I'm more surprised by IF bombage. It looked like such a heartwarming movie

Yeah, it's looking at a drop around 70%.  Granted it appealed to a limited audience that rushed out on opening weekend but still.

$4.5M is hardly a bomb lmao. Some of you throw out the term "bomb" too casually. It's doing alright: nothing awful, nothing great.

That's really not that good for green book. Plus it's not tracking well so I'm not sure why people thought this would be some huge hit like hidden figures

Looks like a much steeper drop this weekend but then most theaters did have to reduce it to smaller auditoriums due to the new releases. $150M+ is guaranteed though $200M is dead (sorry @WrathOfHan!).

Disappointing weekend.

I agree. I never got why people thought it was going to explode?

Even worse because it's a genuinely good movie.  Not sure why it's dropping so hard, it seems like the kind of film to drop 55% at the most

It's a niche film, for a specific audience

Disappointed in Widows numbers. But there is nothing to be done.

This might be a game changing weekend for the Oscar race. If Widows and Green Book aren't able to make much, that's more films to add to the list of Oscar potentials that failed to connect with audiences.

 

It really might be in the academy's best interest to just give A Star is Born the Oscar already...
