$62K PTA from 4 theaters according to HR (or about $250K for the weekend). Great start.

Bit surprised at that number. Didn't feel there was all that much buzz going into the weekend, so it only doing slightly less than Jojo is pretty nice to see. Guess Shia/Lucas are the new indie darlings. Speaking of Lucas, hopefully Waves delivers next week too.

North of 50% OS drop for Malef2 if I remember last weekend correctly.

8.0 Dom weekend is an under-estimation. Disney once again going for a bigger Sun drop.

Countdown quietly making decent money before hitting home video. 
 

Zombieland passed $100m worldwide, deserved. It was fun.

Unlike Doctor Puts Me to Sleep, Countdown is fun.

260+ ww will happen then.

45-50 OS after 30 weekend and 15-20 Dom after 10.8 weekend gives 260-270 ww

Future king Noah Jupe as well after Wonder, A Quiet Place, and Ford v Ferrari next weekend.

Wouldn't expect Honey Boy to gross more than 6-8m that Beautiful Boy Erased made.

[filmlover]

I think Waves will have no difficulty posting a $60K+ PTA next weekend tbh.

[Krissykins]

They opened Last Christmas waaaay too early. It’ll have good legs, but will be making tiny amounts when it actually comes to Christmas. Their mistake.

Oh yeah I'm not expecting much in expansion either, but I like Shia and Lucas, and I was hopeful that the movie at least delivered a solid PTA.

Will it have good legs though? With Thanksgiving weekend having a lot of new openers coupled with Frozen taking up a lot of screens and Last Christmas being the 4th best opener this weekend, I don’t see how it’ll hold onto screens when the holiday weekends begin.

I can’t believe Playing With Fire opened higher than Last Christmas. That is shocking.

Bingo...it's gonna need to actually have a huge hold next weekend to have a chance to keep Thanksgiving on more than 2K screens...with 6 wide releases PLUS Frozen even before the Thanksgiving releases (which add 2 more wide releases), it's gonna lose out unless it has a miniscule weekend drop and great weekdays.  It needs to beat every opener this weekend AND stay ahead of Joker, Mal, and T-6 (okay, that last one will be easy) to stay around at 10/12s and below...

 

With Thanksgiving so late (about a week later than normal), they had to wait on the release unless they knew they had a sure fire winner...and they ultimately didn't...
