The Calm Before The Storm Weekend Thread: Estimates - Curse Of LaLlorona $26.51M | Shazam $17.34M | Breakthrough 11.0M | CM $9.10M

[DAJK]

Hoping (and thinking) La Llorona is going to go over 10M tonight. Nun went up significantly from its mid day estimate.

Just a prediction.  Next weekend thread will be longer than 2 pages

I'll make a bolder prediction: next weekend thread will have "Weekend Thread" in its title.

Thread length is a good proxy for OW size, so going past 300 for sure

Curse of La Llorona?  More like Curse of La Boreona

6.3 Friday to a 15.7 weekend?

 

I know Good Friday is inflated and all, but that should lead to more than 15.7, right?

 

[dxmatrixdt]

not understanding how La Llorona made such a big Thurs #

more power to those who do understand it.  

Tracking should have penciled in a comparable number under 2M

 

Do horror movies beat tracking by playing like an animated kids movie at nighttime?

Did the market run away with La Llorona on Thursday night boosting it to 2.75/10M+ Friday?

Is this why they call a breakout a breakout?  Breaking beyond market comparisons? 

Why did the Ouija movies both open under 20M?

But how far into the thread before Pink gets suspended again?

He'll be banned within the first 40 pages for spoiling After

6.3 Fri for SHAZAM is too good to be true.

 

Would give it 17 weekend conservatively,

6.3 (+147%)

6.55 (+4%)

4.2 (-36%)

= 17.05 (-30%)

 

I think Friday will end up mid-high 5's for 15-16 weekend.

Sounds about right. At most it'll stay flat (and more likely decrease) tomorrow.

Wow TCOLL was front-loaded. Probably won't even make 40 million total.

Yeh horror quite often beats tracking.

 

$9m budget for Curse, so not the earlier reported $15m.

 

$9.1m is a solid number, maybe it’ll increase through the night. 

[Krissykins]

Also; hopefully RTH is here next weekend 😂😂

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Deadline gave us 5 different End Game Friday numbers by the time 10am hits 😂

 

Also: Disney, STOP with these nature documentaries, no one ever goes to see them. 

 

Breakthrough missing its tracking too.

I wonder if the Disneynature docs will end up on Disney+ service from now on with perhaps a limited release beforehand. I think perhaps it'll done in conjunction with Nat Geo.

I could see them as special one day releases for Earth day...and then dropped onto Disney+...that's probably all they'd need for the size of the audience...

To someone who has seen Curse of La Llorona, how much humor is in it? Or is it more straight forward horror?
