Monday PM: With many schools taking off for the Veterans Day holiday today, turnstiles didn’t stop spinning with Illumination-Universal’s The Grinch grossing an estimated $10.3M today, -52% from Sunday taking its four-day opening to $77.8M. ComScore reported that close to half of all K-12 schools were off today along with 28% colleges.

Bohemian Rhapsody appears headed for $165M-$175M in North America, and that will increase should it receive key awards noms. The pic made an estimated $4.25M on Monday, -56% from Sunday’s $9.65M.

 

Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms takes 3rd place over 4 days with $11.7M and an 11-day running total of $37.4M. Monday earned $1.6M, -50% from Sunday.

[sfran43]

Overlord logged an estimated $11.4M after a $1.25M Monday, -54%. Despite the critically acclaimed WWII-zombie movie coming in higher than its R-rated rival The Girl in the Spider’s Web which settled in 6th place with $8.7M, it’s not enough box office ammunition to keep the genre movie afloat on screen beyond two weeks. Spider’s Web earned $900K today, -53%. With Bohemian and Warner Bros.’ A Star Is Born in the marketplace, it’s a fierce time for adult competition.

The latter takes 5th place with $9.3M after a $1.2M Monday, -49% from Sunday and a running total into its sixth week of $179.3M. Some box office analysts see the pic feasibly making $200M stateside.  Terrific word of mouth is driving A Star Is Born with great stateside weekend-to-weekend holds.

Not surprising. Grinch was absolutely fucking massive at my theatre today. So was BR. Tuesday’s definitely gonna drop, but it’s gonna be an awesome 5 days for Grinch 

[a2k]

I thought it would do better being a family film BUT Disc Tuesday maybe makes people wait for a day. VD fell on Monday in 2013 too,

I think ASIB could log 40 consecutive days above $1M. 

 

BR will do $200M. 

 

The rest...who cares.

Lol this. Bohemian Rhapsody could challenge 205-210M with the way things are going honestly.

[a2k]

Just realised that there's a shot of RPO being pushed out of top 25 on the 2018 Dom chart. It's currently on #17.

 

Rhapsody, Grinch, FB2, WIR2, AQM, Poppins will push it to #23.

 

Bumblebee and Creed have a shot. Looking at pro.BO's early Instant Family prediction, it has a shot too. Spider-verse cannot be fully ruled out too.

I just remembered Beyonce was supposed to be in ASIB. It would have been so awful. Being talentless (don't believe what the media says- she has no talent outside of a decent-at-best singing voice) she wouldn't have been able to contribute anything other than bootyliciousness, fiercely strutting around on stage and doing hair flips. In other words, she would have been her unbearable  "Queen Bey" self  for 2+ hours. Gross.

Go and watch her Coachella setlist, there will be articles written about that performance 50 years from now.

I know it's embarrassing but I wasn't very familiar with Queen music except some classics that I didn't even know were all Queen. so now I'm doing homework and listen to their music. yep, slay. Amazing. Epic. Whatever people think of the movie, it's introducing new generation to their music and that's a great thing.

Looks like Smallfoot saw a boost from Veteran's Day. a -18% drop from Sunday is excellent.

Yeah it was terrible. She sucks. But I didn't watch all of it. Can't sit through a setlist of songs about her "marrital woes" when her marriage is fake and these so-called personal songs were written by a team of expensive songwriters. A glorified Kim K.

Funny Deadline quote. It’s been clearly headed to over 200 for weeks now.
