[That One Girl]

Alright can we stop panicking now lol

[Djsoke]

$55m+ probably

 

It'll be really interesting to see how much of its Friday is made up by previews though.

I assume he means Lego Movie 2, though that's just outside of a month

6m is better, probably puts it on track for 55-65 instead of AQP or the Nun numbers. I predicted 8m for previews so that's my bar (80m weekend). 

[Johnny Tran]

Breakout is commencing...    

 

[Legion Again]

Wow, look at that, half an hour ago presales were broken and now they're valid again

Now the #2 WW trend, with Jordan Peele landing at spot #10.

 

People are talking about it, that's for sure.

You'll have to go through each tweet and make the judgement yourself.

[Cap]

Wow, the early, pre-West Coast Deadline predictions are wrong?

 

 

(Everyone knows it's Saturday when you freak out.)

People were really responsive to it in my theater. After it ended I heard two groups of people say it was "amazing." I know anecdotes... are anecdotal, but I wanted to rebut the claim that audiences aren't liking it.

Should I see Us or Gloria Bell?

Would you prefer horror or a lowkey drama?

[La Binoche]

My audience was PUMPED when the movie started, and they were loving it during the first act. Halfway through they were still enjoying it but the reaction was more muted, and by the end, they just walked out silently, clearly a little let down. 

[La Binoche]

Us is flawed but fun. It starts off with a bang, a funhouse blend of humor and horror, but it doesn't come together in a fully satisfying way. But Lupita alone is worth the price of admission.
