Yeah, Mary Poppins is gonna be the event of the holidays. It's always the one movie everyone says they're excited for whenever the topic of movies comes up.

There is always that one special movie that surfaces up on conversations every time of the year.  Hell, last year it was SING!  😄

I expect advertisements to be LOUD in December everywhere.

Ugh I low-key want to see Hunter Killer. Someone please go see it and tell me it sucks to dispel me from probably skipping out on homework and shelling out 13 bucks tonight :lol:

They also write it can change a lot especially at that release date time frame.

Better stay conservative and enjoy the more than be disappointed is my prefered POV, so I am happy with that (for today 😉 )

[Halloween] is showing again that there’s money to be made at the end of October with a $33.3M second weekend, -56%.

 

Lionsgate has another meat-and-potatoes Gerard Butler action thriller Hunter Killer which they took U.S. and U.K. rights on. The Donovan Marsh-directed submarine movie made $420K at 2,200 screens last night and is poised to make $2.4M today and $7.2M over three-days in 4th place at 2,720. 

 

Holding firm in spots 2 and 3 will be Warner Bros./Live Nation’s A Star Is Born and Sony’s Venomboth looking at respective fourth weekends of $12.5M (-34%), and $9.5M (-47%).

While it’s often written that the weekend that lands prior to or around Halloween is deathly slow, it really depends on what the studios put on the marquee. We could have said the same thing about the third weekend in October, that it’s just a platform for lackluster wares, a pig pile of counter-programming. But Universal/Miramax/Blumhouse’s Halloween proved that business theory wrong last weekend with the second best start ever for the month with $76.2M. And the horror sequel is showing again that there’s money to be made at the end of October with a $33.3M second weekend, -56%. Tonight the David Gordon Green-directed sequel will slash past the $100M mark with a $10.3M Friday after a $94.7M first week, and by Sunday Halloween will stand at $128M.

The amount of money which Halloween is set to make is generally what a strong movie makes in the final corridor of October, i.e. Puss in Boots ($34M), Saw III ($33.6M), and Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa ($32M). However, this weekend, none of the studios wanted to compete in the wake of Halloween and really didn’t push their best fare out there. Lionsgate has another meat-and-potatoes Gerard Butler action thriller Hunter Killer which they took U.S. and U.K. rights on. The Donovan Marsh-directed submarine movie made $420K at 2,200 screens last night and is poised to make $2.4M today and $7.2M over three-days in 4th place at 2,720. Universal has the third Johnny English movie, Johnny English Strikes Again of which the U.S. is an afterthought with the Working Title pic shooting past the $100M threshold with $15M alone from the UK. The Rowan Atkinson comedy is only in play at 544 locations and it’s nothing fantastic with a $1.1M weekend after a $400K Friday.

Holding firm in spots 2 and 3 will be Warner Bros./Live Nation’s A Star Is Born and Sony’s Venomboth looking at respective fourth weekends of $12.5M(-34%), and $9.5M (-47%). The Bradley Cooper-directed movie by Sunday will stand at $147M while Venom will have a running total of $185.9M.

Faring well is A24’s expansion of Jonah Hill’s Los Angeles street skateboard teen drama Mid90s which in an expansion from 4 locations to 1,206 is looking at a $1.3M Friday,  weekend 2 of $3M, 10-day of $3.3M.

Just saw that it has a $25M budget. Why, I really have no idea.

When you think CMBYN was $3.4m it's a head scratcher.   Even with Carrel's added star power and Chamalet being more established you'd think $15m would be the high end for an intimate family drama indie about a drug addiction.

This was shot early last year back when Chalamet was a total unknown though so I doubt he got paid much. And I'm pretty sure Carell would've taken a pay cut for a film like this. So why it costed so much really is a mystery.

Maybe producers fees.  It comes from Brad Pitt's Plan B among others.

Chamalet is NO box office force Ansel Elgort!

lol he's not a draw either. Most of his actual starring vehicles (which is everything but Baby Driver) have barely been released in theaters.

What a boring weekend.  Since there is nothing to discuss regarding the BO, i shall ask:  why is the new generation of actors so -to be blunt- ugly? The Chamalet dude, Lucas hedges...  

 

Where are the brad pitts, johnny depps of the 90s? What the hell happened? Are these the guys girls are lusting over these days?
