I didn't find his so-called great movie to be very good. It's just a standard twee indie film.

I don't remember anyone ever calling Safety Not Guaranteed great ? Nice little 7/10, 7.5/10 film seem to have been the consensus.

[MinaTakla]

Great drops for DM3, Baby Driver, Apes and Home Again. Sub 40% drop for all 4. Best in the top 20.

Really weak, tbh. It needed better numbers for Jake to become a very serious contender. Between this and Patriots Day flopping, I don't think we'll be seeing any more movies centered around the Boston Marathon bombings any time soon.

Yeah, PTA is absolutely pathetic which is a death knell for expansion. Even Ninjago from 4000+ theaters mustered a better PTA. Stronger looks like a winner only compared to Fiend Request but what doesn't? 

 

It's the subject matter. Nobody needs to see that on the screen. Good movie or not, people simply aren't interested. Same reason why 9/11-themed movies bombed (United 97, that Oscar bait with Sandra Bullock, that serious Adam Sandler movie).

I will take responsibility for this one tyvm

[Ethan Hunt]

Pretty disappointing for Ninjago

[John Marston]

Not great for Kingsman. It should have increased more after the good will from the first. Luckily it doesn't have much competition and could get over 100m

[Alli]

The secrecy over Blade Runner is crazy. Not even one review on letterboxd

Chances of going over Conjuring 2 took a hit...needs 1.5m more. Still doable with the dollar bump.

Nobody cares anymore. It did 100M. That is all that matters.

Opening around Emoji territory is a little surprising. The social media signs (or lack thereof) were there, but everything else was lined up for it until the reviews hit (which honestly shouldn't have hurt that much). At least it still has almost two months with minimal competition.

Do you think it will be able to maintain the TC through late October? I have a feeling the amount of releases on the 20th will hurt it a lot.

I think the marketing pitching the movie almost exclusively to small children, alienating the adults/teens who went to see the other LEGO movies in the process, is what did it in (with the reviews being the cherry on top).

Ninjago is a lesson for WB and WAG to not be complacent with their Lego films and don’t schedule two spinoffs in the same year. 

 

Looks like it’s going to a repeat of last year where the early September WB films outgrosses the late September WB film

two spinoffs in a row (nevermind in the same year) seems to be a rare thing. can't think of any other examples. minions1 and 2 will be punctuated by dm3, star wars is alternating and so is the conjuring universe so far.
