I kind of doubt 500 with this start. It’s almost all markets.

Tell that to Disney, they live off rehashes.

This is such a strange take, although Disney is remaking same movies but they are at least good enough that audiences enjoy. Just look at Aladdin phenomenal legs everywhere. Its just a rehash of old story but they make it more fun and enjoyable. Other studios are failing in that regard imo

France and Hong Kong

Great opening for It 2, but could have been bigger considering how popular the first one was. WB is not doing their best this year.

And France. They were about 6% of It1’s gross.

It will definitely cross $200M even if it drops big time from here on out on account that it's likely gonna get a push the entire last week of October when nothing of note is opening. It's curious why there are absolutely no horror movies opening in October this year aside from the comedy hybrid Zombieland 2 (which obviously leans almost completely on the comedy side anyway) and I guess the animated Addams Family if that counts. Unless they think Joker functions as a Halloween movie considering the costume is certain to be popular.

I wonder if WB might do paid sneaks for Doctor Sleep on Halloween itself?

There actually is one from STX on Halloween weekend called Countdown. I can't find the trailer online, but I got the preview at It 2, and...yikes lmao.

 

But more than likely, it's probably a case where studios saw the logjam of Joker/Zombieland/Maleficent and decided it was best to sit this one out.

Hey baumer, I was right - something is breaking $70M from August...even $80M looks possible (although not certain) now...the overall club might be in danger:)...

Harsher Sunday drop than the first, could be underestimated.

Hobbs & Shaw grossed an estimated $15.7M internationally this weekend, including $9.7M from China (where the film has grossed $184.6M to date). International total stands at $555.5M, global total stands at $719.8M

9.7 Ch weekend + 6 OS-Ch weekend + 3.7 dom weekend for 720 ww

8 more Ch + 6 more OS-Ch + 6 more Dom = 20 more for 740 ww

Nice to see Gerard Butler getting a much needed hit. Even though he’s not the most talented actor or action star for some reason I’m always rooting for him. He seems like a totally good dude.

Current markets will bring at least $460m, I think $500m is locked for IT2.
