I hope Ethan knows better to support a Kevin Spacey joint.

 

This was actually made before Baby Driver FYI so it's been sitting on the shelf for a while. Judging by its crummy RT score of 13% (albeit with just 8 reviews), they should've just let it stay there.

[La Binoche]

Oh yeah there's no way CRA doesn't do 100M. The audience LOVED it, even though it's shallow and mediocre.

Crazy Rich Asians is having a really great Saturday bump at my theatre. Given how wack Alpha's been playing here though, I don't know how much trust I should put in that when expecting something like 10M for Saturday for CRA.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

CRA was solid. Had a lot more fun in the first half, but the second half added an emotional depth not normally seen in rom coms. Had a good time, the audience loved it.

Amazing for Crazy Rich Asians, it will come much closer to We 're the Millers 5-day than anyone expected.

 

The Meg drop is also impressive, seems to be having solid WOM, it opens here on Thursday and can't wait to watch it.

Great for Crazy Rich Asians.

 

Solid drop for The Meg, despite the actual film lol. 

[a2k]

5.8

9.0 (+55%)

5.9 (-35%)

= 20.7 (-54.4%)

20.7 gives 83.3 10-day for Meg.

 

If it adds 2.5x this weekend to it's cume

83.3 + 20.7*2.5 = 135.1

 

Would be fun if it beats studio siblings RPO (137) and O8 (138.6).

 

If Meg does 135-140 dom and 145-150 China, then 500 ww is not out of question.

[Valonqar]

Not much else to say. Great for CRA and not unexpected cause it's a total crowd pleaser. WOM should be strong. 

 

The Meg is holding really well for this type of the movie. They usually fall off the cliff but 54% is excellent.

AMATW was way more of a rom-com than DP2. The first DP was 100% a rom-com dragged up as superhero action movie. The second, not so much. 

This. How the fuck is DP2 a romcom? First one was (all about Wade and Vanessa) but the second one was about the awful fat Kiwi kid.

Could this year be the beginning of the return of the Rom-Comedy?  Set It Up, Crazy Rich Asians, Deadpool 2, etc

Tag, Game Night and Blockers actually did nice business
