It will be too weak after BR2049. Theaters will drop it fast.

This. I'm guessing it'll be out of a lot of midsize theaters on the 20th. Using a 12 screen as an example:

 

TYLER PERRY'S BOO 2! A MADEA HALLOWEEN

Only the Brave

The Snowman

Geostorm

Same Kind of Different as Me

Happy Death Day

The Foreigner

Marshall

Blade Runner

My Little Pony

Mountain Between Us

Ninjago/American Made

[Krissykins]

Oooh nice to see It possibly taking the lead again!

 

Crap for Kingsman, a shame. 

 

Dreadful for Flatliners but with a 0% RT score. Only a B- cinemascore though. Shows just how much audiences despised mother!

In other news, The Foreigner opened to 11M in China yesterday (today?) and has pretty good WOM.

Seems like a low opening.

Not when you consider its lack of mermaid

There were a lot of openers this weekend. The Foreigner has IMAX 3D over there and is splitting IMAX with Never Say Die which has strong WOM, and there's a new Donnie Yen film with stronger WOM than Foreigner but fewer screens because of Wanda.

Every movie is released in 3D in China, don’t? I remember reading this here.

Not every movie is, but a lot of the time they'll make exclusive 3D conversions for select countries. The last two Furious films did this.

How’s the Best Actor race? I know that Oldman, Hanks and Chalamet are pretty much locked, but what about the last two spots? Does mah baby Andrew Garfield has a shot? And what about that DDL/PTA project? Any news about this?

Hanks isn't locked yet. The top 3 is Oldman, DDL (assuming it's out), and Chalamet, and the last two spots are between Hanks, Franco, Renner, and Gyllenhaal.

Im really looking forward to it. I love seeing Chan doing something more serious than what he's done for most of his career. Plus, it looks like a pretty good movie as well.

Breathe is getting mixed reviews, but Andrew is getting strong praises, I was hoping that the lack of competition this year could guarantee him a nomination on the same way of Mortensen last year, too bad that the movie failed to generate any buzz, at least he has Under the Silver Lake next year.

I was happy with Kingsman 2 domestic total being under Man Of Steel's OW, but I did not expect it to barely beat BVS' OD.

I don't think Bleecker Street can work their magic this year; if Breathe's reception was a little more positive, maybe, but I can't see him happening.

Not bad for American Made. Expecting good WoM and decent legs.

Not true at all.  Sequels to films that hit the zeitgeist usually decreased.  But films that were moderate hits more times than not increased.  It's debatable as to whether or not Kingsman fell into that category.  I think it had room to grow, but not much.  I personally didn't expect an increase for it domestically but there are a litany of examples of films that increased substantially for the sequel.  The one kind of odd one that bucked the trend when it came to zeitgeist stuff is Lord of the Rings.  Each sequel inexplicably increased.

Source ? I could be remember wrong, last time I checked decrease was a bit over 50% of the time for sequels in the past.

 

One think that helped Lords of the rings was they released during a time of growth on the domestic market,
