arguably John Wick had more appeal to the IMDB/RT demography and could be overrated on those platform, but the difference after a month is quite big.

 

Atomic Blonde still seem that it will do significantly better than JW, more than enough to make up for the bigger publicized budget, but I would not expect some boost like JW had if they ever do a sequel, maybe a drop.

Agree with that, would extend the comment to John Wick 2 vs John Wick 1 also. That world make very little sense at all and was better off not to be explored but stay in surface/background if it is to hurt it instead of making it more interesting, like for all the MadMax movies. (At least even if it make no sense is aesthetic was nice, like MadMax)

I'd part ways with you there, the worldbuilding in John Wick 2 is a big reason why I prefer it over the first. The story is still as straightforward as it gets though, unlike Blonde which needlessly trips all over itself. 

[filmlover]

Patti Cake$ is looking like it'll be lucky to even reach $500K. Between Me & Earl & the Dying Girl, Birth of a Nation, and now this, I don't think Fox Searchlight will be signing another 8 figure deal at Sundance again any time soon.

wierd weekend all around.  Glad HB made it over 10M. I would not be surprised if next weekend 3-day is flat or increases from this weekend 3day.
