Next Sunday will see some terrible drops, though...

Yeah but Friday and Saturday should more than make up for it for weekend drops in the 35-40% range.

Has there be anything said about Broly at all?

[Krissykins]

Upside, Escape Room and Dogs Way Home have done well. 

 

However we’ve also had Replicas, King and Serenity. 

 

No one has been mentioning it, but Replicas is a disaster for the history charts, it’s third weekend number hasn’t even been reported, it lost 96% of its locations and had one of the top 10 worst second weekend drops of all time. Wow.

The Kid Who Would Be King flopped, $2k pta. What were they thinking putting this in 3500 cinemas, it looked so unappealing.

Because it actually turned out to be a great kids movie and a fun time. Fox butchered up the marketing by making it seem awful just like WB last year with Paddington 2.

63% drop this weekend. Almost $29M total.

Bohemian Rhapsody to sneak into the top 10 domestic, then... Considering everything that went wrong with the movie behind the scenes, and its overall lukewarm critical reception, I personally feel this is the box office story of 2018.

Is that based on the Deadline figures from yesterday?

No from box office mojo.

Out of respect for Keanu.

That's actually a great hold...quite higher than initial estimates...and should cement $100M...

[John Marston]

Damn Glass lucked out at the lack of competition 

 

 

The Mule passes 100m. Eastwood still a draw at 88

Good for Mule

Wonder if WB can work their magic for They Shall not Grow Old too? Not saying $100m, but like $30m+ would be great for that

Feels like there hasn't been a movie with as big of disconnect between awards groups and critics/audiences as Vice since Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, which also saw no boost from its nominations. It won't cross $50M at this point even if Bale or Adams (or both) wins.

Difference is WB got Paddington last minute and had to scramble a marketing plan in mere weeks. Meanwhile Fox has way more than a year to come up with a decent marketing campaign.
