Friday evening (4pm and later) at my theater. Super surprised they cut showtimes for I Can Only Imagine. They really slashed the showtimes for Tomb Raider and took it off all their Ultra Screens....embarrassing.

So PRU is not a co-production with China afterall according to Deadline.

 

 

Hmm. I've seen another source directly contradict this. Who to believe?

Demographics play a large role. Hiccup lives in a metro area where the movie is much more appealing; I'm in a rural area with a theater whose audience is primarily compromised of seniors.

Runtimes without credits and trailer attachments for next week:

 

Ready Player One: 2:12. Attachments unknown.

Acrimony: 1:54. Attachments are Overboard (new trailer) and Traffik.

 

GND3 isn't up yet

Exactly.

 

The theater is the largest in central WI and outside of Milwaukee.

 

Here is the receipts. 

• Population: 575,000 people--- doesn't include non-permanent residents aka college students.
• High Schools in Area: 9 
• My area is divided into Eastside and Westside. My theater is on the more highly populated Eastside, which has 6 out of the 9 high schools.
• Colleges: UW: Madison (43,000 students), Edgewood College (1,700 students), and Madison Area Tech College (18,000 students)
• 35% percent of the population is under 24 vs. 10% percent of the population which is over 65.
• It is a very liberal area of the Midwest. Typically 70% of the population votes Democrat. 

So yeah, my area is located in the Midwest, but is more in tune with East Coast and West Coast. It is no surprised Love, Simon is performing well in my area. Black Panther also shattered ceilings as well. The biggest wtf is I Can Only Imagine performing well in my area. This isn't the part of the state it should be selling well but it is. Really says something about the film.

Holy shit, BP is up from Wednesday!

[MaxAggressor]

Deadline's early predictions for BP & Tomb Raider seem a bit too optimistic, doesn't it??

 

Pacific Rim Uprising is expected to finally unseat Black Panther at the box office with a take that’s in the low $20M range to the Marvel title’s sixth weekend of $18M-$19M

 

MGM/Warner Bros.’ Tomb Raider in its second weekend is expected to ease 45% for a take between $12M-$13M. In its first week the Alicia Vikander reboot has grossed $31.2M.

 

If TR follows other mid March openers, it'll gross somewhere between (10.3-10.8) million. Spoke too soon about BP !!!!!!!!!!

 

Weekend scenario for BP:

 

Fri - 4.6m (+120%)

Sat - 7.85m (+70%)

Sun - 5.5m (-30%)

 

Weekend total - (4.6+7.85+5.5) = 17.95 million (-32.64%)

$12-$13 million won't be too bad for Tomb Raider considering the competition.

Yeah, it's not jumping that much on Friday and Saturday; Spring Break is still in effect. Dunno what Deadline is thinking. I could see something like this though:

 

4.4M (+110%)

7M (+60%)

4.7M (-33%)

16.1M Weekend, 40% drop

where did it all go wrong...

[babz06]

Still a poor opening considering the budget. Needs overseas money to break even.

It also had the most boisterous and strongest major studio, with a spectacular 2017.
