For the third weekend in a row, Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is expected to slot No. 1 in its fifth go-round at the box office with $15M-$16M as wide entries 12 Strong from Alcon/Black Label Media/Warner Bros. and Den of Thieves from STXfilms and Diamond Film Productions hit the marquee.

 

Den of Thieves drew a solid $950K last night in its Thursday night shows and will play at 2,432 locations with an eye at a three-day in the high single digits. 12 Strong from producer  Jerry Bruchheimer earned $900K, which is sync with such war pic comps as Hacksaw Ridge ($750,000 Thurs, $15.2 FSS) and Michael Bay’s 13 Hours ($925,000 Thurs, $19.2m FSSM). The movie based on Doug Stanton’s book Horse Soldiers about the first Special Forces team deployed too Afghanistan after 9/11 is expected to bring in $15M.

The subscription service isn’t just content offering customers bargain-basement tickets to movies. Like the streaming service it is most often compared to, MoviePass is diving into the content business.

 

Using the Sundance Film Festival as a platform, MoviePass announced that it was creating a subsidiary, dubbed MoviePass Ventures, and will co-acquire films with film distributors. Details are a bit vague, but MoviePass said it plans to release film across other platforms including streaming, DVD and on-demand.

It'll be in the top 5 with plenty of room. Topping the OW has a decent chance.

Another example that there is gonna be a floor for all generic adult-skewing wide releases this year:)...

And people say Gerard Butler isn't a draw.

They have to pay for all of those tickets somehow.

Pablo Schreiber is the real draw here

The Post is expected to ease 45% in its second wide weekend with an estimated $10.6M per industry calculations. The current running cume for the Steven Spielberg-directed pic is $33M.

 

Lionsgate/StudioCanal’s The Commuter currently with a first week of $19M will be down 50% to 55% for a second weekend in the $6M range.  

 

Paddington 2 from Warner Bros./StudioCanal will be down 40% to 45% in weekend 2 which will also be in the same range as Commuter.

Well BoS is the better film. But I don't see TP dipping below $12M.

To be fair The Post had a holiday weekend so a higher drop was expected. 

 

It's interesting that 12 Strong has no WB involvement other than distribution, Black Label funded it and Alcon are doing the P&A, no wonder they didn't put much marketing muscle into it.
