Freestyle Releasing’s faith-based drama God Bless the Broken Road meanwhile needs prayers if business is going to get any better, filing in with a less than $2M weekend at 1,230 locations. The movie was directed by God’s Not Dead filmmaker Harold Cronk with a script by Cronk and Jennifer Dornbush.

[TalismanRing]

Freestyle’s God Bless the Broken Road is landing in 12th place right now with an unholy $1.3M estimated three-day at 1,235.

Fantastic for Nun. If only the movie was good, the sky would be the limit for it and the Conjuring series going forward. 

[The Dark Rock]

Underwhelming increase for MI6. Hopefully will have solid jump on Sat

[Krissykins]

Fantastic for The Nun, and deserved IMO. 

 

Thats really solid for Peppermint too, the B+ cinemascore shows a bit of disconnect on this one with critics. 

 

Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t get to $200m with those numbers. But it could’ve stopped playing last weekend and still been a massive hit.

Thats whats bothering me too. I could see something like a 55M+ OW and 150M+ DOM total, if the film was...well, good. Now i think it will have a hard time getting anywhere close to the legs of the other films in the franchise.

Great for The Nun considering R rated horror films apparently don’t make money.

What? 

 

The last four Conjuring films were all rated R too

The Nun having the top opening in the franchise is definitely pretty impressive, and even then it didn’t quite meet all of the expectations?!

Good weekend for WB,

 

First Anabelle did 2.27x and probably was the only bad film from Conj Uni. If Nun has similar reception (I haven't seen it) and after accounting from some front-loading does 2.15-2.25x, will get to 107.5-112.5 using 50 ow.

 

If CRA adds 3-4x it's 12.9 weekend to it's cume then gets to 174-187.

 

If MEG adds 2x+ it's 5.2 weekend then gets to 141+.

 

(using Deadline's weekend projections)

I mean... It and Get Out as well. I don't know what strawman he's arguing against there.

[Krissykins]

There’s no room for downplaying The Nuns opening weekend. 

 

It’s the third biggest opening for an R rated horror film ever.

IT "only" made over $320M domestic and $700M WW 

The conjuring franchise as a whole is "only" a billion dollar one. 

 

Man if only they were rated PG13, they'd actually make some money. 

[a2k]

Change Venom to R again Sony! Venom should sell itself as a cross between DP like CBM and Conjuring like Horror.

[DMan7]

The Nun is going to fall like a rock in 2nd weekend with that RT and Cinemascore. 70%+ drop expected.

You really think this movie is going to drop 35% after it dropped 6% last weekend, and 10% this past weekend? Good luck with that. 🤣

 

Cocaine is a helluva drug. 

 

And I will be here next weekend.
