Quote

Two wide entries will enter the marketplace, IM Global/Paramount/Eon’s Blake Lively R-rated femme assassin movie Rhythm Section and United Artists Releasing’s PG-13 fantasy horror Gretel & Hansel, but neither are expected to make any kind of excitement at the multiplex. Rhythm Section, which cost $50M before P&A, is expected to die according to tracking with a single digits gross over 3-days at 3,049 locations, while Gretel & Hansel could see $10M at 3,007 theaters in a weekend that will be ruled again by Sony’s Bad Boys for Life in its third go-round with $15.3M. If Hollywood is going to have any eyeballs this weekend, it will be for their movie trailers during the Big Game on Sunday.

Boring weekend incoming.

If their comparisons are Rings and Winchester, how do they square Gretel & Hansel out-opening the latter with lower previews?

[The Horror of Lucas Films]

Poor Blake, it's about time that she gets her break-out movie. 

[Cooper Legion]

Over 20x IM for Gret is usual deadline nonsense.    
 

235 for Rhythm is hilarious.

[Poseidon]

I can't see how Hansel would do double digits on SB-WE with those kind of Previews.

 

Last year, Miss Bala did barely $7m off 650k previews.

More fuel for the Geeks+Gamers "go woke, go broke" nonsense I guess.

I just love the fact that Captain Marvel proved them wrong. 

They preached for 6 mnths that Captain Marvel is going to flop. 

 

Opening weekend happen.. 

G&G : Second Weekend will drop more than 70%

 

Second weekend drops in 50s

 

They literally started crying. 

Captain Marvel box office fucked them badly. 

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

Came in even lower than Keyser's bottom of the barrel projection (300k).

 

Just turn this into the Superbowl trailer thread.

Nah, they're saving their hissy fits for Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984.

nope. It's really bad. Maybe crosses barely 5 mil OW?

 

edit: It's going to make back its budget though. I think it won't make its extra costs back.

It’s financially alright-ish with the low budget, should head for a 7M weekend or so. In the end it’s still yet another horribly received January horror movie that very few people will see and everyone forgets about in 2 weeks.

[JWR]

The budget is probably low as it is for most horror movies, so they won't be hurt too much by it.

[DAJK]

Gretel and Hansel will be lucky to make its budget back this weekend. At least it only cost 5M to make, so it should be in the clear financially.

 

Rhythm Section though that thing cost 50M, and it's likely going to be one of the lowest openers in 3000+ theatres (honestly I think 3M is where it's gonna land at this point).
