Bumblebee's domestic gross is so sleep inducing. Yes China saved it as it saved the last two Transformers films.

[sfran43]

It needs around $62M to reach $800M WW. These numbers are not looking like it will reach that mark!

It's more (much more, even) than a Tranformers 6 would've done given the trajectory of that series so that's something.

Lower increase than I was expecting for Vice given all its noms tbh. Might top out at abut $50m

Deadpool's word of mouth that bad or is it just incredibly frontloaded because it has been out for an eternity?

In the meantime, Universal/BVI/Blumhouse’s Glass has bragging rights for No. 1 in its second weekend with $16.6M, -59% for a 10-day of $71.1M. That second frame is significantly lower than the $25.6M which Split posted, putting Glass 9% behind the 2017 title by Sunday in its running cume.

 

There’s two other wide entries in the mix, but they aren’t making any kind of dent: 20th Century Fox’s Joe Cornish family pic The Kid Who Would Be King is looking at $7.1M for the weekend, which isn’t a great start for a production that cost $59M. 

 

Aviron’s Anne Hathaway-Matthew McConaughey indie thriller Serenity is nothing but stress for the distributor with a $4.2M start, a 21% RT score and a D+ CinemaScore. PostTrak was awful with 56% overall positive and an atrocious 34% recommend. Those who bought tickets were 53/47 Male and 53% under 35.

 

STX/Lantern Entertainment’s The Upside is the second place champ for a second weekend in a row with a third weekend take of $11.1M, -26%, for a running total by Sunday of $62M.

That's actually a drop from last Friday. I guess the movie's divisive nature was too much. Green Book is probably gonna end up being the movie that benefits the most.
