A Quiet Place is still going to hit 50M IMO. I don't see it decreasing today.

Isle of Dogs is slowing down a lot. I don't know if it can manage a 2,500 PTA next week

50 is very likely as long as it stays flat (0-5% down from Fri)

19 + 19 + 12 (-37%) = 50 // This Sun hold will easily be beat

19 + 18 (-5%) + 13 (-28%) = 50 // Opening Sunday holds are usually better than subsequent ones for big openers due to spill from a saturated Sat and this hold is achievable too

[WrathOfHan]

For some anecdotal evidence, A Quiet Place is selling a LOT better at my theater today than yesterday

This is the end of Universal. Blumhouse should re-think their contract. Truth or Dare is gonna flop next week.

A Quiet Place is having a stellar opening weekend. A stellar opening for a stellar movie. Unless I'm forgetting something it's the best horror movie that I've seen since IT. 

 

RPO drop will be OKAY. The people who wanted it to bomb will not get their wish because the overseas numbers are too good. If it doesn't make a profit theatrically it will make one afterwards. It's not a flop no matter how much some wanted it to be. RPO ain't doing stellar numbers here in the states but at least it didn't flop overseas like the supremely overhyped A Wrinkle in Time.

 

Blockers opening is really good. It's not going to be that far above Game Night's opening weekend though. Doubt it has Game Night's legs but can't rule anything out completely. 

 

Black Panther is still chugging along like the unstoppable juggernaut that it is. Should end with around 700mil one way or the other. I Can Only Imagine continues doing great numbers. Better this be the Christian movie success than that hate filled God's Not Dead tripe.

Just slap this logo on it

Ugh for Ready Player One

[grey ghost]

So BP still has a legit shot at 700 m DOM?

So, is A Quiet Place coming for Oscar noms? At the very least I can see it score an Original Screenplay nom.

 Probably will win sound editing and sound mixing

[WrathOfHan]

Paramount lost Dick Cheney, so they have no Oscar contenders this fall. They're definitely going to push A Quiet Place pretty hard.

[harrycaul]

It's nice to see a small indie producer like Michael Bay finally make some money.

[WrathOfHan]

Btw, Chappaquiddick is further demonstrating Entertainment Studios' pattern of hit/bomb.

If Paramount wants to push it, it does have a shot.

Doesn't look good for Rampage being sandwiched between AQP and IW.

Don’t count out Rampage just yet.

Well, never doubt The Rock (unless he's in a movie that looks as outright bad as Baywatch did). Plus, there was another giant gorilla movie sandwiched between two big releases in March of last year, and look how that turned out.

Technically, Hostiles flopped too. 31.7M WW on a production budget of 39M isn't a hit imo. It was just cushioned by somewhat outdoing the low expectations pre-limited release (if I recall correctly).

And if Get Out can get some after opening in a February, this should be able to get some as well.

It actually did better than I initially thought it would. Guess the aggressive TV ad push somewhat paid off.

[Zakiyyah6]

I adore AQP but I honestly don't see it pulling a Get Out at the Oscars. I would love to be wrong but I see technical noms at best.

Truth or Dare box office will be weak but it’ll still make a profit because Blumhouse.
