4-day Weekend Thread: 5-day numbers per BOM - TLJ 99.0M, J:WTTJ 55.4M, PP3 26.4M, TGS 14.4M, F 10.1M, C 8.2M, D 7.7M and an incredible $5,480,000 for Father Figures

[WrathOfHan]

I think the only movies to start worse than Downsizing on RT this year are The Snowman, Just Getting Started, and Suburbicon. Poor Matt Damon

Woof @ Downsizing's score  

Speaking of audience scores, the other day I was looking at Ferdinand's RT page, and the audience score dropped all the way to 44%. December 15 was the day childhood died.

That 2.36x Suburbicon's previews and 44% of Why Him?'s. Ouch.

I guess that's what happens when there aren't many votes to begin with

Molly's Game is only going into 1,500+ theaters on January 5. Hmm.

They probably think it'll only do well in certain areas (it's opening at a ton of places around here on Monday). No point in oversaturating the theater count.

It's been a bad year for Damon 

[WrathOfHan]

Is WB holding off on Father Figures previews until afternoon estimates are out?

Who'd have thought THE GREAT WALL would be his highest grossing film domestically?

He'll be fine, in the long run at least.

I hope the film avoid a 70% drop this weekend because that gonna be nasty. 

A 70% drop would be good for my derby, so I'm hoping for it.

To be fair, how much of that is Damon backlash in light of his recent comments?

Very little... but it didn't help matters from a PR standpoint.

 

Save for The Martian, Damon's box-office track-record has been soft in recent years and Downsizing was always a weird, chancy project. Payne had been working on it for years and delayed it several times.

Aside from The Great Wall (in which he was at the center of the whitewashing controversy), I wouldn't pin any of the failures of his most recent movies on him. Suburbicon and Downsizing likely sounded like good projects on paper.

Is everyone going to freak out at the Sunday drops?

Do you need to ask?

I wonder if we'll have actuals on Tuesday, or if movie studios will be generous with vacation time.
