I have to say those TLJ numbers are atrocious. This film's had awful legs and it's honestly mind blowing how bad those legs are.

its not a crowd pleaser and overlong

Yeah I know why they're bad but it's still pretty astronomical how bad they're ending up being.

Glad to see TLJ at #3 instead of behind all the new openers.

i agree, below a 3x multiplier during holiday means the majority did not like it, you can't spin that

Against all odds, Jumanji went from being the movie no one wanted to see to being a movie that's nearing 300m DOM.

Fuck that Paddington number. Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

That movie deserves better than a measly 2.6M Friday. What the Fuck America. What the actual fuck. Y'all need to be more like Canada; Paddington was our busiest movie at my theatre tonight and deservedly so.

 

Fuck this

Wow at Paddington. Very disappointing result for it considering what a great film it is.

I never thought it’d do that great with American audiences.

Your just looking at a single theater, and unfortunately it often seems like it's an outliner.

 

Still that number sucks hard! I haven't even seen Paddington 2 yet, and I know it deserves so much better. 

[junkshop36]

Sorry, but I don’t think a movie having a 2.8x, regardless of its OW, is atrocious. 

 

BvS with a 1.99? That’s atrocious

Yea, I totally understand how looking at one small sample size is often going to mean that there will be outliers on each side of the norm. All I'm really saying with that post is that Paddington deserved so much better. It did really well here, and I just wish it had done well everywhere

For the holiday season and a SW movie yeah that's pretty atrocious.

The first Paddington was such a good film, that hearing that the sequel is just as good if not better means I'd probably really enjoy it. Unfortunately most moviegoers in NA just weren't interested in a follow-up, and the film was a bit unlucky to get a new distributor (WB), at the last minute. I hope the film has good legs, but I'm not pleased it didn't do better.

Paddington better have a fucking 7x multi to make up for this nonsense. 

[titanic2187]

if the figure for three billboard holds, it will be super great!

 

200%+ increase of theater count correspondingly increase by 200%+ in box office?  it's rare! 2nd live for 3B!!

By the way, I finally got around to seeing Jumanji and I know you have all been waiting for my take on it.

 

It's fine. Had an enjoyable enough time with it. 6.9/10.

Hahaha get fucking real! The majority of people didn’t like it?! Are you out of your mind? The movie will end up with $400M AFTER opening weekend! That’s a shit load of money even for a whole run and that’s after opening. The vast majority of people love the movie and anything else is both bullshit and spin and you know it.

[DAJK]

Also saw Commuter tonight. It was alright, I like Neeson enough and I think Serra's a pretty good director. For the first two acts I was thinking this is much much better than Non-Stop, but there was just something off about the end. Can't quite put my finger on it yet though.

 

Can't complain about its box office, since its doing better than Paddington so far apparently 

[AniNate]

I don't like to blame the weather but it was the reason I went immediately home Iast night after work and stayed there as opposed to detouring to the movie theater to see Paddington.

TLJ dropped 93.5% in China lol
