Both numbers for the bigger new releases disappoint me a lot. But - let's say HT 3 gets to 16M on Friday - isn't the muliplier a bit too pessimistic for a so far quite well liked family film?

It would still only be a $12.1M true Friday (with $2.6M Thurs previews and $1.3M June 30 previews).

 

So, 12.1 + 15.7 (+30%) + 12 (-24%) + 3.9 = 43.7M

 

Still not gonna get much higher unless it goes higher than $16M today...

Damn that skyscraper number!! Rip.

Is Sorry To Bother You opening in more theaters? 

 

My theater had a display for it and yet it’s not playing there this weekend.

 

Biggest tease of my life since my prom night

What exactly has Vin done outside of Fast and Furious recently??

 

Voiceover work (saying 3 words) doesn’t count and he wasn’t a draw, by any stretch of the imagination lol. 

 

Rock just has to reply easily to Vin: “Jumanji”

[Valonqar]

I certainly hope AM&TW stays above 30M cause those predictions of doom (cough$29Mcough) were just 

 

Toldja Skyscraper looked generic and would not break out.

Something tells me it's about to fare really poorly this weekend (as in sub-$2M from 800 theaters) and quickly fade from here due to theaters dropping it fast. Annapurna strikes out again; hopefully they'll finally get it together in time for Backseat or Cheney or whatever they're calling it in December.

I thought Skyscraper was pretty good.  Most of it actually caught me by surprise.  Neve Campbell is in it.  Hotel Transylvania 3 was good, but I have not seen the first two.  Both movies threw stuff at the screen and it was pretty colorful and entertaining, but I think if you were reviewing them like Ratatouille, maybe the wrong crunch on a piece of something and the review is soiled rotten.

 

Skyscraper - (B-)82%

Hotel Transylvania 3 - (C+)77%

 

Look for all these movies to hold well, -25% in the coming weeks up against Mi6 and for Mi6 to tank with 40 OW and spread the wealth among other movies like Incredibles, Ant-Man, and Jurassic World

That'd be an unprecedented PTA collapse. I imagine the reviews and WOM from the past week will drive it higher.

Skyscraper didn't need a 125 million budget.  Should have slashed half of that. 60/65 million should have been reasonable.

 

I really liked it, probably because I had low expectations. 

 

The Rock is in everything. He's the male Jennifer Lawrence. He should rest his image a little bit.

Legendary is lucky they were part of JW and Mamma Mia! because their track record with Universal hasn't been great. 

 

If HT3 does do $40-42m then that's not great for Sony although it'll be profitable as the budget is only $65m

 

LOL how is that not great for Hotel Transylvania part 3? It's not like it's a Minions movie or a Pixar brand. It's going to do exactly what everyone pegged it to do. I think it's great number and I'm sure studio will be happy with it. That's for skyscraper I don't see what looked so bad about it. It had a fantastic trailer and a likeable star and I was very excited to see it. I just don't get why it opens so softly.

I don't know, I've been looking around for tonight and it's selling abysmally everywhere. I'm just hoping that it can reach $3M (for a PTA of nearly $4K) since it's probably too "out there" to become a mainstream success.

Not more The Rock isn't really a star because he has a disappointment talk. Brad Pitt can't sell every film either and yet people don't like discussing that for some reason. The bias against The Rock here is overwhelming.

Is it just me or did Adidas become big overnight?

 

I bought some nice sneakers and I swear I had 4 people say, nice one.

Where did the budget go? At least you can see with something like Rampage where they spent the budget? I'm guessing Legendary got a bit overexcited about a Dwayne Johnson film. 

 

I'd like to see a Dwayne Johnson-J-Law film, maybe an action comedy of some sort

Sorry to Bother You is selling pretty well at my theater but I also live in Baltimore which is a majority black city (Girls Trip performed like a Marvel movie at my theater)

Skyscraper tanking really isn't his fault at all. The problem was that the movie looked like it literally rolled off an assembly line in a factory. No amount of starpower could've overcome that.
