Can Spidey gross that 40M? Maybe Sony will make it double features with another Sony movie? Angry Birds perhaps?

A24 is cautiously sending this film nationwide, hope the quieter August can help this film got its attention.

1.6B looking pretty likely. Especially if Japan performs well

I saw Hobbs and Shaw last night, and pretty much the entire movie was thinking, how on earth did they manage to spin off a hugely successful franchise and make a movie that is arguably better than any of the films in the franchise itself. 

The first 2/3 of the movie is more Mission Impossible than F&F, which I enjoyed because it's more rooted in reality. 

The third act is where the ridiculousness of the F&F movies comes in, but that said it was still a lot of fun. 

 

The surprise cameos got huge reactions from my crowd, and also sets up a nice team for any sequel. 
Regardless of what this makes domestically, overseas will guarantee a sequel, and I think with goodwill from this one a sequel could do quite well.

Wish I had the same reaction.  

I think how much anyone will like this will depend on how long they can tolerate the Dwayne/Statham ‘banter’. I think it works better as a sideshow, rather than a whole movie devoted to it.

When its summer and the top 10 isnt even all over 1m in gross 🤦‍♂️😬🤣

[Krissykins]

That’s a solid second weekend drop for OUATIH considering it had some Tarantino fan rush last weekend. 

 

 

[LonePirate]

So The Farewell is looking to top out around $15M-$20M. Its PTA is slightly ahead of OUATIH despite the latter playing in roughly 9x the number of theaters. Further expansions are unlikely to do much except cannibalize existing locations. Still, it's a nice haul for a very summer unfriendly movie with no big name stars (Awkwafina is not a big name star, sorry). It's definitely worth seeing if you are tired of superheroes, sequels and spin-offs.
