Weekend thread | IT Floats again in its 4th weekend: 17.3M...Cruise and Kingsman fight it out for 2nd: 17.016 and 17.0

[a2k]

4.) The Lego Ninjago Movie (WB), 4,047 theaters / $2.6M Fri. (-56%) /3-day cume: $11.5M (-44%)/Total: $35M/Wk 2

 

STORKS fell 37% to 13.5m and then added 34.2m more to it's run. That's 2.53x the 2nd weekend.

 

If NINJAGO does the same it will have a final dom of 35 + 2.53*11.5 = 64.1m.

 

But it could continue to miss the legs of STORKS and end up lower than 64m.

MAG7 in 2nd weekend (same weekend last year. R-rated):

 

3

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (2016) Sony / Columbia 3,674

$4,605,337 +114% / $1,253 $50,511,238 / 8

$6,987,266 +51.7% / $1,902 $57,498,504 / 9

$4,034,280 -42.3% / $1,098 $61,532,784 / 10

 

15.6m (-55%)  weekend and added 31.9m more to it's cume. That's 2.05x the 2nd weekend.

 

If K2 has those legs after a 16.5m (-57.7%) 2nd weekend and 66.2 cume it will do 66.2 + 16.5*2.05 = 100.025

 

Considering the 2nd weekend of K2 fell harder than MAG7 being a sequel, it could miss those legs (all things like reception being the same).

But as long as it does 98m+ or so the studio will give it a push to 100m.

I was so right when I said long time ago that Kings 2 would do less than Kings 1 but many here were saying 140+ HAHAHA

 

Jesus people don't understand pulse of the audience. Gone are the days that a sequel to a good movie will increase over the first one unless it was a phenomena or something. Even then there is no guarantee because you have to also see whether the first one peaked at the BO or not.

Holy shit...we are indeed getting a 300-million grossing horror film in 2017.

It is still amazing to me. Kudos to WB for a phenomenally triumphant 2017 (which seems to be continuing with Blade Runner 2049 )...

[MCKillswitch123]

Oh boy, that three-way race makes things a little more interesting. I'm rooting for American Made to win, regardless of it being the lowest #1 weekend result of the year (which I think it would be). Cruise + Liman are worth it.

The only thing deader than Flatliners is this thread. Gotta be the smallest number of pages for a weekend thread that we've had in a while.

Didn't we just have the worst weekend in a decade or something like that just a week or two before It came out?

[a2k]

hoping BR49 can do more than top 3 of this weekend combined (16.5 + 16 + 16 = 48.5).

 

in fact, if BR49 does 49...

yes. but tbh, a Cruise-Liman wide release struggling to beat IT's 4th weekend in the ow is pretty fun.

Oh yes, good call. Totally forgot about those weekends - not a hard thing to do, though.

Yikes Kingsmen...however Deadline could be off

[Zakiyyah6]

Nothing broke out. I'm becoming more and more confident about my 57mil opening weekend prediction for Blade Runner 2049.

[WrathOfHan]

YIKES @ how much Sexes dropped from early estimates. This is a disappointing expansion after how great it did last weekend.

lol Flatliners

WTF @ mother!'s drop

Well nobody actually knows what the weekend numbers are going to be right now. All they can do is go by similar comparisons to other films. I don't think Kingsmen is going to increase much more than IT will on Saturday seeing as they are both are rated movies. I think both of them should have about a 50% increase. So it's definitely going to be

[Zakiyyah6]

I'm not surprised Battle of the Sexes expansion didn't go great. Yeah the film has good reviews but it's about tennis. I just think the whole film is a hard sale so it's lucky to be doing what it's doing.

[kitik]

I've watched 3 movies over the past 7 days:

 

Stronger, Kingsman 2, and then last night we watched The Big Sick.

 

I'm happy with my selection of movies this week.

[MCKillswitch123]

Sexes was Steve Jobs'ed: expanded waaaaaayyyy too quickly. Should've stayed in limited at least another weekend, preferably two, and then after enough limited hype, it could've expanded. Similar to what The Big Sick did during the summer.

[filmlover]

Battle of the Sexes is doing just fine for an indie with a mainstream cast that is well-reviewed but doesn't have much in the way of Oscar buzz (I saw the movie yesterday and while Stone and Carell are great in it, I'll be surprised if either goes anywhere beyond the Golden Globes). Let's see if it has legs, lucky for the film that it's a crowdpleaser.

AMERICAN MADE (2017)
FLATLINERS (2017)

 

That B- looks gold considering Mother! got an F.

Also looking at audience scores on RT, Flatliners is 44% and Mother! is 46%.

Critics scores are vastly different - 0% for Flatliners and 67% fresh for Mother!.

American Made is on 81% Audience score on RT and 7.9/10 User score on MT. I think it could leg it to about 3x and 50m dom.
