KINS Weekend Thread: 3 Day estimates: CRA make crazy rich #s with $22.2 million, TM Chomps On $10.5 million, M:IF doesn’t fall with $7 million, OF $6 million, Searching finds $5.7 million, KIN does $3 million.

[dxmatrixdt]

decent numbers for everything so far, but not where I think they should be.

[dxmatrixdt]

Searching out of the top 5 on movietickets.com sales today.

Operation Finale still #2 on MT.com, but it shouldn't be #2 on Pulse.

Little Strangers was selling good Thursday on Pulse, but it flopped.  Slender Man should be the horror movie to beat this long weekend.

This weekend isn’t terrible but nothing oustanding either. I think WB May pass a $1 billion this weekend right before The Nun comes out. 

[MattW]

A month ago I thought Fallen Kingdom could hit 420 but that's out of reach now, with the expansion probably makes it to about 416-417.

Having seen CRA today, I can see why it's done so well domestically.

[Napoleon]

This Kin movie is the second bomb this summer "from the producers of Stranger Things and Arrival" that arrives at theaters without me ever hearing about it before

Complete and utter garbage.

I just noticed The Little Stranger did $117K yesterday oof. But then Focus did nothing to promote it so.

[Zakiyyah6]

Kin looks like a straight to streaming movie and not a good straight to streaming movie.

interesting read for Kin on Deadline

Crashing to earth this weekend is Lionsgate’s sci-fi Dennis Quaid-James Franco-Zoe Kravitz family pic Kin, which is being turned to moon dust with a $3.1M three-day and $3.9M four-day. A lot of this feels like Labor Day deja vu all over again. Remember when Fox released the Ridley Scott-produced sci-fi horror Morgan over the holiday two years ago? Like Kin, which has a 35% Rotten Tomatoes score, Morgan was pummeled by critics and went belly-up over four days, with a $2.5M opening and final domestic of $3.9M. The only difference is that CinemaScore crowds enjoyed Kin a bit better than Morgan, B+ to C+. Lionsgate acquired Kin pre-packaged. We hear it’s a slow film and word is Lionsgate kept their P&A spend low here and focused ~$15M, knowing the tepid response. They’re bound to lose dollars. Some cast members like Kravitz (not Franco, who has a small role) actually promoted the film. The pic had to go wide so as to trigger its output deals, and given how a genre of any size (big or small) has a presence over Labor Day, it’s the best weekend for this film to catch any flies, even if it’s tanking, especially before New Line’s The Nun takes over next weekend with a now $40M-plus start.

The OS rejection is flat out hilarious though. Literally every other blockbuster this year has made more OS than a Star Wars movie. Star Wars hasn’t been able to build a following in the emerging markets thereby hurting it when traditional markets disappoint.

And I absolutely don't buy the excuse that the reason is lack of familiarity with OT and PT. BS. Most SH movies leg way behind team up movies and yet audience that skipped some individual movies flocks to Avengers movies. AIW made over 1.3B OS alone even though average individual SH movie makes about 400M OS on average. New SW movies simply don't connect with emerging markets for whatever reason that isn't just mehness about OT/PT and sticking Asian and Latino actors into the cast doesn't fix the lack of appeal at all(quite the contrary, boxoffice went down). 

[Napoleon]

The Last Jedi was just a bad movie, with a boring marketing, and following an already very disappointing SW movie (Rogue One). Don't blame the diverse cast for the franchise's diminishing box office results. Time to move on, JJ Abrams will make audiences excited for Star Wars again.

Not so sure about the last sentence, TFA wasn't good either.

[Zakiyyah6]

Can't wait to see that 200mil plus number for MI6.
