We can kiss any Miller's MM sequels goodbye at this moment.

Can I be amused that for a holdover on its 2nd weekend, Deadline dropped from a $63M weekend estimate to a $54M weekend estimate in 8 hours?:)  That's not even close (although it will be funnier if it then goes back up, but I don't think it will with that Friday number, but I've been proven wrong before Daddy's Home 2 viewers:)...

lol the second half of the top 10 making less than $2M this weekend. The box office really needed these past two weeks.

Knew everyone was under predicting DH2

Feds were off, though...that is an enormous amount of normally busy adults to add to the pool...

No doubt it added to the pool, but I don't think it quite created another Saturday is all.  We'll see once we have today to compare of course

Perhaps it played more like a family movie than thought.

Jigsaw managed to get past a 2.0 multi this weekend. I know it’s box office isn’t great but it’s doing a LOT better than I ever expected it to, I felt it would do about $20-25 million.

[grey ghost]

I thought 60 m was dead for Bad Moms after the low 3 day OW and the shitty RT rating.

 

The legs have been impressive.

 

Looks like recent comedies are critic proof and tracking proof.

Yeah if it'as at 39.8m after a 11.4m 2nd weekend then adding 20m more to it's cume for 60m is a given I guess. Could do 65-70m too. The prod budget's only 28m so a good win for STX.

Murder on the Orient Express is a solid film so it's no surprise it's opened well although there is some unsubtle product placement in the film which took me out of the film briefly. 

[MCKillswitch123]

Good increase for Thor, and stellar openings for Murder, Daddy's and Billboards. Also, superb holds for Lady Bird and Bad Moms.

[Deja23]

#ThorRagnarok still #1 w/ $18.3M FRI going to about $54M wknd.

Seems solid for just about everything.

[ThomasNicole]

$ 54 - 55M for Thor, good hold

 

$ 300M seems good

[Shawn Robbins]

MOTOE: 10.75

3 Billboards: 102,828

[Finnick]

ORIENT EXPRESS MUCH BETTER WITH $10.75M,

DADDY'S HOME 2 ALSO HOT WITH $10.88M,

Another flop for Paramount. 

 

I know you always want everything to fail for them, but please explain how a 27M+ opening on a 69M budget that was mostly funded by another production company is a “flop” for Paramount

I’d like the schedule. Everything on their would have the advantage to make solid money.

Spoiler

 

Yep, Murder on the Orient Express really could have taken advantage of the barren adult drama market in Sep/Oct. Other than Blade Runner, none of them came close to resonating with a wide audience. It could have even been a perfect release for 8/4 or 8/11, given how weak the summer got from 7/28 on.

 

 

I would have done this if I were Fox:

The Mountain Between Us - 9/1 (wasn't going to do huge numbers regardless of the week, might as well aim for a $15 million 4-day)

Kingsman 2 - 9/22

Murder on the Orient Express - 10/13

Ferdinand - 11/3

The Greatest Showman - 11/22

The Shape of Water - 11/22 (limited release), 12/1 (expansion), 12/8 (wide release), continual expansion throughout Dec/Jan

The Post - 12/8 (limited release), 12/15 (expansion), 12/20 (wide release)
