I practically nailed Glass 3 day if these estimates hold.

It's about $500K above Split. In a vacuum it's fine, but I don't think Uni/Blum/Shaymagod wanted this to see such a slight increase.

For what that's worth.

Glass has one of those weird openings.  The opening is fine, solid even but something obviously went a little wrong,  if even slightly. No it didn't have to hit 75mil 4 day but most people expected it to do a little better. Now lets see where word of mouth takes it.

It's not that weird, is it?  Critics really harmed the opening.

Man 47 4 day seems like such a dissapointment if we go back a few weeks where people were talking 60-70+.

Critics didn't do anything but give their opinion of a movie, which is their job. And if the movie was actually good (Note I haven't seen it just going by comments on here) then critics and audiences would have said it was good and its box office would have most likely reflected that.

Was hoping it'd at least hit $45m FSS. Didn't like the film, but still really admire the big swings Shyamalan took with the film

It should cross $100 million rather easily. No competition in the next 2 weeks.

Looks like the "throw our Gillette razors in the toilet" crowd was busy this weekend

Sometimes I don't know how much bad reviews truly do hurt a film.

I feel like Cranston deserves some credit for Upside performing so well too. This is his first commercially friendly film since 2014's Godzilla, and I feel like he was one of the reasons that opened so big too

How long before a studio says fuck it and stops crowding the summer months by opening a franchise blockbuster in January.

Critics didn't hurt the opening, it is the audiences that agree with the critics that hurt the most.

 Word of mouth is what hurts a movie, not bad reviews.

 

It could be the best reviewed or the worst reviewed movie on RT. None of that matters if general audiences don't enjoy it.

They don’t even crowd all of Summer. August has gotten overlooked in the past few years when history suggests it’s a prime release date for blockbusters...
