Well I mean RT's audience score is already at 52%, and seeing as howSJW movies usually sink when it comes to the RT Audience cateogry, obviously barring a few exceptions, I feel inclined to believe that, yeah, the movie is probably bad. But hey, go off and be a sexist fuckface I guess.

Members of the forums.....I'll only say this once....and in the immortal words of Cjohn...if you do not abide by this...THE FUCKING BAN HAMMER IS COMING OUT!!!!!!

 

If you want to espouse your opinion that the Munn controversy had something to do with the lower than expected numbers, that's fine.  But the second you start insulting her in any way shape or form, you will be thread banned instantly.  And that's for starters.  Depending on how egregious your insults are, I might just ban you for a week from the entire site.  I'm personally tired of having to babysit some of you motherfuckers.  

 

Poisoning the well is not a cool thing so just try me.  This is your first and final warning.  I'm not fucking around.  

Baumer be like:

 

 

FWIW the Munn controversy didn't help, but I think the weak reviews and unenthusiastic marketing campaign were the real killers for The Predator. Also doesn't help that, like the Terminator and Alien franchises, it's just played out and in need of perhaps a permanent sabbatical.

 

Also those are solid numbers for A Simple Favor and White Boy Rick. Both movies are likely skewing older so high teens and high single digits, respectively, are likely.

kinda disappointing for ASF. I suppose it will make what tracking said

not being sexist at all. Just telling it how it is. Everyone knows that critics can be bought *Anything made by Disney* or they can be politically motiviated *The Last Jedi and Ghostbusters' high review scores* What is the chance that it isn't also SJWs trying to tank the movie because of the controversy.

Why is it disappointing?  I think it has a shot to do somewhere between 17-19 this weekend.

[Lestranger]

Can we start the What Went Wrong talk yet? I point directly to the script.

We've now heard from the loser but we haven't heard from the winner on this prestigious event? @Litio

American Made did 960K and went on to do 17.5 mill for the weekend.  I think ASF could do something similar.

[baumer]

And I think Predator will easily win the weekend.  Can't see The Nun having a good hold.

Lionsgate’s Paul Feig’s dark comedy A Simple Favor earned $900K at 2,400 theaters. The film, which did not play the film festival circuit like Predator at TIFF and White Boy Rick at Telluride and TIFF, has the best reviews of the studio wide entries at 84% fresh. The Anna Kendrick-Black Lively pic is expected to file in the mid teens. A Simple Favor will widen to 3,102 locations today. Next to recent femme-demo pics in their previews, A Simple Favor is higher than last weekend’s Peppermint ($800K Thursday, $4.6M Friday, and $13.4M opening) from STX and just under their Amy Schumer comedy I Feel Pretty ($1M Thursday, $6.2M opening day, $16M three-day).

 

Studio 8/Sony’s White Boy Rick earned $575K last night from 2,176 locations that began at 7PM. Sony moved this one around the calendar from Jan. 26 to Aug. 17 to finally this weekend. A TIFF launch likely had plenty to do with the Matthew McConaughey gritty crime pic finding a place in September in a tee-up for awards season. The RT score has improved on White Boy Rick to 61% fresh (it was previously in the Rotten realm). While critics are divided on this pic, hopefully the increased positive sentiment will push this $30M budget movie (before tax credits) past its $8M-$10M weekend projection. Other comps here: BlacKkKlansman posted a $650K Thursday before its $10.8M opening (that pic is now up to $44.6M stateside off a 95% certified fresh RT score and A- CinemaScore) and Detroit did $525K before earning a lackluster $7.1M opening.

Hahahaha...you're right....I was looking at the weekend multiplier.  Oh my god....thanks for correcting me.  

[Maxmoser3]

Ouch... poor Predator. I guess making it one of the most confusing tones in a trailer and trying to be relevant doesn’t click. Fox will be in a hurting for sho.

 

A Simple Favor’s preview number isn’t too bad. It’s more of a weekend player than a preview player, the film will more likely play well tonight and tomorrow’s matinees. 

 

White Boy Rick is no surprise, it looks ok. Probably more of a Netflix or home video film than the big price of admission. 

[Premium George]

So, what's the range for predator?
