Weekend Thread 11/16 - 11/18 - Grindelwald $25.7M Friday, Instant Family at $4.5M Friday

[Valonqar]

WTF is with drops????? BR's 200M goal evaporated with this ridiculous nose dive. What's happening? 

 

@Slambros Widows and GB were never in contention for wins, only noms. There was a brief moment of "Viggo might upset BCoop" but Viggo's N Bomb demolished that. Not that he would upset Coop anyway. So no matter the boxoffice, nothing would have changed since they are vying only for also-run spots not for wins.

Never felt any huge buzz for Insta-Family but over predicted it anyway. Ugh. I need to stop paying attention to others and make my own bad predictions. I never learn.

It got put in smaller auditoriums. Even my theater had to movie it from the some of the biggest theaters into 60-something seat auditoriums to accommodate the new movies.

Everybody is watching Detective pikachu trailer at home. They don't want to take chance with going to theater. Who knows they show the trailer or not.

Holy shit its a great thing that Halloween made so much money on OW, since its legs are abysmal.

 

Though it shoudnt be that surprising tbh. It was a film in the perfect release slot to be massive for two weeks and two weeks only it seems.

Looks like it took its first major hit this weekend along with everything else falling harshly. Still gonna cross $200M though.

@filmlover In immortal words of Pretty Woman "big mistake. Huge" considering that all newbies are underperforming.

 

@Premium George I can accept that reason. 

[Zakiyyah6]

A Star is Born will have it's biggest drop yet. More comp and theater drops will do that.

Wow even ASIB took a bigger than expected hit - even with theater loss a $5m+ w/e was expected.  It will do around $4.2m for a 48% or so drop
