New Year's Day Weekend Thread: Late Friday estimates (DHD) - TLJ 19.5M, Jumanji 17.5M, PP3 6.7M, TGS 5.3M

[Wrath]

Just saw Jumanji. That movie is way more fun than I expected, plus its been a LONG time since Jack Black really killed it in something.

 

Its going to have great legs.

It seems like the Ghostbusters reboot, didnt really bring anything new to the table and thats why it failed. Jurassic World had the park actually open and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle let players into the game world. I dont think those crossovers will work; it seems like the concepts/novelties are what is attracting people rather than who are cast.  They need to come up with something new if they reboot MIB, perhaps the agents go to an alien world to solve a case, and they are the actual 'aliens' who are being hunted down? I dunno. 21 Jump Street doesn't gel with that franchise. 

tbh, GB reboot seemed more interesting to me than JW and Jumanji2 when I first heard of them and even after initial promos. Wanted to see the chemistry of the cast in GB2016 and it could have worked very well (O8 will make it happen I feel as far as 'reboot IP with all female cast' thing goes). 

 

I can totally see talented directors like L&M merging JP and MIB worlds. Sometimes feel that ideas seem effortlessly creative vs forced to be different for the sake of it, only in hindsight after we have seen the execution.

For some reason The Rock doesn't strike me as RTH's type.

It's already having great legs, no thanks to The Rock. 

 

 

 

[aabattery]

At least it didn't decrease?

 

(famous last words)

[WrathOfHan]

HOLY FUCK JUMANJI AND TGS  

[a2k]

1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle  (SONY), 3,765 theaters (0) / $17.4M Fri (+44%)/3-day: $50.1M (+38%)/4-day: $66.3M/Total:$185.6M/ Wk 2

 

So....15% bump for 20+ Sat. IMO it will happen. SING never had a 20+ day. JUMANJI after a smaller start will get there. Also 185+ cume vs SING's 180+ cume by Monday. Will be surprising if the dom falls below SING's 270. 

 

SW8 hitting 3x for 660 and beating Titanic, and JUMANJI hitting 300 are gonna be fun to follow. 2017 BO fun not gonna end any time soon.

Molly's Game is quietly doing good business. Better than I expected. Good for Chastain, even if she needs to have her Twitter revoked.

I like your positive outlook haha. I’m about to go add $20. I feel like a soldier going to the front lines of the box office battle.

[Mojoguy]

Deadline says Jumanji had a 17.4M Fri (+44%).

Nice! I hope it goes up!

[a2k]

Ferdi at 4.7 vs Coco 2.9.They were neck and neck on CD with Coco edging Ferdi out 2.805 vs 2.802.

[Ryan Reynolds]

weak for TLJ, toxic wom confirmed. JJ and Ron Howard to direct all future Star Wars films.

[That One Girl]

Damnnnn at Greatest Showman. Could hit 100M.

[La Binoche]

Wait when did TGS get to $50M+? I also noticed it has a 90% audience rating on RT. It looks terrible but good for Michelle Williams, I guess. 

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

The Post staying flat is a bit disappointing. I guess there was somewhat of a rush in metro areas? It shouldn't have the same issue when it goes wide.
