Valonqar Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Book Club is a beast and should encourage Hollywood to make more movies for underserved audience. It's a win-win. Cheap to make, good opening, loong legs. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfran43 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) I'm betting the theater increase will push this movie into the top 10 this weekend, ahead of IW! Edited June 28, 2018 by sfran43 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a win-win. Cheap to make, good opening, loong legs. This is the kind of film that is basically extinct now. It's an adult film, made for adults, that has ageing female stars and is dependent on legs, not opening weekend. It's a risky movie for sure, but one that will show profit, just not a ton of it. But it's one of my favourite films of the year and I have recommended it to everyone. Most people I know have enjoyed it. It's also funny, timely and it speaks to a generation that doesn't have strong numbers at this site. It's no wonder most here thought it would go quietly into the night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of extinct movies, Titanic was just an amazing gamble. That genre was literally dead and Titanic didn't revive it but became a one-off sensation. I guess studios were scared of the risk still. Ditto Great Gatsby. It did amazing but didn't set the trend of lavishly-produced counter-programming to summer blockbusters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLJ -35% JW:FK: -28.3% TLJ: -35.4% The enormous drop in China from $124m to $42m adds a couple of % points to that SW drop - without that it would be a 31% drop.
