I plan to see Jigsaw rather than Blade Runner.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I want some HDD numbers, I hope it will surpass Don’t Breathe’s OW.

I wouldn’t expect less from you.

I feel like this thread nicely sums up BOT. It's got everything, from @CJohn and @Blankments meltdowns to TDKR discussions to The Star discussion to people complaining about their favorite movies flopping/underperforming. If anybody new wants to join this forum, we should just show them this thread so they know what they're getting into. An initiation ritual, so to speak.

 

Just one thing is missing

That's a great multiplier considering the opening day gimmick. Good WOM is clearly offsetting the frontloaded nature.

$6.75m for Blade Runner 2049 on Saturday so right near $11m so far.  Should hit $15m+ for the weekend.  That is a lot more encouraging than $13.6m

Very very good for this.  I could see it nearing $80M if WOM kicks in.

[Krissykins]

Great opening for Happy Death Day. 

 

Just above Don’t Breathe (rated R and with no release date gimmick).

 

Still very impressive, slashers are back!

Professor Marston's numbers are painful to look at. A $600 PTA, Jesus.

 

Victoria & Abdul is going to cross $20M with ease.

This. I’m pretty sure that it will get a 3.0x for a $80m total, it’s going to be a close battle to the month crown.

Close? Geostorm is going to wipe the floor with the entire movie, no, year!

Could do $25m+ even w/o Awards contention for Dench

We’ll see next weekend how Jigsaw impacts it (if at all).

I'm actually thinking the box office will be enough to propel her into the race alone. FWIW she's currently in my Best Actress predictions (along with Hawkins/McDormand/Robbie/Streep).

Jigsaw is a male oriented franchise, Rated R.

 

HDD is a female oriented movie, PG13.

 

And I’m pretty sure that the first option among GA for a Horror movie this month will be HDD.

 

I doubt it will have any impact. 

[WrathOfHan]

I still don't get why Focus didn't push Victoria and Abdul past 1k theaters.
