Nice to see the Romantic Comedy genre finally having a hit. It’s been dead since How Do You Know flopped. 

Well, CRA got about 1000X the publicity of How Do You Know.

 

Give any movie that kind of fawning publicity and it will make money.

[Dragon]

I saw crazy rich Asian last night. So cute. Hope keep making mula.

[Dragon]

Oh and the Meg too. Hilarious. I missed fun shark film.

Happytime Murders had a lot of publicity from the first trailer but there was literally no follow up after that. Feels like the studio gave up on it completely.

Well, as they say, you can't polish a turd.

Weird to think AXL is doing much better than I predicted. I had it at less than 600k for Friday, and around 1.6 for the weekend. 

 

Yay Global Road!

Yeah, I had it pegged for a $1.5M opening but is gonna nearly double that. Those mall promotions really paid off!

[excel1]

What about THE DARK KNIGHT rerelease

Holy Shiy at CRA! Damn impressive, wouldn't be surprised if it’s WB’s biggest film DOM this year. 

Is it getting to 300M domestic?

[DAJK]

Crazy Rich Asians more like crazy Rich executives who have money invested in this thing 

[Webslinger]

I... really don't have any words for that Crazy Rich Asians hold. It's going to have an insanely leggy run.

This time of the year has leggy runs.

Even shitty films like sucide squad has a leggy run.
