BOM's Sunday headline:

 

"Lara Croft's Tomb Raided by Black Panther. Gives Natalie Portman's Annihilated Buttcheeks a Breather."

Wasn't GITS at 1.8M?

[Cmasterclay]

Huh, lil better than I expected, but frontloaded enough to be meaningless also. Could do anything from 15-28 with that number. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

I think that’s a good positioning for mid to low 20s.

for adaptation of game with big fandom

2.1M ain't bad. Should guarantee it stays with pre-release expectations.

It was, but there’s no reason for TR to be as frontloaded as that

Greg Berlanti’s teenage gay romance Love, Simon earned $850K from 2,125 locations for a $400 per location average. Fox is excited about the result citing that the top 10 theaters came from seven different markets: LA, NY, Dallas, Orlando, Toronto, SF, Boston. Love, Simon was made for a reported $10M with a 3-day in the low-to-mid teens. The pic is currently 89% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The comp here is MGM/Alloy’s teen romance Everything, Everything which earned $525K in previews and a $11.7M opening.

Is Tomb Raider's fandom really that big? I somehow doubt it tbh. 

 

Decent preview number. 

[WrathOfHan]

Holy shit @ Love Simon's budget  It's already at 1.6M with last night and Saturday

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

I think Tomb Raider is safe to get past 20m with those previews. 

[filmlover]

Not too bad of a number. Should do around $10M today (unless extremely frontloaded) and low-to-mid-$20M for the weekend. 

 

Good number for Love, Simon as well.

Looks like Ready Player One will be the first film to topple Black Panther since neither Sherlock Gnomes nor PRU will do it next weekend
