Well, TCU has lived after Annabelle, can live and after Corin Hardy.

I imagine if there is a Nun 2 and I think there will be, they’ll probably replace the director and perhaps the screenwriter. They did that with Annabelle Creation and that lead to improved reception and box office.

Exactly

 

 

plus the Conjuring 2 fell 63%. The Nun will reach the heights of the recent entries despite the second weekend drop. That’s why I said I doubt they’ll care. They don’t have to do a Nun 2.

@KeepItU25071906 is your icon a photo shopped Nicolas Cage as The Nun or is it just a happy coincidence?

I think they care but it's more like "guys, we know what we have to do". And also I suppose the Gary Dauberman has a good chance not to be a director of the "Annabelle 3". Cause after one fuck-up franchise can easily recover, it already did this before, but the second bad movie in a row... I don't think producers don't understand what can happen in this case...

They've skipped Mission Impossible and the multi for The Meg and The Nun (especially The Meg) look way off

[sfran43]

If Christopher Robin makes it pass $92M this weekend, no way in hell would Disney pass up the opportunity to push it over the $100M mark like they did with AWIT!

I doubt they'll need to push it at all. 

 

It can easily do $8m more off a $3.5m w/e especially when it's having such good week to week drops. 

 

PD dropped 51% after LD w/e for a $3.1m total and did $6.1m more.  Even with the same drops after this w/e CR would be near $99m and it's holding far better.

In India, The Nun is the biggest OD for a Hollywood horror movie and second biggest OD for any horror movie.

I wonder if The Nun could see a Watchmen-esque multiplier with the opening making up over half the total.

46 mln OW - 88 mln total? Let's see...

[Premium George]

Nun was a empty movie. Hype for this was insane around the world. With good jump scares, could have reached beyond $400m.

[Napoleon]

WB #1 every day since The Meg.

[Ithil]

My father was a nun. Anytime he was up in court, and the judge asked him his occupation, he'd say "Nun!".

[filmlover]

Next week:

 

The Predator: $28M

A Simple Favor: $13M

White Boy Rick: $6M

Unbroken 2: $2M

Seems a bit optimistic for Predator? Or are the pre-sales better than expecting

Predators opening adjusts to almost $30M with nearly a decade of inflation, which seems doable for this. I imagine legs will be similarly poor.

SOmeone said the Nun was an “empty” movie and I think that’s the perfect way to describe it. The sets and design of the movie looked awesome, but it felt hollow inside. Amateur direction in some scenes and weak story.
