How many people in the theater?

Around 250-300 (726 seats). Audience seemed to enjoy it, especially the 3rd act.

 

But it was the largest auditorium in the cinema i go to, that one is always quite busy on Friday nights, relatively regardless of the movie. Overall though, Godzilla isnt doing all too well here unfortunately.

Does anyone know if the characters from Skull Island will be in Godzilla vs Kong?

Isn't that 50 years or more earlier

I'm sure the titular character will make an appearance.

Thinking Elgort and Kitsch are good actors and thinking Pattinson is a bad actor.  Do you know what acting is?

Elgort was good in Baby Driver; but he seems to have fallen off the radar as of late, apart from some weird Instagram thing recently. He could be a much bigger star if his next major role delivers at the box office.

 

As for Kitsch, he was very good in his season of True Detective a few years back. Unfortunately, his movie career has stumbled as seems to play the pretty boy and not much else. Savages was good but he's had nothing worth remembering, apart from that bathtub scene in Battleship.

 

I have no idea why WB opted for Pattinson when Hoult, a better actor, was also up for the role. The poor performance of Tolkien may have factored in this decision, though.

Child's Play: 18 (+6%)/42.5

 

Nice bump for Child’s Play. The legs will be terrible because of Annabelle. 

 

Btw, MA was so much fun.

I think I'm the most shook by 20 million for MA.

 

That is a a FANTASTIC number.  Blumhouse has become text book for these kind of films.

20 Ma

 

Whew, $20m would be great. 

 

What is also a pleasant surprise is that audience breakdown. Almost even over/under 25 and Male/female. 

[Krissykins]

Also, what is Deadline smoking thinking that $43m for Aladdin is a 47% drop? More like -53%. 

[Frozen]

These really aren’t great numbers for Rocketman are they? It was tracking at $40 million forever. Then they lowered it at the end to $30 million. Now it looks like low 20s.

I'll laugh if it actually is -47% drop for 48.5m.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Brightburn 73% 2nd weekend drop, ouch

[Cookson]

Yo.... I’ve been waiting 5 freaking years for this Godzilla sequel. Watching it FINALLY in a few hours. Whatever it does at the box office is beyond my control... hopefully WOM and legs prevail, but I’m going to sit down and enjoy this and not think about it!

Oh they've been smoking some strong stuff over there ever since Nikke Finke left. Now those were the golden days of Deadline, when you got 10 updates a night from Nikke and she actually knew what she was writing about.

[Menor the Destroyer]

5 PM Pulse still seems to suggest around 13, again could see 12-14 but not 17.7 like Deadline is saying. I'm pretty sure their numbers will go down

Are you kidding me? 

Pattinson is much better than Hoult.

Have you done Pulse tracking before? If so, how accurate does it tend to be?
