How? It posted a $6K+ average from over 450 theaters last weekend and looks to be doing around $3K from over 3x as many theaters this weekend. That's actually a really strong number all things considered.

You can't expect a film like "Judy" to perform like a standard blockbuster.

How does one discuss these things? I sent you a couple messages after the Joker warning/threadban (which, in retrospect, was probably a blessing) and I didn't hear anything.

So Zellweger looks likely for female lead. Between Pacino/Pitt, Joaq/Driver and Dern/JLo for the other 3?

Little Women could change things up for both lead & supporting actress for Ronan & Pugh. 

[filmlover]

It does feel like Best Actress is shaping up to be Zellweger's to lose. Of course we all said the same thing about Close around this time last year, who unlike Renee is without an Oscar, but I think the dynamic changes when you're playing an icon, plus Judy feels like a much bigger deal than The Wife ever did and will probably get something like a Costume nod to go along.

I don't think the material is there for either to win - especially not with the 20th adaptation.

My audience for Judy was sooooo old. I was the youngest there by 20 years.  Bunch of old women.  Three of them were talking behind me, and I almost turned around and was like "Shut up."

[Legion Again]

That 2nd weekend hold would be Abominable.

 

But it's a 1 PM deadline number, so I wont be surprised if it jumps 3M

it's already approaching the wife's box office total. plus nobody cares about that movie. it was all "glenn close needs an oscar and this movie is competent enough, let's go!" this time at least renee already has an oscar so it's more about people's reaction to the performance rather than the performer's "due"ness. it's basically the only thing bringing that movie attention. if glenn had won an oscar for Dangerous Liasons like she should've then she probably wouldn't have been nominated for The Wife or Albert Nobbs.

Oh, My God, I just got out of Judy.  We don't even need to have an Oscar ceremony.  We can just mail the Oscar to Renee's house right now.  She is scary good.  It's eerie how much of Garland's essence and presence she captures without turning it into a drag show parody/homage. 

Agreed. 
 

I loved Judy! Renee was remarkable.

Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't tag him.   Glad to see DAR picking up the slack here. 👍

 joker will go higher. Late shows will be good plus this plays very strong in west coast.

So they're saying 25.7M Friday, pretty much agreed with Charlie. And 92 actually does look right off of such a Friday.  

 

Still early in the day, things could swing a lot in either direction.

92 is pretty darn good. It's not amazing but still for that budget damn. I will wait for final totals. 

[The Chad DC]

With deadline up to 92m, 100+ seems highly likely.

It could.Estimates usually go up from DHD's early numbers and Charlie did say that he was kinda conservative  with his 40M Friday.But he also said it could go either way.

Eh. Deadline always is conservative with their projections. Buzz is way too strong for it not to have a 100m OW.
