Out of their fall dramas, Just Mercy looks like it has the best chance of being successful. 

MCU Director with Killmonger and Captain Marvel. Guaranteed success

Warner Bros won't lose much from The Goldfinch as most of the budget was covered by Amazon Studios, least they had the foresight to get a co-financier to reduce the risk. 

WB gets co-financing for most if not all their movies (even Joker is co financed by Bron in their deal) as does every other major studio except Disney.

Goldflop hahaha! I dont know why that cracks me up so much.

@BoxOfficeFangrl Awesome post! Revisiting Gaga vs Venom war is fun!

So what's the expected Saturday number for Hustlers to have that $32 million weekend Deadline is predicting?

Venom vs A Star Is Born is one of those rare example where both movies wound up being HUGE WINNERS.

Also, it is a show case of how legs matter. ASIB barely hit half of Venom's opening but ended up beating it in final total.

Hustlers is nowhere NEAR as good as Erin Brockovich. What are the critics smoking? It's very uneven. But still a good time. JLo is a lot of fun but not worthy of a nom. She's playing herself: big hoop earrings, lipgloss, chewing gum, looking hot and strutting her stuff.

Don't forget

tbh I'd be surprised if it did more than Selma domestically though

I kind of wanted to forget, though    

 

It looked pretty solid to me, but predicting BO of movies like that is super not my specialty so I’ll take your word for it.   

 

Edit: Upon further review Selma made a bunch more money than I realized and I totally agree.

Edit: wrong thread, China numbers. Thanks @Thanos Legion 

 

HS aiming for a 37 weekend and 1396 tally

Should make it to 1410 by Thu. Not sure if it's gonna be in many theatres after that but 1420 looks reasonable ($200+)

For anybody confused, these are China weekend numbers (in ¥)    

 

I haven’t heard about an extension yet, without one run will be over on Thurs iirc.

A very nice Sat Bump for It even from the huge Friday. I guess It 1’s 2nd Sat bump was pretty subdued, might not have been the best base. Think odds to clear 215 are good.

Even Deadline knows who the culprit for The Goldfinch bombing is

Goldfinch isn’t Nicole Kidman’s worst wide release opening of all-time: That belongs to 2014’s Before I Go to Sleep ($1.8M)

Lol ASIB had a massive push with a re-release. Venom didn't. Venom won overall and made more money for the studio.
