Silver and Black hasn't even got a script written, it's not going to ready for February and The New Mutants is iffy, the delay by 10 months and reshoots doesn't fill me with hope. 

 

I would not be surprised if one of the many December films moves to February. 

Halloween likely will do very well, whether it can do over $55m OW remains to be seen. 

New Mutants may be in the GI Joe:Retaliation situation. Yes December is smashed in but it should be interesting what moves.

 

Halloween will do more likely north of $40 million ow if it’s good. $50 million ow if they bring in the nostalgic horror crowd, and the millenals in thanks to social media which Blumhouse is great at! Just as long as it’s not a Cult Of Chucky then I’m down.

Awesome! Are you able to give more of a breakdown of other cities? I felt like this movie would blow up on the east coast and the south, especially cities like Atlanta, Houston, DC, Chicago, Memphis, etc, etc.

 

Is SC coming through at all?

LA, NYC performing normal levels over performing Chi, Atlanta,Washington Philly,Houston , Columbia quite few others

Canada pretty much normal level

 

[Blankments]

also sony is REALLY dumb for rushing out that Venom teaser, especially when they have Spider-Verse coming out. That would've been a much better trailer for them to put with Black Panther than Venom-without-Venom

[Jandrew]

The thing about Lion King is, seriously, how different can it really look from Jungle Book? $400M is doable, but man, yall are getting pretty lofty with it. I can't see it ever replicating and conjuring the same love we show for the original.

I knew Columbia would show out. Knew all those cities would. East coast is repping this one, not the west!

 

Thanks!

Looks like even if Sunday is underestimated by 5-6m, 200m would still be a hair out of reach.  Too bad this isn’t Paramount recessing BP, they’d know what to do.

my plan this July is to put up a Finding Dory Still #1 Animated Movie DOM club next year because I don't think Lion King Remake will top it

 

(and YES Lion King "live-action" is an animated movie.)

It will surpass Beauty and the Beast numbers. Its been decades and the Broadway shows based on the movie still do well.

Btw Early Man is SHOCKINGLY bad. Like I didn't know I could dislike an Aardman movie so much. Wish I had seen Black Panther again instead

the spectacle of the Broadway show is a lot more obvious than just CG

 

Jungle Book 2016 only works because live-action Mowgli grounds us. Lion King doesn't have that

[aabattery]

If that 55M is true, BP is gonna have the 4th best Sunday of all-time.

It’ll do amazing. The Lion King is beloved as hell. People won’t care as long as the CG is freaking amazing. They already know that there are no humans in the story.
