filmlover Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The Front Runner's rough $9,800 PTA for the weekend according to Deadline just goes to show that even specialty crowds have become fickle about parting with their cash in recent years.

The Front Runner doesn't look good, that's why it's not doing well. It looks and smells like failed Oscarbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone expected a movie about a political scandal from 30 years ago with tepid reviews released at a time when politics is literally everywhere to make any money but that's still a brutal number for a Hugh Jackman vehicle. It expands to 48 theaters next weekend before going "wide" on Thanksgiving but I doubt it'll be in more than 400-500 theaters with these numbers.

BoxOfficeFangrl Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The Front Runner opened on Election Day?! LOL, the target audience was going to follow news coverage, not go to the movies. Not that there is much of an audience for it, as subsequent days have shown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony is still probably taking it to 1k theaters or so. The poster has been up at my AMC (right next to Mary Queen of Scots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, very few specialty crowds will go to an average movie with average reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always a smug move on their part especially for a film that reportedly treats its subject with kid gloves and aims its venom at the media (for exposing him) instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster has been up at my AMC (right next to Mary Queen of Scots). We'll see. If I remember correctly Lionsgate planned to take Last Flag Flying into wide release around Thanksgiving last year but axed those plans because the limited grosses were too poor to justify getting it into too many theaters and taking away screens (and in the end saw its theater count stall at just over 100 theaters). Though it's set to open at a bunch of theaters around here on the 21st (it opens at the theater I frequent next weekend) so perhaps they'll put it in that many theaters despite the potentially embarrassing PTA.

At 210.7m ASIB will have beat it. Like with Gravity it will need awards bo push for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
