Weekend Thread | Venom with -55.5% drop - 35.7m | A Star is Born -34.7% - 28m | First Man disappointing with 16.5m | Goosebumps 2 16.225m | Bad Times for Bad Times At The El Royale with 7.225m

ASIB and FM are counter programming.

 

I don't see them having too much effect on each other.

 

With the total available $ box office spend for the weekend, there should be plenty to go round.

I'm also, but here's a week-end numbers thread, don't review's thread. And real numbers and facts should be all over the preferences. 

Except literally no one is saying Venom's dropping well.

Below 60 is a good drop for cbm.

When you have 70 mln true opening week-end, 33-34 mln is not bad drop.

predictions are tough because the box office is broken for the rest of 2018, I think. 

Venom's #s are obviously fake and it is hard to account around that.

How is everyone else handling this with their forecasts and BO discussion?

[aabattery]

Yeah, I'd say Venom is doing fine. Hop, skip and a jump from 200m and I don't think you could ask for much more than that, especially considering how (relatively) cheap it was.

 

Plus it would be criminal to end with a sequel tease like that and do nothing with it.

[Mulder]

Oh it'll def get a sequel. I just don't think the reception's that great.

Funny how you're claiming Box Office is broken but only Venom's #s are fake! Stop trolling!

i'm not trolling.  I'm standing up for the movies and the box office.  sad no one else here is.

Bring some proof that is outside of Venom and is actually proof = links to reliable sources

 

If you earnestly belief ppl here wouldn't care about fake numbers... then you have not realised why the majority of the users is even here (active and the time to time ppl)

Some here are even work in the business, some, like myself, follow BO since literally decades (depending on whom here, since the '70 to '90 or...)

Jesus, a 35.5M Sunday AM estimate from Deadline. Looking more and more likely that this awful movie will get another movie made in Sony’s “spider-man universe but no spider-man”

[Gavin Feng]

Quote

Sunday AM Early Estimates: Venom‘s solid second weekend of $35.5M (-55%) and Goosebumps 2‘s $16.2M opening have swung Sony past the $1 billion mark at the domestic box office for the year, making it the fourth major to do so. Disney has been there for a while with $2.75B+, Warner Bros. is north of $1.3B, and Universal at $1.2B+.

 

 

 

 

$210M+ confirmed?

Let’s not with “true” opening weekends. No point claiming that when the studio already rolls those thursday numbers into the opening weekend.

Venom had an inflated OW Sunday, lost premier screens in the 2nd weekend and yet managed arond 55% drop. Impressive for a CBM.

 

Looking at Deadeline's Sat, Venom needs to follow that up with a 30% Sun drop if it has to get 35.5 2nd weekend. Falling 34% will give it 35.0m.

 

Either way, it's going after Solo on the Dom charts. Might I add it's RT Aud score (not considered a useful metric) is still a great 89% since OD.

[MCKillswitch123]

Dat great audience wom for   making Sony reeeeal happy right now.

[Krissykins]

El Royale had no reason to fall 10% on Saturday, very poor opening. 

 

A Star Is Born second weekend drop looking at just -34%  

 

First Man was a waste of PLF screens, which should be given to Halloween next week but I don’t think universal plans IMAX for that, in the US anyway. We’re getting Halloween on gigantic screens here in the U.K.

Especiallly with "Little Monsters" push and with pre-holiday Sunday in OW. If nothing extraordinary happens 170+ is locked.

It depends how strong "Venom" will stand against "Halloween".

I have heard only good words about Venom. Granted it's from people with not eloquent film preferences but that's the GA isn't it?

[Krissykins]

What is it with Avengers not being able to open a film? 

 

Most recent films:

Chris Hemsworth: Bad Times

Chris Evans: Gifted

RDJ: The Judge

Scar Jo: Rough Night

 

The new batch of actors rarely lead films either.

There are no movie stars anymore but the few that are a leftover from old times (Leo, Denzel, Cruise, The Rock, Jason, Sandra, Meryl, Willy). Franchise/brand is the king now and people's attachment to the franchise character doesn't necessarily extend to an actor/actress outside of the franchise. They have success sometimes if they play a role similar to their big brand role (Lucy) but not always (GitS). In short, they have no drawing power on their own because they aren't groomed for that anymore unlike movie stars of the old where movies were made specially for them. Now there are too many actors and all of them replaceable outside of their designated brand (and even inside of it).
