[Cap]

AQP is coming. 

 

[Jonwo]

Horror is having a resurgence, oddly AQP not only just a success for Paramount but also Michael Bay as he's one of the producers!

 

It'll be interesting who gets the number 2 spot between RPO and Blockers, I think RPO might edge it

Amazing. Sidenote..but SXSW is really delivering in terms of buzz with Baby Driver,  RP1 and now AQP.

And Blockers also looking good w/that previews number. A Game Night multiplier off of a mid 20's opening would get it to 90-100M range at the very least.

 

But yeah, AQP's number is batshit crazy, especially for an entirely original PG-13 horror movie. It could challenge a 50M OW. The Bluntzinski Era has just begun

[Jay Beezy]

Can it reach Get Out final numbers if it opens high enough? Truth or Dare *has* to be a non-issue at this point even though it’ll make a cheap profit.

[Godzilla]

Paramount must be stoked. They desperately needed this.

They’re actually called the Krunts.

Horror is so bankable right now. The Nun will do a 70 million OW

Seriously. They've been on a rough run the past two years or so.

Bluntzinski sounds more classy.

[TwoMisfits]

Hurray for 2 more premier movies lighting up the box office!

 

Although to be a little bit Debbie Downer, I won't jump too far on the biggest posted Friday numbers from some of you yet...matinees where I am are slow for AQP (although we are not in spring break), and there's only so high Friday can go with only 7pm and 9:30pm sellouts (which I'm expecting, but which also aren't there yet)...

assume frontloading.  School break for some.  Annabelle did 35 from 4 million Thursday.  Similar ratio would give A Quiet Place 37.625

A Quiet Place is coming for a 40M OW.

 

I think $50m+ might be possible.

Not to mention, this is the highest rated movie that has Michael Bay’s name attached to it.

 

It’ll be funny when this outdoes Transformers 5.

If The Nun does $35-40m in September, it'll be considered a hit, not everything has to reach the heights of IT or AQP

[dxmatrixdt]

The Miracle Season should be north of 100K.  There were 5pm previews and it probably played in at least 1,000 spots as it is going at 1,707 today.

Bunion removal and date local moms. These ads crack me up.

BOT underestimating another horror film
