and yet we have seen $11M thursday previews produce a $100m+ OW.

 

 

How this goes against the 70m OW minimum for that 10m preview you are quoting ? Now sure to follow here.

1	My Big Fat Greek Wedding	IFC	$241,438,208	2,016	$597,362	108	4/19/02
2	What Women Want	Par.	$182,811,707	3,092	$33,614,543	3,012	12/15/00
3	Hitch	Sony	$179,495,555	3,575	$43,142,214	3,575	2/11/05
4	Pretty Woman	BV	$178,406,268	1,811	$11,280,591	1,325	3/23/90
5	There's Something About Mary	Fox	$176,484,651	2,555	$13,740,644	2,186	7/15/98
6	Crazy Rich Asians	WB	$169,241,568	3,865	$26,510,140	3,384	8/15/18

 

Crazy Rich Asians only needs $13M to be on the top two of highest grossing romantic comedy. 

Also, I did not know that Hitch was a huge success back then. I remember watching the movie in theaters but now barely remember the story. I guess I need a rewatch.

Like most of Will Smith's filmography, it's completely forgettable.

 Most of his movies are highly rewatchable. I bet that everyone here saw I Robot more times than movies they claim are their all-time favorite. It's impossible to skip I Robot, Bad Boys, IAL, ID4 when they are on cable.

Wow for a Star is Born.

 

Venom should be able to do at least $12m then with a similar drop.
