Weekend Thread : Asgardian #'s on p.17 ~ 19.6M Saturday

Recommended Posts



That's actually a really solid expansion for Beautiful Boy. Clearly the aggressive amount of TV spots over the past week pushing the film's "seeking help" angle paid off.

 

Suspiria also did fine numbers but is most likely gonna freefall once WOM from unsuspecting moviegoers spreads.

Is $46M a good number for BR?

out of the Forbes quote:

Quote

The presumed $47m debut weekend will be (easily) the second-biggest launch for a musical biopic behind Straight Outta Compton’s $60m debut three years ago.

Thats solid for Suspiria. What’s Amazons plans? Are they going to release it online shortly?

It's getting another expansion next week (probably 600-700 theaters). It won't be on Amazon Prime until 2-3 months after the Blu-Ray comes out n January/February.

Boy Erased is looking at a $44-45K average from 5 theaters this weekend according to Hollywood Reporter (or $220-225K for the weekend).

I can see it doing decently over the early December lull if it doesn't get forgotten over Thanksgiving.

FWIW it's a better launch than fellow November Focus awards contenders The Theory of Everything (also in 5 theaters), The Danish Girl (4 theaters), and Loving (also 4 theaters), and close to Darkest Hour's 5-day launch in 4 theaters. It won't do anything amazing unless it becomes a major contender but $10M+ should be easy, especially with endorsements from numerous LGBT organizations.

 

We don't have much left in terms of contenders for a $100K+ opening PTA this year. Last year had one (Call Me by Your Name) and the year before had two (La La Land and Moonlight). The Favourite seems like the only one left with the strongest chance at it.

I don't know which is more impressive: Bohemian Rhapsody's opening or A Star is Born only dropping 24% even with direct competition.

Probably A Star is Born. I could see it going as high as $225M now with that Oscar push.

First Man is looking at another 50+% drop. Yikes, the news keeps getting worse and worse. I haven't been this obsessed with a failure/under performer since Solo.

Hardly a surprise considering it lost nearly 1,250 theaters.

The bad news is that Halloween took a dive as November began. The good news is that the $10 million slasher pic wasn’t counting on long legs, especially after it snagged a $76.2m opening weekend. The Jamie Lee Curtis sequel earned $3.31m yesterday (-66%), but I think Blumhouse and friends will be okay. The Universal/Comcast Corp. release topped $200m worldwide yesterday, meaning it is Blumhouse’s third-biggest global grosser behind Split ($278m) and Get Out ($256M). It is right between Split ($138m) and Get Out ($176m) in domestic earnings. With a likely $10.8m (-66%) weekend, it’ll be just over/under the $150m mark by tomorrow. It looks like an over/under $176m finish for this one.

.

A Star Is Born is holding well enough that it is earning more, in terms of weekend-to-weekend grosses, than Venom (which opened on the same day to nearly double the respective opening weekend) and Halloween (which opened just two weeks ago). The Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga romantic drama earned $3.15 million (-25%) on its fifth Friday to bring its domestic cume to $157.6m. We’re looking at a $10.93m (-22%) weekend and a $165.5m domestic total for Warner Bros. and MGM’s $36m-budgeted musical remake. Inflation notwithstanding, it’ll be a day away from passing Fifty Shades of Grey ($166m in 2015) to become the fourth-biggest straight-up romantic drama behind only Pearl Harbor ($198m), Ghost ($217m) and Titanic ($658m).

.

Venom earned $1.97 million (-31%) ....has now earned $192.8m and should snag $7.4m (-30%) over the weekend for a new $198.213m domestic total. We’ll get an overseas update tomorrow, but I’m expecting a total over/under $535m plus whatever it earns in Japan.

....  Makes you wonder what would have happened if Sony had just gone for it back in 2014 with their Spidey spin-offs and/or Amazing Spider-Man 3.

.

Ridiculous opening for Bohemian Rhapsody. Music-related movies, whether that be musicals, biopics, animation, etc., seem to be one of the biggest things going right now, alongside comic book movies and horror. And it's going to hit close to 150M DOM, maybe over that, as it really seems to be a crowdpleaser.

 

Nutcracker woeful. Disney's third mega bomb of the year, ouch. I have no idea what kind of OS appeal does this have, but it better pray that it has some of it at all. But even then, a 120M budget is pretty significant.

My list would have most of the same films but in different orders.

 

Avengers 4 wasn’t out of the ordinary. I wouldn’t say Incredibles wasn’t expected either. 

2 billion worldwide, OS record shattered left and right, nearly 700M DOM and over TFA's OW (when a lot of people didn't think it would do that) isn't out of the ordinary?

 

Crushing the animated OW record by ~50M and coming close to beating the adjusted for inflation animated DOM total record isn't out of the ordinary?

 

Not a lot of people expected either movie to go the way they did. One thing is maybe they didn't impress you, as you've hinted big blockbusters doing massive numbers is a thing that bores you cause it's 'expected'. Fair enough. I also would say that, in terms of unexpected/small scale breakouts, the heights that the likes of The Meg, CRA and A Quiet Place hit were a lot more positively surprising. But what those two - and Black Panther - did is nothing short of stunning.

Surprised Nobody’s Fool isn’t doing that well, it seemed like Perry was playing to a more general audience with this one.

 

and I can’t quite believe how poorly Suspiria expanded, was figuring a 90% PTA drop at worst and this is well past that.
