Bit surprised at that Doctor Sleep number. Didn't like the new trailer, but I thought the Shining/King connections would help it stand out. Everything else on that weekend sounds about right.

[filmlover]

Blade Runner 2049 actually seems like a perfect comparison for Doctor Sleep.

[a2k]

They are going for a damn low multi for Joker, 103 ow => 210 dom

if small means low budget then there's US which has the same budget.

It's difficult to predict how Doctor Sleep will do, I think $25-35m would be solid and TBH unlike Blade Runner 2049, WB won't have spent crazy money on it. 

[Legion Again]

Right about where previews were expected, now I just need a slightly better than expected IM. It2 as expected.     

 

That Doctor Sleep forecast is right around what I was thinking too.

Supposedly it's a crowdpleaser so that's strange.

Film festival crowdpleaser doesn’t always mean actual crowds crowdpleaser — but the verified score is just 344 reviews for now, pretty early. Maybe it’ll go to 80s (fine). Maybe it’ll go to like 65, and that wouldn’t bode so well.

Waiting for The Goldfinch numbers...

[Alli]

The Goldfinch is better rated than Hustlers on IMDB. Box office hit confirmed!

[a2k]

IT2, DrS and Joker will do about 500 dom combined going by Pro.BO forecast. That's good for WB compared to rest of the year they have had but it's not huge. Great for a single studio in Fall though.

 

Disney gonna have 4 movies this year close to 500 dom or more solo - Frozen2, SW9, TLK, AEG (along with CMAR and TS4 at 425-450)
