Pretty sure this was never intended to re-launch a franchise. After seeing it, I'd be very surprised if they did. Disappointing numbers but hey, I'm glad the movie exists in the first place. The winner of the weekend is Victoria & Abdul. Judi Dench, Box Office Superstar at 82. Could leg it out to $30M. Decent start for The Florida Project if those numbers hold up. It was always gonna be more of a Room than a Moonlight for A24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Kingsman2 doing 8.1m fo 80m dom puts 100m in jeopardy now. Still possible. 2x the weekend more will give 96. Needs a little more to get into fudge-motivation territory. Mag7 added 1.95x the 3rd weekend (9m) to it's cume of 75.8 (75.8 + 1.95*9 = 93.4 dom).

Joel M Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I thought it would do at least 40m Edited October 7, 2017 by Joel M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't exactly call that good, especially for a potential BP nominee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is doing too many meh/mediocre or outright shit films. Performances are fine but nothing that is striking or oscar worthy. Needs to take break from these studio films and pair up with indie directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Every penny was very well spent on Blade Runner because it looks fucking amazing. If they cut the budget it would be a lesser film. Still a great one, but a lesser one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Looks like they failed to get females and the movie skewed towards males too much. Folks said Gosling was supposed to do that. But just his presence was not going to make much of a difference. It's not like he is a phenomenon that way. Few guys today can guarantee a bigger female audience by just their presence. Leo sure. Who else? Tatum on a tinier scale? Bradd Pitt once upon a time? idk.. Edited October 7, 2017 by a2knet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Room opened with a $29K PTA and ended up making around $5M in less than 200 theaters before Oscar noms were announced three months into its run and then it nearly tripled its gross from there.

His claims to fame Hunger and Shame are nay unwatchable, pretentious claptrap where everyone was in awe of Fassbender emoting in the buff rather than movies themselves. That's all that is. Once his nude shtick got old there was nothing for him to distinguish himself from the pack and others in the pack had more charisma or at least more likable personalities. His "brave actor" ship has sail, now Ryan Reynolds does it in a comic book movie. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say OD creeps up a bit from deadline to 14.5, 4 + 10.5 + 14.7 (+40%) + 9.55 (-35%) = 38.75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Not a completely surprising opening. The original Blade Runner was a flop and is still to this day largely a cult film. I guarantee if you showed that movie to a bunch of people under 30 for the first time today at least half of them wouldn't be enthusiastic about it. Some of the reactions to the movie I'm seeing here and elsewhere (the pace is too slow it feels too long!) means we got a Blade Runner sequel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't. We're more likely to have no $20M+ openers between now and Thor than a Happy Death Day breakout.

If Blade Runner gets a 2.4x and closes with 87.6M, then Happy Death Day could outgross it if it's actually good and surprises on OW. It's a sad thought, but it's not completely implausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
