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

83m 3-day like Deadline suggests would be solid with a crappy Sunday.

The premise always seemed weird and a tough sell, and the reviews didn't help one bit either. Just goes to show if you're an adult-targeted film opening at a time of year when a bunch of Oscar contenders are opening and don't have much to offer, you're screwed.

 

Premise was interesting.

 

Too much Monday morning quarterbacking going on.

Don't worry. Your account is safer than TLJ's year crown...

Lulz at that Father Figures number. It looked like a dump job tho so no surprise there.

I'm still kinda curious about Downsizing despite the reviews 

[WrathOfHan]

Why is Deadline going so high on TLJ's 3 day? It's clearing going below 70M.

DAMN @ those Jumanji and PP3 increases! 30M looks good for Jumanji, and PP3 can probably hit 27M

Good to see Showman go up a little bit

Darkest Hour is going to outgross Father Figures in nearly a quarter of its theaters  Definitely think it's in for a good expansion next week as theaters slash FF's showtimes

Disappointing expansion for SOW. I'll echo what @tonytr87 said and say Searchlight is waiting too long to expand. The film is something that could've opened in 2k+ theaters out of the gate. It can still do well in January after Oscar nominations come out, but its chances of breaking out are gone.

A shame that The Post went down a bit. Limited numbers aren't as crucial for this movie as other expansions like CMBYN, though.

Any filmmaker can stumble a bit but Alexander Payne has been pretty reliable so to hear Downsizing isn't good is a bit of a surprise

@a2knet, you seem to be on top on sequel drops and raises. Do you have a list for this year?

i didn't calculate the drops and raises but dug out this post

Quote

Good sequels, bad sequels, everything is falling: CARS3, APES3, DADHO2, K2, BAD MOMS2, POTC5, TF5, JL, ALIEN:C, F8, 50SHADES2, BOO!2, NUTJOB2, DM3

[Interestingly CARS3 is the only one with a ~20% from it's predecessor. All else dropped well above 20%. Let's see what SW8 does, ~750m gives it a 20% drop]

 

GOTG2, ANNA2, THOR3, JWICK2 (+114%) increased.

I'm skeptical of Deadline's numbers but I like them and hope they're true.

[DAR]

I don't know why but it doesn't feel like we had that many sequels

I think the limited releases will take advantage of some of the openers (mostly just Downsizing and obviously Father Figures) not doing very well and expand quite a bit over the next two weeks. Especially with only one wide opener (Insidious 4) set to open between now and MLK JR weekend.

Don't forget Molly's Game in 1,500 theaters (which could go down if the limited numbers aren't encouraging)

It’s not going to miss 70, but I think it will have a hard time getting to Deadline’s 83 prediction. Probably will be mid-70’s.

Sony is back.

 

$200m guaranteed for Jumanji.

 

 

Watch Jumanji 2 tank in Summer 2019.

If numbers hold, 700+ is back on track.

I think that 700M has always been on track. People just jumped to negative conclusions cause the movie wasn't in the real holiday stretch of its run but in shopping-schools-work one. from this weekend onward, things will look much better.

You did - it's a good thing no one was spiking the football of how expert they were before that number came out:).
