Not good for The Gentleman but expected. Bad Boys 3 exploding really hurt it.

I think Gentlemen would have done the same if BB3 had not exploded. It was always a niche film.

Agreed; if it's going to open on par with Us, it's going to have better legs than Us. IMO 75/200 wouldn't surprise me if the movie is at least "good".

It depends. As much as I enjoyed AQP, I always felt s the basic idea of the film would work great for a single film, but very questionable you could get more then one good film out of it.

[keysersoze123]

its really early but Gentlemen could hit double digits. if walkups are not too bad it will hit 3m+ true friday(its probably halfway there already with PS) which should be enough to hit double digits. Let us see where things are this evening. 

 

Turning has not turned the corner. I am thinking 5-6m OW at this point !!!

But this one doesn't look like a re-hash of the first part. Yea I'd like a lot more of the "be quiet" elements, but it looks like they're moving the story in a different direction this time.

Gentlemen starting with 94 Aud RT off 142 reviews. Not bad, may target an A-.    
 

Really hope Turning can nab that F, two Fs in a month would be history.

I know it isn't generating a lot of buzz, but I would be shocked if BOP does less than Shazam, I'm pretty sure it's hitting $200m easily as long as it get good reviews.

 

Harley still one of the most popular characters out there.

For those following SW still, TROS will be in more theaters than TLJ and RO in Week 6 according to The-Numbers.

Dreamworks/Universal’s PG-13 horror feature The Turning, which cost in the low teens before P&A, is seeing around $2.5M today (including $425K previews) for a $6M opening weekend. Critics turned their backs on Turning with an 18% RT score. PostTrak shows, gulp, no stars and a 20% definite recommend, and an overall 34% total positive. 

[Legion Again]

NO STARS!!!!! Incredible feat 😮

And yet, it is still reaching $6m, lol.

 

If it were Rated R, it wouldn't even cross $2m with this repection.

Those who braved this pic were 33% men over 25, 25% females over 25, 25% males under 25 and females under 25 (which you would think is the pic’s key demo) at 17%. There’s a chance that Sony’s 7th weekend of Jumanji: The Next Level could upset The Turning’s 5th place spot with $6.2M, -36% and a running cume of $281.7M.

Damn, just like Black Christmas, teens really don’t turn up for these things, not surprising Fantasy Island isn’t tracking well with the under 25 crowd.

[Blaze Heatnix]

Lol, zero stars for The Turning?  Even The Grudge had a star.

 

That ending probably pissed off the whole theater. I didn't watch this movie but I felt the same thing after reading the plot, haha.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

We’re getting 2 F cinemascores in the same month!

[JB33]

Geez, that's BAD for The Turning.

Concept will bring people in. But I smell A Cure For Wellness 2020. Truth Or Dare numbers is all it needs

If this film had been released a few years ago, it would have made at least $ 10m OW. Teens in 2020 prefer to spend the day watching videos on tiktok.

@keysersoze123 last post in the tracking thread:

 

Gentlemen Previews FINAL

MTC1 -  overall 602 shows 17371/78767 226461.91 
MTC2 - overall 596 shows 9657/76540 109547.00

 

It did have a good spurt but final numbers are still meh. I had thought 0.8m previously but comparing to DL it could go lower slightly. SO will say ~ 0.75m  

 

Turning Previews Final

MTC1 - overall 545 shows 9458/66245 120448.97

MTC2  - overall 591 shows 7486/75919 81448.00

 

Also did have a good increase today. I will say 0.45m 

 

Mostly there is little point tracking these movies days ahead of release as most of the ticket sales happen on the final day. 

 

 

Holy shit! Almost bang on.
