Yes I know. Just saying the trailer doesn't look appealing.  I very well could up liking it though. Wouldn't  be the first time I've goten the complete wrong impression from a trailer

 

Did you like In Bruges or/and Seven Psychopaths? If yes, you'll probably like Three Billboards.

Here is my updated list of multipliers for all films (Friday openers) that opened to $70+ million. I've added IT to the list - there are now 103 films that have ever opened to $70+ million.

 

(I'm sorry the formatting sucks - the forum still doesn't (and I guess never will, now) retain formatting, so all of my italicizing of years, bolding of multipliers, etc, aren't retained and makes the list harder to read  - too much info to go back and add the formatting manually each time I post.)

^ Run Not Yet Complete

 

 

Despicable Me 3 has now entered the top 10 multipliers (with a 3.63 multiplier), knocking Finding Dory (with a 3.60 multiplier) out of the top 10. Thus, animated films still dominate this list (6 of the top 10 are animated films).

 

Wonder Woman sits at a 3.99 multiplier, and technically will end its run there slightly below a 4.0 multiplier. For the purposes of the list, I round up for all films when the third decimal is a 5 or greater (e.g. if the multiplier is 3.625, it rounds up to a 3.63 multiplier). Wonder Woman will soon hit 3.995, which would normally entail rounding up to 4.00, but that doesn't seem right when it is a milestone like hitting a 3.0 or a 4.0 multiplier. Thus, it will end with a 3.99 multiplier - incredible in itself, and represents the only comic book film in the top 10.

 

Best Multipliers Ever for $70+ Million Opening Films (Friday Openers):

 

1. Avatar (2009) — 77.0 million (9.73) 
2. Finding Nemo (2003) — 70.3 million (4.84)
3. Zootopia (2016) — 75.1 million (4.55)
4. Wonder Woman (2017) — 103.3 million (3.99)^

See it, then get hyped for Three Billboards. I facetiously joke about how much I like Colin Farrell sometimes, but as La Binoche said, he's great in the film and In Bruges has a lot to do with why I like him.

The mcdonaghs are both great. Love the two movies I've seen from both of them. Never saw war on everyone though so far.

 

1. Calvary

2. In Bruges

3. Seven Psychopaths

4. The Guard

 

I'd flip Calvary and In Bruges but otherwise the same.

Avatar is truly an anomaly. Look at that gap between Avatar (#1) and Nemo (#2). The rest are somewhat even.

Definitely a disappointing start for Blade Runner 2049. Sure, the original is much better-known among film buffs than the general audience, but that factor didn't stop Mad Max: Fury Road and TRON: Legacy from opening much higher on similarly-scaled campaigns. I'm guessing the long running time and (purposefully) somewhat cryptic trailers might have turned off some potential viewers. We'll see about the legs; despite the frontloading in the weekend number, I could see strong word-of-mouth carrying it just over $100 million. Either way, like its predecessor, it's going to enjoy a long life on home video.

 

The Mountain Between Us is off to a ho-hum start. The advertising lacked the urgency that the premise suggested - and if the reviews are a proper indication, so did the movie itself.

 

It continues to stabilize nicely. I'm hoping it can translate the approach of Halloween into some really strong holds, even while facing a big competitor in Jigsaw on the 27th. However the rest of its run plays out, though, it's still mind-blowing to see a horror film cross the $300 million mark domestically.

 

My Little Pony was pretty frontloaded, likely due in no small part to the brony component of the fan base. Without any new options for kids until November, it should hold up fairly well.

 

Kingsman had another rough hold and will likely miss $100 million. On paper, it seemed like the kind of sequel that would have little trouble at least matching its predecessor.

 

American Made also got hit hard (and the holds of the last two films mentioned really puts the strength of It's hold in perspective, given how close they were last weekend). Even with Blade Runner 2049 posting a softer bow than expected, it still snagged a chunk of the adult audience American Made hoped to reach.

 

Lego Ninjago continues to post relatively unimpressive holds. I doubt there's a ton of audience overlap with My Little Pony (but maybe bronies get a younger start than I realize...), so I feel like it should have held at least a little better. Fortunately, it still has a few weeks without any new competition for kids.

 

Victoria and Abdul had a stronger performance than I was expecting. Focus would be wise to take it a bit wider in the coming weeks.

 

Flatliners held way better than I was expecting. I thought a drop of at least 50% was guaranteed. Then again, there are so many high-interest R-rated movies in the marketplace right now that I can't help but wonder whether sneak-in business may have helped prop it up.

Wonder Woman and IT are head and shoulders above every other film this year for me. 

 

But I also really liked Hidden Figures, Get Out, Girls Trip, Rough Night, Kong Skull Island, Logan, Trainspotting 2, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Annabelle Creation. 

 

Worst: Bye Bye Man, Resident Evil, Baywatch, Fences and the absolute worst is A Cure for Wellness. 

 

Thanks for posting your lists with some actual variety in them. It's a nice breather from the repetition in other lists.
