This movie better not get Devil Inside's legs, lol.

 

 

It's impossible for any movie to have legs that bad.

Horror is cheap so it's profitable even with bad legs but I think studios have seen with the likes of The Conjuring franchise, IT, Split and Get Out that a good horror can have legs. IT for example attracted a much wider audience compared to your average horror.

Damn that’s a really good number

It's a really entertaining film. I guess Chastain's twitter account hasn't repelled everyone.

I agree! XD

Well Universal's 2018 is off to a good start. PP3 is a nice holdover and will top $100 million soon and I:TLK just did almost 3x its budget in its OW.

I don't question studios, I question people who watch this lazy shit over and over again.

I think it’ll have a 2.25x

 

$29.27M x 2.25 = 65.86M

Good for Sorkin.  It makes all those Sony e-mails about Jobs even more amusing in retrospect.

I didn't know it had added 170 theatres but yes, that's a good number and a good PTA for weekend 10.

Yes!! based on DHL

 

Update Sunday AM: Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is up to $36.3M for the weekend, but the biggest gain was made by Universal/Blumhouse/Stage 6’s Insidious: The Last Key with $29.3M over 3 days after a Saturday where there wasn’t as much falloff with $11M, -13%.

 

Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi is taking 3rd with $24.3M, a tad higher than expected with a running cume of $573.3M.

STXfilms/eOne/Mark Gordon Company’s Molly’s Game is also higher, now filing $7M in its second weekend in 7th, ahead of Focus Features’ Darkest Hour which earned $6.4M.

Decent for Molly's Game, the movie cost $30m so I imagine it'll profitable if it does $90-100m WW, it's being distributed by different distributors WW so I expect the film itself has made its budget back

 

Darkest Hour did fine but clearly Oldman as Churchill isn't a draw to US audience unlike Dench as Queen Victoria. It'll do a lot better in the UK because it's Churchill and WWII

 $30m, that's high for a contemporary Indie drama.  I gather it had higher than usual above the line and long development costs.

Jumanji's killing it, is this what good december WOM truly looks like?
