Hopefully they spread out their animated films most of the time by say at least 8 months. God knows the market is already chock-full of them. 

I like that y'all are discussing about their animation projects so early but I think WB and Universal are the only folks that can still do fine without Animation and Superheroes respectively (they have been for the better part of the decade) since they have or will find the next best alternative and especially for WAG its fine that will garner some potential hits and its good to have another franchise stream but even if it doesn't their other movies will make up for it.

How the fuck does every single weekend thread end up having like 10 pages of talking about all the animated movies coming out over the next two years?

True. I just think their animated films could be more successful, and there's definitely a scheduling issue with them.

Well they keep making them. For me and a few other users we just can't stop talking about animation. It's often quite great sometimes, it's impossible not to talk about, you know. 

 

Plus this weekend thread is dead otherwise.

And what I don't need is you remaking all your fairytales imaginable but I don't think people care (and that is the part which will come to bite Hollywood)

In that sentence who are the people and what the do not care about what exactly, and how will it come to bite Hollywood ? (Serious question, I do not understand what you mean)

I thought it was the Lion kings, Beauty, Cinderella, etc... bunch, what I do not get is who do not care, do not care about what exactly and how it will bite Hollywood.

THANK YOU. It's the same shit being discussed every single weekend. There's no variety to it.

Okay. I'll shut up.

Looking at the industry estimates versus what the studios gave us, the math this morning shows $17.1M for It, $16.97M for Kingsman: Golden Circle, and $16.85Mfor American Made. There is a chance that Kingsman could trump It; currently this morning, Kingsman is -43% for Sunday, versus -51% for American Made and -53% for It. 

Sunday holds according to deadline

(estimated vs real)

IT -43.6 vs -53%

K2 -39.7 vs -43%

AM -35% vs -51%

[a2k]

^^^ Good for K2 that it's really at 17m vs 16m.

Just 33.3m away from 100m after a 17m weekend pretty much locks it, especially since the studio will 'interfere' if it's very close.

So does IT hold on to number one?

I doubt it, it's likely gonna get very hard again by Blade Runner this upcoming weekend and will only continue to fade quickly from there as a plethora of new releases over the next few weeks push it out of theaters. Thinking it finishes with about $97M or thereabouts.

OS will likely ensure Kingsman gets a third and final film. It’s doing much better than the first in many places

If it gets close enough they will try to push it over the mark

Minimum imo (current cume 66.60m with a 16.90m weekend),

 

Just the remaining weekends

8.5 (-50%) + 4.5 (-47%) + 2.7 (-40%) + 1.5 (-44%) + 0.9 (-40%) + 0.55 (-39%) + 0.3 (-45%) + 0.15 (-50%) + 0.45 (rest including dollar bump) = 19.6m

 

Remaining weekdays (last Mon-Thu was 10.7m and the Sun-Sun drop is 50%) :

5.35 (-50%) + 2.8 (-48%) + 1.6 (-43%) + 0.9 (-44%) + 0.5 (-44%) + 0.25 (-50%) + 0.1 (-60%) + 0.3 (rest including dollar bump) = 11.8m

 

That gives 66.6 + 19.6 + 11.8 = 98m total

 

And I think I have been over-conservative especially with the weekdays. It can end at 97-98m but that would the pessimistic case. ~101m seems likely.

Slickdeals has AMC stubs premiere for $10.  What's interesting is the comments - people are using moviepass like crazy to supercharge their stubs points...free money on free money..

I just realized that Kidnap had a very solid and quiet run.  10M OW and 30M domestic.  Not bad for something that was nearly shelved after its original distributor went bankrupt.

Monday AM: It’s hard to remember when we last had a fierce weekend at the box office, but it’s going down like the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida. “Liar” is a word that rival distribution heads are using to refer to one another as in the past 24 hours. Distributors have submitted their early morning estimates, and it shows that 20th Century/MARV’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle is leading No. 1 with $16.975M, followed by New Line/Warner Bros.’ It in second with $16.93M.

 

Universal/Cross Creek’s Tom Cruise movie American Made is third with $16.758M. This is per the studio’s own early AM figures.
