9-10 seems doable for MIB. It's doing pretty solid hour-to-hour business. However, it played weirdly close to the animation comps yesterday and idk if that will continue. So I will still stick with 8-10

Friday numbers ?? hmmm

Shaft's a pretty low risk project as WB/New Line only funded half the budget, Netflix funded the rest in exchange for international distribution.

 Men in Black: International will seriously have to rely on the last word in its title when it comes to box office cash this weekend because here in the states the Sony reboot/fourthquel is crashing with an estimated $25M off of an estimated $10M Friday (including last night’s $3.1M previews).

New Line’s Shaft looks to do horrible business with $3.3M today (including last night’s $600K previews), and an opening of $8.5M

 the Sony reboot/fourthquel is crashing with an estimated $25M off of an estimated $10M Friday (including last night’s $3.1M previews). Exits are not good at 3 stars for general audiences on ComScore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak, a low 44% definite recommend, however kids under 12 (14% of last night’s audience) enjoyed it better at 4 stars. Parents were at 3 stars.

 

New Line’s Shaft looks to do horrible business with $3.3M today (including last night’s $600K previews), and an opening of $8.5M for this $35M production, on which Warners unloaded overseas rights to Netflix.  A crappy summer weekend indeed, even with a great 80% K-12 schools and 92% colleges off for summer today moving to 86% and 95% by Monday.

They'll make it up with It, Joker and Doctor Sleep later in the year.

Holy shit @ Shaft. I expected it to open this low months ago, but it seemed like buzz was picking up. Oof.

[Biggestgeekever]

I'm unclear if this is updated tracking or not, but given the shitty state of this weekend, let's hope this pans out.

Given the awesome 100% certified fresh RT score for Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 4, that movie should wake everyone up next weekend, some predicting a possible $200M opening.

 

[SpiderByte]

Wow, EVERYTHING is bombing this summer that isn't Disney (well, Disney proper) or Keanu.

 

Wonder what the Dark Phoenix hold will be

Was there ever demand for a new Shaft film?

[Legion Again]

So... MIBI+Shaft OWs O/U Phoenix OW?      

 

Aladdin will be above all these other movies next weekend.

MiB numbers will keep going lower. Expecting $21m, but sub-$20m wouldn't shock me. WoM is gonna be pretty toxic too.

[Porthos]

 

 Remember things like this when people claim that they can 'ALWAYS' spot CGI.

On top of which they have kept the P&A at a bare minimum. They likely won't lose much if anything on it. Speaking of P&A, Universal is dolling out cash for SLOP2 TV ads at a level I've never seen before (topped the charts 4 weeks in a row current cum spend domestically over $44M). Must be getting antsy with Toy Story 4 around the corner

44% definite recommend is ugly, maybe a C Cinemascore incoming. I'm not sure about that 6.9 million Friday though. I think that DL # may increase

[Legion Again]

On the bright side, if Shaft loses to Rocketman we’ll dodge that all-rotten top 5 I mentioned earlier 😛
