Considering it's PTA on Thur was $36  and it's theater drop it's has to be in the 90%s

Hmmm.  86.5% would be way better.

To be fair, unless it was another kids movie, I don't think it would be a smart idea to have a movie open the weekend before Joker

The Hunt was fully set to open this weekend until its release got called off completely due to real world events just a few weeks ago, so it's not like everyone was completely terrified of Joker. November currently has 16 movies set to open and one or two of them could've easily opened here, especially something like Motherless Brooklyn which will likely tank no matter where it opens.

83.5% would be ideal, especially after Brittany made too much money.

no way.  I don't know the lyrics to any nursery rhymes.  (or songs)

I don't think you can derive answers from that multiple choice show.

People surprised that adult women showed up for Judy? Who do they think drove ASIB to over $200 million last year?

Ad Astra has a long way to go to hit breakeven, but that 47% drop looks pretty good after those awful RT audience scores. I enjoyed it, but I was thinking 65-70% might be in the cards this weekend. Glad to see it's at least holding its own.

In a year where small movies has been suffering at B.O, I'm kinda shocked that a small studio like STX will have TWO movies over this mark.

Things are thus far looking decent for John.

It'll be over $40m Dom this time next weekend off it's $50m budget.

This entire thread is good

Also is it just me or has September animation/family films been doing bad recently, when it used to be a major opportunity spot. Cloudy 1 and 2, as well as the first two Hotel Transylvania dominated. Hell Open Season adjusts over $100M. Storks, Lego Ninjago, Smallfoot and now Abominable are all under $85M.

 

I wonder if the damage of Netflix to the theatrical animation business as well as more bloated summer for family films in general is hurting and the marketing has taken a turn for the worse.
