Roadside reports that Peanut Butter Falcon “was No. 1” in more than half their theatres “including a big commercial multiplex in Salt Lake City,  The Landmark In LA…with lots of sellouts in various markets.” Private CinemaScore was a rare A+ 53% female and 47% male showing up and 65% of the audience under the age of 50. Pic will expand gradually to an expansion of 800 screens on Aug. 23.

Shia's coming for the wigs. 

[Krissykins]

Great for Scary Stories! 

 

I just watched Venom for the first time. 

 

Every aspect of it is dreadful. Tom Hardy should’ve got the razzie. Mindless entertainment, fine for a Sunday afternoon if there’s nothing else to watch. 

[Valonqar]

Tom Hardy was Oscar-worthy.

Good start. Won't blow up or anything but could reach $5M.

Haha if Halle Berry got the razzie for delivering very similar dialogue like that... he should’ve as well 😂

Starting to think TLK won’t pass TDK.

Yes. It'll pass 900M next week and it still has plenty of steam. OS holds >>>>>>>>>> dom holds.

 

@Thanos Legion it will. There's holiday coming.

Both Halle and Tom are Oscar-worthy. Razzie should go to paycheck collectors who don't bother to act, not to committed actors who take every job seriously.

Oh, no. It’ll get there. No way Disney will let TLK miss that milestone, let alone beating Rogue One.

OMG can The Lion King hit 1.7 billion. This is thing is a monster

I hope this comes to one of my multiplexes because I definitely would want to see it in theaters! I'm very happy for it because this seems like the perfect film for Roadside Attractions to distribute!

If it doesn't get there, it should end between DH2 and AOU.

Venom had some fun parts that were enjoyable.

The Lion King grossed an estimated $51.4M internationally this weekend, including a $9.3M debut in Japan. International total stands at $861.5M, global total stands at $1.335B - BOReport

100 more OS-Japan after ~42 weekend.

50 more Japan after 9.3 weekend.

That takes OS to 861.5 + 100 + 50 = ~1011.5

 

540 Dom gives ~1551.5 WW

 

I don't see where the dough for 1600 comes from. Japan could do 10 more than my ~60 guess and OS-Japan could add 15-20 more taking WW to 1575-1580. Don't think Dom will go over low-540 as I2's legs from now on give it 548 and it's been trailing I2's trending a lot. 535+ Dom is more realistic than 545+.

You can squeeze 20+ out of Italy

The only time I can remember Disney caring about any box-office milestone was Endgame beating Avatar, and that's probably ONLY because it was Avatar.... otherwise they seem to be fine pulling movies from theaters no matter how close they might be to a nice number or a marketable record.
