I feel like while Sony was never that bad. Paramount tho, that shit is a zombie walking after years buried in the grave that just found the cure and became human again.

Sounds like @Trolltastic Tele's life story.

I was talking about the big 6 here. Lionsgate was slightly above Paramount in my books, tho.

do you know which one MGM is with?  they opened Death Wish like 6 weeks ago.

Just to think that a 17M budgeted horror movie is going to outgross the fifth Transformers movie and it will be Paramount's biggest DOM earner since Star Trek Beyond 

[YM!]

Remember how Kong had shitty presales and did a $60M OW. Just saying.

I only have Rampage opening at 35M next week. If AQP hits 55-60M, it stands a good shot at repeating.

Borg vs McEnroe is getting a day and date VOD release, so I doubt it's in more than a few hundred theaters.

I'm surprised.  I thought there would be some sort of deal to get it out in screens because it is a Shia Lebouf picture.  Kind of like when Miles Teller opened Bleed for This, Only the Brave, and Thank You For Your Service wide in over 1,000 spots.

Hot damn at that preview number for A Quiet Place.

Annapurna, I think.

And Beyond was a bomb itself. It has been like 50 years since the last Paramount hit. I was a kid when it happened. Paramount having a big hit is like a nostalgic event.

It's most likely getting a very limited release and BOM's listing it as wide is a typo. Would make sense since there's been virtually zero marketing for it.

Very happy to see Blockers and especially A Quiet Place doing big business. 

 

Both great films, both deserve the success. 

 

Take limited notice of online audience scores for Blockers, it’s being attacked for “pushing a feminist agenda” because it has three girls in it and a female director.

I think it does about $45M next weekend. Although there's always at least one casualty when the market is booming and it's not impossible this could be the one, especially with A Quiet Place breaking out so much.

Think Truth or Dare will probably be the casualty rather than Rampage

[Valonqar]

Happy to see both AQP (holy shit the preview!) and Blockers doing great.

BOT underestimating another horror film 

 

Put 54M in the derby and been calling 50M since Wednesday last week.  called a Split-like run back in December/January.

What about rp1, updated final predictions anyone?

[HouseOfTheSun]

All that RPO hype and A quiet place will beat its 4 day in 3 days.

RPO is still doing well, it’s not a flop at all and I imagine that it’s WW total will be a lot more than AQP

It’s a good thing we’re on the Domestic section

Locations for the 4 new films...

3,508 - A Quiet Place

3,379 - Blockers

1,707 - The Miracle Season

1,560 - Chappaquiddick 

(+389) - Isle of Dogs

=10,543 bookings

 

Guessing what it could look like with the same # (10,543)

4,000 - Rampage

3,243 - Truth or Dare

(+1,500) - Isle of Dogs

= 8,743

+1,200 - Sgt. Stubby

+600 - Borg vs.  McEnroe

= 10,543 bookings. 

[baumer]

Do we really need to attack Ready Player One in order to Hype up how well a quiet place is doing? I mean both films are doing great so I don't see the need downplay one in order to make the other one look better.

I have it passing 107 after Thursday.  

26 weekend #2 + 10 weekdays = 108 - This weekend

15 weekend #3 + 6 weekdays = 139 - Rampage

10 weekend #4 + 4 weekdays = 153 - I Feel Pretty

5 weekend #5 + 2 weekdays = 160

+10% = 176

 

best case scenario... it could hit 100m after this weekend and double.
