Nice start for Meg, though I disagree about 100 being any safe bet yet. We'll see how frontloaded it is. I don't suspect it would hit 100 even with a 40m OW. Either way, this is definitely the biggest shark movie since Deep Blue Sea. If they had gotten control of the budget to something fitting, WB could have had a huge success here. 

August legs. 

 

Suicide Squad dropped 67%+ it's second w/e and still pulled a 2.43 multi.  Even F4 almost it a 2.2x

After seeing that Meg number I guess it was a good idea she was let back in the house.

Just wait for Meg 2

Wow! Based on the RT user comments, I'm pretty sure that CinemaScore won't be pretty for Slender Man.

 

If it follows The Bye Bye Man, then C is what it might be getting. If it gets anything above C, I'll be surprised. Has anybody watched it, yet?

Aug 24 TCs:

 

Happytime: 2,800

AXL: 1,700

 

Searching will be in 2,000 theaters on the 31st

The sequel to The Meg would I presume be based on The Trench although I imagine they'd have to keep Meg in the title so probably Meg 2: The Trench or they could do a semi sequel based on Steve Alten's book The Loch.

I'm shocked Global Road couldn't get it 500-600 more theaters. This could seriously do sub 1.5M on OW

Literally the only marketing I've seen for it anywhere is on the TV screens at Sawgrass last weekend. How long until this "rebooted" Open Road studio closes their doors?

Can Slenderman out gross last years August horror movie Annabelle: Creation?

Dude, you're fucking adamant with Slender Man despite clear evidence that it's not going to do very well, are you its director or producer or something?

I've only gotten the trailer at Ant-Man. It looks so lazy and might as well be a Netflix original lmao

Ikr. Seems like the obvious step forward.

 

Anyway, if this film is a success, there will be TONS of new low-budget Megalodon films lol.

Box Long Range posted for the weekend of Venom!

 

Venom: $40M opening/$85M total

A Star is Born: $30M opening/$117M total

Guess they're betting on Venom being a very bad movie like everyone else is.

I'd be surprised if Venom opened with less than 75mil. I agree about the legs though.
